LCD Monitors LED Monitors IPS Monitors Gaming Monitors 4K Ultra HD Monitors Curved Monitors I'm not sure what I should get. I want an HD monitor so if I watch DVD movies/stream netflix it's in good quality. Also, I mainly play BW and OSU sometimes SC2 or CSGO. I do a lot of reading/typing on the computer. I would also maybe like to connect an Xbox One to it and use it as a TV? Thanks for the help Edit: Price range: < $200. Size: ~24" | ||

IPS is a type of LCD tech, these days used by LG for some panels, though AOU's AHVA and Samsung's PLS tech are virtually the same thing and may be colloquially or even by monitor manufacturers referred to as "IPS" because that has higher name recognition. This is as opposed to TN and VA types of LCDs. Gaming monitors are like anything else labeled as gaming—possibly with some features targeted at gamers but generally with no technological differentiation, just marketing. 4K ultra HD monitors are out of your price range, sporting 3840x2160 resolutions. Otherwise the same thing. Besides, if you're using it as a TV and using with an Xbox One, you're probably looking for a 1920x1080 display anyway. Curved monitors are curved, obviously. As of now these are out of your price range. If it doesn't have to be from Best Buy, I'd get a Dell P2314H (23", right now significantly cheaper than the 23.8" version, IPS, 1920x1080, LED backlit) for $160 from newegg after promo code EMCAWAR45 ending in a couple days: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260148 A VA monitor would probably look better for movies and Netflix (higher contrast, a little worse color shifting) but would have slow enough pixel response to be more an issue for OSU and CS:GO. | ||

I get 60+ fps without ambient occlusion, then it drops to 20-30 when i turn it on. Running it at 1920x1080 not that it matters this card is built to handle witcher 3 and other games at ultra + 4k res. Hey, if you're using latest AMD drivers, try this perhaps. Go to AMD control panel and select or unselect VSR. Just toggle it. At the moment with latest AMD drivers I am forced to touch these options (doesn't matter on / off, just need to toggle) just to get acceptable fps in odl games: http://i.imgur.com/cKUIFq9.png[/QUOTE] Ok my friend fixed it... reverted back to windows 8 and now im getting 120 fps on dota and everything is working fine again. I guess r9 390 not compatible yet for win 10 | ||

From what I've been seeing, most of the KVM switches have 2 USB ports, one for KB and mouse. I have a Corsair K60, which uses two USB ports (using one as a pass-through). In theory, I could connect both keyboard USB connections and then connect the mouse to the keyboard. Additionally, the mouse is wireless (uses Logitech unifying USB dongle). My concern is that many of the switches label the port for mouse and keyboard with a graphic (as if the usb port would only work for the device pictured), making me think that there would be an issue trying to do this. Can anyone shed some light on this or point me to one that would work? | ||

I have a 30mbps (advertised) speed and I feel like there are some issues from times to times. However much bandwidth the streamers set to use. On twitch there's a limit of ~3.5mbit/s per stream but there are sometimes issues from twitch and your isp actually delivering it --- On August 15 2015 14:04 Thryd wrote: Does lowering the resolution from 1920*1080 to something 1600*900 improve fps in sc2? Would it lower my field of view as well? 900p is ~1.44x lower resolution so if you're GPU limited, you could find FPS increases of that much. Unless your GPU is really bad though (which is possible on a laptop), CPU is probably the cause of low FPS especiallly with many units around. The sc2 field of view should be the same between 16x9 resolutions, so no change AFAIK | ||

www.audioreview.com (B&W CDM 1SE $600) washingtondc.craigslist.org (Epos Epic 2 $400) Going to be using this for a PC speaker setup in a decent sized room. Which would you recommend? | ||

Additional demand of CPU & GPU if I use a 2nd monitor? I need a imagination why to have a 2nd monitor is useful (no job related things). I can imagine that 2nd is disturb me if I play a game on 1st (lightening from 2nd to my face directly). edit: bit odd to think that two 24" are equally wide as my 50" TV. | ||
