    Backlight bleed - unlucky or is it every where?

    Oh, I definitely agree, I'm in the vast minority with my opinion. Like I said, I don't do anything extravagant with my monitor or computer. Most of my day is spent reading through logs and config files in white text on a black background. I'm sure that's why it's a more pronounced issue for...

    Backlight bleed - unlucky or is it every where?

    Meh! Not really going to disagree with you that that's just the way it is... but man! I definitely consider this a step backwards and it's a shame that it's so universally accepted. Unless the LG monitor's technology if manufactured today (I believe this LG monitor was first produced in 2014)...

    Backlight bleed - unlucky or is it every where?

    Here's what the backlight bleed looks like. I know digital photos kind of exaggerate the bleed, but the lower left is where it is the worst. This is with the Youtube backlight bleed video running and brightness set to 0. I did try playing some movies on it for a few hours, just to see if...

    Backlight bleed - unlucky or is it every where?

    I actually don't see any screws on it, but it's entirely possible that I'm overlooking them. I just bought it last week, I'm sure I'm still within the return policy window. It's an HP 22yh monitor, which I believe is TN and not IPS. What was before LED backlighting? I'm thinking this LG...

    Backlight bleed - unlucky or is it every where?

    So, long story short - I recently purchased two new monitors - one was an Acer 24" and one was an HP 21" - both monitors suffered from backlight bleed, that's just really made them unusable for me. I work in Linux - I have a lot of xterms opened up at any given time and use a black background...

    Identify chip with heatsink

    Any suggestions on how to reattach it? It had some clips, where the heatsink fastened onto the motherboard. Unfortunately, those fasteners, the ones glued or soldered to the motherboard, fell off. Is there any type of thermal adhesive tape that I could put on the heatsink and possibly hold it...

    Identify chip with heatsink

    Can anybody help me to identify what kind of chip this is? It's not the CPU, you can see the CPU in the pictures. It had a heatsink on it, but the heatsink and the clips fell off. It was an old Compaq Windows XP computer. I was going to repurpose it with Linux, but I am not sure if it...

    Print Server Questions

    That's kind of what I thought. But I did notice at the bottom of that Dlink page: But I don't see a list of compatible printers on their support site (or maybe I'm not looking at the right one). But I wasn't sure what their definition of compatible was. Sometimes compatible means that its...

    Print Server Questions

    Will a USB to Ethernet print server work with any printer, or are they only for specific printers? I have an HP F4400 printer that I'd like to share out between two computers. I have a wireless router, and both computers are networked together through that. Could I get something like...
