I finally beat Death (first battle) on Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin. His 4444 hit points had been giving my level 34 some trouble, so I went on Wifi Shop Mode and got some Berserker armor. Having...
Coding your own display drivers will teach you more about how computers actually work than a master's degree in computer science. Of course you already knew that... There is a certain degree of...
Ah... I'm really starting to love my monitor... there's just something wonderful about working / gaming on a 27" screen... and widescreen is absolutely an addictive way to live... I don't think I...
Mmm... So I finally took the plunge and bought a 27" 720p LCD HDTV and I have to say - the difference is *amazing*. Even compared to a high-end CRT the size difference between a 17" 4:3 image...
Nintendo needs to get their act together and get some definite release dates for some of their big franchises. I'm interested in purchasing a Wii - absolutely - but I want to know that there will...
It’s important to note that 1080i is not 1080p when it comes to television sets - I think this is an area many people get confused. Early CRT HDTVs are not giving you a 1920×540 (1080i)...
19" is too small for a widescreen monitor - in fact I'm having my doubts that the 26" size will really "satisfy" but for $400 I probably can't go too far wrong. Sometime in that far distant world...

No one seems to know if the Wii will support VGA output. This is certainly putting a brick in the works, so to speak, as far as picking a new panel. Spending an extra $400 for component video...
