idk how to do it but you should try to make it so each team has an average KDR close to 1.0, maybe within a tolerance of .25 or something?
idk just an idea.
forgot to mention, Dell makes pretty good LCDs as well (of course their panels are all made by Samsung and LG
)yeah it basically worsk out to Samsung is the best then there are a few decent ones (Hanns-G, BenQ, Viewsonic, LG) then the rest are about 50/50 chance if you actually get a good working panel from them. I mean you could get lucky and get a good Acer or it might come with dead pixels, terrible light bleeding, poor color reproduction, and a fuzzy picture. I would say its probably a 95% chance of getting a good Samsung, 80% chance of getting a good Hanns-G, BenQ, Viewsonic, LG, and 50% chance of getting a good something else. Even if you do get a working “other brand” the picture is rarely as clear as a Samsung.
well its hard to argue against samsung…
I have a benq that I like and hanns-g is typically pretty decent as well.

Karen and I have our 40in Samsung hooked up at 1920×1080 to the media center pc and it looks pretty frakking amazing actually. I can read text and even surf the internet from the couch which is about 7-8 ft away. At 1080p resolution (native to the TV, hello?) the pixels are exactly the right size. I’m using a dvi-hdmi converter. While I agree that it’s overkill and I don’t use it for gaming or word processing, it’s only because it won’t fit on my desk
. I’ve thought about dragging my pc over to the tv several times (Karen will kill because of the mess). The only problem that I could see Major having is his graphics card not being able to push 1080p at any kind of decent frame rate in games. That is a metric *edited*ton of pixels to push for a midrange graphics card. Hell, that’s a metric *edited*ton of pixels to push for a high end graphics card…This is true and while your card should be able to run everything at high settings at 1680×1050 (standard res for a 20-22″ monitor) it might struggle at 1080p.
I guess it comes down to what you have room to do.
Also nice to see you again Kuros.
yeah the TV as a monitor is never all its cracked up to be anyways… you would be running a what 37+” screen at only 1920×1080? the size of the pixels is obnoxious if you are trying to use it for everyday work (i.e. word processing). I agree with masterp, get a 20-22″ LCD monitor then use what money you have left for a TV.

Try going to your nearest weapon store, and buying a 12-gauge pump shotgun… Shot it repeatedly 8 times.. Now the tricky part… While you’re shooting SCREAM as loud as you can, as many swear words in the 8 shot action. Then afterwards make a really loud laugh, and say “WHO IS NOT WORKING NOW!!!” …. dude i *edited*ing swear, it works for me everytime! (is that why my internet bill is like $50,000 a year?)That is actually the correct procedure to quickly fix the problem.
I love that whenever he refers to perfection in his reviews it shows a small picture of Portal. Priceless.
Seriously though I love these reviews and always have (I actually didn’t even bother to click the link to see which review you had linked to)

Looks the same to me… you can change your skin in the drop down box in the very bottom righthand corner of the website… maybe it accidentally got changed?
I was wondering the same thing. I just haven’t gotten one because they are expensive and hard to find.

The Opteron 285 is the only one still on Newegg and it’s listed at $429 each. No tax/free shipping.The 280 used to be on tigerdirect for $200; much better deal IMO

Lets just leave both TF2 servers up and fill them and fill both CSS servers. That’ll max the box.idc what we do lets just max it ONCE then we can upgrade.
Maybe you should restart the vote and in the first post explain the different choices because this vote is fail ATM.
