Who knew my old license plate from Ohio would one day come in handy to make an extra VESA mount to a laptop stand
 
Are there any affordable LED reactive backlight systems? I got my son TV for Christmas and his birthday is not far off and I thought I would get him some backlighting. I saw philips has a system, but its expensive AF.

What do you consider inexpensive and what features are you looking for?
Just standard LED? Sound reactive? Color edge matching to the display?

Thing is, I have no idea what the price range is for these.

Color edge matching...Those work through an HDMI adaptor right? Are there any options for that aside from the $300 ones?

Theres some DIY versions that are syncronous with the input for half that: https://hackernoon.com/the-best-tv-experience-philips-ambilight-clone-f164e392266a
Or if you wanna be lazy theres a version that uses a camera to sense the colors thats super cheap but seems to have decent reviews: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JKVKZX8/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_zOh.FbVCG76EB

Yeah, I used to have figures and stuff on the desk, but I got a kitten and it wasn't a good mix.
 
With the purchase of a 5900X and an RX 6900 XT, I had to get a freesync monitor. So I switched from an ASUS PG279Q to the new 240hz Alienware AW2721D.

I'm quite happy with it so far. Although, seeing all these Ultrawide monitors in here really makes me miss mine.

That small monitor at the bottom is just a 13.3" USB-C monitor that's connected to my Plex system.

Have not done a calibration but Mass Effect Legendary Edition in game calibration is dead on for HDR. Contrast shows a "1" when I was force to use HDMI 2.1 4K@120 as the DP cable was not long enough, it has since been change back to '0" once I got a longer DP cable and running at 4K@144.

Anybody have pictures of dual 30 inch, or so, monitors stacked ? I'm trying to figure out if my 30 inch dells would look ok on my desk. I'm searching the thread as I type. Thanks !!! PS google returned lots of stock photos which look nice but interested in "real" photos.

I've got a couple 34" ultrawides plus a 27" vertical on the last post of the last page if that suits ya.

This was my setup for about a month. It was nice at first, but the top monitors ended up overwhelming me, it was too much.

The main monitor is a 34" ultrawide, left is a 24", and the right one was 32" I believe. Ended up just selling them and using the single ultrawide.
