    D200 Battery Grip MB-D200 acting weird

    Well, the worn out effect does not seem to show during the discharge tests and voltage. In comparison, my older Sanyo 2100 which is even older is pumping out only 1500 mha worth and only 1.24V - only used them in torches, lighting, amps etc It just bugs me that my 2 set of Powerex which i've...

    D200 Battery Grip MB-D200 acting weird

    Recently, my grip's giving the dreaded 1power bar , low batt situation. So, I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what's the solution , if any ? 1. My 2 sets of rather old (2 yr) Powerex 2700 are the ones that would not work 2. Original ENEL3E batt works fine in the grip and...

    Dell 27 inch monitor users, please help

    30" at last , i'm still twiddling my thumb waiting for the $ to drop ;p 1. Don't have to check video cards these days as practically all are duallink. 2. Probably have to worry more about Dell shipping a single link cable then anything. (Seriously, i've seen more than 4 cases so) 3. If the...

    Dell 27 inch monitor users, please help

    Unfortunately, yes, it is a normal technical limitation of the typical PVA panel. Look on the bright side, you bought a (the only?) designed-in-Singapore LCD. You can try sitting farther back and see how far is the distance before the falloff becomes unnoticeable...

    Dell 27 inch monitor users, please help

    It's strange that I did not see this thread at all earlier... Having skimmed thru the last pages, I'm a little surprised at the suggestions given... So, I'll just touch on the facts and my perception. 1. The Apple series of monitors are used by many graphical artists. Hence, it may be taken...
