A $1.5 million city loan for a local theater group that has been in default for more than two years will be cut in half and forgiven as long as the troupe continues to perform for eight years, according to a bill that got initial approval from the Denver City Council on Monday.
Su Teatro — a 40-year-old theater group and one of the only Latino theaters in the country — hasn't paid on the 15-year, zero-interest loan with $3,630 monthly payments since May 1, 2010.
The federal Housing and Urban Development loan approved and administered by the city in 2007 allowed the theater group to buy a piece of property on South Santa Fe Drive that had been a salvage yard. The theater group had wanted to build a cultural center, but the economy crashed and the theater group couldn't raise the expected $3.5 million to construct the center.
Now, the city's Office of Economic Development has worked out a deal that will save the theater troupe and reactivate the abandoned property.
The agreement that faces final approval from the council Monday transfers the deed for the property to the city, which will immediately sell it for the market value of $770,000 to the group that owns Stranahan's Whiskey for undisclosed purposes.
The remaining $780,000 that Su Teatro still owes on the original loan will become a lien against the organization for eight years but will be forgiven if the nonprofit continues "to provide the type of community service that it has for the last 40 years," said Paul Washington, director of Denver's Office of Economic Development.
Technically, it will be a performance loan, requiring that Su Teatro continue to use the Civic Theatre as a nonprofit community facility, provide "substantially similar public benefits" to those being provided today and submit annual reports, according to the bill before the City Council.
"We could have played hardball and called our loan," Washington said. "But Su Teatro would be forced into financial turmoil. We could lose that public benefit and cause a historic nonprofit to face some extraordinary adversity."
In 2009, the group abandoned the idea for a cultural center and followed the urging of then-Mayor John Hickenlooper, who wanted the theater troupe to move into the former Denver Civic Theatre farther down the road on Santa Fe Drive.
The group bought that 15,000-square-foot building and its 300-seat theater but left the property at 215 S. Santa Fe in limbo.
"So basically, as long as they do their thing for eight years, the taxpayers eat it," said Councilwoman Jeanne Faatz, who voted against the measure that will come up for a final vote Monday.
"People who borrow money should have to pay it back," Faatz said at a committee meeting this month. "This falls into the special-deal-for-special-folks category. That is what concerns me."
The measure passed on an initial vote with nine "yes" votes, one "no" and two council members who abstained.
In January, the city said 91 of its loans were in various stages of arrears. At the beginning of the year, the city had a 15.5 percent loan-default rate. It is now at 9.7 percent, and Washington told the City Council that he hopes to get it to 7.2 percent by the end of the year.
Washington said the city has been able to restructure nearly $9 million worth of loans that had been in default — mostly extending the payment terms or coming up with payment plans that are more appropriate to the cash flow of the borrower.
The city has been in negotiations with Su Teatro for several months on this loan, which Washington said have been "very extensive, protracted and sometimes heated."
"We came to a joint decision that this is a nonprofit that is essential to the community and simply cannot afford to pay the loan back," Washington said in a committee meeting.
"We came to the mutual understanding that this protects the city's interests and extends the period of time for public service, allowing the nonprofit to continue," he said.
Councilwoman Judy Mon-tero said the lien will be a hardship for the theater company as it tries to get money to make required maintenance fixes.
Su Teatro director Anthony Garcia told the council committee that the plan was to build a cultural center but the group couldn't have picked a worse time to fundraise.
"What happened is we tried to do it in one of the worst economies," Garcia said. "This is something that has been hanging over our heads."
The most recent financial documents from the nonprofit showed that in 2010, the group brought in $596,601 in revenue — $361,385 of which was listed as gifts and grants on the federal disclosure form.
In 2009, the group earned $841,102, which included $546,914 in gifts and grants.
But revenue from admissions, tour income and workshops and lectures has improved, growing to nearly $90,000 in 2010 compared with nearly $72,000 in 2009.

Today is 8 months since my husband of nearly 37 years lost his battle with cholangiocarcinoma. There are days when I think I won't survive. This is one of them. Grief is definitely not for the weak!
Hi Gigi,
I'm sorry you're feeling so bad today. I've had those days too. My husband of 23 years passed away almost 5 months ago and sometimes I think it's getting harder. My sister told me today she thinks I have a "low-grade" depression going on. No doubt about it! I don't seem to care much about anything these days. Here's hoping it gets easier for both of us as time goes on.
Hello Gigi, I just replied on your other post, saw that one first.
Dianne, I am so sorry you are not doing well. Have you thought about getting a little boost from your GP? Just thinking, you DID agree with what your Sister said. Guess I never fully realized how much comfort I get from being a believer. I know that has gotten me to this point. It's 2 1/2 years for me and I just cannot fathom the time has gone that fast. I only had Teddy 16 years and I wish it could have been for centuries but for 16 years I am extremely grateful to have had that kind of love. Try to keep thinking all the good things as you adjust to your "new normal". Don't know if you saw this but I wrote it a couple of months after T passed.
How Are You Doing?
Everyone asks me how I'm doing since you went away,
With a smile on my face I answer, "I really am okay".
Matter of fact its very hard but I promised to be strong,
Until the time we meet again, in your arms where I belong.
In the morning when I wake, once where there was warmth all night,
There's nothing but an empty space and a pillow to hold tight.
Our closet now holds all my clothes it still looks kind of strange,
I try to make it look like more and constantly rearrange.
When I'm in the kitchen and working at the sink,
Many times I stop and this is what I think…..
If Teddy was here he'd grab me to give a little cue,
That he was about to hug me and say his, "I love you".
No more are the corny jokes that grew longer by the year,
What I wouldn't give now for just one more, to hear.
When someone calls, your message is still kept on the phone,
That way no one knows I am really home alone.
When day is over and dinner is eaten by one,
No more thank you-s for the meal well done.
Can't find anyone to scratch my back,
There's just a big hole here, a hole of midnight black.
But, how am I doing? I'm doing okay,
I know that you would want it that way.
And I know you are with me morning to night,
Still watching over me, that every things all right!
Hi Again Gigi,
All I can say is that you will come to realize that you are stronger than you think and you will survive. There are days that is hard to believe, but it is true.
I thought the same way, but 5 years later, I am still here and taking it one day at a time.
Thanks for your concern. I really didn't mean to give such a dark impression of my state of being. Some days are fine, but others are quite hard. I think that when a person has a situational depression, the best way to deal with it is to just grieve your way through it and the pain will surely ease up hopefully sooner than later. Of course, if it interferes with a person's functioning normally, then a doctors visit is in order. I'm ok in this regard, just certainly no where near my best. Thanks for the poem, it's lovely. You really are talented.
Dianne, you are so right, it does seem to get harder rather than better. But that will pass! We can do this! They would want us to!
Lainy, beautiful poem!
Darla, I know I am strong and will get through, but sometimes, being strong is exhausting and I just don't want to, you know? But My kids and grandkids need me. So when I'm too tired to be strong, I do it anyway for them.
I will survive!

Because the Internet is a constant stream of amazing, someone – I'm guessing DJ Stolen. Call it a hunch. – just posted a topless/quasi-nude shot of Kesha apparently covered in semen. I say that because of my keen skills of detection that allowed me to see the word "cum" with an arrow next to it. Now, I don't really know if that's semen, or if splooge is safe for work, so I erred on the side of caution and covered it. Sort of like this person did to Ke$ha but without all the shame, regret and confusion that came after. "She just climbed into my window and put a gun to my head until I had unprotected sex with her. I mean, I knew Lady GaGa was crazy, but day-amn."

Goads of the Civil War
In honor and memory of Clemment Quillen Goad.
The Pictures and Records section contains a compiling of gathered information and records in honor of Clemment Quillen Goad, 1 of approximately 140+ Goads that have been compiled that served in the Civil War. The intent was to create a lineage of all the Goads in the Civil War and then establish those battles they may have fought against each other. Five years later it blossomed into 1000+ pages and continues to grow as more information is located. The Memorial Page was a perfect way to share the information gathered with descendants of Clemment Quillen Goad and to honor that soldier.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
A brainstorm is a meeting where you try to find solutions to a problem. They are frequently conducted in groups in order to get a variety of different perspectives and ideas. To have the best chance at getting different perspectives, choose participants with a range of different backgrounds for the brainstorm (i.e. don't pick all engineers to solve an engineering problem).
Every brainstorm should have a moderator whose job it is to write down all the ideas and keep the brainstorm on track. Make sure that everyone can see all the ideas as they are written (use a chalkboard or something similar).
To keep the energy of the meeting high, limit each brainstorm to 30 minutes (even if you don't have a solution by the end of the meeting) and have plenty of cookies, soda, pens, and paper available.

Travel With MOPA
Traveling with MOPA is one method to exploring the universal language of photography, and how it transforms our culture. Members of MOPA's Collecting Groups can indulge in year-round travel opportunities, receiving intimate and engaging access to photography-infused trips. Participants enjoy opportunities to meet world-renowned artists, and delight in behind-the-scenes tours. All the while, they share new ideas and approaches to the medium with other members, photographers, art collectors or simply put "hard-core photo fans".
This past year, members of the Photo Forum went national with two fabulous and exciting trips to San Francisco and New York City. Meanwhile, members of the Collectors' Salon traveled abroad to one of the world's art meccas, experiencing Paris Photo 2010. And most recently, they adventured through Amsterdam and surrounding areas of the Netherlands.
As I reflect on the past year of MOPA travel, I realize the pertinence and value to these opportunities, and how it significantly enriches our members. In essence, travel becomes a powerful tool in exploring and expanding our knowledge of the medium. It reminds me of a quote by W. Eugene Smith, "Never have I found the limits of the photographic potential. Every horizon, upon being reached, reveals another beckoning in the distance. Always, I am on the threshold." Yes indeed - new horizons can always be found, and of course, that includes at MOPA.

Did you know?
The Free State Botanical Gardens there's a petrified tree trunk, estimated between 150 and 300 milion years old.
The Free State Botanical Gardens, located in Bloemfontein, also known as the City of Roses, are dedicated to cultivating and displaying the varied flora of this region. Roses, of course, feature prominently.
These botanical gardens first opened in 1969, and while much of their appeal lies in their floral beauty, these gardens are also of interest to history buffs: the curator's house was built by World War II Italian prisoners of war; the old stone walls were built by British troops during the South African War; and prehistoric pottery relics found in the area are on show in the Education Centre.
But if it's the flora you've come to see, you won't be disappointed. The Free State Botanical Gardens houses over 400 species of plants from the region, including the vibrant red-hot pokers and wild dagga plants for which the province is renowned.
You can see these species and other local flora in the indigenous garden. Other specialised gardens here include the water-wise garden, the medicinal garden, the succulent garden and the bird garden. The latter is a magnet for over 140 bird species.
The Free State Botanical Gardens rest in a woodland valley, framed by hills. Self-guided hiking trails crisscross the landscape and guided tours are also available. There are over 50 species of reptiles in the gardens and almost as many mammal species; look out for them on your wilderness walks.

The films lost in the best documentary to the Swedish/British production "Searching for Sugar Man," ensuring another year without an Israeli film winning the coveted film award.
Emad Burnat, the co-director of 5 Broken Cameras, objected to his film being called Israeli.
Burnat has a point. 5 Broken Cameras is almost entirely his production. He spent years filming the nonviolent protests in his village of Bil'in, where residents struggle with the encroachment of the separation barrier and the calving off of land for Israeli settlements. Burnat had some assistance from Israeli director Guy Davidi, but Burnat did the bulk of the cinematography, contributed the narration, and is the documentary's star. It's his story. And while the film received some government financing, Burnat isn't an Israeli citizen; he's a Palestinian living under Israeli military occupation. (Ajami also received some support from the Israeli government.)
The Academy doesn't distinguish between nationalities for the documentary category, which is why two "Israeli" films can be nominated at once. But they are an important pairing—not the whole story of the occupation, but two essential pieces of it. With patience and steely determination, 5 Broken Cameras leads us through the daily humiliations of attacks from the army and settlers, night raids, the arrests of children, and the difficulty of staying nonviolent amidst an excruciating situation. We see the birth of Burnat's son, Gibreel, and hear some of his first words: the Arabic terms for shells and soldiers.
The Gatekeepers offers unprecedented admissions from six retired heads of Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service, all of whom issue startling critiques of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians. "We are making the lives of millions unbearable," says Carmi Gillon, who also relates his pain at failing to protect Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin from a right-wing Jewish assassin. "Suddenly it becomes a kind of conveyor belt," says Ami Ayalon, about the practice of targeted assassinations. At the end of the movie, he laments, "We win every battle, but we lose the war"—words that highlight the ultimate futility of what one former Shin Bet chief calls "tactics without strategy." All of these men, including the iron-fisted Avraham Shalom, advocate negotiating with enemies, from Hamas to Ahmadinejad.
These films, too, represent a kind of negotiation, one that would have us move beyond antique binaries of victimhood and victory. By nominating 5 Broken Cameras and The Gatekeepers, the Academy is spurring a dialogue that started only after decades of laureled films about European Jewish survival and Israeli might. These are much different movies than Exodus, Schindler's List or Munich. They're about guilt, justice, dignity and the limits of violence; they're about the long hangover of war and the mature demands of statehood. Kathryn Bigelow, who calls herself a "lifelong pacifist" while in the same breath praising the bravery of those prosecuting the war on terror, would do well to watch.

A sheriff's deputy, four deputy jailers and a high school senior were honored by the Grant County Fiscal Court on Jan. 22 for their actions after a man came to the Grant County Detention Center on Dec. 27 carrying a gun, asking to speak to the jailer.
"All too often, people who serve the public only get bad press," Judge-Executive Darrell Link said as presented the individual honors. "Seldom are they recognized for quietly doing their jobs."

A 50-year-old man was caught using disabled parking badge stolen from a pensioner's car.
Akhtar Rashid Aziz, from Tooting, was caught using a blue badge stolen from a disabled 80-year-old living nearby.
Thieves smashed the victim's car window, which was parked outside his home, and snatched the permit.
A few months later council staff spotted Aziz using the badge to park his wife's car for free in Tooting Bec.
When questioned under caution he refused to offer any explanation about how the badge came to be in his possession.
Aziz, of Parklands Road, Furzedown, was sentenced to 150 hours of unpaid community service by magistrates and ordered to pay the council's prosecution costs of £492 plus a victim surcharge of £60.
This was in addition to the £255 he had to pay to get his wife's vehicle back from the car pound after it was towed away.
The fraud team also took action against people who work at St George's Hospital, in Tooting, who were caught cheating the system.
Hospital worker Samantha Taylor, 26, of Meadowsweet Close, Raynes Park, pleaded guilty to five offences of misusing her mother's badge to park while on duty. She was ordered to pay fines and court costs of £520.
Pellegrino Avella, aged 52, of Peterborough Road, Carshalton, pleaded guilty to five offences of misusing his 75-year-old mother's badge while working at the hospital. He was ordered to pay fines and costs of £520.
Repeat offender Pauline Cunningham, of Acacia Road, Mitcham, was convicted of five offences after she was caught using her mother's permit to leave her vehicle all day in a disabled person's parking space while she caught the tube to work. In September last year the 48-year-old was prosecuted for four similar offences. She was fined £1,750 and ordered to pay costs of £541. She also had to pay the £230 tow away fee to get her car back.
Hazel Sharp of Townfield Road, in Feltham, was caught four times using her blind daughter's badge to park all day in Wandsworth. She was ordered to pay fines and costs of £470.
Zahir Chowdhury, of Gibson's Hill, Norbury, pleaded guilty to five offences of misusing his disabled mother's badge to park in Ruislip Street, close to his butcher shop business on Upper Tooting Road. He was ordered to pay fines and costs totalling £870.
Shopworker Khasru Miah, aged 42 of Lynton Avenue, Hendon, was ordered to pay £909 in fines and costs having been found guilty of five offences of misusing his mother's badge to park his car while working in the Southside shopping centre.
Samantha Wainwright, 28, of Trinity Road, Tooting Bec, pleaded guilty to six offences under the Fraud Act for using two different stolen badges. She was ordered to pay fines and court costs totalling £1,126.
Aneta Wieczorek of Robin Hood Lane, Sutton, was ordered to pay fines and costs of £405 for using her father's Polish-issued disabled parking badge to occupy a designated 'disabled' parking bay all day while working at the Southside shopping centre.
The council's transport spokesman Councillor Jonathan Cook said: "Sadly there are lots of people who try to fiddle the system in this way. The blue badge scheme exists to help disabled people get out and about, drive to work, visit friends or go shopping. It was not invented to give their relatives a passport to free parking."
Anyone with information about blue badge misuse can contact the council's team of investigators by emailing email@example.com or calling 020 8 871 6547/7916.

Jennifer Connelly
Jennifer Connelly won an Academy Award as best supporting actress for playing the wife of mathematician John Forbes Nash in A Beautiful Mind (2001, with Russell Crowe as Nash). Connelly was only 15 when she landed her first big role, in Jim Henson's 1986 fantasy feature The Labyrinth (co-starring David Bowie). She grew up to become a voluptuous leading lady in a variety of films, including the sex-tinged drama The Hot Spot (1990), John Hughes's Career Opportunities (1990), the cartoony The Rocketeer (1991, with a villainous Timothy Dalton) and Inventing the Abbots (1997, with Liv Tyler and Billy Crudup). She has also starred in the short-lived TV series The $treet (2000), as Jackson Pollock's mistress in the film Pollock (2000), with Ben Kingsley in The House of Sand and Fog (2003), and as a journalist on the trail of Leonardo DiCaprio's naughty diamond smuggler in Blood Diamond (2006).
Like Jodie Foster, Connelly enrolled in Yale University; Connelly later transferred to Stanford… Connelly married actor Paul Bettany, who also appeared in A Beautiful Mind, in a private ceremony in Scotland in December of 2002.

The Mets released their promotional schedule on Saturday, a moment I always relish. Exactly what free stuff will come to me, simply because I get to watch a baseball game?
This has been a cause close to my heart for many years, dating back to the free Juan Samuel glove I received at Veterans Stadium just before he got traded to the Mets, and while others grow out of caring about such things in their 30s… I'm not that guy. I was led to believe if I wanted to be gainfully employed and convince an attractive woman to raise a family with me, I'd have to give up such childish things. Good news, kids: not even close to true!
As in all things in recent years, the team the Mets are chasing is the Phillies. A number of issues I raised in that column linked to above have been resolved: the Mets now offers the opportunity to customize plans, both six-packs and larger. They let you vary your seat locations as well.
There are some gaps, that remain. The most glaring is that while Phillies promotions are for all fans, the Mets limit the quantities: first 25,000 for the full giveaways, first 5,000 for children. In other words, the Mets create a scenario by which a child who sits in traffic- usually, due to timing problems not of his or her own making, then spends three hours watching everyone else playing with something. That's how you build brand loyalty?
As a whole, though, the Mets are competitive with the Phillies in terms of giveaways and general promotion for the first time I can remember. Let's break it down by month, with useful commentary provided by previously-mentioned attractive wife, who I will be bringing, along with kiddie, as instructed by the song.
APRIL: The Mets get out of the gate strong. Love the texting gloves on April 7 as an idea with a Verizon tie-in; my wife did too, though she did not commit to wearing them. As people who re-use shopping bags, the April 21 promo is useful as well, and I look forward to giving my daughter a Tom Seaver bobblehead along with discussion of his role in Mets history.
I think the Phillies have the Mets beat, but that's partly a result of on-field success. Their Opening Day giveaway- a 2011 pennant- wouldn't mean quite the same thing to Mets fans. The April 11 t-shirt looks really nice, though, and they have multiple schedule magnet giveaways. Add in the Phanatic bank- an equivalent from Mr. Met would be awesome- along with two dollar hot dog nights, and April in Philadelphia looks like the place to be.
ADVANTAGE: Phillies
MAY: Looks like Palmer's didn't return for their cocoa butter giveaway for Mother's Day, and the Mets didn't replace it. The Phillies, by contrast, offer a ladies' scarf on Mother Appreciation Day, along with a nice Liberty Bell hat on May 14 and a collector's truck on May 20. Add in another dollar dog night, and it is a good May at Citizens Bank Park.
But while the Met giveaways in May are limited: retire the damn collector's cup already, in Greg Prince's honor, and give away copies of his book instead, and the nameless drawstring bag is a bit of an unknown- I like the Rusty Staub bobblehead on May 26, and I love the return of Banner Day, long overdue. This was the promotion my wife was most excited about, and wasn't a giveaway at all. That's telling, I think.
ADVANTAGE: Mets
JUNE: Alas, here's where the Phillies really open up a big lead. They start with a Phanatic children's book on June 1. There's a cap giveaway on June 3 for men 15 and older. (All men. Not first 5,000. I get irritated just typing this.) There's a Cliff Lee bobblehead on June 4, a Phillies print on June 23, a Jonathan Papelbon t-shirt on June 24, and not one, but two fireworks nights. Two! The Mets have… two fewer than that.
What do the Mets have in June? A visor on June 2- not really sure who wears visors. A cap on June 3, because no one wants to wear a visor. The undeniably awesome Keith Hernandez bobblehead on June 17. And that weird cap trade promo on June 22-24 against the Yankees, the kind of promo that says, "Sure, we'll grudgingly do something for you, but first, you gotta do something for us." Oh, and it's only the first 5,000 fans.
ADVANTAGE: Phillies, by a ton
JULY: A huge Mets rally, here. The Mets give out mini bats on July 7. (Wife: "We can have mini bats, but they take away our bottle caps?" I guess they fear the choking hazard.) A Mr. Met poster on July 8. An Edgardo Alfonzo bobblehead on July 21. A t-shirt on July 22. A Dunkin' Donuts gift card on July 24. Really solid month, Mets.
And the Phillies take it easy in July. A Phillies print, a Roy Halladay Fathead Jr.- which is a fantastic giveaway, incidentally-and photo day. But when I explained Photo Day to my wife, her eyes grew wide- on the field? Taking pictures with your favorite players? Why don't the Mets do that? I don't know, attractive wife. I don't know.
ADVANTAGE: Mets, but not by as much as it should be
AUGUST: The month is essentially a draw. For the Mets, a travel case on August 11, a tote bag on August 12, and a Mike Piazza bobblehead on August 25. For the Phillies, a Jimmy Rollins cooler bag, a Hunter Pence bobblehead, another dollar dog night. Tie goes to Piazza.
ADVANTAGE: Mets, slightly
SEPTEMBER: This has to be a joke. My wife was aghast: "Maybe it didn't load. I'm going to reload." Nope. The Mets don't have any promotions for September. Not one. By contrast, the Mets gave away both headphones and a green t-shirt last September.
The Phillies? There's a knit hat on September 7, a Cole Hamels action figuring on September 23, and the usual Fan Appreciation Night on September 27. There's another dollar dog night.
ADVANTAGE: Phillies, by September 2007 proportions.
Overall, my wife and I are excited about an array of giveaways this year. The five bobbleheads are huge, the return of Banner Day is going to be epic, and I think the Mr. Met poster is a sneaky-good addition to the haul.
The Mets have made up some ground, but the Phillies still lead, for now. They don't need sponsors for things like Banner Day and Photo Night- fans just want to be closer to the field, the players, the action. Worth remembering, Mets. And that September metaphor isn't one I care to think about.
But baseball, and Mets-related giveaways, are around the corner. That is reason to celebrate.

Young James Herriot
2.5/5 ABC1, 8.20pm
Described as "a dramedy prequel" to All Creatures Great and Small, this bucolic veterinary romp follows the trials and tribulations of the "lovably bumbling" Herriot as he works his way through Glasgow Veterinary College in the 1930s. The ugly word "dramedy" smacks of a shotgun marriage of competing interests and, as such, is an apt description of this bumbling but not necessarily lovable barnyard frolic.
BBC Scotland delivers in spades when it comes to reproducing the filth and muck of depression-era British agriculture – the sheer wretchedness of eking out a living from animals on a windswept heath, where a few contagious cows among the herd can mean financial ruin. The locations, costumes and even the weather appear to be spot on.
Less successful is the cocktail of slapstick and pathos that the writers spill all over this forbidding landscape. Iain de Caestecker's skittish and awkward Herriot is played for laughs but clangs as the plot lurches from light comedy (a doting elderly couple being fleeced for the care of their "psychologically damaged" pet sheep) to the melodramatic (a damaged World War I veteran contemplating hanging himself after accidentally poisoning cattle). Oh, and any scriptwriter who uses the line, "It's the coward's way out, man!", in a suicide scene should be offered the rope as a matter of course.
2.5/5 SBS One, 8.30pm
From sick cows to sick minds – and there is nothing "dramedic" about Hunted. On the contrary, this could do with a little light relief. If you take out the sex, violence, car accidents and relentless bloodlust, little remains except the scheming duplicity and sadistic leanings of just about everyone involved.
The overly twisted plot centres on the precarious life of Sam (Melissa George), a spy who finds herself dodging bullets, rapacious men and evil corporate conspirators. It doesn't much matter that you have no real idea what's going on, it's all extremely serious and deeply menacing, and there are no nice people to distract you into caring about what happens to them – just abject weirdos and fornicating fruitcakes with guns, fists and alluring breasts. Blam!
Real Humans
3.5/5 SBS One, 9.30pm
Real Humans assumes that in Sweden, in the not-too-distant future, it will be possible to buy a robot so similar in appearance and behaviour to a human that these anthropoid devices quickly become a slave race of androids, or in this case "hubots". They take on the roles of pets, domestic staff and sex toys, inevitably leading to much soul-searching on the part of those people not too busy hanging out at the deeply sleazy Hubot Heaven, paying a few crowns for intimate sessions with pneumatically improbable electric strippers.
This is hardly a new idea but given that this is 2012 (and the 9.30pm timeslot), the sexual temptations inherent in such anthropomorphic engineering are given far more latitude than Isaac Asimov ever dreamt of allowing himself in I, Robot.
Inevitably, the hubots revolt and all hell breaks loose. Women leave their husbands to seek love and understanding in the caresses of cyborgs and the ever-blurring line between man and machine throws up the usual ethical nightmares. You'll never look at your vacuum cleaner in quite the same way after this lot.
Go Girls
2/5 Ten, 9.30pm
This episode is entitled "Love Hurts" and it is, indeed, painful. Kevin is laid up on the couch with a broken arm, beset by crippling headaches. Hardly surprising, given he is surrounded by a bevy of babbling babes, but it is not their incessant chatter that pains him. His cerebral agony is compounded, and possibly caused, by scantily clad caregivers who fret and fawn while he is in no position to exploit their maternal urges.
Oh, it's hard to imagine oneself in a worse spot than being stuck on that couch – unless it's being stuck on one's own couch watching this double serving of Go Girls. Still, it's in its fourth season – someone must be happy on a couch somewhere.
Dr No
(1962) Seven, 6.30pm
More nonsense is written about James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming, than about almost any other famous writer. Journalists have long speculated on Fleming's inspiration for Bond, when the answer is obvious: himself. Fleming was a senior figure in British naval intelligence and helped plan major operations. He knew his stuff and that's why his best novels are so good. Despite Fleming's objections, the producers of the first Bond film cast the young and largely unknown Sean Connery. Fleming hatedDr No and predicted 007 would never be seen on the screen again. He was a fabulous writer but a lousy critic. Within its modest ambit, Dr No is a classic, even though Connery's cheeky Bond bears limited resemblance to Fleming's tortured original. But the film set the high-gloss look of those that followed and has the added bonus of Ursula Andress's Honey Ryder emerging from the water at Crab Key in one of the series' iconic moments.
From Russia with Love
(1963) Seven, 8.45pm
Even better than Dr No is this follow-up, with Bond sent to Istanbul to seduce a Russian spy, Tatiana (Daniela Bianchi). The film is dazzling to behold (Istanbul before the skyscrapers), has a truly thrilling sequence aboard the Orient Express, and, in Rosa Klebb (Lotte Lenya), features the best lesbian villain ever.
Downhill Racer
(1969) ABC2, 8.30pm
David Chappellet (Robert Redford), from a small farm in Idaho, is an angry young man. A gifted downhill skier, he nevertheless resents everyone and everything. There is not much to like. But in that late-1960s era of cinematic rebels without good cause, the anti-hero ruled and Chappellet is one of the most fascinating, especially as played by the piercingly blue-eyed and hypnotic Redford. Brilliantly scripted by James Salter and directed by Michael Ritchie, Downhill Racer is a surprisingly moving film about one man's desire to create wreckage when success keeps reaching out to embrace him. Despite minimal dialogue and an overabundance of montages, this sparse and measured film manages to generate the resonance of a major novel. It is a masterful first film, even if Ritchie arguably got even better with The Candidate (1971) and Smile (1975).

The Amazing World of Gumball
Cartoon Network, 9am
Gumball is a blue cat who lives with his mother (another blue cat) and his father (a useless pink rabbit).

Memorable scenes include a reindeer lawn ornament being impaled rectally by a flying Christmas tree and bursting into flames as a child looks on horrified, his eyes filling with tears.

Kylie: Aphrodite Les Folies Live
Max, 8.30pm
Max's 25-hour celebration of Kylie Minogue's 25 years in the music biz kicks off with this spectacular concert filmed on the last night of her Aphrodite Les Folies tour at London's O2 arena last year. It's quite the retrospective, ranging from Better the Devil You Know to All the Lovers via Confide in Me,Spinning Around and loads of other hits. A sultry, jazzy version of Slow works well but the arena-rock reworking of Can't Get You Out of My Head is a huge disappointment - if there's one song in the Minogue oeuvre that demands faithful album-version treatment, it's that one. The set and costumes are over-the-top Greco-Roman by way of Robert Mapplethorpe. Classical pillars separate giant video screens full of rippling abs and the male dancers' togas are cut short to show off their gold hot pants. It's kitschy, camp and a whole lot of fun. The Kylie marathon winds up tomorrow night with the tour doco My Year as Aphrodite at 8.30pm.

• prodigal •
Pronunciation: prah-dê-gêl • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Adjective
Meaning: 1. Recklessly extravagant, wastefully lavish. 2. Profuse, superabundant.
Notes: Today's Good Word is probably encountered most often in the crystallized phrase prodigal son for reasons provided in the Word History. It is not related to prodigious, which, like prodigy, derives from the Latin word for "portent, omen". The noun accompanying this adjective is prodigality and the adverb, prodigally.
In Play: The most common sense of today's word refers to living outside our means: "Owen Cash lived such a prodigal life after winning the lotto jackpot that he was broke again in five years." (He is spending a lot of time these days with Robin Banks.) However, this word also has a neutral sense referring simply to profuseness: "No one understood the prodigal praise heaped on Will Doolittle at his retirement party."
Word History: This word was borrowed from Middle French prodigal (currently prodigue), the legitimate descendant of late Latin prodigalis "lavish, wasteful". The Latin adjective arose from the verb prodigere "to drive away, to squander", made up of pro(d)- "for, forth, away" + agere "to lead, drive", also the root of agent. The shift in meaning is explained by the parable of the prodigal son in the Book of Luke in the New Testament. The prodigal son took his inheritance while his father was alive, left home and wasted it, only to return impoverished, begging forgiveness. (Today we are grateful to the prodigal mind of Colin Burt for suggesting this Good Word.)

Urban Joseph Schroder
10 February 1945 — Isley Field, Saipan, Mariana Islands
Born Urban Joseph Schroder in 1919 at Ohio. Enlisted in the Army Air Corps on 17 April 1942 at Cincinnati, Ohio. Completed flight training and was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant. Underwent B-29 aircraft transition and combat crew training at Walker Army Airfield, Kansas.
In September 1944, deployed to the Central Pacific Theatre of Operations and was assigned to 20th Air Force, XXI Bomber Command, 73rd Bomb Wing, 500th Bombardment Group (Very Heavy), 881st Bomb Squadron stationed at Isley Field on Saipan in the Mariana Islands.
On 10 February 1945, he flew as the Flight Engineer aboard a Boeing B-29 Superfortress, Tail Code: Z-Square-13 (serial #42-93876).
It was one of 120 aircraft launched in a multi-wing group formation to bombard the Nakajima Aircraft Assembly Plant at Ota on the northwest side of Tokyo, Japan. While over the target area, the group was attacked by a band of Nakajima Ki-44 single-engine "Tojo" fighter planes. His B-29 aircraft suffered damage to the right wing and the #3 engine trailed heavy smoke. He was last sighted by A-Square-43 at a geographic location of 35+45N, 141+25E approximately 80 nautical miles east of Tokyo. He was killed when his aircraft was forced to ditch on the return route to Saipan.

John Authers, my predecessor as Short View writer and co-author of this blog, published some interesting graphs this week about London property, as he worries about a bubble.
I don't often disagree with him, but on property I think he's missing a trick. He pointed out that Miami's housing bubble was far worse than London's, but that London's price rise is now approaching where Miami was:
But these prices (rebased to January 2000) were in local currency terms. And London's property market is so important to the country, and its buyers so international, that it makes more sense to compare these prices in constant-currency terms.
That's easily done by converting London prices to dollars and then rebasing:
So from an international perspective the boom in London prices was every bit as big as in Miami; they just peaked slightly later. The bust was of the same magnitude, and even more extreme, since it took place through the collapse of sterling rather than the somewhat less rapid fall in property prices. Read more

Comment on To Love-Ru Darkness Lives Up To Its Name by CaliforniaOtaku83:
They can just create a pay channel like HBO or Showtime.
CaliforniaOtaku83 made other comments on this post:
- To Love-Ru Darkness Lives Up To Its Name:
Then AT-X needs to tell the studio not to censor it or they can just refuse to air it. If it's a pay network, then they shouldn't be forced to air censored programs. Of course, Time Warner could just create a Japanese HBO channel. They can air anime and hit movies uncensored and make billions. Bill Maher might not sell in Japan, but Boardwalk Empire, Big Love and Sex and the City and True Blood would be hits in Japan if they aired as they did in the US.
- To Love-Ru Darkness Lives Up To Its Name:
The Japanese need to create their own HBO channel so they can air anime uncensored.

blackoctagon - Thursday, August 22, 2013 - linkThe fact that you're 'not experiencing issues' doesn't mean that you're experiencing ideal motion clarity. You're not obliged to seek out monitors that have the best motion clarity for shooters, but if that's the road you choose to go down please think twice before claiming that you 'care' about motion clarity Reply
1Angelreloaded - Thursday, August 22, 2013 - linkuhm how can I break this down for you Photography and Filmography are used professionally on these monitors so MS plays a huge roll in ghosting during the film, so yes it does matter considerably, and this day in age people hybrid their workstations so they can game and do pro work on them, hence Nvidia released the Titan to fill that market, 1k for a hybrid workstation/gaming card is amazing. Reply
purerice - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkTo rephrase what Sancus said, there are two types of customers for >27", >1440p monitors: those who need high refresh rates and those who need high color accuracy. The intended market for the VUE 30 is the high color accuracy market. Reply
Asmodian - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkThe now discontinued LG W3000H had low input lag due to the lack of OSD and only one input (DVI-DL). It also has a wide gamut and mine has an uncalibrated white point of around 9000K (due to extra green instead of blue). Odd how no one seems to care about input lag on 16:10 displays anymore. Only 16:9 for gaming I guess. :( Reply
rtho782 - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkMy Dell WFP3007-HC has almost no input lag. The advantage of having a 30" from the days before there were any image processing chips available for 2560x1600 :P Reply
SodaAnt - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI used a dell u3011 for quite a while, which I believe has similar input lag, and I never noticed a thing in gaming. I think its just another tiny lag, keep in mind it isn't even two frames at 60 fps, and if you're running at 30 fps its not even a single frame of lag, so I doubt most people would notice it in gaming. Reply
oobble - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkThat is completely untrue. Most 2560x1440 27" monitors have an input lag of around 7ms. Reply
blackoctagon - Thursday, August 22, 2013 - linkWas that a reply to me? If so then what you state is incorrect, or you otherwise are referring to input lag in a different form to me. What matters is TOTAL monitor latency (a product of 'input lag' as well as pixel response time and processing time). Total latency on most IPSs is not appropriate for fast motion shooters, even though there are a select few IPSs that have low input lag, or have high refresh rates. In any case, this Nixeus is not one of these select few and is appropriate for graphics/photo design work rather than gaming. Reply
AnnonymousCoward - Thursday, August 22, 2013 - linkI think the latest Dell 30" has a game mode with sub-16ms lag. This is critical to me for ALL computer usage. Reply
Soldier1969 - Friday, August 23, 2013 - linkUhm spoken by someone that clearly can't afford one or never used one. Only read about them I guess. Ive been gaming on a HP ZR30 for 3 years now very happy with the clarity and shooting motion but thanks nice try. Reply
ZeDestructor - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkSame range as on every top-end "professional-use" wide-gamut panel. My U2410s have similar, and my 2408 is far worse at 64ms overall. All of those are eminently good for gaming. If anything, I prefer them over any fast TN because of the nicer colours. Really helps immersion :D. Sucks a bit for online p,lay though, but until eDP-based panels become a major thing, we'll still have input lag from scalers and whatnot, and in any case, you can't go below the panel response. Reply
blackoctagon - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkGlad to hear you're so insensitive to input lag. However, what you experience is by no means the cream of the crop. One can maintain the pleasant colours of IPS and still have good motion clarity by getting one of the overclockable 27-inch 1440p screens. Their input lag is much less, and further mitigated by the (approx.) 120Hz refresh rate. Orders of magnitude better for FPS gaming than what a 30-inch IPS screen can deliver Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkThe 2408 was infamously bad. Unlike previous laggy Dell panels that only bothered some gamers the 2408 was slow enough that it annoyed a lot of people who were just working at the desktop. While continuing to insist nothing was wrong and it was working as designed; Dell/etc pulled back (and eventually started listing it on their spec sheets) and the display industry generally insisted on nothing slower than ~2 frames (32ms) which are good enough that no one other than some action gamers complain. I occasionally notice what might be the 30ms on my NEC 3090 when playing POE (an aRPG); but it's intermittent enough I'm not sure if it's actually panel lag or just me hitting the limits of my reaction time. Reply
ZeDestructor - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - link>overclockable 27-inch 1440p screens
RPS or bit-tech (can't remember which) tested that when the Titan came out. They only achieved ~72Hz before the panel itself just started dropping frames because it couldn't keep up.
Besides, as I said up there, image processing and DP->LVDS conversion takes time. constant time, but time nonetheless. If you had a TN panel at 2560x1600@60Hz, you'd see at least 12ms of processing lag + some more for the panel itself. If you can rip out the on-board processing entirely, you're reducing the lag quite a a bit, which is exactly what game modes do: pipe the signal straight to LVDS conversion with no post-processing. On the U2410, that drops the latency from ~30ms to ~14ms.
In any case, you missed the point of my comment, where I mentioned it being in the same range as most other wide-gamut, professional-use panels and perfectly fine for single-player gaming, where you can learn to compensate for it. Hell, my LoL-playing friends used to pull off skillshots by timing it just right with a a 300ms ping time to US servers. If you think 30ms is bad... Reply
blackoctagon - Tuesday, August 27, 2013 - linkI would like to see this "RPS or bit-tech" review if you can find it. There are plenty of 2560x1440 monitors out there that overclock SLIGHTLY, but VERY few that support refresh rates up to approx. 120Hz. Unless the reviewers looked at one of the latter monitors (which would surprise me) then I'm not surprised that they started seeing dropped frames. Reply
davsp - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkViewable Size = 20" I'm guessing typo on spec sheet. :) Reply
ingwe - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkNah, didn't you see the HUGE bezel? Reply
ZeDestructor - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - link> Note also that lag might be lower running at the native 2560x1600, but I can't directly compare that with most other displays as they lack support for that resolution.
Please don't do that. People who buy/want these big, 30" 16:10 panels are paying the hefty premium for the full resolution, not to run something lower through the scaler. As such, I (and others, probably) would appreciate native resolution response times rather than scaled. 2560x1600 is uncommon because of the hefty price (1.5k per screen so far!), not because wqe don't want 2560x1600. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI believe Chris is using a Leo Bodnar device now (http://bit.ly/WXV7Vv), where formerly he used a CRT as a reference display sending the same content to both. To do native 2560x1600 lag tests, you'd need a device (CRT or Leo Bodnar or similar) that supports WQXGA...which doesn't exist. Chris can correct me if I'm wrong, though. Reply
saratoga3 - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkApparently that device can't do > 1080p. Unfortunately this means using the scaler, which I think is a really bad idea. Resizing a 4 MP image can easily take an entire frame worth of latency. Its entirely possible that the actual input lag at native resolution is much lower. Reply
mdrejhon - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkThe Blur Busters Input Lag Tester, supports 4K, 120Hz, WQXGA and any other resolutions. It will be released before the end of the year. There is also a second input lag tester (SMTT style) that I have invented as well, which is undergoing tests. Keep tuned at the Blur Busters website. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI probably need to have a Cut-and-Paste note for the lag section at this point. I was using SMTT which worked reasonably well, but no longer is selling licenses and mine has long expired now. Mirroring a counter can have issues, but the main one is there isn't a CRT I can reasonably buy that does beyond 1920x1200 (since I'm moving into the world of Barco and Sony 9" CRT projectors that cost a ton and take up far too much room) so then I have to scale the video input anyway. All the lag testers, like the Leo Bodnar, are designed around TVs so they cap at 1080p for output right now.
Hopefully with 4K TVs coming out there will be someone that makes a lag tester that uses HDMI 1.4a and can run at multiple resolutions, but it doesn't exist yet. All other lag measurement methods use oscilloscopes and custom software, which is beyond what I can manage at the moment. The Leo Bodnar is far from ideal for this, but it's the best of a bad situation. For monitors that allow direct 1:1 input, I always measure that mode and not a scaled mode. Often I find the differences are only 1-2ms, though, so the scaler really isn't adding that much of an impact. Reply
ZeDestructor - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkThanks for the clarification.
That aside, scopes aren't too expensive.. I mean, a bunch of my friends (Uni students) bought a bunch of Rigol scopes (around 300AUD each) just so they didn't have to trek down to uni for working on their projects. Sure, you can get really expensive ones well into the thousands range, but last I checked a few weeks ago from reading TFTCentral's reviews, a USB scope is in the €300 range, which IMO isn't bad at all considering the sheer datalogging you can do from a computer vs an independent scope...

The fit and finish and look of this is so ultra-cheap. A bit of decent quality matte plastic and a stand that isn't terrible wouldn't break the bank, but it would make this look worth the money they're charging. Reply

spat55 - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkFunny thing is this has the same OSD as my DGM (Digimate) 27" 1440p monitor. Really nice quality, but I have heard bad things about the power supplies going bang, but I have had mine for 4 months so hopefully I will be good and have a decent batch. Reply
coolhardware - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkCrazy timing, I just ordered a 27" 2560x1440 Korean made display last night. It was a hair over $300 at Amazon (shortened URL: http://goo.gl/zU4E3x ) and I was shocked that it was so cheap. It is no frills, with Dual Link DVI as the only interface but that is my preferred interface anyway. :-)
As for size:
30" 2560x1600 = 404.49 square inches (25.4″x15.9″)
27" 2560x1440 = 311.5 square inches (23.5″x13.2″)
So for $300 for a 27" model you get 77% of the display area of the $700 30" model... not bad!

After reading this review I am glad that I did not get a 30" Korean model as it looks like there is still some improvements to be made and that price is still very high. I agree with the article and other commenters that a Dell 30" (or similar) may still be preferred and I am looking forward to comparing the new 27" display to my old standby the Dell 3007WFP (from way back in 2005!) Reply
Nfarce - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkGood luck. Those inexpensive Korean knock-offs have a high rate of QC issues, from dust/dirt inside the display to plenty of dead pixels and uneven LCD mounting inside the bezel. I just dropped $699 on an LG 27EA83-D at Fry's and am seriously thinking of returning it and getting a 30" Dell U3014 direct from Dell for $999 on sale all month with a coupon code. The LG is great but not as big a leap from my 24" 1920x1200 Samsung as expected, even with the higher resolution. Reply
peterfares - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - linkI've had a cheapo Korean for over a year now. Paid $290 for it shipped to my door. Sits next to my Dell U3011. Not a single issue. No defective pixels, either.

repoman27 - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkCan we please stop the silly trend of referring to all displays as [vertical resolution] & "p"? The resolutions and aspect ratios of computer displays are not governed by the ATSC or DVB, and none of these panels are intended to be driven in an interlaced mode. At best the "p" just sits there conveying no useful information, at worst it causes the writer to omit actually useful information.
[horizontal resolution] & "x" & [vertical resolution] is better, and likely preferable to the rather forgettable initialisms such as "WQXGA". If you are talking about a display with an ATSC or DVB defined resolution and want to use the "p" nomenclature, at least include the maximum refresh rate, since this will definitely be a concern with the initial wave of UHDTV panels. Reply
blackoctagon - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkYou're right of course, but typing 1440p is a lot quicker than 2560X1440. Not to mention the fact that pretty much everyone knows (or should know) what 1080p/1440p/1600p is shorthand for in the context of computer monitors. Reply
piroroadkill - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI agree.
The p is totally hopeless information. Pointless trend. Even worse, when people have described 1920x1200 tablets as "1080p" or "Full HD". I don't want a 1920x1080 screen necessarily, but a 1920x1200 one is a more compelling ratio. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkAlluding to the new Nexus 7 there? I had a chuckle when I saw Google use both terms on the official Play store page, right alongside the 1920x1200 listed res. It's like the average consumer can't even be counted on to remember more than one number anymore or even assume larger = better (probably why 4K has emerged as a label, anything more technically accurate would just go in one ear and out the other). Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, August 21, 2013 - link4k emerged as a term years ago in high end professional video circles because all but one of the resolutions used were 4096 pixels across; the aspect ratio was varied solely by changing the vertical resolution. From there it just trickled down; we geeks read about it on gadget blogs/etc and lusted after stuff that would support it while costing less than our homes and gradually popularized it as the next big thing. Meanwhile, and unsurprisingly the TV people settled on the slightly smaller quadHD standard since it has less implementation/back compatability issues. Reply
blackoctagon - Thursday, August 22, 2013 - linkI think you're being overly fussy. Even John Carmack casually uses the 'p' when describing the resolution of non-TV displays (just heard him do so on the QuakeCon keynote) Reply
7beauties - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkSince this is an IPS panel, it probably goes without saying that its refresh rate is just 60Hz. The response time of 7ms is borderline if you're a gamer. What's most disappointing to me is that it has CCFL backlighting, making the display heavier, hotter, thicker, and less power efficient. Most current LCD's use the newer LED backlighting, so this is the LCD equivalent of paying luxury price for a car that's carburetered. I'll hold out for when OLED's take hold and become affordable. Thank you. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkExcept for the most expensive sort, LED backlighting cannot match a *good* CCFL for color gamut. While the lack of an sRGB mode limits the VUE 30 somewhat their backlight choice indicates they're going for the pro market where color accuracy is more important than the equivalent of an hours pay/year in extra power use or an increase in thickness that no one but a silly fanboi would care about.

DanNeely - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkDon't hold your breath. That'd be ~125DPI; high enough that at anything beyond hunched over your laptop viewing distance windows controls are going to be squinty at native resolution; but not high enough to use a linear scaling mode. What you should be lusting after in that size bracket is a quadHD panel: ~180 DPI for software that supports it and relatively clean 2:1 scaling at 90dpi when it doesn't. Reply

geok1ng - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI think the review gave correct advice about this monitor: it is a cheap and valid alternative for those that want adobe RGB coverage. For gaming it is just about as bad as many other 30" and certainly not better for gaming than a 27" 2560x1440 LED panel. For productivity i believe the price is a bit off, since you are better served by a 39" 4k Seiki TV for the same price, with better colors at sRGB. These are the last remnants of a dieing breed of CCFL monitors. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI've been gaming on a 30" HP LP3065 for something like six or seven years. I love it, and sadly I think the introduction of scalers to 30" displays simply made them more laggy. I'll be sad when I eventually have to replace this display! Reply

abhaxus - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkit's time to end this farce and stop posting input lag numbers that are not at native resolution. I've bought two monitors in the last 8 months (a 23" eIPS Asus and a 27" Qnix QX2710 from Korea) and got NO help from these Anandtech reviews, due to the ridiculous notion that input lag at 1080p is somehow comparable to what it would be with no scaling. Either don't put the number up there, or do the tests at native res. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkUnless the scaler totally deactivates and thus doesn't contribute to lag, running native won't be any less laggy. For most displays, the presence of a scaler is an all or nothing thing. The old Dell 3008WFP had much worse lag than the 3007WFP because it had multiple inputs and a scaler. Unless something has changed, I wouldn't expect native resolution to be less laggy.
As I noted above, however, the problem is in testing for input lag at native. We used to compare to a CRT, which meant we were limited to CRT resolutions. Now Chris is using the Leo Bodnar lag tester...which has a max resolution support of 1080p. Until someone makes one capable of testing native 4K and WQXGA, Chris doesn't have a way to test input lag at native on these displays. Reply
cheinonen - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkAdding to what Jared said, testing on displays that offer both 1:1 mode and a scaling stretch mode, I typically see only 1-2ms of delay difference between them.Most monitors are using cheap, fast scalers that doesn't add that much lag. Things like color management and other features, which you'll see in more displays now, add far more lag because that is more intensive work to do.
Believe me, if someone makes a lag tester that does more than 1080p I'm buying it. Otherwise buying a scope for a single measurement is just cost prohibitive. Reply
HisDivineOrder - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkSeems inevitable that the 2560x1600 will remain mostly niche with 2560x1440 becoming the go-to resolution in the post-4K world that we'll be soon living in. Monitor makers will be selling these 1440p displays hand over fist when people become convinced they want a high resolution display but find the pricetag on 4K to be out of this world and they come back down to Earth, still wanting a higher resolution display than 720p/768p/1080p.
I doubt they'll make 1600p the go-to resolution, so they'll split the difference and go with 1440p to maximize profits (the exact reason they went to 1080p instead of 1200p). Reply
Sabresiberian - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkFrankly, I think about sRGB the same way I think about TN and 16:9 - they are low-quality standards that I would like to see fade away from mainstream monitors. While I agree that any monitor aimed at said mainstream should be sRGB capable, I can't help but think it is really time for the standard to be raised. It is possible to give us full AdobeRGB without breaking the bank - as is proven here.
This isn't an LCD thing, of course, sRGB pervades the industry all along the path of software and hardware. But, not many people are demanding higher quality color reproduction, so when is it going to change, if ever?
Well, I'll say it - sRGB is a low-quality standard, and it is time we moved on. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkYou're right, but of course 99% of laptops can't even do sRGB let alone AdobeRGB or NTSC, and laptops are now outselling desktops. I've been using a high gamut HP LP3065 for years, though, and while I notice the oversaturation at times, when I'm working with many imaging programs (Photoshop, even most browsers now, and MS Photo Viewer) appear to recognize AdobeRGB properly. Reply
SeannyB - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkI hope some day we'll simply have color management on all OSes (namely Windows and Android), and not just OSX. I'm living with a calibrated and profiled extended gamut 1600p monitor in Windows 7, and it's tough. Windows 7 doesn't assume/remap its shell to sRGB, or any other apps. Only certain software like Adobe's, and a few others with effort (Irfanview, Firefox, Media Player Classic Home Cinema) are "color aware". Google Chrome remaps correctly when viewing JPEGs with colorspace tags, but everything else in that browser is oversaturated. (It doesn't assume sRGB from untagged images and web colors.)
I think a future of ubiquitous color management will have to happen in a world of ubiquitous OLED displays. That's a future that continuously seems over the horizon. Reply
ZeDestructor - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkThere are preferences in FF that sets default colourspace to sRGB (I used it on and off, depending on my mood), so only correctly tagged pictures are rendered with wide gamut.
For the windows shell, it doesn't matter, and lastly, for the programs, well, Windows' integrated picture viewer is colour aware, as I was surprised to discover. Its all there where it should be. You don't really care what your UI elements look like, but pictures and video you do care. Reply
Sabresiberian - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkIt is great to see prices drop this much, but the standard 30" screen still has a serious problem, in my eyes. .25mm dot pitch.
Okay that isn't terrible; it's something I could live with. But the fact is, I can buy a 27" with much better dot pitch (.233mm) and spend a lot less money. I hate the 16:9, but it isn't as bad as .25mm for me in that large of a display, personally, so the trade-off means I'll go with spending less money to get something a bit closer to what I want.
Give me 16:10.
Give me at least (most?) .233mm dot pitch, - better certainly isn't an unreasonable thing to ask in this day and age.
Give me an IPS panel (or comparable, or, gasp even better!), preferably with a backlight solution that doesn't feel like a heat lamp shining on my face.
Give me accurate colors, a uniform display, screen surface that isn't too reflective OR to heavily anti-reflective, a thin bezel so I can put 3 of them side-by-side without big spaces between the displays..
Give me low lag.
Sell it to me for less than $600. Really, I think $500 isn't unreasonable, but I'll buy it at $600. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, August 20, 2013 - linkWindows still doesn't handle odd DPI all that well, though 8.1 may improve this. As someone who has used 30" LCDs for years now, I will tell you that I have no issues with the dot pitch, and in fact I often have to increase the magnification to read text comfortably. I think a dot pitch for desktop displays of around 0.28-0.30mm is actually better for most people past 30 years old. For businesses with 40+ year old employees, I have had many instances where I had to set their 1080p or 1920x1200 display to run at a lower resolution because the user complained that the text was too small.
So, sorry to burst your bubble, but in the larger market of the world (e.g. people older than 25) having higher DPI is not actually all that important or even desirable. Not to mention, if you had a 4K 25" display, you need GPUs capable of driving that resolution at a reasonable level of performance. Just like the business world doesn't worry too much about high DPI displays, they're not interested in high performance GPUs for general computer use either. Reply

stephenbrooks - Friday, August 23, 2013 - linkRight on with the dot pitch comment. I recently got to work on a 27" 1440p display and felt I had to set the Windows 7 UI & font scaling to 125% rather than 100% (I'm 29). The side-effect was that 125% looked kind of "Mac like" with high res fonts still the same size, whereas 100% was like trying to work at a scale designed for ultraportable laptops. Reply

DeLAND, Fla. - A Volusia County judge has granted a temporary injunction on Monday to limit the amount of people allowed at a DeLand house that police say is operating as a nightclub where a fatal shooting occurred over the weekend.
Police say 24-year-old Jamel Simmons was found Sunday lying in on Clara Avenue outside The Big House. He was taken to a hospital where he died. Two other people were taken to the hospital -- one with a gunshot wound and the other with injuries from a physical altercation, police said.
The home is known in the area as a party house and police said the neighborhood is an area known for crime problems.
Circuit Judge Robert Rouse granted the city of DeLand a temporary injunction that limits the amount of people allowed at The Big House and prohibited homeowner Stedroy Maynard from selling food or drink or allowing renters to use it as a business.
The injunction also states Maynard is not allowed to have more than 36 people at the house, with the exception of New Year's Eve, Labor Day, Fourth of July and the Saturday after his birthday.
The city has been fighting against the house since before the fatal shooting, calling the house a "public nuisance."
Officials said the house is operating as a business in the residential area, selling alcohol on the property and hosting music performances. Maynard can no longer violate the city's noise ordinance or publicly advertise any parties at the house, according to the injunction.
At the hearing on Monday, the city said items in the house showed evidence of a business, such as a change machine, a bar, tables and a tip jar.
But Maynard denied that it is operating as a business and that it is a public nuisance. He took the stand on Monday saying he inherited the house from his father and wanted to fix it up to make him proud.
Maynard did admit to throwing parties but denied he was making any money off of it. He says he has never been in trouble with the law before.
A video on YouTube shows a 2011 rap performance with loud music at The Big House in a crowded room.
Police have released few details about the shooting, including the other victims' names or genders. The shooting victim, Simmons, has been arrested six times since 2007, including one arrest in February with charges of carrying a concealed firearm, possession of cocaine and aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer with a firearm, the the Daytona Beach News-Journal reports.
