    LG Announces 16:18 monitor (28MQ780)

    We’ll the requirement would As a programmer I like to just have a ton of screen real estate. 3 widescreens is too wide and not tall enough. Widescreen monitors in portrait mode are just not wide enough for useful work. I had settled on two widescreens but I didn’t love that setup either. In...

    Oh snap. It’s probably the same employees walking their Dell laptops between jobs, heh.

    LG 34WK95U

    A follow-up: I originally requested the repair on 5/19. It's 6/20 and I have yet to receive my repaired monitor. The status is "Progress" whatever that means. LG's last communication to me was on 6/6 that they received the product. It only took that long to get it to them because it took forever...

    LG 34WK95U

    I bought two of these displays in January and have been fighting with burn-in on both of them. The burn-in is particularly bad when the display has a lot of gray on screen and lasts for way more than a few minutes. I've had to run a youtube video that cycles colors for hours to get the burn-in...

    Acer Nitro XV273K - 27", 4k, 144Hz, Strobing, 10-bit, 97%+ DCI-P3, HDR 400, Freesync/"Gsync"

    There's a $200 reason in this case (assuming they ever launch these monitors at the prices they've been quoting)

    Also there are a few 4K 24” monitors such as the Dell P2415Q http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=24-260-237&ignorebbr=true

    In the display settings you can move the portrait monitor up and down to adjust where the mouse handoff happens. I assume that’s what you want?

    Acer Nitro XV273K - 27", 4k, 144Hz, Strobing, 10-bit, 97%+ DCI-P3, HDR 400, Freesync/"Gsync"

    I don’t understand this line of thinking although I often hear it. You can use an an Nvidia card with this monitor. I don’t want gsync and I don’t want to pay for it. I have an RTX 2080 Ti and I’ll be buying this monitor because: I require 4K on the desktop because I never want to see another...

    I'll talk about it as soon as I can BUY the freaking thing. :)

    Cooling question - Pull upwards or push downwards?

    No, not really, that's a good point. The case has negative air pressure and I had totally forgotten about the air filters. I went ahead and ordered two air filters and two more fans for the hard-drive cages to act as intakes. It probably would have made more sense to remove one of the exhaust...

    Cooling question - Pull upwards or push downwards?

    It was the RPMs and not the temps. The case is wide open and everything is running very cool. That's what I was talking about when I said I fixed it using ipmitool, that was to change the lower sensor threshold for the fan RPMs.

    Cooling question - Pull upwards or push downwards?

    There isn't a good place in this case to put 2 all-in-one coolers for the dual procs. Perhaps a custom water cooling loop would have worked well but I haven't learned how to do that yet! Maybe my next PC.
