    Dell S2716DG, 27" 2560x1440 144hz 1ms "G-Sync Gen II", DP+HDMI

    Can anyone comment on the colors? I know its a TN but I am upgrading for an Asus VG278H, which is an older model 120Hz 1080 TN panel. Never used an IPS display so I shouldn't be biased towards its color reproduction.

    What's the difference between all the various Qnix models?

    PWM for the Qnix looks to be around 156 Hz. I have found that I am affected by lower PWM and that it gives me headaches. My current monitor is an Asus VG278H PWM= 360hz @120hz Any opinions on whether I should be affected by PWM flickering on the Qnix?

    Ducky Shine 3 need a wrist rest

    Just picked up a Ducky Shine 3 keyboard and am looking for a nice wrist rest for it. My previous keyboards have included built-in wrist rests so I am partial to using one. I just find it more comfortable when gaming with the wrist rest. Any recommendations for a good keyboard wrist rest?

    Need recommendation - Desktop gaming rig audio upgrade

    With powered desktop speakers, how important is it that it has an RCA output for a sub? Is it common to connect the source to the sub first and then use the line level output of the sub to connect to the powered speaker pair?
