Dell's Misleading Graphics Card Buying Advice

Posted by samzenpus on from the you-should-know-better dept.

Barence writes "Dell's website includes a guide to graphics cards for PC novices which contains a dangerous chunk of misinformation. The monitor on the left, labelled as a PC that uses a 'standard graphics card,' is displaying a Windows desktop that's washed out and blurry. The seemingly identical Dell TFT on the right, powered by a 'high-end graphics card,' is showing the same desktop – but this time it's much sharper and more vivid. They're both outputting at the same resolution."

    Whos fault is this really?

    We elected the politicians, we put them in office, we empowered them to look out for Corporations...

    When a congress person feels the EPA is "overreaching", it is a tell that perhaps they are not looking out for the little man, instead they are looking out for the businesses that would rather we cough up their poison than filter it from the air.
