Yep, without it my room sounds horrible (echoes and such). As soon as It was installed it made a huge difference.

I recently purchased a GT 430 which I use to output my audio via HDMI to my receiver, it even bitstreams DTS-HD and TrueHD audio. The GT 430 is an excellent solution for HTPC in my opinion.

The GTX 580 can do audio over HDMI.

Although (I didn't know this when I jumped for the 580) Nvidia has yet to implement the driver to allow DTS-HD and TrueHD to be transmitted... or so says the...

Thanks. Yep gt 430 is set as the physx card but it's more important purpose is to output hd audio to my receiver. AnyDVD HD+ MPC-HC + FFDShow = DTS-HD / TrueHD audio while watching blu-rays.

Speaking of Dell cases, I opened up one today for someone. It's like they go out of their way to make things difficult on the end user. The motherboard had a layout I have never even seen before....

Thanks! It's not quite as awesome as some of your builds, but it's always a work in progress :D

Thanks guys! I love posting in this thread. Hopefully my pics will inspire someone as many of yours have done for me.

Here's mine, I love it!

Back in the beginning of September I bought a u2711 off ebay from seller "electronics.liquidation". NIB, for $879 with the 3 year warranty. Worked out pretty well, I imagine prices couldn't have...

I ran a 32" samsung HDTV (LN32A550) as my main monitor for about 2 years. Basically it worked out really well for games and movies. I recently moved back to an actual computer monitor (Dell u2711)...

Well I'm sorry to see ek do something like this. I was planning on purchasing my next block from them but I don't think I will anymore. It's a shame because I really liked their products.

Thanks for the reply, after tweaking things through quickgamma a couple more times I have to say that I am quite pleased! I definitely don't want to drop $200 on a colorimeter.

I don't think you could go wrong with the U2711, seems like it's the best bang for your buck in it's resolution and size. All I can say now is that the colors this thing produces are unreal.

I...

I tried those but don't really see what they do. It doesn't seem to change anything when I apply it. Those really only apply to that reviewers monitor since each monitor differs some.

So I have been trying to write something all day but work kept getting in the way :(

I received my u2711 last night. I couldn't wait to get home from work yesterday after seeing via email that my...

Thanks for the news, downloading now!

Thanks Frag and Turtle. Turtle, that link definitely puts my mind at ease thanks for that! It's due to arrive next week. I plan on taking pics and posting them to this thread... Cant wait.

Ok so I bit on one from eBay seller "electronics.liquidation". NIB, for $879 with the 3 year warranty. I Also took the $20 pixel check before shipping. I just couldn't resist any longer.

I have done some more reading and I have one thing left that's bothering me about the u2711... The anti-glare.

Typically an anti-glare coating on a monitor does not bother me. I have owned...

Thanks HW. The more and more that I read and see I feel like the u2711 is just right, and the current price of $899 sits well with me.

Anyone else have some input for me?

Thanks for the quick reply turtle. I have to agree when it comes to 16x9(2560x1440) vs 16x10(2560x1600); to me it isn't that big of a deal I would take either one.

So I'm in the market for a new monitor. Over the past couple years this has become one of the most important parts of my pc to me. Afterall you spend 100% of your time looking at it.

Right now I'm...
