    Thoughts on LG GS95ue

    I did a search and surprised nothing came up here. I'm opening up to the idea of OLED and I noticed thos monitor which seems like maybe a perfect solution for me. It can run 4k @240hz and also 1080p @480hz with the click of a button. Sounds perfect for me although why not add a 1440p option...

    Partition vs multiple drives?

    Not sure if this is the right sub forum. Looking for pros and cons on using a single M.2 for windows and games with a partition vs using a separate M.2 for each. If separate is better that is fine, I can get two but my motherboard has only one PCIE 5.0 and then other 4.0, so which would be...

    Anything similar to the G502?

    So I have the G502 Hero. It's a great mouse, very smooth and I just love the way it feels compared to others but I absolutely dislike the Ghub software. It just simply is broken for me when it comes to setting the DPIs. Any mouse out there that feels the same with better software?

    Just got my first projector - Is this decent?

    BENQ 2050. I have been on the fence for a while. Was looking at Epson 3100 as there was a good sale on Parker Gwen but I missed out. Then started looked at something that cost less and wanted a BENQ 2050A but I just won a 2050 on ebay (not here yet). I felt the savings was good although the...

    Best top down air coolers?

    Trying to decide. I have an R5 3600 and the stock cooler keeps it around 80 degrees c. I don't need water cooled performance but I wouldn't mind 10-20 degrees less. Aesthetics are important and I do not want one of the giant side fan coolers. At the same time I do not want to sink $100+ into an...

    Should I go 1440p?

    I had no idea where to put this so I will relate it to gaming. I want to know if my setup will run 1440p, if it is worth it and will it hinder my gaming performance. I play Pub G. That is it lol. Sometimes Insurgency:Sandstorm but the point is I ONLY play FPS games. I heard 1080p is still the...

    YMMV: Samsung 3.1 Soundbar HW-R60M

    Saw this on Slickdeals and got one today. Walmart is doing a Rollback on these for $189 which I think was the Black Friday price. However, if you go to walmart website and check in store prices and change your store (I had to check 3 different stores) the price may change. So each individual...

    Samsung ZA model Soundbars - What are these?

    Anyone know what the ZA means? I have been soundbar shopping, I have seen this happen before where a company will add a couple of random letters at the end that is not on their website.

    Epson 3100 or Benq 2050a

    I have it narrowed down and cannot decide. This will be my first projector and I have limited knowledge. They are both around the same price and I am just unsure.

    Looking into a projector for the game room

    I have never owned a projector and I have no idea what I am looking for besides I guess that Lumens is the key word to know?

    Anyone have one of these? I just got one in trade and I like it quite a bit. I can't find much info on this specific card. I do see there is an LE version and a NON LE. Mine is the non LE and the only difference I can spot is not having the RGB shroud around the fans. Was wondering if there...

    Best budget 1440p, 144hz, freesync/gsync?

    Just bought a used strix 1080 ti and I feel it is time to upgrade to 1440p. I play mostly FPS shooter games so I am unsure if 1440p is a good idea. Right now I have the Asus VG248QE 144hz and it works well but I feel that getting a gsync or even freesync (with Nvidia adaptive sync) 1440p would...

    Anything similar to Inwin 805 infinity?

    Starting to look at parts for a new build and decided I want something custom and flashy. Saw the inwin 805i on YouTube and it looks pretty amazing but no room for radiator and it's been said to fall short in other areas. I was curious if there are any similar flashy, rgb cases with a better design?

    Is there a true budget 120hz 4k TV on sale this year?

    Looking to get a new TV but the research has been seriously killing me. TL;DR companies are advertising their TV's at 120hz which is completely false. Using buzzwords like Motion rate. I am looking for a 50" - 65" TV for under $600 but I don't want to buy junk. Is 120hz really a big deal? If...

    Avera 49EQX20 worth it?

    Might get a TV for BF. Newegg has this for $200. Best Buy has the Sharp lc-50lbu591u for $180. I assume the Sharp is better but I’d rather buy online vs. waiting in line at Best Buy. But is the Sharp way better? Or just slightly? The specs seem close to me but idk anything about TV’s. Can’t...
