Monitor/speaker question
Comments (41)OK, Zep. You've got the banana care nailed! A couple of ornamental (you don't want to eat the fruit, because it's full of seeds) varieties can survive in cold areas, like here in NY, with that kind of care. Edible varieies, around here, have to come inside for the winter. Now to the subject at hand: I got nowhere with the Creative link. I just got an error, HTTP 404 Not Found. When I clicked on, "Publisher: Creative", I got to a place where there were so many of these things that I didn't know which one was the right one. At the Gateway link, they asked for the serial number. (0016653113) When I gave them that, and clicked on a few other things that they told me to do, I got this instruction: "Insert System Restoration Kit Drivers CD in the System Restoration Kit Window." I found the System Restoration CD, and I guess there's really only one place I can insert it. On the disc itself, it says to reinstall some old Windows operating systems, start the PC with the disc inserted, and to install system software and drivers, insert the disc while the PC is on. So, I guess I start up the PC, and put the disc in. If I remember correctly, from the few times I have used any restorations, long ago, you restore to a certain date. A date, when I still had sound, was before I took the 'puter in for service. If I restore to a date like that, while restoring my sound, am I not also restoring the problems that prompted me to take the machine in for service, in the first place?...See MoreGreat idea about door lock monitoring
Comments (2)At my shop, there is one walk-in door and two big garage doors. One of the doors is 20 wide and 14 high. When the deadbolt is locked on the walk-in, the bolt pushes a switch that shuts off the "raise" buttons for the garage doors....See MoreDumb Q. about Monitors
Comments (3)The biggest difference that I know of is a tv has the tuner and speakers. I know some monitors have speakers but they are powered by an outside source and not usually adequate for 'tv watching' in a living room area. I think the contrast ratio and brightness are different between the two. There is that whole 1080i 1080p 720 that monitors are not graded by. Anyone out there correct me if I am wrong but a monitor would work if only the viewing part of a home theater system. I am unsure how a monitor would hold up to 'tv' type viewing over a long period 'years'....See Morestoring a monitor question
Comments (4)All electronics should avoid temperature extremes but how long a period are you talking about and at what temperatures? LCDs do have a liquid-like material in them however if you check the specifications on the monitor it should give temperature ranges for storage and for operation. I've seen on some, ranges from -40ðF to 115ðF for a storaage range and of course operating range needs to be much more mild, like 50ðF to 90ðF. Prior to use, it's extremely important to let the unit slowly come to room temperature. Same goes for notebood computers left in cars, cameras, video gear, back in the days of VCRs, etc. If you're talking a short term storage where the temp might get to freezing, I wouldn't be to concerned. Let's face it, in shipping units to the northland in the winter the trucks aren't heated nor are many of the warehouses. But if you're talking about a good monitor that you like, I'd put it in a closet or something. It really doesn't take up that much room....See MoreWalnutCreek Zone 7b/8a
