Acer Aspire M3800-U3802A

It's always nice to see an entry-level PC that goes beyond the basics. A price premium of $70 to do so, however, can be punitive in the rock-bottom budget segment where every cent counts. So despite niceties such as a multi-card reader and HDMI port, a list price of $449.99 narrowly keeps Acer's Aspire M3800-U3802A from toppling the $380 Compaq Presario CQ5110f as our entry-level Editors' Choice. That doesn't mean, however, that the Acer isn't worth a closer look.

One word: Capacity.

With 120GB of storage, iPod classic can hold up to 30,000 songs, 150 hours of video, or 25,000 photos.^* That’s more than enough room for a day’s — or a lifetime’s — worth of entertainment. 

iPod + iTunes

Feed your iPod classic.

iTunes is your entertainment superstore. It’s your ultra-organized multimedia collection and jukebox. And it’s how you load iPod classic with music, movies, TV shows, games, podcasts, and audiobooks. 

Instruction for choosing LCD

Instructions

1. 
   
   Step 1
   Consider the cost and your budget. While you should look at all of the technical carefully, pricing is important. This will help you eliminate various monitors right away.
   
2. 
   
   Step 2
   Choose a size. First and most obviously you need to consider your desk space and how much room you have. Second you need to consider your video card and the native resolution it can support. Native resolution is the physical count of pixels on the monitor. If you don't use the native resolution of the monitor it may have a washed out look.
   
3. 
   
   Step 3
   Decide on wide-screen or regular format. Wide-screen might be best for video or other multimedia purposes but beyond this it is probably just personal preference. You will need to consider that video cards such as those made before 2006 may not support wide-screen monitors.
   
4. 
   
   Step 4
   Choose a connection type. This depends on what kind of connection your video card accepts. The two most popular connections are DVI and VGA. VGA is the older type and DVI the newer. DVI gives a more stable picture.
   
5. 
   
   Step 5
   Find the best contract ratio. Contrast ratio is a number like 400:1. The bigger the first number the better contrast you will get and the better everything will look on the monitor.
   
6. 
   
   Step 6
   Look at the response rate. Response rates are in the milliseconds but they can make a huge difference. In the early days of LCD monitors the response rate was about 24ms and playing games or watching a movie had a blur effect. Be aware that some monitors overclock their response rates and that can cause artifacts to show up on the screen.
   
7. 
   
   Step 7
   Find out the viewing angle. With LCD monitors, when you are not looking directly at the monitor it will be visually distorted. The maximum viewing angle lets you know how far from the center you can look at the monitor and still see it at an acceptable level.
   
8. 
   
   Step 8
   Count bad pixels. Find out what the acceptable level of bad pixels the manufacturer has set. Bad pixels are pixels that don't turn or or are stuck at one color. A small percentage of monitors have bad pixels when they are manufactured but throwing these monitors out would be costly so manufacturers set an acceptable level of bad pixels.
   

Select The MonitorTFT For Gaming

You have probably heard it before, but it bears repeating...the best way to know if a monitor is right for you is to view it in person. Specs are a great tool for narrowing down your choices, but they are no replacement for hands-on experience. Plenty of large resellers stock a wide range of monitors and some are on display. Go down to every shop you can and see if you can find the monitor you are thinking of buying. You never know, that slightly low spec one you shunned in favour of that extra inch of screen may beat everything else hands down in ‘real world’ performance.
The Minor Issues
Dot Pitch/Pixel Size
Dot pitch is the distance between phosphor dots (sub-pixels) or between TFT LCD cells of the same color on a display screen. A smaller number generally means that the image on the screen is sharper, as there are more dots in any given area.
A display with a smaller dot pitch is usually better, but this is not always true because of the methods used to measure it. There are many methods of measurement as well as differing pixel geometries on the screen and differing screen resolutions when judging image quality on the display.
Most of the time, dot pitch is measured on the diagonal, this gives the most accurate representation of dot pitch of the display. Later some companies introduced a horizontal dot pitch measurement. By measuring only the horizontal dot pitch and not the vertical, cheap, low-quality displays can appear to have a smaller dot pitch.
For example, a display with a 0.28mm (diagonal) dot pitch has a horizontal pitch of 0.24 or 0.25mm depending on some monitor construction variables, a good quality 0.26mm (diagonal) display has a horizontal pitch of 0.22mm.
Be careful not to get the two different measurements confused as that 0.26mm dot pitch monitor may have more dots per millimeter than the 0.24mm dot pitch display.
Contrast and Brightness
Contrast is the ability for the monitor to vary brightness between the foreground and the backgound. It is expressed in a ratio ( i.e. 500:1). Typically the higher the ratio, the better the image quality will be as the display will be able to show bright colors next to dark without washing out the black or dulling the colors. Display brightness is expressed in candela (cd) and is defined formally as:
Phew, what this means to us it that the greater this number, the brighter the display is capable of being. However, you must watch the power consumption of the unit. A display that has a very high brightness level will consume more power than others with a lower value. The old adage, "a light that burns twice as bright lasts half as long" sort of applies here. So a trade off between brightness and power consumption is something to watch.
Viewing Angle
CRT monitors are viewable from almost any angle. That is to say if your view is not blocked by the curve of the screen or the surrounding plastic frame. TFT LCD’s have a narrow focus and therefore can only be viewed from inside a certain arc of angles. As the technology improves, this arc is being improved. This should not have any affect on the primary user of the PC, as they should sit facing the display. But if you like to have bystanders watching you achieve the ultimate score on puzzle bobble or you are trying to show off to your girlfriend your best trick in Tony Hawk’s pro skater, then you may have some issues (and they also might not be able to see the monitor ;-)
Analog vs. Digital connectors
More and more graphics cards are coming equipped with DVI connectors. But should you get a display with a DVI connector, and analog connector, or one of each?
The advantage of a DVI connection over the analog is that the DVI connection allows for lossless transmission from the computer to the display. Signal noise, for instance, should not be a concern with the DVI connection (no more hum bars on the monitor when the vacuum is being used). It also provides support for much higher data rates which are needed for the larger diplays (such as cinema screen size displays). Currently, no other advantages of the DVI connection specification are being exploited. If you would like to know more on this subject go to the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) who developed the specification.
What To Look For When Buying
As mentioned earlier, Response Times are the primary concern of any TFT LCD screen. Viewsonic is advertising their VP201s monitors as having Response Times (Pixel Response, Video Response) that are fast enough to present "Realistic, artifact-free 3-D gaming." These monitors have a "blistering 16 millisecond (16ms) Response time." Hitachi also advertises their CML174B and CML 175B LCD monitors with Response Times of 16ms "enabling smoother computer video, animation and gaming movement." Samsung goes one step better with their 172X LCD monitor that sports an amazing 12ms Response Time.
Next, be sure to select a screen that has a native resolution that meets your needs. That is to say, if your system can only play games at 800x600 then buying a 2048x1536 monster display won’t give you any advantage and will almost certainly do more to hinder your game playing and your enjoyment of it.
Check the dot pitch measurement and make sure you are comparing like-for-like if you are looking at more than one display, especially from different manufacturers.
High contrast and high brightness, but low power comsuption is a very good combination because this will give you impressive visuals and your display will hopefully last longer.
Other, smaller, concerns (like the price) I will leave to personal preference. A TFT LCD that satisfies all of these criteria will hopefully do justice to your game visuals and give you the gaming experience that you desire.

Choose Ur Best LCDs

Picking the right LCD TV for you depends on several factors - price and size being the two most important. LCD televisions can be tricky to figure out, but once you get used to some of the terminology as you shop you'll become more familiar with the different brands and size ranges. Choosing a size for your home first and foremost has to do with space - how much space do you have available and how big a screen do you want?
The first thing you should do is take some measurements of the area where the TV will be located. These numbers will help you determine the size of screen that's right for you. Consider what seating and furniture setup will work best for viewers of the LCD television. If you like where your furniture is now, leave it as is and think about screen size according to the current configuration. If you want to make changes, now is the best time to do so - before you select and bring home the TV.
Measure the distance from the viewing and seating area to the place you want to put the LCD television. 35-inch or smaller LCD TVs should be placed 10 feet away, while anything larger needs a longer viewing distance. For instance, a 60-inch television requires a distance of 15-20 feet.
The angle of viewing is also an important consideration. Certain models provide better viewing angles than others. What exactly is an LCD TV viewing angle? Simply, it's the angle the television can be viewed from the side before the quality of the picture starts to degrade.
When looking at televisions in the store, focus on the television under consideration, and inspect for picture quality. Does it produce the quality of picture you desire? Is the screen size what you're looking for? The best size of LCD screen is easier to determine if you stop comparing to the other models in the store and concentrate on the models you want to buy.
It's best to purchase an LCD with an anti-glare coating if light reflection from outside is something you have to worry about, although a lot of light can still cause some glare, no matter what model you choose. Keep this in mind when setting up the room in your house that is going to contain the television.
When selecting an LCD TV the question of HDTV also comes up. If enjoying HDTV entertainment is important to you, than you have to purchase an LCD with HDTV capabilities. Prices differ depending on the brand and size, so do some research before you make a final decision.
Sharp and Samsung are two of the main competitors in LCD TVs. Whether you buy a Sharp or a Samsung doesn't really matter - as long as you find a television that fits your specifications, you should be able to find something that works well for you. Cheap LCDs can be found at discount stores, although generally purchasing this kind of electronic is not a cheap endeavor. That said, you can find some deals if you wait patiently for sales, or look for refurbished models.

Choose Your Best Pc

How to select a computer definition - computer

The primary decision criteria for selecting a personal computer are:


1. PC, Mac or Linux
2. Ergonomics
3. Desktop or Laptop
4. Where to buy

PC, Mac or Linux?

The first decision is whether to purchase a Windows PC, a Macintosh or a Linux machine. It is estimated that Windows has approximately 92% of the desktop market; Mac has 5% and Linux 3%.

The single advantage of the Windows world is the huge number of PC vendors and software applications to choose from. You can buy a PC from big companies such as Dell, HP, IBM and Gateway as well as from countless small dealers.

For the Macintosh, software is available that may very well satisfy all your requirements. Apple continues to be a player due to its innovative technology and fiercely loyal customer base. The two primary drawbacks of the Mac are (1) new applications are designed for Windows first, and maybe for the Mac later, and (2) there may be difficulty if you have to swap certain kinds of data back and forth between Windows users. Compatibility problems are often easily solved; nevertheless, it may be an issue if you plan on using your Mac in a Windows environment.

A Linux PC is a standard PC running the Linux operating system. Although all primary applications are available for Linux, as of 2007 there is no comparison to Windows or Mac in number of titles. Linux desktops are aimed at two ends of the market: the knowledgeable IT professional and the home user with limited funds. While this may sound contradictory, installing Linux requires supporting a Unix environment. This appeals to both individuals and organizations who have the required technical skills and choose to not run Windows.

On the other hand, the Linux-based Linspire operating system (formerly Lindows) is aimed at complete novices and is installed with basic applications on several low-cost, off-the-shelf machines (see Linspire).
