I have my Sony 46W905A which is pretty good for gaming. All that is plugged into it now is the XBox One and PS4. It was one of the best TV's for gaming when it came out in 2013 and in game mode the lag is something like 8ms, although it wasn't purchased or used for that initially.

Picked up a Panasonic DMP-UB900, which is a great machine but due to my lack of research threw up a sudden and unplanned upgrade frenzy. 1. - Plugged it into my Samsung UE48HU7500 only to find that while all the HDMI ports are Version 2.0, the only one that supports HDCP 2.2 is the only port...

They are both monster machines by the looks of it. The GT72S 6QF has the advantage of 32GB of DDR4 over the 16GB of the GT80S and also sports 2x256GB NVMe SSD as opposed a single one. These are blisteringly fast and a larger boot drive would be useful. While I assume two GTX-980M in SLI will...

I have sorted it out. It looks like the version of Dragon Gaming Centre I was running didn't have support for SkyLake. I did an update and now when I stick it in Sport Mode I can select multiplier up to 41 :D

There are overclocking options in the BIOS to set the Multiplier up to 41 but I assumed there was an MSI utility to do it from within Windows and I have found reference to such on the internet. It's not really an issue as I would probably only overclock for Benchmarking at the moment, the...

I have the 264UK with the i7-6820HK, so it has an unlocked multiplier. I need to have a play around with it I guess.

Hi, I have had this laptop for a couple of days and it really is a monster piece of kit. Last night I thought I would try the advertised pre-configured overclock on the CPU to bring it up to 4Ghz but couldn't see how to do it. I found an MSI article which says I should be able to do it from...

Don't know who I dislike more, the Nazi's who dropped the bombs in the first place or the 1950's/60's town planners that came along filled in the sites with terrible concrete blights. One aerial mine looks to be responsible for two horrific tower blocks near me, the only two remaining in the...

I have only seen the Sony in rolling demo's in the shop and it did look good but after reading many reviews and looking at several options, I went for the Samsung. I am not disappointed as it is a great TV and HD/UHD stuff looks fantastic on it. My last two TV's before this were Sony and I am...

I have the Samsung UE48HU7500 and I am very impressed so far. It's a lot of TV for the money and with a bit of adjustment the picture is great. There is only a limited amount of 4K material around to show it off at the moment but it's up-scaled picture is pretty damned good, especially when you...

I mostly watch the HD channels on Virgin Media which seems to be increasing i number all the time but when I am forced into watching SD, I am surprised by how good the picture is. It is possibly a little bit softer than on my Sony W905A 1080P TV but I have to say it isn't as bad as I thought it...

Hi, I have just bought this TV and I have to say I am very impressed. Initially I wasn't planning to go for a 4K set but didn't realise they had come down so much in price. When I looked into it, this and the Panasonic 50AX802B were the two that seemed to be best at the price point. I...

I just came back from Vietnam. The setup at the Cu Chi Tunnels is that half way around the tour of the area, you get to the Firing Range/Gift Shop/Cafe area. Those that want to fire guns queue up and select from the list of weapons on offer and pay for the amount of ammo required, those that...

Had various home computers in the 80's (Dragon 32, Commodore 64, Amiga A500) but the first non home computer game I got into was Colossal Cave Adventure running on the Wang Word Processor network at the office, must be 1988 or 1989 I guess. I played a bit of Leaderboard and Alleycat as well. Me...

We have just ordered up a couple of FortiNet 800C Appliances and a FortiAnalyzer. They will be replacing a mixture of Checkpoint and TMG. From what I have seen of the product in demo's etc, it looks like a good solution.

That brings back memories. Had great fun on Compunet back in the late 80's with the super fast 1200/75 modem. I loved the demo scene, Paryline (Chat Rooms) & MUD (Multi User Dungeon). Good times.

I would like to introduce you to Puskas.

My TV (Sony 46W905A) seems very responsive when the Scene selection is set to Game. I believe from various reviews that it is somewhere between 8-20ms as opposed to 100ms in other non gaming modes.

RAT Zapper 2000*, Chocolate Digestive, Done! That is what I refer to it as. Got it for £20 off of the Rain Forrest lot, worked when we had rat problems last year and chalked up about 4 kills. It zaps and kills them instantly and you just remove the containment pen and pour it into a bag and...

I was interested in getting one of these to go with my new Sony 46W905A TV and to replace my old Amp/Speaker setup but they are harder to get hold of than the proverbial rocking horse excrement. I ended up getting a Yamaha YSP-2200 soundbar which does an reasonable job of delivering movie...
