26''?

I got the 26'' samsung, loving it, just some colour banding issues thru ps3 on HDMI :(

Yep it's the 26". I'm having no problems playing my 360 through VGA, but the auto brightness thing can get really annoying if I'm playing a game/watching a film where most of the scenes are half-dark so it's constantly flickering...

stick your tv into standby and press info->menu->mute->power

this will turn on the tv with the engineer menu onscreen, select 'option table' then on this screen you can disable dynamic dimming. it was a feature I hated too but once I set this the tv was better.

I accept cash and all major credit cards :p

there are loads of options under that menu, just be careful what you set. I tend not to play about with channel based stuff, but I turned off dynamic contrast and dynamic dimming and thats about it.

I currently have a 17 inch Sony CRT, but I am upgrading this summer to a 19" Widescreen Viewsonic for my PC.

I have the Wii and PSone connected to a 27" TV.

    • AMD 9070XT

      By Mindovermaster · Posted

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
