| 863318 | 2010-03-04 00:01:00 | I'm testing a cPVA panel atm: www.playtech.co.nz Excellent viewing angles. Excellent contrast/blacks. 100% sRGB colour space. Supposed to have ultra low processing lag too but haven't got around to personally testing that, yet. VERY frigging nice screen considering it's only ~$100 more than a decent TN panel. Only downside is 8ms response time - I know this rating doesn't mean much on paper but in actual use it does translate to noticable ghosting. |

| 863319 | 2010-03-04 02:08:00 | Its actually the complete opposite... Graphics and video editing programs, as they are not DirectX or OpenGL dependent, have little benefit from discrete video cards. Integrated graphics + $400 CPU is faster than $200 graphics card + $200 CPU when it comes to video e No longer true. NV,ATI GPU can now be used in video editing -offload from CPU to GPU (encoding/decoding) and this will become more common as the year progresses. |

NV,ATI GPU can now be used in video editing -offload from CPU to GPU (encoding/decoding) and this will become more common as the year progresses. Yes, you can use the GPU to encode videos. But if you have seen the results, CPU still gives better quality at the same bitrate. For me, quality trumps the time required everytime. You only encode once, but the resulting video file is watched many times. |
