lololol, im not a good photographer, but at least when I take my hands dun shake and I put some creativity into my shots like at different angles :X

Even my cui HTC One V can win my friend's Iphone 5s when the photos come out

 

[Ark Law]

No lah. That pic is definitely photoshop for vibrancy colors and make it look rich.

Like stupid SUPERRRRR AMOLED displays

Take note of Best Price in SLS.... My fren bought a powercolour 280x turbo duo from them. The packaging was open, seal on box was open, static bag was unsealed. Sold to my fren for $419. Told him that high chance its a returned item but he took it anyway.

When reach home, he cant use it. Then, he went over to my house and also cant be used. Benchmarks and games were lagging.

Tml gonna go back and get new one. If bo, then get refund and get from cybermind at $430... lol.. What a risk my fren wanna take.

 

[Hailgod]

Lols tot best buy cannot trust de as cited by many here, why even take the risk of going into ytd shop in the first place?

This user Holyxiaoxin posted this in Sony Z2 thread. I was pretty surprised M8 camera could turn out like this.

*Disclaimer: I'm total noob at taking photos, maybe that's why i think these are nice. But this basically changed my opinion on the M8 and just bought a set

Anyways here's the link,

https://www.flickr.com/photos/rt425/sets/72157642908546733/

I would say its fake, not possible to get this kind of image through ultra pixel. Here are some shots from my phone butterfly S, which is the same exact camera as the M8, just that it only have one camera. bear with my lousy photography skills ( at least it reflects a normal person taking pictures)

Backlight image:

Normal room lighting:

Slightly Darker areas:

Night picture (Exposure slightly turn down alittle cause the street light is too bright):

Lastly, Trying to emulate the picture taken by the sample:

Hahahaha in conclusion, I will say the samples are not from HTC M8 as my Butterfly S which have the same exact camera specs cannot get an image that is even close to the Samples. Unless you have a professional studio and all the proper lighting, you can get that kind of quality, if not you just get my average joe camera quality

Is best price not best buy. Best buy close shop liao. Best price is another shop from video pro. Same boss. Different management. Best price for me it has quite a number of amd products. But like what shadow mentioned. People return to them within 7 days for doa product they lazy change they just put back to shelves.

Should be a DOA card returned by another customer that they "re-shelved". I only recommend to my friends to buy from PCT, CM and Laser. CM won't be cheapest but 100% guarantee won't chop.

Your friend deserves it imo, learn buying from unreputable shop (video-noob) the hard way. One may say that TP used to have a rep for doing this, but that was long ago. They sell so much, they don't have time to entertain sh*t like this

You all should see how freaking fast tp stocks clear.

There are times their gpu shelves got nothing much. Last week entire fsp psu gone only left one 750w platinum aurum. Other psu also.

Now their aio cooler also all gone. Then best is you ask them when coming. They will tell you dont know.

Cpu also. 3470 3350p like hot cakes
I remember on tues while waiting for my colleagues pc components to bring out, they can convince 3 people to buy the corsair 750D, but i laughed at the price he gave them lol.

TP model is simple: clear stock asap, restock asap - rinse & repeat. If customer got noob face, try selling at SRP

I see this liao sian, my GPA only 3.6x http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/e...rses-should-i-choose-need-advice-4633760.html

Study if you can. If you think your job needs a degree holding go ahead.

Of cause a degree is better if you can study.

Bo bian, loads of areas dun hav stock... Can get refund jiu gd le.. My fren learnt his lesson.

 

[royfrosty]

Ask your friend go pc themes and ask if they have r9 280x.

TP only have the r9 280 iirc from msi.

The powercolor r9 280x must hunt.

 

[shadow84]

Swapped for a bnib 280x, must be take frm videopro... Gonna go home n test it.

 

[shadow84]

Tested out the 280x, seems to be working fine in BF4....
