I received my new BOLT on Wednesday as was the indication on when it was shipped. Super delivery. In fact my UPS guy said to me when he rang my bell for me to sign for the BOLT and I quote " The beast is here " How he know no idea.
I replaced my HP ENVY Phoenix with this 'beast' which then goes to my son, if he only knew what I have now Product packing was super, unpacking took 2 minutes, one box with CD's and docs in binder which is pretty impressive by itself, shows customer care. Have not read everything yet but will. The system was in a plastic large bag to prevent any scratching and on top of the box when you opened it was protective Styrofoam which also was on the bottom of the system for protection in shipping. Setup was a breeze, fastest I can ever recall of any system I ever set up over 30 years. Turned her on and she purred like my Infiniti G37x and BAM she was up and running. Great job on that guys. The system did one or 2 updates, video driver and something else, but that was it. The noise that I have read about and spoke about from the fan is noticeable but not a major issue. Now it's off to install some software etc. and see what she can do. ![]() BOLT sitting next to my HP ENVY Phoenix ![]() The CD's which came with the system ![]() BOLT and my HP office jet printer ![]() following viewing DS website running the BOLT with my new HP IPS display. ![]() The Cert. ![]() |

I had to restore the system due to some strange stuff that started happening day 2, prior to me installing my system security. But all is ok now. Working on new keyboard and mouse. Also installed older games from steam which I had like COD series etc. Not going to BF4 or COD ghosts yet

Not sure if that is a video card issue, perhaps something with your display cable or color/visual settings.

There are automated computer monitor calibration tools. An artist at a company I used to work at used this brand to calibrate monitors: http://www.amazon.com/Datacolor-Spyder4Express-S4X100-Display-Calibration/dp/B006TF3746/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1388360130&sr=1-1&keywords=computer+monitor+calibration
If you scroll down you can compare the features of the different models from them. Edited by danjw1 - 29 Dec 2013 at 3:41pm |

Just wondering if you have had any issues gaming with this or anything else mike. I got the same monitor you got as well after i seen your configuration earlier and read some other reviews as well. I Got a really good deal. Please update and let us know, it would be very appreciated.

I have both BF4 and COD Ghosts, completed BF4 single player and almost done on Ghosts single player no problems at all, over all very happy with the system and the display |
