Guys, I just got my CQ40 125AX yesterday and it's working great! Only that, it has really bad blurry video playback. But it looks fantastic on games and websites. Any idea why is this happening?
And the battery, what is the way to preserve a li ion battery? I just charged it all the way up, and drained it. Now it's fully charged again. I think I will work it to 40% and keep it.. And when it's full, leaving it in the machine will lower it's life cycle?
I got mine for RM2399. 2GB ram and OEM Windows home Premium.
I'm still considering the warranty at RM259 for 3 years. Hmmm. What do you guys think?

QUOTE(shady @ Sep 26 2008, 06:41 PM) What type of video and resolution. What software are you using? To preserve, never drain it to 0% and keep it at full charge all the time. Good price there. if you plan to use for more than a year, y not upgrade to 3 years. AVI and DAT .. reso is at 1280x800 . I'm using klite codec pack and windows media player to play. For the batt, luckily I charged it up at 10%. Argh, damn. Oh well. Oh, anyway, any softwares to check the temperature for this model? heh. Thanks for replying shady, cheers mate! |

QUOTE(shady @ Sep 26 2008, 07:10 PM) not sure why your video is blurry. Maybe the bitrate is low. BTW, i played 4GB HD movies and all looking super sharp with nice sound. Use HDMI and plug to LCD TV more cunn  I use Everest to check. Hardware monitor also can support I think. Nice sound!? Dude, you sure!? from the speakers? the speakers are just, mediocre i think. Anyway, I just downloaded a HD sample from microsoft, and yes. It's all crisp and nice. |

QUOTE(shady @ Oct 7 2008, 05:09 PM) Why not test some games and report back here?  Btw, I have tested AMD Fusion Gaming Utility. It works well with AMD Overdrive. You guys might wana try them. Download links in the first post. When I open AMD fusion gaming Utility, a message box popped up asking me to - Please run Auto Tune in Catalyst Control Center to overclock your GPO - Please run Auto Clock in Overdrive to overclock your CPU. I couldn't find Auto tune in CCC and i while im at Overdrive, I can't start overclocking it. any idea why shady? |
