Final conclusion

Score: 4

InleidingIk use this monitor in combination with a standard laptop and a Playstation 4, this review will not be entered on the FreeSync technology and high refresh rate of 144hz. In a later stage, I go into the review to extend with a extended piece about the FreeSync technology and the use of the 144hz. A very long time I have a iiyama monitor had a slightly lesser quality, a Iiyama ProLite E2407HDS-1. This I have always a lot of fun, a excellent monitor for daily use. However, because of my future idea to have a PC in the other to convert, I have recently had a new 2nd monitor purchased.

My old monitor, the Iiyama ProLite E2407HDS-1 is a monitor with a refresh rate of 75hz and a response time of 2ms. Here is still a large difference in comparison with the Iiyama ProLite GB2488HSU-B2. This has a refresh rate of 144hz and a response time of 1ms.

Outside of the fact that the technical specifications of the new GB2488HSU-B2 a lot better than my previous monitor and generally a lot better than the average «home and garden» monitor. The GB2488HSU-B2 is also a monitor that is in very very many ways to tilt and twist. He is adjustable in height, vertical tilt and horizontal tilt. You can give him, therefore, exactly to your personal liking, this is something that was lacking with my previous monitor. Partly because of this in a slightly more expensive price range.First indrukHet first thing that I noticed in the unboxing of my new monitor was the excellent unboxing experience. It was a good sturdy box with lots of cables and it struck me as everything except against. For a monitor of 300 euros, I found this a big plus. Also because of the easy design makes this a very pleasant experience.

The monitor comes with the following cables:

• DisplayPort
• 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm
• Dual-Link DVI
• Power cable

When I got the monitor once it had been set up and have everything connected, I noticed that the monitor is not only wonderfully adjustable, but also that he is a lot more solid as my old monitor. When configuring a number of cables, and the scrolling of my table top remained, the monitor neat right that I had the idea that he is unstable. This is on my older monitor is always dangerous because my top is loose!Graphic kwaliteitZoals discussed previously: a part of the graphical aspects of the monitor I still need to test and so I can not yet review!After connecting the monitor, I have him tested directly, once connected to my Playstation 4, I have a number of laps in the Project Cars and a number of pots of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 played. The first thing that I want to be here noticed that the monitor is still a lot better picture than my old monitor. It was a lot sharper image, probably this is due to the dot pitch.

Outside of the fact that at first glance the monitor is a piece of beautiful looks are the graphics settings a lot more extensive than my previous monitor. You can set a number of presets to use, or your own preset and self-adjusting. Here are a number of things that are important, brightness, contrast, and the black tuner to adjust. But also FreeSync support on and off is one of the options for this monitor. This is, of course, locked as you don’t pair it with a computer with an AMD video card.Touchscreen buttons iiyama ProLite GB2488HSU-B2 has no physical buttons, but touch screen buttons. Of course, it is a best alternative, however, I am personally not a fan of both.. My previous monitor had a relatively annoying problem with the physical buttons. This responded just sometimes slow. Took me 5-10x the clicks before it responds. With my new monitor, there are no physical buttons, this problem will therefore no longer show up. However, these buttons are what is hard to press, it reacts not entirely smooth.

Unfortunately, this is nothing to do and it is not more than a little pity!ConclusieVoor gaming on a playstation 4, I recommend buying a monitor in this price range. It is just simply overkill and not needed. However, I would you may be very recommend to get a monitor brand Iiyama to buy! My personal experience is that their monitors the best together in combination with gaming. Their quick response time and crisp image that makes you enemies the fastest for their head can pop off!

It is an excellent monitor for an advanced PC gamer, for the average console gamer, this is to my idea not the best choice. Simply because you will not have the additional technology, this monitor boasts.

This year, from 23 to 25 november the Gameplay fair in Utrecht Jaarbeurshallen held. For the first time in the history of this exhibition covers the event in two halls, so that there is more to see than in previous years. Naturally, they were on the first day all nextgenconsoles of the party, as well as a number of large developers and shops. Mainly Ubisoft and Electronic Arts jumps stood out, with, respectively nine and fifteen different playable games from home on their stands.

Old-fashioned play on the Magic: the Gathering-stand

For all of the consoles were dozens of new games to play, including some that are not yet on the market have appeared. The Wii seemed, however, less represented than the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. There were a few pods scattered about the halls, where little use was made and a special cottage for Mario Galaxy with a dozen Wii’s, where a whole row of people stood waiting.

Gaming is in addition to the fun, for the win, as well as in Gameplay. There were several competitions, including that of Unreal Tournament 3: on the Acer/Intel-booth was there on laptops fought against one of the best UT-players, Laurens Pluijmakers. On the Free Record Shop stand had dozens of people signed up for the Guitar Hero III competition, and also our own Phobos.

Because the Gameplay fair is spread out over two halls there is more than enough space for all the stands and you can quiet all along without too much push — and drawgear. However, you have, despite the larger size, probably after half a day of everything already seen. About seen, spoken to, this year, there was good air in boothbabes:

The past two weeks we got a lot of suggestions that are not suitable for a news story appeared. Last week shot a blog there unfortunately, but it is still part seven from the series ‘What this week’s news didn’t make it’.

Bone

CNN reported about Gabriel Ortiz, who idiotenfilter has built. With its software can be annoying omgwtfbbq!!!111′-responses are detected, while-ironically-simple reactions, however, are allowed to pass through. ‘Some newsgroups disappear completely when they first by this filter will be removed’, gnuift The Inquirer. We will be sure to pay attention to in the next Netcraft survey found that the number of web pages is reduced, but as yet did the message not by us «first see and then believe» -filter.

In South Korea is another technological highlight on the schedule. In 2013, there two robotpretparken are built, where 1.6 billion dollars in invested. As long as even Microsoft still openly admits that it was not easy to virusscannertje to build, it is to be hoped that there is not a second Westworld af gekoerst. The plans are us anyway, a little vague, but as soon as there are more than ‘consumers can interact with robots» is unveiled, to get you to read it.

Pissed off

In Belgium lwa was the beginning of this month, a game introduced with the help of a urinal can be controlled. By aiming for the gentlemen users a raceautootje control, which, according to the creators urinating in public can counter. The Belgian police has unfortunately believed: the game would the good morals violation and is prohibited. We suspect that the responsible verbieders jealous, but whether it was ladies or gentlemen with a small vesicle goes on, we could not figure out.

Really emanations, can be found in Yahoo! Messenger, Quicktime and Firefox. That claims at least Bit9: these applications are, according to the researchers most responsible for security vulnerabilities, and that conclusion is reinforced by the number of problems found with the market share to multiply. The speed with which the creators of the problems is, according to Bit9 is not important, what is more, the applications have since June last year but completed. n leak had to have to be as ‘dangerous’ qualified to be. Windows does it by Automation Guide not because the security of the ‘usually’ is centrally arranged. We find this kind of investigations ‘usually’ nonsense.

Mistake!

A Dutch news site publishes on the seventh of november the message that researchers down under the capacity of adsl have increased fivefold — but we already had a small two weeks previously written about. We now call no names, because a mistake can happen and we miss out on himself sometimes. It was, however, lwa rg that our submitqueue nevertheless uitpuilde of the helpful messages, but we have but apart from that news one more time in the spotlight. All that extra bandwidth can be used.

Advertisers have, in any case, the need for more and more data traffic. In 2003 by the industry limit of 40KB for a banner is too restrictive, find the advertisers: ‘everyone today has broadband and the faster speeds may well be used to the quality of the verkoopplaatjes to improve. The 36 photos from the flash animation on the site, which prove, incidentally, neatly 16KB to fit, while the simple bannertje above more than 60KB needs. Matter of priorities, shall we say

The link ‘nieuwssuggestie submission’ was the last seven days was used a lot. Like every week it produced a number of nice articles on, and as each week went by, a lot of the garbage in. Read on to discover what messages we have recycled.

Shot for open… source

Cool news of the Compiz-front. The three-dimensional desktop environment for Linux, which among other things, the new Ubuntu is included, is one of the ‘wodor’ with a plugin to the image, too, lwa cht three-dimensional. The drawback is that the 3d image is visible only if there is a red-green glasses are worn, what is the practical applicability significantly decreases. Only nice for years-zeventigfans, we found. On Ubuntu, is also working on a new tan, but more than enthusiastic efforts, we could not bring.

Tough language was released by Mandriva frontman Fran lwa ois Bancilhon, who in an open letter to Microsoft’s Steve Ballmer sent. Bancilhon had heard that the Nigerian government and 17,000 Classmate pcs from Mandriva had stripped, to Windows. The Mandriva-foreman appeared outraged at the «unethical» behaviour of Microsoft, but did at the same time very hard to not go into detail about it. Because Microsoft also comments refused, we have this classic round of mirth and mayhem that, at its best, to silly jokes about reverse 419 scams had led, but to let them pass.

Also fairly silly, it was joke that Apple in the Leopard OS clogged. The fresh operating system contains a special icon for computers that are not from the Apple factory for such machines is a monitor with a BSOD displayed. Two cases fell rather: it is the BSOD from the more than antique Windows 9x series and the operating system that is the most recent media attention due to undesirable blue screen got, understand, Mac OS X. that is What the Mac builders have an example to Reggie Fils-Aime of Nintendo: that was an interview I know that he is Sony’s Little Big Planet and fps’and the Xbox 360 as well. For example, the so also.

Antiques

When reading Microsoft Raises the Bar for Customer Service Excellence for Microsoft Dynamics Customers With Business Ready Customer Care, came to an abrupt end to the life of our Bullshit Alert™. The amount of marketingspeak that CNN on a single web page know to squeeze, knew, even almost to hide the fact that Microsoft now ten years support on CRM, ERP and Retail Management Solution-products to deliver. By the time we by stijlmuurbloempjes as ongoing road-map visibility through comprehensive statements of direction that give insight into the planned product innovations’ had struggled, the news was all old. Own fault, Redmond.

Also too old to publish the message about Australian government funding on a accuhemd. Researchers want a shirt develop that the movements of the carrier used for charging a battery, so that cell phone and mp3 player is never without a puncture. The army donated half of October, 4.4 million Australian dollars to the scientists to prove that this is even possible, because apparently, the project only on paper. We think, moreover, that it is in Australia lwa mostly much too hot to sit outside to move, but if the shirt ever get to Europe we’ll let you know.

Hot rods

The Californian teenager Shaun Malone got recently his driver’s license. As that enthusiastic new drivers it is fitting, he scored then a fat speeding ticket due to speeding. His father, a former agent, was not amused and installed a gps system in the car of his son, that prompt speeding ticket number two cashed. According to the paperwork, reed, Shaun 62 miles per hour where 45 was allowed, but the gps data told a different story. Of course, father and son now go to court, but experts expect that the gps device is inaccurate.

And now that we’re on the California lwa: it, few will be aware that there are whole pieces of that state to the ground burned to the ground. Several people made the suggestion for a news article about the shutdown of the production of series such as NCIS, but even more fun were the conspiracy theory lwa n scattered in the media appeared. In particular, the war in Iraq and Al Qaeda were responsible, reported tv station Fox News, for example, but the Wageningen professor Frits Mohren produced the most beautiful story: thanks to mobile telephony to penetrate people deeper in the woods, and they can, therefore in more and more places accidents with fire. We find that a strong argument for more wi-fi-phones — that will people to learn in the area of their base station.

As usual, there were also this week again a lot of links in the submit left. A large part of them kicked it to our news section, but traditionally, we had also a lot of aside.

So we got to hear that Apple has a staggering 800 employees, the lane message. The company is not in financial lwa le difficulties and will not restructure, but is simply not tolerate theft. By way of gift had every Apple employee an iPhone. Two months later, got all the early adopters a voucher for one hundred dollars, because the iPhone is significantly cheaper, and also the free of iPhones fell with their serial number within this refund program. A achthonderdtal employees had so cheerful a request and received a gift voucher to the value of one hundred dollars. This extra cost of 80,000 euros, the company in the wrong throat shot. To their, but not our surprise, could all the staff involved their piping suits.

Robert Anderson received his income from other sources. The American said in an interview with Wired that he was in command of the Motion Picture Association of America torrentsites — including the famous TorrentSpy — in order to skim the entertainment industry of «confidential information». The hacksessies provided Anderson in 2005, say $ 15,000. The MPAA claims that it is not aware of the fact that Anderson’s data illegally obtained.

Gadget-o-mania

For fun gadgets, Japan is the place to be. Gaming site Kotaku discovered a jewel for die-hard gamers. The Charger Bracelet consists of a simple black bracelet with a cable with a PSP, Nintendo DS or other portable device may be connected. The movement of the arm is then, like in some watches, used to generate electricity, to longer fun to ensure.

A more expensive, but not less ganz horny, gadget turned up in Hollywood. The movie companies start the move to digital images to convert. So claims Post Logic Studios, the first full feature film, digital has shot at a resolution of not less than 4096×2048 pixels. The so-called 4K cameras delivered per day around the 2TB of footage.

The End

Hitachi announced to stop the production of consumer pcs. That the systems for some time, only in Japan were for sale, the sales are not contributed, and since the average tweaker probably never seen a Hitachi-system has seen, seemed to be a listing on our frontpage to us not opportune.

Culture

«Refugees Welcome» is the Anglicism of the year 2015

The issue of refugees is all the rage. This is also reflected in the German language is reflected in: According to the «word of the year» also has the «Anglicism of the year» to do so.

The theme of the year 2015 is: «the refugees» was the word of the year is chosen, the word of the day is «do-gooder» and the Anglicism of the year is «Refugees Welcome». The Jury called the decision a «self-confident answer to the age-old ‘foreigners out!'». The term originated in the 1990s, but he had his final breakthrough until the year 2015. The Slogan broke away from its original activist context, and became the figurehead of a lived welcome. Today, we find the slogan on T-Shirts, flyers and stickers, and conveys to the every day, in Germany, incoming refugees, a Signal of openness to the world.

The second and the third place occupy the Wortendung «(e)xit» and the term «spoilers». The Wortendung comes from the term «Grexit», a fusion of Greece and Exit. Used for the first time, he was, as a Greek exit from the Euro area was discussed. With further Ausstiegsdiskussionen came more mergers: Spexit for Spain, Brexit for Britain, Eirexit for Ireland and the somewhat ironically-intentioned Säxit for Saxony. The latter coinage is a nod to the xenophobic Pegida movement and the right-wing extremism in the East of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Was for a long time THE specter of political reporting: the «Grexit», the possible departure of Greece from the Euro zone

The spoilers says that someone (undesirable) with the core content of a book or film-supplies — and this experience foreshadows the the — or one like yourself would have made. The word derives from the English Verb «to spoil», so to spoil. The Jury referred to «the spoilers» as a «beautiful proof of the fact that the German-speaking community, active and creative English Lehngut into German integrated».

Language in change

The Anglicism of the year (2014) was «Blackfacing»: the controversial practice, white people, dark-skinned make-up. For example, make up some carolers your face black in order to symbolize that one of the Holy Three kings, dark-skinned. The Anglicism of the year 2013 was the suffix «-gate» as a name for a scandal. This puts the suffix on the Watergate scandal from 1972 onwards: Under the presidency of Republican Richard Nixon broke FBI and CIA agents in the offices of the Democrats that stole secret documents and listened to the phone lines. Perhaps the most famous example is the «Nipplegate» of 2004, as during the Halbzeitshow of the Superbowl momentarily Janet Jackson’s breast on live television was to be seen. In 2012, the choice fell on «Crowdfunding». The word describes the possibility of the Internet in a specified time frame for a project to raise money to realize it.

Cyber-Crime

EU aims on the dark side of the net

In contrast to many other policy fields in the EU at least, the Minister of justice in concert. You want to network-crime together stronger fight. From Amsterdam Bernd Riegert.

Everything depends on everything else. On The Internet. The purchase of a bus ticket, the use of a fighter aircraft, the control system of a power plant or renting a car. Many areas of daily life, the economy, and the state trade find online. Data is exchanged via public or supposedly secure networks. That’s exactly what more and more Criminals, writes the European police office «Europol» in an analysis. Data theft, illegal trafficking, attacks on control systems have found more and more in the net instead. The more the life in the digital market shifts, the more Criminals, saboteurs and terrorists are attracted to. For crimes in the virtual space is true for perpetrator still the Motto «, big profits, little risk,» stated the Dutch Minister of justice Ard van der Steur to keep in mind. He was the current President of the Council of the EU at the Meeting of the EU Ministers of justice after Amsterdam invited.

Minister of justice Maas: More unlimited Trade

Approximately twelve percent of all people in the European Union, attracted by illegal activities on the Internet, so Cybercrime, threatened. This shows a survey by the EU Commission last year. 2013 was one out of every ten Internet users from fraud, data breaches or other network crimes have been affected, according to a study by a Washington thinktank. The is, however, based on information provided by the company McAfee, the security Software manufactures, so an interest in a certain scenario. McAfee estimated the annual damage caused by Cybercrime is created, the world on 400 billion U.S. dollars.

Unlimited criminal prosecution in the Depths of the network

The European Commission, the political administration of the EU, has in the past year to a Five-year Plan to fight Internet crime, organized crime and terrorism, are presented. This Plan works, the EU Ministers of justice now, piece by piece. «The Online world knows no national boundaries,» said Bundesjustizminister Heiko Maas (SPD) in Amsterdam. It is, among other things, to the EU database in the been years since the offences and the convicted perpetrator to be captured. Flaws of this system: actions of Non-EU citizens, the crimes on the territory of the Union have perpetrated, have not yet been fed. This is supposed to as soon as possible to change, request of the Minister.

Fortress of Europol: The Hague, from against the dark net

The cooperation of judicial and police authorities across the internal borders of the EU borders should be further improved, promised Bundesjustizminister Heiko Maas. «In cybercrime, the data are on servers and are national is no longer assigned. If we the Online Criminals do not constantly respond, we need the law enforcement network better.» Today, it is for example still a Problem to determine which law is to apply, if a German illegally via the Internet in Belgium weapons buys and the business via a web portal in Lithuania unwinds. True, then, German, Belgian or Lithuanian law in case of the seizure of evidence and data? Today, this is still unclear, and should now be standardized.

Scammers, Hackers, Child Molesters

To combat crime, the Internet and its not easily accessible offshoot, the Dark Net, wide, the European police office «Europol» in 2012 already, a private «centre for Netzkriminalität» in The Hague. The centre collects data and information on the latest methods of the perpetrators and advises national authorities in investigations. Also, always supra-national investigation teams are formed to cross against the boundless crime in the virtual world. «Europol» deals, according to Rob Wainwright, the Director of the authority, not only with ordinary fraud due to data Theft or the spread of malicious software and Trojans, but also with illegal content such as child pornography or terrorist Propaganda.

Also play an important role strategies against increasing Hacker attacks on power plants, water suppliers or authorities. A Trend is according to Europol, in an analysis that the Cyber-Criminals become increasingly more aggressive. Also, the waxes, the dark market is very fast. In the meantime, there have illegal service providers, their customers the execution of the criminal activities in the Internet online would offer. A criminal Service sector would arise. Increasingly use the Internet Criminals to encryption and concealment of identities to law enforcement to escape.

Self-protection against Internet attackers needed

In a bill, the EU Commission and the European Parliament shortly before Christmas under one roof have brought, for the first time, Europe-wide safety standards for the operators of search engines and Cloud data storage is set. This shall also apply to energy and water utilities, transport companies and banks. «The law represents an important step towards greater preparedness in the European information system», said the digital market, EU Commissioner Günther Oettinger. Still took many companies and authorities of the «digital Hygiene» not seriously enough, criticized the European police office «Europol».

Wireless Internet in Cuba (28.12.2015)

US President Barack Obama and Cuban Staatchef Castro had about a year ago, a historical approach of the arch-enemies of the days of the Cold war initiated. Since were travel and trade for Cuba in force, and also strokes in the United States and the Caribbean island from its list of Terrorstaaten. In July, both countries have their diplomatic ties back on.

The United States announced further improvements in the provisions of the trading with Cuba. Affected are air transport and the financial sector. But also the exchange of goods, for example, in the agricultural sector, should be simplified, said the Ministry of economic Affairs in Washington.
