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've got a Wii, a PSone and my pc which has these specs:

-Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 3.1 Ghz

-1GB 667Mhz RAM

-Gigabyte DS3 Rev 2.0

-Ati Radeon X1300 Pro 256MB

-160GB Western Digital Sata

-Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit

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.

is that the 26" samsung??

yup, the LE26R74BD is my tv, the monitor is the 19'' Samung BF930, both are ace screens, except I get colour banding on the TV when I have my PS3 plugged in to HDMI, not noticable in blu ray movies and game syou kinda forget its there.

    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
