    Monitors Gaming Monitor [23"/24"], Suggestions please

    16:10 vs 16:9 doesn't really matter for gaming. The display resolution will differ. The 16:9 format is best suited for movies/entertainment, while the 16:10 supports a broader range of applications. Serious gamers would prefer a 16:10 panel. Also good for working with documents and stuff...

    PC Peripherals Avoid APC products

    Sorry to hear that. Too many power fluctuations in your area? Is it connected to a separate/external power source? I've been using APC UPSes for years now and except for a twitchy power button (unit was replaced), I never really had any problems with it. Currently on a 1KVA UPS from APC.

    Android Samsung Galaxy S2 Jelly Bean Update

    Just a FYI. The Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) received the Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean - second release) OTA update a few weeks back. The improvements (visually and performance wise) are vastly noticeable and makes the S2 a great buy at its current price. The S2 does have decent hardware and...

    My Red Stallion

    Nice ride! Congrats! Looks like you've got all the accessories covered. As a newbie to biking, I would recommend having fun in moderation. Given the bike's excellent flickability and its torquey engine, you will often be tempted to ride hard but do so cautiously and only to an extent where...

    Recommend an ADSL + Wifi router :)

    I think you should get the standard ADSL+Wifi Router (or just the modem) from a reliable ISP like Airtel and hook that up to a second (dedicated) Wireless Router or repeater for extended range. That's the setup I have at home and Airtel's ADSL+Wifi Router has been going strong for many years...

    Monitors Gaming Monitor [23"/24"], Suggestions please

    I suggest looking up the options locally available and posting them here for feedback. Dealers might not stock all brands/models. I've been using Dell monitors for years now and think they do well for most purposes. Currently own a 22" and 24" from Dell. They also offer the UltraSharp line of...

    Need Suggestion to Buy Window AC

    Hitachi would be an easy pick here. Reliable, cools effectively, good A.S.S. Also recommended by most AC technicians. Not sure if Godrej still makes rock-solid ACs (cost cutting over time?) because I use a 12yr old Godrej 1.0 Windows AC which refuses to give up :p Cools really well, component...

    The NEW Start Menu for Windows 8 is here!

    Hi Violax, I've been using it for a few weeks now and I haven't experienced any lag. When exactly does it lag? When you arrive at the desktop and launch SMR for the first time? Your system specs please? Thanks

    The NEW Start Menu for Windows 8 is here!

    @asingh, bssunil, honest1 There is some lag (2-4 secs) when the app runs on initial start up. This is because the app needs to load your customized tiles and shortcuts. The load time varies on the specs and media of your PC. SSD based PCs should see little to no lag on startup. Definitely...

    The NEW Start Menu for Windows 8 is here!

    Hi guys, Yes, there are a few other alternatives and yes it's not news from Microsoft. However, Start Menu Reviver aims to be different from the what's available now. It "enhances" the start menu experience on your Windows Desktop as opposed to merely offering you a basic start menu. With...

    Car & Bike Suggest Bike : Max. 1L

    Good suggestions there, mach9. @OP I had a similar budget (a little flexible) when I was recently in the market for a new motorcycle. The Fazer, R15, Duke 200, CBR150RR were top on my list. Preferred the International brands to the Indian ones this time round. Let's just say my previous...

    Need A/C Suggestions

    @OP Both the brands you've specified make good ACs. More so with Daikin. The Daikin inverter ACs are really good and are subsequently more expensive than the rest (42K+). The benefits of an inverter AC are pretty obvious. On the other hand, I have a basic Panasonic Split AC (non-inverter) in...

    PC Peripherals Need Fans for a Zebronics Bijli cabinet

    I think the CoolerMaster fans will fit right into your budget. They have a couple of variants (CFM/Design etc.) to choose from too. I recall purchasing a few for my old Bijli cabinet. Pretty decent.

    PC Peripherals Good photo printer for home use

    Definitely one of the two: Canon Selphy or Epson PictureMate The latter will be a little cheaper to run considering cartridge costs.

    The Motorola Defy Thread

    I'm not the best person to answer that I'm afraid. This was my first go at rooting and flashing a new OS. Went from Froyo 2.2 to JB 4.1.1! :)
