    Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB CRT Monitor in 2026

    I had one of these back in the day but not such an optimized setup (DaC to short vga cable). I am curious does it actually look better at max res? I remember it looking better at slightly lower than max res because it couldn’t actually resolve all the detail. Could have been a limitation of my...

    LG Electronics Announces U.S. Pricing and Availability for World's First Native 1000Hz Full HD Gaming Monitor

    Only interesting if used for dynamic blanking / crt like simulation in hardware at all refresh rates / vrr, which this does not appear to be. That is to say it should be able to accept a 80-140 fluctuating vrr signal, map that to 1000hz, use a consistent scan line blanking algorithm and you get...

    One monitor in a 3 monitor setup wakes to black screen others are OK

    Yeah I have a smart plug on the Aoc. This issue has been around for years now but strangely it didn’t happen for many years on both the Aoc and Gigabyte. I thought firmware fixes would fix it but there are no more updates for the gigabyte and not sure if aoc would ever issue firmware updates. I...

    So why cards?

    When I first read the title of this topic, I thought this would be about a similar idea I have had for a while but probably in the exact opposite direction. Rather than thinking we should squeeze GpUs into a socket that is fighting for horizontal layout space on a motherboard, I was thinking it...

    One monitor in a 3 monitor setup wakes to black screen others are OK

    I have 2 different setups with this issue - dual or triple monitor where one monitor does not wake up. Win + ctrl + shift + B does not wake them up requires a power on to wake up. In the case of an older AOC monitor I have to unplug it, the power button on the under side does not wake it back...

    What Is Your Personal Favorite Video Card of All Time?

    I had Voodoo 2 in SLI as well and while it was great I was also an image quality guy and was actually quite happy when all in 1 video cards meant you didn’t need 3 slots used and did not have to settle for imperfect image quality. 3dfx made you realize that 3d pc gaming was going to be awesome...

    Steam machine / steam cube / GabeCube

    Absolutely, and that’s what I think people should do. I can appreciate the neat design touches - integrated high quality wifi and steam controller networking / antennas support, light bar , remote on / off and in particular the tighter integration of steamos with that motherboard and integrated...

    Steam machine / steam cube / GabeCube

    The steam machine are Valve’s kryptonite. When they announced this it almost made sense, now it just seems insane. I think they would have been better off just selling a barebones case and mini itx mobo with a bundled steamos for that platform . Let people plugin their own cpu ram and gpu or...

    What exactly happened to 3dfx??

    Since this god tier necro deserves some fresh content, it seems that at least 2 senior engineers/ architects from the 3dfx days are still with Nvidia, lending credence to the theory that there is long term 3dfx dna in modern GPUs: William Newhall Former GPU architect at 3dfx (1997–2000), 25...

    Elden Ring Nightreign

    Agreed - they must have been pleased (5 million copies * $40) although an Elden ring2 + nightreign mode built-in would be crazy good since it would be available to everyone who bought the game. I hope they are working on it.

    Steam Frame

    Unfortunately this thing has a SOC, RAM and storage despite being a PC-first headset. If it releases with primo 16GB LPDDR5x ram and 256gb/1tb options that is an expensive component list for someone mainly using it for PC vr.

    New TCL QD Mini LED monitors 27" QHD and UHD

    Backlight array control / controller logic and overall color is make or break in mini led like this but the potential 2000:1 native contrast and higher refresh rates should give these monitors a chance to offer value in this space. Look forward to the reviews and measurements and comparisons to...

    Moving from UHS-I SD cards to SD Express cards

    Just to point out to anyone else looking at this thread. I would be extremely wary of SD as an only backup solution, they typically have very low write endurance and a history of poor reliability with a few exceptions. Given more suitable options in this thread people considering this option...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I see what you’re trying to do - only scale the text using the legacy universal text-only dpi setting. That option is one setting only for all monitors. I won’t comment further on the downsides of that since I’m sure you’re already aware and to each their own, but I misread your comments to be...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Thanks for your impressions. You should still set per monitor dpi scale using the multiple monitors section of display settings (at least I still can) or using a utility. The constant drive to simplify the settings dialog has dumbed things down by default, but the OS is capable of setting them...
