Hi all, I have recently purchased an AOC I2769VM 27" IPS Monitor. I am now on the hunt for a low-profile VESA wall bracket that will accommodate the monitor. The Vesa measurements on the back of the monitor are 75mm x 75mm. I would want a low profile bracket that keeps the monitor as close...

I was wondering whether you could purchase a 24-30 inch computer monitor with USB connections on the side of that monitor and could that monitor be fixed flat on the wall? If anybody knows whether this is possible, can I ask these questions: 1. Does PC specialist sell these types of monitor...

I have always had a laptop but now I want to get a desktop. I'm not a massive gamer but would like the opportunity for it to be there for light gaming perhaps. I would definitely want an i7, 16 GB RAM and one of the drives to be a solid-state drive as per the signature for my laptop below...

Just recently, I had an NVIDIA Driver update come up on my laptop ready to install. Before I install it, I just wanted to know that I'm doing the right thing by asking any expert in here if I should go ahead and update. The link is below...

I am disabled and have recently bought a Vortex III from PC Specialist. I use a software called 'SmartNav.' This allows me to use the mouse without needing to use my hands. In the software there is a part called the 'Dwell Clicker.' This allows me to either left click, right click or...

I'm hoping that somebody has experienced this problem before and knows exactly how to rectify it. If anyone can solve this for me or tell me where I am going wrong, I will owe them a great deal of gratitude for their knowledge. I have tried everything to get this to work. My operating...

I am slightly concerned about something. I bought a Vortex III and received it on 19th November last year. It came with the one month free laptop insurance including accidental damage and theft. I was told by PC Specialist in these forums that when the month ran out, I would receive an email...

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me. I originally set up the Realtek HD audio manager and everything worked fine including the subwoofer on my new Vortex III. A friend of mine has since looked at my system via remote access and he uninstalled the 'THX TruStudio PRO' software. I have since...

A man goes to the doctor and in one ear he has a cucumber, in the other ear he has a banana and in each nostril, he has a carrot. He then asks the doctor "what's wrong with me doctor?" The doctor then replies, "I don't think you're eating properly." ---------------------------------------- A...

Does anybody know how to get the subwoofer working in the Realtek HD Audio Manager within a Vortex III? I have tried 5.1 and 7.1 speaker configurations. Everything is checked and all the other speakers have sound coming out of them except the subwoofer. I had tried pressing Fn+5 to turn on...

I have a CD named 'Nero 10 multimedia' that came with my new Vortex III. Would this have been put on the computer beforehand or would it need to be put on by myself? When typing 'Nero 10 multimedia' into the start menu, nothing shows up. So what is this software and what does it do? The other...

I know this may have been answered before but I still have not found out how to change the colour of the backlit keyboard on my brand-new Vortex III. Is there an actual program where it can be done in that or is it just a matter of pressing function keys? Thank you

I have just bought a brand-new Vortex III laptop. What I would like is for somebody to give me some hints on how to set all the speakers and the sub woofer to their optimum performances. Do I need to choose surroundsound or anything like that? Ideally, it would be great to hear from Vortex...

Have just started to put programs on my brand-new Vortex III 17.3 inch laptop. I should explain, my main program that I use is Dragon NaturallySpeaking speech Recognition software as I cannot use my hands. For this I use an external microphone. Whenever my computer plays a sound, I'm getting...

This question may have been answered before but I would just like clarification please. If you take the free one month laptop insurance, does the insurance company ring you after that period or do you have to ring them? It would be nice to hear from people who have had this option in the past...

After extensive reading I believe I've made up my mind at the last. There are just a couple of questions to put to rest. 1. I'm going for the Vortex 3. If I went for the NVIDIA GTX 675M graphics card, if I wanted to at a later date, could I upgrade to the 680M? 2. What do most...

I want honest opinions here please. I also want you to forget the question; "what do you want to use the laptop for" I simply want to know what differences I will notice when using these laptops and comparing the two specifications below. I also want to know the limitations between the two or...
