Living Room / To wide-screen or not to wide-screen

« Last post by lanux128 on November 04, 2007, 10:02 PM »

after maintaining for so long that CRTs are better for gaming, i am forced to make the change to LCD.. thus the need for this thread.. i have my eyes for this model: Samsung 931BW and there is also a 'gaming' model - 931CW but somehow i'm not too keen on that. anyway, i have some basic questions regarding model..

• is it better to go wide-screen if i'm not going to watch movies on PC? since i sort of miss the extra height of the normal size..
• if i go for the wide-screen model, will my games be shown stretched?
• this model doesn't come with any extras such as USB ports etc. is this a plus or a minus?
• what is the general feelings of this model, if anyone is using?

Samsung SyncMaster 931BW

Lashiec, how did you get to that window on xplorer2? I have it, but can't figure it out. Then again, I'm too lazy to RTFM.

so icekin does have a file-manager..

anyway to continue the trend, here's the feature's screenshot from Total Commander..

Well, none of those is a attribute changing program exclusively

-Lashiec (November 01, 2007, 07:27 PM)

imo it's better to invest on a full featured file manager.. here's the screenshot from Salamander..

slightly off-topic, there is a Skrommel tool to locate the pointer: MouseMark.

MouseMark - Press Ctrl+M to locate the mouse.

Features:
- Two alternating crossmarks.
- Change hotkey, delay, size, thickness and color.
- To change the settings, choose Settings in the Tray menu.

J-Mac: i don't seem have the problem that you mentioned (touch-wood!), maybe it's card-specific? btw, mine is nVidia 7600GT.

i think there are documented cases of conflicts between nView & Ultramon and also i found nView quite lacking so haven't tried it yet.. but your account of full-screen video is quite frightening, i'm might try to see what happens on my pc, what media player are you using?

just found this via Google: WinAmp File Copy. it hasn't been updated for some time but it's freeware (donations encouraged)..

This program will enable you to bookmark audio files while playing them in WinAmp, in order to copy your selection to a destination directory (for example, directly to your portable MP3 Player). It's a simple tool, but it is just doing the job... FYI: I have made this program for my colleagues (at the local radio station) in order to prepare their radio show and collect the tracks for their playlist.
