    What's new in the Ultrawide monitor world?

    Nice Heads up. This monitor looks great. I just bought the LG 34" 1440p for $800. I am going to stick with that for at least a year. I am guessing this releases in the $1400 range and while the extra pixels are nice not enough for the extra cash. Also will push a 1080ti too much, would require...

    What's new in the Ultrawide monitor world?

    Same boat. I bought the 34" LG FreeSync 2 version. 144Hz gaming with a zero lag wired mouse and keyboard, wired headset is amazing coming from a wireless mouse and keyboard, and 60hz 4K tv with some input lag. PWM flicker on the 4K Tv was getting to me over time. It really hurt my eyes. The new...

    People using 40-43" displays on the desktop, any drawbacks?

    I have a 2015 48" samsung 4k. The colors are great for games but the PWM flicker hurts my eyes over time on the desktop. Also it is 60Hz. As a desktop it is a little too big, I have to drag windows lower into my field of view. 43" is just about perfect for 4K with a good sharp PPI and plenty of...

    Frank Azor VP of Alienware Interview @ [H]

    I bought a refurbished Area-51 3 years ago. 3x980s to 1080sli to 1080ti solo. 32GB ram and an i7-5960. It is a beast, reliable quiet and fast. I mined for 6 months with it. It weighs like 75lbs. Great machine and a really good price with a dell outlet coupon. Highly recommend them.

    PCMag: Apple Is Ready to Ditch the Mac

    The iPad is great for consuming and interacting with content. Until it gains way more ports it will not replace a laptop. Now if you add 4 usb c ports then it really could work. My iPad pros are so fast, smooth (120hz), and reliable.

    Virginia’s $40 Toll Road Better Be the Future of Driving

    This is the path to the future. There are too many roads, too much infrastruture, and too little taxes to pay to maintain them all. It is a very fair system that will help change the way we develop land and how we choose to live. Want to live in the suburbs and have a 30 minute commute? Fine...

    First Impressions of the Dell UP3218K "8K" Monitor

    I agree there is little live 4K content, but I am very happy with the 4K that is available and it makes it worth owning the hardware. You have Netflix streaming 4K, Amazon Prime 4K, and you can subscribe to a 4K blu-ray delivery service that is gaining more and more movies each month. Add to...

    In Theory: Could Sony Release PlayStation 5 in 2018?

    Having just upgraded my ps4 to a ps4 pro and playing Horizon Zero Dawn, I can safely say Sony can wait. The graphics are amazing. I have a high-end 4K htpc hooked up to a 75" 4K tv and there is hardly a PC game out now that matches the beauty that this lowly 4.12 teraflop machine is producing...

    Nintendo Switch Consoles Are Allegedly Warping When Docked for Too Long

    Bought a switch on launch day, played Zelda for about 20 hrs then sold it. Too many frame rate issues and the console itself needs version 2 to get my dollars. A plastic screen that scratches when docked? A power plug on the bottom interfering with the kickstand? Featureless OS? I am happy to...

    BioWare Is Attempting to Fix Mass Effect: Andromeda

    If you can wait this is a great example of a game worth waiting until November sales to play. Buy it on Black Friday for $29, and enjoy a fully patched game with great driver performance. For the price it will be a fun experience and if you don't like something about the game there are plenty of...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    In terms of pixel density the 40-43" range at 4K is almost perfect. I to came from a 30" Dell IPS Ultrasharp at 2560x1600 (great but still see the pixels compared to my 5K iMac at 27"). The Sony seemed perfect, but something strange happened. The first time I owned the 48" JS9000 I was...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    I have owned a lot of high end displays. Projectors, Plasma's, LCD's, CRT's. Without a doubt there is no comparison for the sony x800d and the JS9000. The JS9000 blows it away, a Lexus against a Mazda. I drive a 2005 Lexus GX470 and would never trade it for a 2017 Mazda, they just don't...

    Running single gtx1080 from tri-sli gtx980. Keep one gtx 980 for PhysX?

    Great advice, one card it is and the 980's get sold.

    Running single gtx1080 from tri-sli gtx980. Keep one gtx 980 for PhysX?

    SLI was a pain as every driver upgrade you had to select it. Some games wouldn't support SLI and there was chance of micro stutter and other latency delays. Also more heat, power, VR problem, etc. Enjoying single card again. Is there any value to keeping one 980 for PhysX or is it not worth...
