lol, it will be awesome because i'll have audio again :p. btw, you did know that going from VGA to HDMI is really only going from 1080i to 1080p. the difference between 1080i and 1080p is the screen refresh rate.

1080i - refresh rate is actually 30Hz instead of 60Hz. However, it gives the impression that it is running at 60Hz because every other line on the monitor is being refreshed rather than every line being refreshed simeltaneously. Thus being called an "interlaced" refresh rate and the i in 1080i is essentially being used to indicate that it is the interlaced refresh rate of 60Hz with an actual refresh rate of 60Hz

1080p - this is a progressive refresh rate of 60Hz. basically, the refresh rate of the display is being simeltaneously refreshed at 60Hz instead of every other line being refreshed.

but really, the reason why i want to go with the HDMI isn't because of the 1080p support, but rather because of the necessity for audio when playing my 360 :p.

what kind of video card do you have? if you have an NVIDIA based gfx card, NVIDIA does not officially support DVI to HDMI cables if it is an 8 series gfx card or below. However, many people are able to use such a cable provided that they use a dual-link DVI to HDMI cable converter. and even still, NVIDIA still does not guarantee that this is a solution, and that pretty much any other solution is a 3rd party solution and not supported by NVIDIA.

However, if you have a 9 series or higher gfx card, this is going to work no problem. NVIDIA still recommends that you use a dual-link DVI to HDMI cable for these cards in order to get 1080p support out of the display. otherwise, you are going to have poor image quality on a 1080p resolution, or you will not have the ability to get into 1080p mode. and some of the 9 series and GTX200 series cards even have their own dedicated HDMI output as well for this.

so will there be a noticeable viewing difference between sony 52" hdtv 1080p that is rated at 120Hz vs. 60Hz? Or would one be just paying an extra $500 for an extra 60Hz for no "noticeable" difference?

inquiring minds would like to know.

xrider01

lol. tbh, idk if that 120Hz is interlaced or progressive.

and from what i've read around in couple different tech forums the best way to sum it up with a 120Hz display is by having "bionic eyes"

don't the french have a four day work week???

if you go to best buy or where ever you will deffinitly see a difference between a regular 60 hz 1080p lcd tv and one that has 120. i think transformers looks freakin awesome in 120hz but then again almost anything else looks a little fake. i would still rather have a high end plasma then LCD

Detrich

hmm.... i'm waiting for the 120Hz Sony LCD 52" to drop in price. :P

TGIF everyone!!! This is a great weekend.
Tomorrow is the Dyno Day and it is also the start of the 24 hours of Daytona. By the way the Speedsource RX-8 #70 car got the pole for the second time and will try to repeat its victory from last year.

(Redirected from Recycled water)
Jump to: navigation, search

Warning sign in Santa Monica, California, where reclaimed water is used to irrigate plants in public parks.Reclaimed water, sometimes called recycled water, is former wastewater (sewage) that has been treated to remove solids and certain impurities, and then allowed to recharge the aquifer rather than being discharged to surface water. This recharging is often done by using the treated wastewater for irrigation. In most locations, it is only intended to be used for nonpotable uses, such as irrigation, dust control, and fire suppression, and there is controversy about possible health and environmental effects for those uses. In some locations (NOT IN THE UNITED STATES), it is given more advanced treatment [1] and is used indirectly for drinking

not sure where the topic came from but parts of ontario i think have signs that say the landscape is useing reclaimed water. the school districts i am working with all also are in talks with the cities becasue we are doing some artifical stadiums and you can not cool the turf with that kind of water becasue it breeds bacteria.

Unreal_Speed

I talked to my Civil Engineering friend that works for our county of San Bernardino. That reclaimed water once it has been treated (means going thru the process of becoming reclaimed water) does not breed bacteria. If you do put chlorine in it, it can be used for drinking water.

scremn8

^^ but are they using it for drinking water. can you find out from him if
they are doing it in cali..
the reports i read said no, but glen, says yes.. show me proof.

all i know is what the rep told us, they use it on real turf and it is fine but it can not or should not be used on artifical turf.

that sounds fishy michael?
