    Has anyone found a similar monitor that's not curved? Or whether or not it's weird to use a curved monitor next to a flat one I have a 27" 1440p TN with gsync, and I'm looking for a monitor to complement it, I'm looking for 27" 1440p VA or IPs, and at least 72 hz so it can smoothly display...

    So there has to be some problem using these disks in a zpool, one has 1.75k checksum errors and one has 1.53k. I just got 2x NESN when they were $140. Long story short, one drive already threw 321 ZFS CKSUM errors, should I return it? I ran HDSentinel write then read surface test, came back...

    Oh shoot I completely missed that detail. Yeah, I have a feeling most routers are not going to perform well for 4k streaming here. Also I forget that streaming stability has a lot to do with clients. A good client with a big enough buffer can handle a crappy stream like that hosted by a router.

    Uhhh if we are talking hard disk through put and raw network throughput, those are easily and order of magnitude higher than what is needed for 4k video. Wifi is a completely different story. Theoretically something as old as 802.11n is fast enough, but you really need high quality gear, because...

    Leave BluRay as MKV or convert to MP4

    MKV and MP4 are strictly container formats. You can have .mkv and .mp4 files that have the exact same video and audio. Asking if you want to switch between the two is like saying, should I wrap my sandwich in a ziplock or foil? Either way it's the same sandwich. If you're using plex on a device...

    2016 4k TVs suitable for movies and gaming?

    I tried literally six different redmere cables, three different types X two lengths, and of those six cables I bought two each. None worked. Then I brought my source (gtx 1070) to best buy and tried all twelve cables on two different displays. None worked. Also tried six different cables...

    2016 4k TVs suitable for movies and gaming?

    Actually, I remembered it completely wrong. The monitor went up to 4k 60hz but almost every HDMI cable over 7ft that I tried did not work past 30hz. I ended up buying an HDMI over fiber optic cable that was way too expensive to get the distance I wanted (50ft). After I tested it I returned the...

    2016 4k TVs suitable for movies and gaming?

    Isn't the highest HDMI spec rated for 18gbps 4k 120hz full color/hdr? I understand there's a lot technically wrong with that sentence, like what exactly is meant by HDMI spec or lack thereof, but I did successfully test 4k 120hz over HDMI to a Samsung monitor, I have no idea what it was doing...

    2016 4k TVs suitable for movies and gaming?

    I'm looking for a TV that's *actually* 120hz, meaning it can accept a 120hz signal and display or natively. Not sure if such a set even exists.

    2016 4k TVs suitable for movies and gaming?

    It doesn't have to be perfect for gaming, I understand that 4k is new and there are going to be compromises. I game primarily on pc and the TV for gaming is more casual. I don't care if it's a VA panel with some blue, I just don't want 250ms input lag. Regarding judder, it does bother me.

    2016 4k TVs suitable for movies and gaming?

    It's time to replace my old TV and I'm beginning to do some research in preparation for black friday. I'm looking for a 4k TV that could be good for both movies and gaming. For movies, it has to be able to play 24fps movies at the correct frame rate. I'm not 100% certain but does this mean I...

    Finding USB keys with decent random 4k r/w performance

    There are a lot of garbage USB keys out there. There are also some that are like mini-ssds and priced accordingly, e.g. corsair gtx. Anandtech has done some reviews, but they are so few and far between that the well-reviewed keys I want are not even available any more. I'm looking for a USB I...

    Please Delete!

    True, some backups are better than no backups, but without ECC, backups on a non-zfs filesystem would probably be safer. It depends on what you want to use freenas for, if you want to use it for your backups, I would get ECC to be safe. If you are using it to host files that are being backed up...

    Please Delete!

    I feel like freenas is not something you just jump into lightly. Unless you are an experienced sysadmin, and unless you have experience with zfs and bsd, be prepared to spend a ton of time figuring out how to do anything. If you enjoy that, that's fine, just be aware what you're getting into...

    AIO with quietest pump

    Getting an AIO is not really getting your feet wet, because it's all done for you. It's just different from air coolers. The main purpose of water coolers is that they let you get cooler than air, thus getting a higher overclock. On air, you will reach some maximum overclock while keeping...

    "AMD, Roy Taylor, the Nano, and the Press" By Kyle Bennet

    The only thing they released since then is 380X...the rest are reviews of old cards. Nothing new is coming out, so I guess the void has to be filled with something. I would just have expected [H] to be a little cooler based on the strong words they used in September.

    Amd overclockers dream.

    Nvidia is quiet because they don't need to say anything. Their market share is growing and they're actually making money. AMD is only in the game because they juice the crap out of their cards and sell them at a discount. AMD needs to come out with something new and great, because if...

    Good gaming headphones around $150

    In this price range you have to compromise between "positioning" and bass. Positioning is good in open back headphones, which you picked, but bass is weak. I don't have direct experience with the DT990, but I have DT770. They're great for music, but the high end is more "bright and crispy"...

    ASUS R9 390 STRIX DirectCU III Video Card Review @ [H]
