    Bus Lane PCN with a twist

    Given the evidence of your appeal I would like to think they would realise the mistake is on their side.

    Any Focus ST Estate owners?

    Not much to add, have a 2016 facelift ST-3 estate. Its been great, nothing beyond standard servicing. I've got the beginnings of corrosion on the rear arch lips sadly, but it's early so a minor fix at this stage. Sync 3 swap / update is simple enough and worth it to extend the life of the...

    Fixing stone chips

    I've used Chipex and was really very impressed with how good the results were. On the flat of the bonnet I also had some real craters. The idea with Chipex is that you leave a slightly proud raise on the repair then using their abrasive you level it with the existing paintwork then polish...

    Opinion on Bilt Hamber rust treatments?

    @jpaul the arch liner is a fabric type affair that removes fairly easily so should be no issue to see the full extent of the problem. I was thinking that the epoxy might have improved impact resistance on the arch edge. I think I'll be going with the deox gel / electrox primer / epoxy top...

    Opinion on Bilt Hamber rust treatments?

    How do people rate the Bilt Hamber anti-corrosion treatments, specifically I’m looking at using either their Deox-GEL or the Hydrate 80 treatments on some rust pitting around the rear arches. I’m concerned the edges of the arch lip at the top are quite thin and delicate so don’t really want to...

    Disable GPU for video playback?

    I apricate the continued follow-up from people. I got him to send me the screen shot below. All MPC internal filters disabled LAV splitter, LAV splitter source, LAV video decoder and LAV audio decoder added as external filters Hardware Acceleration decoder set to None Yet as you can see the...

    Disable GPU for video playback?

    Thats what we thought, but selecting none does...nothing! The GPU still maxes out at 100% making videos unwatchable He has a Neet branded Display Port to HDMI adaptor, it shows a picture but it suffers from awful screen breakup, lots of black screen moments. To be honest, we've been through...

    Disable GPU for video playback?

    ;tldr How can you set media players (MCP-HC, MPC-BE ) to FORCE CPU usage rather than GPU usage when rendering video? -- I’m helping my brother out over Teamviewer as he has got a rather odd situation with trying to get media playback to work smoothly. He has a fairly old i7-4770 tower which he...

    Bug in HDMI 2.1 Chipset May Cause Black Screen on Your Xbox Series X Console or NVIDIA GPU

    While it looks the solution for now, using eARC, LG seems to have a myriad of issues with it. From audio delays, passthrough issues, and downright incompatibilities with certain kit it's a minefield I don't want to paint myself into. Also, the resale value of these affected AVR units will be...

    LG CX (C10) OLED 2020 Thread

    The wall mount bracket for the GX is a fantastic piece of engineering both in how it moves and how it holds and retains such a large TV. I actually thought the cable routing was better on the GX than the CX being the HDMI ports point down, not to the side. For cable management there is...

    LG CX (C10) OLED 2020 Thread

    Interesting to see people wall mounting the CX when the GX is specifically designed to be mounted flush to the wall

    LG CX (C10) OLED 2020 Thread

    I noticed the price drop with JL too With price match after the sale is it a one time thing or can you match multiple times in the 28 day period?

    Replacing a Pioneer Kuro LX5090

    Having just left a Panasonic plasma for OLED if you don't want or need 4K, I'll echo others and agree, stay with what you know for now. For me the trade off of some of the motion handlining and low black levels vs 4K and higher framerates is acceptable, but at a huge financial cost.

    Graphics card outputs HDMI signal in one PC, but not in another?

    I'm guessing it is drivers, but wondered if it was something others had seen. Cutting off just after Windows starts to load makes me think the 1st machine has some sort of unusual driver / old config on it that causes the display to stop working. I really didn't want to flatten it as it's...

    LG CX (C10) OLED 2020 Thread

    Got it up on the wall Saturday, I am super impressed with the mounting bracket and the end finish. From reading and viewing the horror images from other forums online I cannot begin to think what settings people tweak to get those results. Either that or some panels break very easily! The...

    Graphics card outputs HDMI signal in one PC, but not in another?

    I have a couple of basic Dell desktops and after replacing the screen for one I needed a a HDMI output as the machine is only VGA onboard. Enter a cheap MSI GeForce GT 710. In the machine I need it in, it boots, you get the start of Windows 10 logo, then the monitor drops out and says "no...

    LG CX (C10) OLED 2020 Thread

    With my delivery tomorrow obviously the best thing to do is worry about things like this awful near black picture degradation from the CX thread over on the AVSForums https://www.avsforum.com/threads/2020-lg-oled-cx-gx-owners-thread-faq-posts-1-6-no-price-talk.3119288/post-60121550 I've read...

    LG CX (C10) OLED 2020 Thread

    65" That price match policy is bonkers good! Everywhere else I would have gotten it from is the same price, RS, cramptonmoor, currys etc so didn't think there was much point waiting for a later deal
