    Job termination suggestion

    So OK, 300 series MB is not compatible with 200. However, who did invent this awkward naming scheme? I read the processor socket support 1151, I read 1151 on motherboard, buy them, and now I learn that this combination won't work? Why don't they just bumped the socket number for 8th gen? 1152...

    34" Ultrawide isn't THAT amazing...

    "Game design limitations"? This is pretty grandiose name for what appears to be a trivial bug -- the absence of FOV slider widget in the game settings. Yes, I ignored those incoherent explanations how one have to go into some confusing dance between 16:9 and 21:9. You have introduced a lot of...

    34" Ultrawide isn't THAT amazing...

    Since you correctly depicted how bigger screen is supposed to expand field of view I don't know what we are arguing. You are uncomfortable with vertical elements in some scenes? Those are not going to go away, I'm afraid. There would definitely be helicopters and aliens making a nuisance from...

    34" Ultrawide isn't THAT amazing...

    Please don't use the word "immersive" together with "cinematic". This is not 1950s anymore; today, anybody can buy humongous 40" 4K monitor and have IMAX like experience at the desk. Speaking of immersion, you have mentioned VR, but are you aware of the fact that most VR sets feature something...

    34" Ultrawide isn't THAT amazing...

    If you sit close enough, you just waste screen estate on the sides, which would be out of field of view. Human FOV is around 4:3 this is trivial anatomic fact. Want an ultimate argument why "cinematic" aspect ratio is moronic? Humans have 2 eyes. Each individual eyeball, being spherical, has a...

    Why are companies like Dell, Asus, iiyama and NEC not making 40" 4K monitors

    Why do you think game developers care what FOV you use? For them it is just a trivial number, and if a user wants to adjust their FOV to their preference it is just silly not to allow to. Think about it: you have majestic 40" UHD in front of you and the FOV calculation method gives crappy FOV...

    Why are companies like Dell, Asus, iiyama and NEC not making 40" 4K monitors

    Regarding BGR pixel arrangement, can't it be that some giddy assembly worker at the factory attached panel upside down? (And QA inspecting it lost their magnified glass that day?)

    AOC U3477PQU Black 34" 5ms UltraWide WQHD LED IPS "Shell Shocker" $549

    And it gives you exercise. First, you need to rotate it -- a workout for your arm muscles. Then you need to stand up to read stuff at the top of the screen. They need to market it as "healthy choice" and charge a premium for it. Wait a minute... those short monitors are already more expensive...

    AOC Monitor 34" 3440x1440 Res 21:9 - $499.98 Walmart + Free Shipping

    I want to see it in portrait mode. One may think that it would be so ridiculously tall and narrow, that manufacturer should give $30 rebate for such a "feature".

    "Modern" 30 inch 16:10?

    Just repeated history. 30" 16:10 Apple Cinema display was precursor for those cheaper knockouts like 3007wfp mentioned by OP. Microsoft surface studio is pretty impressive but pricey gadget, so there is room for competition.

    "Modern" 30 inch 16:10?

    Microsoft surface pro is 3:2, which is taller than 16:10. It is a matter of time before mainstream display manufacturers wake up to the reality that demand for 3:2 large displays is much higher than for ultrawides.

    Jet.com After discount and code - Zotac 1070 mini - $353.09 Gigabyte 1070 mini - $362.50

    Same billing address. Same shipping address. Browser connected via same ip address. I'm too lazy to attempt a clean purchase, but I'm not paying full price knowing that they sell it for less.

    They have implemented some clever coupon rejection. I have tried different card, different account for my wife, yet "SHOP10" is no go.

    Videocard length

    Power is energy per time unit. In other words "how fast" is already incorporated into the power concept. Certainly, you didn't mean dividing power by time once more -- that "power acceleration" would be nonsensical. I get a feeling that you are taking about thermal flows, and that you imply...
