Tried pulling it apart?

Nah not yet. Will give that a go over the weekend. Currently trolling the forum for reg threads.

I just bought a kick arse 27 inch LED monitor. It has a VGA port and two HDMI ports but no DVI port.

My desktop has a DVI port and a VGA port but no HDMI ports.

Apparently DisplayPort is the new standard. Neither the monitor or the desktop has such a port.


Life is becoming increasingly hard for pensioners.

I have a colour TV that only has "ant-in."

You think you have problems.

Further to my regulator dying, it also managed to leak an almost full bottle of gas out. A new reg and more gas for the win.

I couldn't get my AppleTV device to connect to my Optoma HD DLP projector via my Pioneer AV receiver, because the HDMI coming from my Apple TV device couldn't downscale to component, which is how my Optoma HD DLP projector is connected to my Pioneer AV receiver.

So I had to buy an HDMI>Component converter FFS.

Fortunately, my Panasonic LCD HDTV upstairs, has an HDMI port and I didn't have the same issues with it.

Unfortunately, because I've got the Apple TV device operating properly, it means that my Panasonic BLURAY recorder is now only used to watch tv shows that I've recorded and about 1500 songs that I've recorded off Rage, but not BluRay discs that I used to hire from the video store.

Talk about opening a can of worms.........

What is with TV programming?
Triple the number of channels, halve the watchable shows.

Wasn't "quantum of solace" on a month ago?

Grumpy old man showing through....aaaagh!

FWP: switching from rugby union in high definition to rugby league in standard definition, and it's disappointing.

And also, having to watch any kind of Australian football.
