    Optical inaccuracy of "curved" displays?

    I'm not yet convinced that curved are more optically accurate. I see a good argument that the y-axis is more accurate due to distance from the eyes. However the visual inconsistency created by no curve in the x-axis seems to make a flat screen's inconsistency more naturally corrected for by the...

    Text readability + video clarity + FPS?

    What is the best current mix of the following in the ~27-36" display, in order of priority: a) Readability of text b) Clarity of video c) latency (or FPS) Budget is < 1K USD. I'm guessing IPSs will be the top recommendation. It'll be connected to a Vega 64. Hopefully some people who have tried...

    Benefit of having a separate router / FW?

    If you want top security and performance - and you have Linux as your host OS - then what's the benefit to having a separate OpenBSD box or enterprise networking gear for Firewall & routing? Say, we have a gigabit internet connection. I'm thinking why not just iptables (UFW) on the host with...

    Why do passive / heat pipe cases fail?

    There have been many sneak peaks at passive cooking cases with great cooling performance (mostly using heat pipes) over the last decade or so. Most of them have been discontinued, failed, or who knows? Calyos is the best I've heard about recently - and now seems they're winding down, or at least...

    Building the lowest latency computer...

    Please checkout this amazing article, which is unfortunately a rarity today: https://danluu.com/input-lag/ As you can see the Apple 2e had much lower keyboard to screen latency than any modern desktop has today. I'm interested in building a modern computer that is as low latency as possible...

    Lowest latency wired mouse?

    Hard to find accurate benchmarks on this, but I don't see why it couldn't get down to 1ms at 1000hz via USB. Not 1ms to change on screen, but 1ms to change in pointer as measured by OS. Thoughts?

    Best for Text (clarity & eye-strain)

    There are quite a few threads to read through to get to the bottom of this (in an up-to-date way) it seems... 1) What's the very best monitor to day (between 27 & 32 inches) for text clarity and lack-of-eye strain? I think ideally it would be high refresh rate, but I'm not sure about that. I'm...

    Clever way to quickly switch display sources (GPU passthrough)

    These days GPU passthroughs in hypervisors are awesome for giving a guest full GPU performance. The downside is that in order to use a single display between host & guest, you have to wire the two GPUs to the same display. My question here is how to switch those sources quickly from my...

    Highest Contrast Displays Currently?

    What are the highest contrast (darkest blacks) - and secondarily, best colors. It will be used for reading and coding a lot - and sometimes movies and video editing (secondarily). Also, what about the current state of anti-glare technology? My previous displays had mat coating that I liked. Thanks!

    Modern Laptops

    I've been out of the hardware research game for a while - and I used to browse this forum so I respect its mindshare. Many reviews claim the latest Apple and Dell laptops are the fastest (and lightest). However, it isn't straightforward to see - for example - which SSD model Apple is using and...

    LCDs with small bezels for multi-screen side-by-side

    I'm looking for a screen with at least the features and quality of the HP zr2740w (I own one and like it compared with ACD and the like). I might go with a 24-inch instead of 27-inch too. What I'm looking for is the smallest amount of bezel on the sides so that I can make a 3 screen setup...
