On a 24" monitor you can get higher resolutions than 1920 x 1024 and higher refresh rates so quality will be better on the monitor if you mainly using to watch movies and TV programs rather than Computer work I think the TV will be fine.

some people only use 1920 x 1024 resultion any way if you do then not much difference. I am use a 40 HD Samsung TV on my Media centre here in BKK and I some times use this for other "computer work and it is fine but I still miss my super high res 23.5" monitor which is in storage back in Australia.

Cheaper in OZ by a fair bit on most components and the strong Australian dollars will help this even more. I say 20 -30% cheaper but that just my experience buying stuff here and in Melbourne. AU sites to check are www.msy.com.au and www.centrecom.com.au

And DTAC seems even worse than True so the ranking is:

1. AIS

2. True

3. DTAC

Discuss please

System offline during backups I suspect. 24 hour banking is a new concept, agree a system down message would be expected and normal. I guess we all need to wait until 2015 ASIAN sharpens the Thai banks. I think their in for a rude shock!

I have never used it but a friend at work tried this one and says it is ok. Give it a try its supposed to be free http://tunlr.net/ It not a VPN more like (unblock-us.com) and Unotelly (http://www.unotelly.com) which I think are US$4.95 a month.

I had True Internet installed last year before I had a work Permit no questions asked and TOT (Different Location) before that when I was not working again no questions asked.

Just install it as a second disk and access the information from it when needed but forget the WIN 7 OS.

As stated about you most likely need to do clean install and registration with Microsoft any way, so why not buy a new disk for this and use your old one as extra storage.

If you really trying to save money then try your existing hard drive in the new computer but be prepared for it to install all new drivers and other things for the new motherboard combination any way and it may not be 100% successful.

You most likely need to register with Microsoft as they build a key based on the software hardware combination. It is not like XP where you could just install over the top with 100% success rate.

Win 7 is a very clean OS and a legal version should never need to be reinstalled unlike earlier version of windows including WIN XP which always seem to run much better after a clean install.

If you do a search in this forum there are signal amplifiers you can purchase to boost your 3G/Mobile signal level so it usable for data just do a search of this forum.

Have you tried setting the resolution of the laptop screen /external screen to a lower setting maybe the external monitor is not able to display at the resolution and frequency selected?

I have a 20MBps TOT Fibre in Rayong at our factory and it really quick and delivers as per spec. Maybe there is something wrong either with the IT setup or the TOT link which needs fixing. We had a couple of issue with TOT where link has run slow and they have resolved issues reasonable quickly at least for Thailand. Have you discussed this with your IT people to check there not shaping your usage?

Just plug a ethernet cable from your one port router to a port on the old router then you can use the other ethernet ports. Note you cannot use the ADSL port you’re only using this as a switch. The better way is to do as Astra says change the router you already have to the 3BB user name and password.

I got the feeling this was some sort of technical out issue not sure why redirected to MICT message!!!. As it not happened to me on AIS but was talking to someone who was on True who had the problem. Any more feedback today from other users AIS DTAC True is it all ok now or still ongoing?

Try this site for flights http://www.momondo.com/ and either www.agoda.com or http://www.asiarooms.com/ don't pay to much for a hotel room you can get good rooms for around 1600THB including breakfast.

there are many many travel booking sites so have good look around you may find something better.

Sounds like some sort bandwidth shaping going on the the internet network connection. This will be outside your control. Will be one of the ISP involved I would say.

As you can top up online via carrier web site from anywhere at least with 12call and AIS you can on via credit card. I would think TRUE and DTAC would have the same facilities. It does not really matter where you are to keep the Sim current there just a question of who has the best deal to keep active.

My spin on coverage and I am using both AIS (private) and True (work)

1. AIS

2. TRUE

3. DTAC

I have staff here who keep their phones near the windows as DTAC have no in building coverage and we are on high floor near US Embassy not up county!!! with AIS and TRUE no issues.

If you can install you own phone line you can do anything you want!! if not move!

My only advice is do not get anything that completely cover your ears (like Headset for listening to Music as it very unnatural when you talk I had a Microsoft set like this and I gave them away.

I have used many different sort mainly Logitech and Plantronics never bothered with wireless as you are at a PC or Laptop any way and if you using video as well you cannot go far away from the PC. I do have a setup with the 42 TV and my Media Centre PC where Camera is on top of the TV this might be good for wireless headset as I currently using a long usb cable to connect to the PC.

The scanner that Astral is talking about is the sort you need Very HiRes but not sure if it will do the other format negatives and slides you have price was about US$700 when it was released not sure if it is available here in Thailand.

I believe it not legal to sell a locked phone in Thailand. Any they get unlocked quickly and cheaply anyway maybe that why it never done.

Yes you can open a savings account on a tourist visa but you have limited facilities some banks will not even give you internet banking on tourist visa just an ATM debit card. But yes every bank and every branch seems to have different rules. Kasikornbank and SCB are said to be the most Frang friendly! Bangkok Bank are bureaucratic even to business here in Thailand bu seem to have better rates if transfer from Thailand to OS also I like their internet banking. Just like in other countries.

I had an HP scanner a few years ago with add on unit for 35mm negatives or slides but to be honest the results were disappointing even at the highest resolution. I spoke several "photography experts" and they said only the very expensive professional scanners do a good job on negatives and slides. So my advice would find a professional photo shop here the can do it for you but only do a few first to test the quality of their work. I am not sure if the home scanners have improved that much to change any of what I said above. any one have any recent experiences to add?

This link on Wikipedia is interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-stop_flightW Used do Melbourne to LA then LA to Atlanta then return a week latter.

www.speedtest.net has two hosts in Bangkok one hosted by Thai Visa and the other by STS group. You can select one or the other before you run the speedtest when I test a few minutes ago Thai Visa 0.81 down and 2.6Mbps up but STS group gave me 4.9Mbps down and 2.71 Mbps up. the Thai Visa site seems overloaded at this time so is not a true test of your links speed.
