Flat Screen Computer Monitors

New things often push aside older products. Flat-screen computer monitors have become the most sought-after display units due to their attractive flat panel feature. Their unique structure, combined with their performance, has made them popular across the globe.

CRT display panels or monitors are big, space-consuming things. Their old-fashioned cabinets are around twenty inches deep, and they occupy more space than their flat-screen competitors. The liquid crystals and transistors do all the work in a flat-screen monitor, which minimizes the need for a big case. Hence, when space is at a premium, the CRT monitor is bound to lose out to the flat-screen monitor.

Flat monitors can also serve as a replacement for your regular television. Although you can watch TV using your old CRT, you will have to install a TV tuner video card, and even then the quality of the picture is not that great. Besides, it can … Read the rest

External Sound Cards

External sound cards pretty much work in the same principle as your internal audio card or the one that’s on the motherboard. They are capable of producing audio from the data transmitted by the processor. The only difference is they are mobile. An external audio card just needs to be connected via a USB cable for it to work.

An external audio card would come in handy when you want to have better audio quality for your laptop but space and temperature conditions doesn’t allow high-end internal sound cards. The good thing about getting a separate audio card is that this one is mobile. You can transfer it to another computer. Just make sure that you get one that has a plug and play functionality.

Just like with your internal sound card, you need to assess what you use the computer for before getting an external sound card. Usually, this … Read the rest

Building Computers

You can save the thirty percent or more that custom shops charge for labor by building your own gaming rig. It can easily mean $300 that stays in your pocket to be used later for games, a better monitor, or whatever you want.

Is it hard to build a gamer?

The answer is “no”. Often, I’ve told people “There are only eleven major parts in a computer. Most of them snap together, or plug in. If you can connect just eleven items, then you can build a computer.”

Of course, a gamer does have differences from a general purpose computer. That’s what makes it a gamer. But does that make it harder to build?

Let’s say you want to build a Crossfire system with two graphics cards. It isn’t any harder to plug two graphics cards into their slots than to install one. Nor is it more difficult to install … Read the rest

Electronics Disposal

Some of the electronics that require special methods to dispose of them include personal computers, batteries, and cell phones. These usually contain materials that are made with toxic chemicals and metals. When any of these toxic substances land up in the landfill and are exposed to moisture, the substances will eventually contaminate the water and soil. Many of the toxic substance have the potential to cause reproductive and endocrine disorders, cancer, and other serious health problems. In many electronic products, the materials in them are not biodegradable so they will not deteriorate over time.

One popular way to dispose of electronics is donating items to different local organizations and charities. Most of them generally welcome these donations of electronic equipment. The electronics donated should be working because many of these charities and organizations will see that they get to people who cannot afford them. If they are not working they … Read the rest

Dual Computer Monitors

All of Microsoft’s and Apple’s operating system versions released these days support the use of dual monitors. Using dual monitors, the user is able to ‘extend’ the display on one desktop onto the second display device. This means that when the different display devices are positioned next to each other, it provides the user with the illusion of being logically contiguous.

Depending on one’s luck, setting up dual monitors can be as simple as adding an extra video card and monitor and restarting the computer or turn out to be a task that makes the user want to pull out great tufts of hair in sheer frustration.

The first thing that will have to be done is the installation of a second video card, the one that is meant to support the extra monitor. This requires the computer’s motherboard to have an extra expansion slot, the availability of which can … Read the rest

Find Free Electronic Books

Before we start to look at where to find free electronic books, we need to take a look at a few different considerations; which ebooks are free, and the different electronic book formats.

To be realistic, when you are looking for free electronic books, you are not going to find the latest best sellers, such as, The Girl with the Tattoo Dragon or Harry Potter. To legally download an electronic book it must be identified as being in the public domain or be specifically identified as non-commercial. This means that a majority of the ebooks that you will find are often classics, like “Pride and Prejudice” or up-and-coming authors who are looking for exposure by distributing free ebooks.

There are dozen of electronic book formats, but the most popular include the ePub format and the Amazon formats. The Apple iPad, Barnes & Noble’s Nook, the Sony Readers, and the Kobo … Read the rest

OLED

OLED (Organic.Light.Emitting.Diode) is a new display technology that promises to deliver thin, power efficient and bright displays. OLEDs (already popular in MP3 players and cell phones) have amazing potential – thin TVs, flexible displays, transparent monitors, white-bulb replacement, and more.

LCD works by having a backlight (white light) source, and then filtering this source to make colors. OLEDs however work by emitting color light. This has several advantages. It allows to make simpler and thus thinner and cheaper displays. It also means that OLEDs require less power. Think that when you have a screen that is completely black (but turned on), LCD will still require the whole white backlight to be emitted. With OLEDs, no energy is consumed in this stage! It is also possible to make flexible OLED displays, and even transparent ones, but this is obviously more challenging than a simple LCD-like display.

While OLEDs are heralded as … Read the rest

Computer Printer Ink

The cost of computer printer ink cartridges for cheap printers can be expensive over the long term. For instance, if the black cartridge is not separate from the other colors, you may need to buy an entire unit once your black has been used up. In the printer ink industry, this phenomenon is called consumables. Another thing that you will want to look at is the quality of the resolution. When you look at the resolution quality of ink, it is important to place an emphasis on the text instead of the graphics. The graphics will almost always appear higher in quality than the text. When you are looking at a printer model, you can compare it to other models by having them print out sample images.

Purchasing a high quality paper that is coated will enhance the look of your computer ink. These coated pieces of paper will not … Read the rest

How Can Sell Electronics

Not everyone thinks that selling their used electronics is for them. Most people don’t bother to sell electronics for one of three reasons; their electronics are broken, and they don’t think anyone will want them. They think trying to sell electronics would be too much work. They don’t think they’ll get enough money to make selling their devices worthwhile.

The thing about broken electronics is that, no matter how broken they are, they probably still have some functioning parts. It’s true that the average person on the street probably wouldn’t jump at the chance to buy a broken laptop or worn-out cell phone, but a used electronics dealer would. This is because a dealer can repair your electronics, or use them for parts to repair other devices. So, if you choose to sell electronics to a used electronics dealer, you’ll still be able to get a decent price, even if … Read the rest
