OkayKeybees

April 25th, 2011 No comments

OkayKeybees is a freeware keyboard remapper with a twist. You define what keys are always replaced or what keys are replaced only when a user defined modifier key is held. You can effectively “move” keys to either side of the keyboard or even effective disable keys (like the Windows key).

Dead Pixel Buddy

June 10th, 2009 No comments

This is a program for testing LCD screens for dead pixels.

Before trying to grasp the meaning of a dead pixel, first you need to understand the technology behind LCD displays. An LCD display is essentially made up of pixels. Each pixel is made up of red, blue and green valves. The valves in each colour either block or pass the light source. By manipulating the amount of light passed through, each pixel displays a distinctive colour on screen. Pixels consisting of these valves are what make up the image that is ultimately displayed on the screen. A typical monitor has millions of pixels. A dead pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct colour output. It may look like a tiny black spot on your screen, or any other colour that does not correspond to what the actual image should look like.

Dead Pixel Tester

June 9th, 2009 No comments

Dead Pixel Tester – TFT screens have thousands of pixels, on a 1024×768 monitor, there are three cells for each pixel – one each for red, green, and blue – which amounts to nearly 2.4 million cells (1024x768x 3 = 2,359,296). There´s only a slim chance that all of these will be perfect; more likely, some will be stuck on (creating a “bright” defect) or off (resulting in a “dark” defect). Simply select a color then closely inspect your monitor in each of the primary colors checking for pixels that are not operating as expected. Stuck pixels (always on) are easier to noticed than pixels that are not on due to their size (normally under .5mm).

RivaTuner

February 9th, 2009 No comments

RivaTuner is a powerful tweaking utility for NVIDIA based cards. All series of Detonator drivers have a lot of undocumented registry entries. Some of them don´t affect anything, but some are very useful. In general they cannot give you big performance boots but they can improve image quality and solve some compatibility problems. This utility will help you to change all undocumented registry entries.
