LED light bulbs are a bit different than the system that they use for computer displays but there are very good led light bulbs available from companies like CCrane Company that are more costly but don't have the early dimout problems.
The thing that annoyed me most with CRT displays was the fact that, with some of them, the vertical refresh rate could not be increased beyone 60Hz to which I was very sensitive. It would give me a headache after about 30 minutes and I'd have to shut it off for awhile. Same with CRT TV sets which I had to give up as well as the old flicker-caused headaches would return even faster! When I had units that I could raise to 85 Hz, it was no problem just as LCD HD TVs also do not do. But I still don't own a TV because the vast majority of what is on it is rather sparse in intellectual stimulation to say the least! My WIN7 boots up in about 10 seconds but it takes longer for Ubuntu 11 to boot but I suspect that it is because it is a dual boot setup in the WIN7 system. Am I correct? If I had Ubuntu ONLY on it, things might be different? I'd like to know what you and other group members are experiencing in this regard. And how do you set Linux to single click? I've always preferred that and set my past Windows OSes to do it for as far back as I can remember.

LEDs have a long life before they're completely dead but I hear a lot of folks complaining about the LED light bulbs getting dim pretty quickly. I just hope the issue doesn't spill over into monitors. But yeah I laugh when I hear about people that spent all kinds of money on a "fast" computer and they're squinting at a tiny screen or something trying to enjoy it. hehe Really when you're looking at a computer about all you're seeing is the screen! Look how fast Linux can be made to run on even an old 1GHz P3 http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/2250/wedoct27bootchart.png 16 seconds is a boot time that Windows weenies could only dream about even on the fastest of PCs. That machine stock was 21 seconds. My i3 comes up in 5 seconds and a few thousandths stock. Needless to say I didn't even bother investing any time configuring it to improve its performance any. Though someday for laughs I just might :) On that machine I have it set for a single click to launch applications and things are on the screen before the mouse button is completely released. I have to say it took a little getting used to. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
