  Posted on Monday August 3rd, 2009 at 10:00 in hardware, display, image, tweak, monitor, tft

  Over years I had moved from CRT display to dual-monitor and finally to TFT alone. I got used to things looking slightly different. Since I neither work or play with graphics much, it was ok to stick with budget monitors and skip precise tweaks. Until...

  Posted on Tuesday December 2nd, 2008 at 10:00 in Software, freeware, performance, sysinternals, monitor, process explorer

  Some of my posts have prerequisites. I walk home thinking I should definitely blog about that cool (honestly) troubleshooting session and realize that some previous posts to describe tool needed are missing. Process Explorer is tool so powerful and s...
