    4k or 1440p monitors

    I bought dual Dell U2719DC and I just setup one of the monitor up. While it is better than the monitors I have, it is showing some blending of blackness or dimness at all the edges of the screen. I just took a photo with my phone, not sure if this picture shows what I mean, but posting it...

    4k or 1440p monitors

    I ordered two of the U2719DC monitors from Dell. Hoping it would serve me well for the next 4 years before I upgrade to 4k monitors. I am also planning to use these as external monitors to hook up my laptops (Macbook pro or Surface book). If I do not like the new monitors, I might have to end...

    Building a new computer, with $2000+ budget

    Ok, Corsair Vengeance LP it is. I prefer air cooling, and maybe for my next build I will look into water cooling. Thanks for the suggestion though, I looked up on the H80 and H100, I had no idea things improved on the water cooling for people who want easier installation. The PH-TC14PE...

    Building a new computer, with $2000+ budget

    Ok, I will check out HD7950. The main purpose of the new computer is software development and some VMs, I probably will have 2 or 3 visual studio instances and I occasionally launch a VM for testing (for like 10 to 20 mins and I shut down the VM, VMs are not run permanently). I do video...

    Building a new computer, with $2000+ budget
