Screenshot won't help since it's a monitor thing, not videocard. I tried to take photo of the monitor but it doesn't show up there. It is a really faint jiggling/fuzziness of sharp contrast page elements that are near such background. Like word "sarcasm" next to the checkbox when writing comments has vertical fuzziness.
It is kinda similar to when you connect some LCD monitors with VGA cable their menus have options like "pixel clock" and "phase"...Except I use DVI and can't adjust those.

SOLID upvote. but i still don't approve of anything EA does. except this.

i don't need motion blur, i have enough of that from my crappy LCD monitor

charlie, nah, its a bad fps. The videos FPS is pretty good...atleast 20+ if not very close to 30. There is smooth hand shake without tearing. If we had any synch issues with the lcd monitor then we would be seeing torn frames on the monitor. For the most part however LCD camera captures have very little frame defects, only poor image quality overall.

What sucks is this probably made it impossible for him to spot the question SS viewers probably wanted answered. That is, the physics of the player as they translate through portals. Speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out. Most people would agree that a hand held gun that can paste wormholes onto walls is pure scifi, and couldn't happen to us in a thousand years. But instead lets imagine that portal wormholes exhist, how accurate is portal 2's experience to how they would react in real life.

The whole feedback thing was really interesting though, the reason we can see through the portals is because light radiation is streaming through the portal to our eyes. If you stuck a portal infront of you and then a portal behind you, light radiation would stream in and out of the portals into an infinite feedback loop causing catastrophic energy output.

Started tripping out once I realized I was watching this excellent explanation take place on my LCD monitor. METAAAAAAAAAAAA

I'm guessing the cat destroyed his LCD monitor and now he's stuck with an old CRT.


CRT FTW!

I remember absolutely loving this screensaver back in the day. I think I bought it at Sam's Club for something ridiculous like $35. What were we thinking???


I still love screen savers! I still use them too even though they don't help my LCD monitors. I do love watching funny, pretty, etc. I have 24, Matrix, fish tanks, DNA, etc.

1. I'm an Atheist Jew, and that is not an oxymoron.

2. I lived in Corvallis, Oregon for about 2 years when I was 3 years old. I don't remember speaking English at the time, but the language came very naturally to me in school and I still have a somewhat American accent. I even catch myself thinking in English when speaking Hebrew.

3. In grade school I used to read ahead of the class and interrupt the teachers with questions so much that the school wanted to transfer me to a special (retarded) class. My mother insisted on a psychological evaluation that determined I was bored.

4. I'm addicted to an online game that takes almost all of my free time (guess which). I've quit and relapsed three times already. I'm also becoming addicted to an online video sharing community, but that's neither as time-consuming nor a problem IMO.

5. I lost touch with almost all of my high-school friends other than two. Other than family, those are the only people I talk to.

6. I have never finished anything that I wasn't forced to finish in my entire life. This includes university studies, projects at work and silly things like cleaning up my own apartment.

7. I am constantly tired. Have been since I can remember. After 3 cups of coffee I feel like a curtain that covers my eyes normally is gone.

8. I have no sense of self worth. That is to say, I believe that I am less than every other person, whether I know them or not. It makes me very persuadable and very vulnerable to criticism, which I usually take very personally, even if it's not meant that way.

9. I berate myself all the time. I'm doing it right now, telling myself to stop writing this pathetic post about what a pathetic person I am (considering how my imaginary problems are dwarfed by the post above mine).

10. I went to a therapy session once, but was very uncooperative.

11. I can't tell anybody else pretty much all of what I've written here already. The only reason I can do it here is because what's staring back at me is a LCD monitor.

12. I think about ending my life pretty much constantly. It's usually strongest before I go to sleep. It's been like this since I was 16 or so. I have never attempted suicide, I'm not suicidal as far as I know, and this isn't a cry for help.

13. I have never taken any kind of drug, aside for antibiotics and other common medicine. As far as I know, I've never been high.

14. I was in a scooter vs. scooter accident exactly three months ago. The other guy ran a red light and smashed into my vehicle at about 50 mph. I walked away with a slight pain in my right hand, he had several injuries as a result. In a related note, I also own a car now, and am attempting to sell my scooter.

15. I work as the sole IT guy for a tiny web hosting / site building company. It's barely enough work to keep me occupied during the day.

16. I have an American private pilot license from 2006 (single engine land). I haven't flown since, but that's because of the nature of recreational flight in Israel.

17. I am afraid of heights. Happens when I rappel or stand on high places without a safety rail. Doesn't affect me at all when flying.

18. I commonly engage in software/music/video piracy, but as a leecher, not a seeder.

19. I think about relocating to a different country a lot, but it's closer to my random thing #12 than it is an actual desire to move.

20. I am one of those people that ruin the movie-going experience for other people. I constantly find silly things wrong with movies or tv shows and point them out. I do this in a very hypocritical way, since I ignore such flaws in movies I like.

21. I suspect I have hypothyroidism, but my blood tests disagree.

22. I have no items that I would miss specifically if I had to part with them suddenly.

23. I wake up with two separate alarms, both on the other side of the room to force me to get out of bed to turn them off, but I still go back to sleep most of the time and end up being late for work. I sometimes even have no memory of turning off either alarm.

24. I have never been in a fight.

25. My favorite food is a pizza with green olives.

lol.

One thing though, the image is at 1024x768. Who has a LCD monitor shitty enough that it runs at that resolution? I tried resizing with Irfanview (the only picture viewer worth two shits. The basic XP viewer blows in comparison,) but then it's so pixalated you can tell it's fake immediately.

Fair enough, but I hope you at least understand the point I was trying to make.

It reminds me that I should finish reading Moby Dick. Well, by read, I mean that I should judge the quality of the paper and binding used to make the copy I'm reading. I'll get to the content of the book later.
The texturing is a significant part of the video content. I think your analogy is flawed. Complaining about the paper and binding of Moby Dick would be like complaining about the compression codec or your LCD monitor. Complaining about the texturing and the transitions would be like complaining about the spelling, grammar, clarity, realism or flow of a novel. All valid complaints.

But, I think I'm wrong (once again)


From Some Dirty Fucking Hippie Website (cross posted from Digg):

"What about LCD monitors? I keep hearing that is makes no difference what color they display, or that they even use more energy displaying black over white.
Answer: Another big misconception. LCD monitors have a light behind the screen that is always on, so white is usually the most efficient color to produce; you just let the light shine through. Black on the hand requires the light to be completely blocked, and this takes energy. So, on the face of it, white would always be cheaper than black to create on LCD screens. Turns out this is mostly true, and on average, takes less than a watt of energy to do.

But there more, because some clever LCD manufacturers check how dark the screen is, and if it's very dark they dim the backlight; this saves energy. The Roberson study found this was true for every LCD monitor, Techlogg found it was primarily true for monitors over 24 inches wide. This doesn't save much energy, tops 4 watts, but it does save some. So, LCD technology has changed over time, and it is true that the differential between displaying white and black is much tighter than CRT monitors, a few watts at most."

I saw a guy destroy his nice LCD monitor by punching it after someone killed him in Counter-Strike. Not everyone thinks clearly when they are upset.

In this video the mother's reaction seems out of line given this solitary situation, but there may be a lot of history involved in the relationship that would make the situation seem a little more reasonable. I probably would have just taken it away, but at the same time the destruction did send a pretty strong message of "I payed for this computer and you are not going to dictate how it is used."

It may be fake, but at the same time I have known people who really do act like that. My wife's ex-boyfriend, for instance, has destroyed three expensive cell phones by throwing them into walls because of dropped calls.

Well, I come to VS daily from work and home. The thumbnail almost looks like porn (I know it isn't in the bigger shot). I just don't want co-workers and bosses to get the wrong idea when they glance by my cubicle (short walls and 21" LCD monitor heh -- sucky) during my late lunch hour. And I noticed there are a LOT of videos in this collective lately.

Since it looks like the image won't be blocked/removed/changed, is there a way NOT to show this collective/image at all?

This is an old video, for one notice the very small monitors...usually everything today is nice big LCD monitors...even at the small shops. But that's not the big thing that dates this, but the software. That's SoftImage they're using there...which has been updated many times and is called XSI now.

XSI still is a very nice package to work with. Very elegant UI.
