    Guys, please do not post HUGE images, I had to make some of them into links because they were so large. Also, don't quote images - just cut them out and quote the rest of the post.

    Yeah thats true, but know of any forums entirely for desktops.
    Don't get me wrong, I love NBR and all, but the desktop forum just seems dead compared to the rest of the boards, makes sense though! :)

    I do a bit of research at hardforum.com. Not that I have a desktop at the moment, but I did most of my monitor research there. It's definitely an active, knowledgeable community from what I've seen.

    Not gonna lie, it sure is a beauty. :D

    Got mine also from Newegg. Came dead-pixel free and does not nearly have as loud of a buzzing noise as compared to other users.

    I'm still waiting for my $50 rebate, but even at "full" price (newegg's is way cheaper than brick and mortar stores) it's a steal. My only real complaint is that the stand is wobbly and tends to droop. Luckily, it can't go too far down, and the viewing angles are fantastic. Mine does buzz if I put it below 98% brightness, but I don't have a problem keeping it at 98 anyways. Definitely worth the money.

    I agree. The price for a M-PVA panel for under $400 with HDMI and other video inputs is pretty damn good in my book.

    I'm still waiting on my $50 MIR too. Probably won't get it until Summer :rolleyes: .

    I love how clean your setup is. I like it when mine is clean, but I hate keeping it and especially getting it clean. I'm waaaay too lazy.

    @D-EJ915, are you a member of [H]ardForum.com? I could have sworn I've seen those pics in the 'Show off your server setups'.

    Getting my new laptop Saturday, will post pictures of my entire setup when I get everything... set-up.

    You don't need to pay per month for all of them, if your into anime style cartoonish graphics I would suggest MapleStory, but prepare to grind grind grind!

    I think I can see a cable box there so, probably Sucka-mun's living room setup.

    Well for the sheer heck of it here is my lack of a setup as I have no room for a desk. xD
