    Are there any alternatives to the U2410/U2711?

    I currently use a U2410, which is overall a great monitor, but as I'll be moving to France next year for uni, I'll be selling everything so I can travel light and then buying new stuff over again. I'd be looking at either 24" or 27" and preferably for something a bit more slimline than the...

    Laptops with video input? Any recommendations?

    I want to get rid of my desktop system and get a high end laptop, as I need to move out of my flat next summer as all my flatmates are finishing uni and going off wherever. I also intend to go to uni myself the following year, so I don't want to have to lug around my current PC and 24" monitor...

    Best large capacity (1TB+) USB/firewire hard drive?

    Thanks for the advice - I'll look into the Samsung and WD drives and a decent fanless enclosure.

    Show us your TFT setups!!

    Just to match? The Wireless Mighty Mouse is a really recent addition and I really do hate it. I might try to get and Onkyo bluetooth keyboard and mouse to match the PC: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/valumore/y4961330025124/

    Best large capacity (1TB+) USB/firewire hard drive?

    Because my PC can only hold one 2.5" drive.

    Slightly ageing, yet still awesome, BenQ FP241W. Can't really see myself replacing it unless it dies on me:D

    Best large capacity (1TB+) USB/firewire hard drive?

    I'm looking for a decent 1 or 2 terabyte external hard drive, as my current internal 500GB is approaching its limits. My main preoccupation with it will be sound levels, as it will be used almost exclusively for audio and video, with essential stuff being kept on both drives. The current range...

    Bluetooth keyboard not recognised on bootup?

    Cool, just wasn't too sure about whether there was such an option on the BIOS or not.

    Bluetooth keyboard not recognised on bootup?

    I have an Apple wireless keyboard and mouse which are set up with a bluetooth USB adapter and are working fine, but I have a small problem in that whenever I power on my PC, it won't recognise the presence of the keyboard, so I need a USB keyboard hanging around just so I can boot up any time...

    My PC is comatose!! Any ideas how to revive it?

    It is a VGX-XL301 and has a custom Sony power supply and motherboard. I do have another PSU, but it doesn't have the same power connections. Changing the motherboard would be a moot point, as they cost a silly amount of money to buy separately. And it doesn't have a mobo screen adapter thingy.

    My PC is comatose!! Any ideas how to revive it?

    I have a Vaio HTPC which has recently decided to not exactly die on me, but not boot up at all. What happens is that all the power lights come on, all the fans run, the 3 hard drives spin up and then nothing happens, but all the system fans keep running at a constant speed. I think it is a...

    Need a monitor stand - any suggestions?

    Well, I'm downgrading my PC/home cinema setup at the moment, so I suppose I could use the savings on one.

    Need a monitor stand - any suggestions?

    The second one looks like it would do the trick;) It's also the only desk mountable one Ergotron recommend for 23"+ monitors - I think the screen is aroun 10kgs, so it should be fine. They don't come cheap mind, but it has to be better than shifting the monitor (the current stand is...

    Need a monitor stand - any suggestions?

    I'm after a monitor stand that will easily rotate 180 degrees, so that I can get it to face my chair when I'm browsing the net, working, etc and face my bed when I watch TV or videos. I've never looked for one before, so I'm not sure what to get or even what brands to look out for:confused: -...

    Lian Li PC-V300 5.25" bay removal???

    How do I remove the bay from the case? I really need to remove it to securely install the DVD drive and a third hard drive - there's no way I can do it without removing the bay. They make installation look so easy on the supplied instructions - how small do they think people's hands are?:p

    Which 21-22" monitor should I get?

    True. Unfortunately, I don't have the extra £200 or so to make the necessary jump up to 24":( I'll see if I can find somewhere selling an 'S' panel and see what I think of it. I just remember seeing the 245B lately and didn't like it at all. I'm not really a fussy guy when it comes to...

    Which 21-22" monitor should I get?

    Wanting to pick up one for under £200 on a well-known auction site:D Was considering the Syncmaster 226BW, but having read that it uses a TN panel, I'm now not too sure. I'll be watching a lot of media on it, mostly lying in bed and don't want to have to get up to adjust the angle of it all...

    Playstation 3 + pc monitor

    You can easily get an HDMI to DVI converter. I believe the smallest HDCP-compliant monitor is the Gateway FPD2185W. Then again, a 19" shouldn't look too bad - as for cables, have a look into "HDFury".

    Samsung 226BW grows to 24" model - The Samsung 245B Widescreen!!

    Wanting to know whether TN panels really are a compromise - I'll be using my display for general PC use, movies and gaming (via PS3). Will I notice a huge difference between this and a PVA?

    OcUK great deal on LG 226WTQ & LG L245WP - Great Prices !!

    Any idea how much the 245T will be priced at? You mention the BenQ, but the 244T is still hugely overpriced, so will the 245T go for a similar figure?
