You may want to update your signature.  Your monitor either has a 500:1 Contrast Ratio or 24ms Response time.  The 12ms FPT has 500:1, the 24ms FPV has 1000:1.

huh? please explain.

how do I make sure which one mine is?

I guess mine is the FPV cause it the contrast seems better than my 1703fp's.

i had an XPS for almost 2 years. i didn't like it very much. actually yesterday i tore the **** out of it. as soon as it stops snowing i plan on smashing the hell out of it also, because...well there really is no reason other than i hated it.

Well, the new XPS looks pretty cool. I would much rather build my own, but my I get discounts from dell, and I like having a warranty just in case.

mine was the gen 1 model. same as the new ones but a bright blue case. believe me, I honestly don't recomend them.

i recently purchased an 8400 (because of 30% discount) and i like it probably 10x more than i liked the XPS.

Do you have a part number on that lamp? Where did you get it?

Updated a little bit.

Got rid of the unnnecessary monitors and got myself the best 17" LCD money can buy : Dell 1704FP.  Games, movies and everything else looks amazing on this monitor.  Much much better than 1703FP.

I moved the case up onto the desk, and am suffering from its super-loud fan.  Not to worry though, a new dell may be coming soon.  Maybe an XPS?

Did some major wire organizing, although it can still be better.  Moved the desk closer to the wall to make more room for the TV, and moved the lamp to the opposite side.

Notice the custom Mx700 crouching proudly ontop the case.

My camera's batteries are dead. I'll try to get some pics up if I can.

DO NOT attempt to do it yourself, as it is very tedious, takes forever to dry and is not worth the time and effort. If your Mx700's paint is coming off, let it be.

I got my lamp at Ikea for $8.

I dunno, It came with the pc and seems to have all the sockets at the front, Its called as connect XL by medion and when i checked it up on the hardware devices it shows up as a usb mass storage device with no name :huh:. Inside the pc its all directly connected to the mobo, soundcard and my graphics card so i m guessing its an integral part of the system design thats buit into it.

Hi guys,

I'm new around here, and I just got my Dell 2405FPW on friday and I'm loving it :)

I'm getting the Logitech Z-5500 speakers very soon to replace my old altec lansing ones you see here. I'm going to mount the 2 front and 2 back speakers to the top corners of the walls so it will be more surround like.

I apologize if the pics are too big, I couldn't locate the rules on posting size :)

    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
    • ive always been fascinated by old software this is an old video player for windows from apple
