  1. YEah I was double checking a few things today and I was infact very wrong about the contrast ratio. And you are right about the standard being 1000:1 for a good monitor. I guess I was just comparing a computer monitor to a LCD TV which was a completely wrong thing to do. I do have a question about video cards though. I have no HDMI inputs on my monitor but my plasma TV does. My video card (which is kinda or very crap and in need of an upgrade) has 2 DVI inputs and an Svideo out but the TV hates it. Is there a card on the market right now with both DVI outs and a HDMI out? Just something good to connect to the TV that gives me 1080?
  2. I have a 150lb bag in the basement. Unfortunately my keyboard was upstairs. I was a bit upset on my way to the store to get a new keyboard thinking the logitech was pooped. But now that I know it wasn't broken I'm kinda happy that I did it. JUst knowing that the logitech can take the abuse is reason enough for me to continue buying them. I'm sold on Logitech, although I was already. More so now though. Thanks for the welcome.
  3. Well here is a little story about a fight I had last night with the girlfriend and my frustrated run in with my G15 key board. You all know how women can just so in your face about every little thing right? You know how they know what buttons they can push to get you so damn mad that you just snap? Well I'm a pretty dosile guy and I try my very best to be super passive. But last night was insane. She got under my skin last night just complaining about everything including our relationship (which is a weekly event) that I totally lost my mind. Now I would never ever raise my hand to a woman unless I was giving her a high 5. So instead of taking my frustrations out on the woman I love I beat the living snot out of my G15. Yeah I know...stupid me. But what was the alternitive? Sit there and listen to her? I think not. So here I am 2 fist pounding like the hulk on that tank in the movie (no i didn't yell hulk smash but I should have). I was beating on this thing like I was trying to send it through the oak desk it sits on and into the basement. Now picture me. 220lbs and a Downhill mountain biker who works out daily. I'm not a small man by any means. So after beating the hell out of the keyboard I noticed some fruit juice had spilt on the keys and buttons where everywhere. I was then so damn mad that I just smashed my most favorite keyboard I picked it up and smashed in against the wall. Not even looking at the key board I left the house in a rage to just cool off. I said well I have to get a new key board now, so I went to the local shop and bought some stupid microsoft 7000 wireless POS. It came with a mouse (blah) that I won't even use because I have a G5. SO anyways. I get home and my girl is saying sorry for being a retard and all was well again. Litterally. She had picked up my logitech G15 and found all the peices on the floor. All that was broken was the enter button. If you could have seen the abuse this keyboard took you would have been shocked and amazed that it took what I gave it. I no word of a lie walked right back out and returned the microcrap keyboard and glued the enter key back together. And I type this story to you today on my very cool and stupidly strong Logitech G15 super keyboard I hope you all liked my story. I have been lurking on OCC for a good 5 years and I thought this was worthy of a post. That is how shocked I was.
  4. Those monitors on Buy.com look like the HP version without the HP lable. Looks like they are a little different in specs but if they units use the same screens then I don't see a problem with them. And for the price you can't beat that. I have 3 HP LCDs. 2 w2207's and one w1907 and the difference from the 22 and the 19 is huge. The res on the 19 is a little to be desired but the 22's are outstanding. Unfortunately the 22's don't come with HDMI just HPCP. Some HD movies look weak and I would much rather turn my chair and watch any HD movie or blue ray on my plasma tv behind me. THe speakers just suck, but that is to be expected with 2watt built in speakers. I have only connected them to see what they would sound like and even on full they are either too quiet of or they crackle. If I had the option of buying a new monitor I would more then likely shop around for a better monitor for my money. With only 1000:1 contrast ratio its extremely poor. The monitor ghosts images even at 0.05ms response times which is extremely sad. And HP's warranty just all out sucks. ASUS, View Sonic and others come with a 3 year parts and service which leads me to think HP knows something and just doesn't want to cover it. Basically for 200 bucks to get a knock off is a little better then the $450 I paid for each of my 22's and the 300 I paid for the 19.
