    Godvater reacted to xXxYOLOxSWAGxXx_420BlazeIt in Disabling Surround Defaults to one monitor, any way to fix?   
    Set up surround mode, save your settings.
     
    When you finish playing your game press Windows Kye + P.
     
    Surround = projector mode/Duplicate
     
    Normal  = extended.

    Godvater got a reaction from 5x5 in Could This Be My New Laptop? - ThinkPad X390 Review   
    As someone who loves LTT, tech and especially the world of laptops, I wrote this before and I will do again. LTT laptop reviews suck. You guys have been putting the least insightful and most shallow reviews I can find online. How can LTT publish worse Laptop reviews than the Verge???
     
    Especially this one was a big flop imo. Finally some attention given to Thinkpads and you butchered it. And this is not because of the trackpoint comments. How can you put “review” on the title of such a shallow video, I really can’t understand. 
     
    I feel like Alex has too much to do and his laptop reviews are rushed. Or at least he is not happy making them. 
     
    I would love to see some attention given to laptop reviews from LTT, laptops are still the best form of portable computing and deserve better than this.
     
    Oh btw, I have used a thinkpad for 8 months, never used the trackpoint and it never got in the way.
     
    Before sounding like a Thinkpad fanboy, I sold my Thinkpad because I was unhappy with it and I still have discussions with Thinkpad fanboys  over at r/thinkpad. I currently use a Dell XPS machine.

    Godvater reacted to SolarNova in A FIRST for Gaming Monitors! – ASUS VG27AQ Review   
    Unfortunately this monitors suffers from a few issues not noted in the LTT video, not surprising as they dont deep dive into technical testing.
     
    The monitor when using its ELMB sync suffers from backlight 'cross-talk' where the strobing effect of the black frame insertion causes duplication of a moving image ,  it sounds like ghosting but it is different, where ghosting is more a blur following a moving image, this is a more crisp duplication.
     
    Additionally the panel uniformity isnt great and it being IPS means IPS glow is present as well.
     
    Finally the pixel response times are not exactly great. Even tftcentrals rather favorable testing methodology suggests using 60 to 80% overdrive (trace free setting) to keep response times below that required for 144hz and 155hz , but this also adds noticeable overshoot.
     
    that said it does have an impressively low amount of input lag.
     

    Depending on how sensitive you are to visual artifacts such as cross-talk , and how picky you are with black level uniformity , this will either be a great monitor, or not so much. None the less at least it isnt crazy expensive.
     
    see tftcentrals review for a more technical overview of the monitor.
