    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    Hey Nigel, so I used a dual 32" stand for the 38" widescreens. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGTP57A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For the side 34" screens I used 2 single mounts on the left and right...

    Show Your LCD(s) setups!!!

    Actually they're 38", and the panels are basically the same. I do play on the 175 hz 3840x1600 panel since using all the screens at 60hz will make you vomit quickly. And then there are the bezels... Yes, I hate the bezels, but they are the thinnest I could find. I just flip the LED mode to...

    Update from my last post: https://hardforum.com/threads/show-your-lcd-s-setups.862341/page-591#post-1044437135 Wound up moving to a powered standing/sitting desk, and added 280 independently controlled LEDs (WS2812s) on the back running at 60 FPS (supporting single monitor for games, or all 4...

    38WK95C HDR Blue in HDR

    Gotta love false advertising, especially when they say "HDR 10". Thanks for the info. What monitor would you suggest that is at or over 144hz, does full HDR and is ~38" ?

    LG 38GL950G - 37.5" 3840x1600/G-Sync/175Hz

    Has anyone found a color profile for this monitor? Its kind of funny that the others have one, but this doesn't (nor does it have a monitor driver, so you have to use generic PNP)

    38WK95C HDR Blue in HDR

    So I'm running 4 monitors (38GL950G Displayport, 38WK95-C Diaplayport, 34UM88-P (2x HDMI) on a Asus Strix 2080Ti. The two 38" screens support HDR (as reported in DXDIAG). When I use Win10 and tell it to use HDR settings, the 38GL950G works fine.. colors are at 6500K, looks amazing. When I flip...

    New build, get SSD m.2 pcie 4.0 or stick with the Samsung 970 evo plus

    Yeah, theres always room for improvement, but still decent perf. I'm going to be playing with it for awhile to see what I can eek out, but I dont expect much to change. But I did keep my 4.0 x16 slot open exclusively for storage since pretty much anything else used in that slot is a waste...

    New build, get SSD m.2 pcie 4.0 or stick with the Samsung 970 evo plus

    Benchmark with 4x Sabrent pcie 4.0 1TB drives and the Gigabyte AIC controller. Also, the temps never went over 50c at full blast over and over.

    LG 38GL950G - 37.5" 3840x1600/G-Sync/175Hz

    I've mounted it on a 100 x 100 vesa arm, and it works perfectly fine. (Actually I mounted it with 3 other LG monitors around it, all on 100 x 100 vesa wall mounts).

    LG 38GL950G - 37.5" 3840x1600/G-Sync/175Hz

    Would be nice for some decent driver support for the monitor... it goes into HDR mode, but cant select 10 bit from nvidia settings (yet I can choose 10 bit for my 38WK95C HDR panel), and it only registers as a Generic PnP display. Other than that, its awesome. Games look wonderful, and its early...

    Easy Does It – The Case for Lowering The Difficulty

    I'm one of those 'older' gamers, but even to this day, I can't fathom playing on easy. It just feels a bit 'cheap' as if I need training wheels to play a game. I understand why its in there, but if I were forced to play on easy first, I might be a bit lesser inclined to play since I would feel...

    Can You VR On A Laptop?

    I'm using an Aorus X7 v6 http://www.aorus.com/Product/Features/X7%20v6 with a 1070 in it. Runs VR like a champ, no issues whatsoever using both Occulus and HTC Vive. I would say by far after spending an hour in Valkrie no matter how solid the frame rate is, coming out and back into the real...

    Played Quake Lately? - [H]ardOCP

    I kinda wish I had the time to finish the remix project I was working on back in 2006. Now that the IP is owned by Bethesda, I wouldn't want to get entangled in any funny business, but the zBrush models, textures / artwork, sound and everything was from scratch, so with a few changes and new...

    Windows 8 is the New XP

    I'm usually stuck in my ways with my core OS. I like to use a lot of keyboard shortcuts, and I'm used to slamming the start in the corner with the mouse and typing shortcut commands. But the reality is that if you get off the "metro" horse, and take a look, its win 7 that runs a hell of a lot...

    Windows 8 Falls Further Behind Windows 7 in Pre-Launch Stats

    I would say the main reason Win 7 was so successful was because most users were still on XP because Vista had so many problems. The leap from XP to Win 7 was pretty substantial. The current marketing suggests a few new 'features' from Win 7 to Win 8, so most people do not really care, and from...

    So, set up all the jazz, and didn't get over 60. I'm not positive that I did it correctly though because it wouldn't even go to 61 and that's using the manual timing and instructions from here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1225919/yamakasi-catleap-monitor-club So, no gold here. I may try again...

    It was wrapped in brown paper, however the monitor itself is basically suspended in foam about two inches from each side of the box. There are 4 layers of bubble wrapping around the monitor horizontally, so if it were to take an impact from the front or sides, it could take a beating and...

    Yes, box says "Davi display D279SV-VGQ2 LED MONITOR" underlined It was for a "perfect pixel" but I would say no one looked at the bad one because its hard to miss on black. I got mine from bigclothcraft as well, but between EBay, Paypal, and my CC company, I'm not too worried, plus I would...

    Second panel has a magenta point about 1/4" in diameter (decently sized), its only visible when its black, and it doesnt look like pixels out, looks more like either the screen is pressed at that point, or the fluid is not distributed at that point. so 50% good, 50% bad.

    Just got both of my Davi 27s.. Did a DPT test on it, Panel #1 is 100% perfect, no pixels stuck or dead. And the color looks dramatically better than my dell 30" (which i expected). Screen is matte, and with VS up, text is clean and crisp at 9 points, very pleased. The power brick sent was a 120...

    If you want to play games, LCD may be better suited. If you want accuracy with better shadows and need to do some work, CCFL is better. Its great LCD is so bright, but then again, most people do not use their monitors at 100% brightness. And unless you are looking to see the blacks get...

    Their specs say it has a Dual-Link DVI for desktop, but you are looking to use HDMI. Just make sure you get a DVI-D to HDMI connector as these panels use the DVI-D connector, and unless you are looking to spring for the $400+ model that has HDMI, that will be your primary path. Also, if you...

    Work development rig - Looking for opinions.

    Actually, I wound up taking my old I7-950 with x58 with a pair of Intel SSDs and taking that to work. I put a 260 in it as I had a spare one. My 570 went into VM rig (which I do a lot of 3D game testing, so it gets used), and the 680 went into my home rig. To answer your question, VS2010 takes...

    Work development rig - Looking for opinions.

    So the rig is built (waiting for my GTX 680, so my 570 will do for now). The dual 830s on the Intel 6Gig channel is stupid fast (and happy it is). ATTO is reporting lower 700s on writes and right at the 1000s for reads starting at 8k. HD Tune is showing 951 min / 997 max, pretty flat. System...

    Work development rig - Looking for opinions.

    After doing some research, be very careful with the Revodrive 3 2X cards. Seems they aren't friendly with a lot of X79 boards. I settled with a pair of Samsung 830s, which should do well on the 6gig ports.
