I bought both to try them out. I found the screen on the archos was washed out looking...no real blacks. The creative had a great screen. The sound on the archos was terrible! There is a constant buzzing or static sound present with good ear buds. The creative sounded better too.

I would check out the AOC website for detailed specs. I like the 2ms response time and 20,000,000:1 contrast ratio. You can also view 4 screens at once if needed.

Yep, it woks great for me in Windows 8. It actually works better than in Win 7 because it doesn't flicker when starting up, since it wasn't Windows Aero compatible. PSP9 is still a great photo enhancer, I still use it today. I wish Jasc was still creating it.

Your question is on point for me, too. Finally found a review where someone had both binos; concllusions was there was a "subtle" difference in low light for him. I finally purchased the "old" model. I ow) n Swarovski binos, too. The Porro prism variety and they are great in low light; so heavy (10X50that I have the lolster and mount them on a monopod to use them. Just could not wait and I love the weight, clartiy and eye relief of the old model 7430. It was worth not going for the 7294 for me.

30000:1 vs 50000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, as well as a 8ms vs 6ms response time. i believe the 460 also has 10W speakers as opposed to 5W

yes but archicad recommends a quad core, we do have them, it does meet the minimum requirements but it may be slow.

Nope. But I like the windows 8 since it is much more convenient for me to review pages. By the way, the machine I bought a month ago is running really good. I am an architect, and I can run five software at the same time without any problem. Strongly recommended.

Hey Elliot,Did you have the specialists at the stores calibrate the visual settings (brightness, contrast, etc.) to be the same on both the 650 and the 850? Alot of the time, the stores make the more expensive models look better in order to get you to buy the more expensive one. My advice, go bad to the stores and tell them to make the settings the same and then compare. I'd be very curious to know the result. Good luck.

I am am mainly interested in this unit as a 3D gaming monitor for a new PC (for Guild Wars 2/SW:ToR/Diablo 3 etc) the closest I can find is this ViewSonic V3D245 24-Inches LED 3D-Ready Monitor - Black So, so far the SONY is looking the better deal, I would appreciate as much comparison shopping data as possible if anyone has more specs etc, thank you.

The -W version allows the user to load courses onto the unit via a WiFi hotspot. This is handy when traveling, or a last minute invite to play Golf, and you're not near your Computer to sync. There are zero pros and cons while actually on a course. the -W also has a trackpad, instead of a joystick which has received numerous complaints, and their latest unit has now gone back to the joystick for moving the cursor. All in all, if both units are the same price, you should get it, but I have not found the difference between them enough for me to upgrade.

I have the Ipod touch and interested in the Archos 7.Unlike the ipod touch -You get almost double screen real estate, -can read email directly-replaceable battery.-More choices of video codecetc.

I happen to use both every day - the apple 27 inch at work, and the viewsonic at home.I prefer the viewsonic for the non-glossy finish, adjustable stand, and aesthetic. I'd buy it again in either case. The image quality is great on both monitors, so that wasn't a difference to consider here.

This is an old model. You can get the Archos 80 Titanium which is 8" or the archos 97 Titanium. They have faster processors and don't have problems with storage when you install apps.

Yep, bigger screen, and the 705 had no buttons on the face like the 605, but the 705 comes with a Sweet REMOTE, and it has MUTE ! Very nice.... luv the mute. I like the 705 better, I only use it for Dish network, and beware, Archos is all about selling software plug ins, so go to the archos website BEFORE you buy, and see how Much the plug in you want is gonna cost ya, Luckily for me the Dish "plug in" is free.... alot of the rest of the Device is locked out till you pay more Money ! and Have EXTRA patience when first turning them on outta the BOX, it takes several resets and trys, took about 20 minutes ! IT WILL COME ON... Yep, bigger screen, and the 705 had no buttons on the face like the 605, but the 705 comes with a Sweet REMOTE, and it has MUTE ! Very nice.... luv the mute.

I use the Thunderbolt display at work and the ViewSonic at home. Picture-wise, you can't go wrong with either one. I do like that the Apple has all of the connections, including USB and Ethernet through the TB port. Connect the power and TB and you are fully-docked and ready to go. If it was my own money, I wouldn't pay $280 for that, but I'm enjoying the convenience of it at work.

I have no idea, Although I'm willing to find out. AMD ATi is the better GPU card in my opinion but Nvidia has cornered this part of the market for a ahwile- AMD says that we can expect to see more monitors that support using 3D. I dont know if that means its AMD friendly though. Sorry I can't be of more help at the moment.
