Monitor problem
Comments (13)Update: I think my problems have been solved/resolved. I did a google search for my particular monitor asking for info on a monitor that wouldn't shut down. Here was the help I got for that: 1 press menu button 2 hit + to get to "factory reset" 3 hit menu button again 4 hit + to get to "all settings" (NOT "factory") 5 hit menu button again I did this, then shutdown. It did the shutdown correctly. However, the colors remained pale. I unplugged the monitor and gave it a slot of its own. Re-ran the following 5 steps and the color is now normal. I had tried playing with the buttons before but apparently it needed a precise sequence. My son cleaned the tower out (said it was practically clean as a whistle inside) and moved it on top of my desk where it's fairly easy get to the back of the tower. He also left his spare monitor here, just in case. I'm a happy camper and want to thank each and every one of you for your help and suggestions. Shirley...See MoreComputer Cords!!!!!
Comments (9)oops just found another option. you could attach a long power strip to the far underneath of your desk, plug this to your outlet running the wire inside (underneath) your desk. then get this from ikea http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50035115 attach this next to your power strip underneath. it will hold all of your wires. you will be able to plug everything into the power strip there. then you will only have one wire coming out from your desk to your outlet (the power strip). everything else will be hidden under your desk and you wont have to worry about that big cord cover thing looking ugly. see this website for more details: here...See MoreOutlets & Cords.Ways to hide them without an appliance garage
Comments (10)It's fine but in terms of best use, maybe not. To plug something in, you have to bend over and look up to fit the plug. Items with transformers on the plugs (cordless phones, low voltage stuff) can easily fall out because of their weight. It does serve the purpose of meeting code however. Sometimes when people have a particular back splash where they use little electrics and hate having an outlet at all, it is a great alternative. Then it is best if an alternate counter (where you work the most) has conventional wall receptacles. What most electricians really hate is installing it. Bad enough to plug something in. Worse to look straight up installing it for a few hours. Also requires use of a GFCI breaker or feeding it from a kitchen circuit protected by a wall receptacle GFCI. Also with the looks, even very elaborate back splashes usually look fine with receptacles. Just get the correct color (white, almond, ivory, brown, black, or gray). Drives me nuts when I see dark brown with white devices or a white back splash with ivory devices. Can also get fancy and order Lutron's receptacles in like 24 different colors. Putting the receptacles horizontally and only 1" above the counter top also hides them well....See MoreLED tv vs computer monitor for playing games
Comments (5)There are 4K computer monitors, but many "run of the mill" PC monitors can run higher than 1080p, for example, my 23" monitor has a max resolution of 2560 x 1440 compared to 1920 x 1080 "full HD". That's 1.77 times the pixels. Not quite 4K 3840 x 2160 but noticeably more detail if your PC's graphics card can handle it. Resolution isn't the only thing either. You have to look at screen refresh rates as a powerful PC can run games at 90+ frames per second. Most reasonably priced 4K TV's have a native refresh rate of 60Hz. (regardless if they claim 120 or 240, that's just a marketing gimmick) That being said, you really need to be a game geek to really care. As a casual gamer, I've played games on mediocre systems at 30FPS 1080p and it looked good and played good to me personally. Cheap TV's will also have cheap LCD panels with uneven LED backlighting - creating a halo around the whole screen. The cheap panels will also blur more on fast action. I guess what it boils down to is what you want to pay for either. But a good TV will look great and can do more if it is web enabled. For a college kid where space is at a premium a TV may be the way to go....See MoreRelated Professionals
