    Using a Samsung 43" 4K TV as a monitor but having issues with displaying text correctly

    I just purchased a Samsung Q60 43" 4K TV to use as my primary display. Previously I was using another 43" 4K display (LG 43MU79-B) and had virtually no issues with using it as a monitor out of the box. I am replacing it with this Samsung since it recently got damaged in transit and I happen to...

    DOTA 2 Players Robbed At Gunpoint While Livestreaming

    I stopped playing dota 2 a while ago because of the bad community, but this gives me hope.

    vertical dotted lines throughout monitor - need replacement?

    Recently there have been vertical dashed lines that appear to be "moving" upward on my ZR2740W, connected via DP. My other monitor, a U2711 connected via DVI, doesn't seem to have this problem. They are virtually invisible when I am a few feet away from the monitor, but become visible if I am...

    The Threat Facing Online Comments

    Comments should be removed if they are clearly flaming, trolling, or blatantly off topic political banter, and that is something that does happen a lot. Several posts above mine are evidence of the latter offense, but sometimes the conversation can be surprisingly civil and insightful. There is...

    Steam In-Home Streaming Now Available To Everyone

    I just attempted this on my 5 year old laptop with Linux Mint. I think in the future this could be quite amazing, especially if they manage to get this to work over the internet, but it seems a little limited right now in my usage case. Every game I attempted to stream had some noticeable amount...

    WII U 32gb $200

    If this thread is any indication, most of the hate is coming from people who have never played the games or owned the console. Furthermore this is [H] after all so a lot of people here believe specs are important, even though there is really nothing wrong with how games like Super Mario 3D World...

    I must admit, these pictures are making 21:9 displays look much better than I gave them credit for.

    Sales Tanking, Nintendo Turns to Action Figurines

    You are joking, right? Disregarding the plethora of such comments on this forum alone for the Wii U, it was a very common disparaging remark against Nintendo when the N64 and Gamecube performed relatively poorly sales wise. I am calling it out because no matter how many times it is said...

    Steam Hardware & Software Survey: April 2014

    This is just a guess but maybe it is because many users are starting to switch to SSDs as their primary storage for games, and the drive steam is installed on may be the only drive that counts in the survey, and of course very few users own 1TB+ SSDs. I myself store all my games on an SSD now...

    Accused Pirate Wins Extortion Case Against Copyright Trolls

    Anyone else bothered by the fact that the firm had to pay a mere $40,000 for losing? I remember copyright holders being awarded up to $500,000+ in damages from just one person, while in this case the law firm allegedly attempted to extort thousands of people.

    Dark Souls 2 PC - April 25, 2014

    Having just beaten the final boss, I felt the game was good overall but a downgrade compared to Dark Souls 1. On a technical level it is far better as far as the PC version goes of course and the interface and online play feel more streamlined this time around, but the gameplay felt like a step...

    Dark Souls 2 PC - April 25, 2014

    Another update, for some reason both automatic blocking and sprinting are enabled by default. These tend to be more of a hinderance than a benefit, so press X and M to disable them both when you start the came and check your key bindings. Otherwise I have no problems with the default controls.

    Dark Souls 2 PC - April 25, 2014

    I just loaded up the game and started the opening area. Here are my impressions so far: -Graphics and performance seem to be far better than in Dark Souls 1 even with DSFix. Basically, Durante's article on PC Gamer was accurate but it needs to be seen to be believed. I am running max settings...
