    Fighter78 reacted to LinusTech in LG G3 Review and.... TWENTY-FIVE Phone Giveaway?!   
    NCIX: n/a
    Amazon: http://georiot.co/30oN
     
    The G3 from LG is the first phone I've used with a 2560x1440 display. That's a lotta pixels! Not to mention the rest of the top-of-the-range specs!
     


     
    Alright, now onto the good stuff. LG is giving us TWENTY FIVE G3's to give away! All you need to do to qualify is post your favourite thing about the G3 from the review above in this thread and you can be selected at random to win one of these phones!
     
    Please note that they are retail units (in the video I said pre-production, but this has since been changed) and they are Korean unlocked global units, so you will need to verify if they will work correctly on your carrier! To my knowledge they will work on AT&T or T-Mobile, but I got no data - only get voice and SMS on my carrier (Bell) so YMMV.
     
    Either way you can still enter to win one, and you an always use it as a portable gaming device or whatever... I mean, it's a G3 man! The wifi will work! Best of luck to everyone!
     
    One entry per household.
     
    The giveaway is worldwide and closes July 6th and the winners will be announced on Twitter, so make sure you're following @LinusTech!

    After some research about the error code, it said to update motherboard firmware if you havent already. Other than that these are the possible cases. Temperatures look fine to me.
     
    Possible causes:
    CPU/MB/RAM incompatibility (update BIOS) Overclocking (reset BIOS to default) PSU malfunction or insufficient power CPU malfunction Motherboard malfunction

    Fighter78 reacted to tabuburn in How to run higher than the maximum resolutions on your display   
    admin edit: added video inspired by this thread.
     

     
    WARNING: I haven't seen anyone encountering this but just like overclocking, there is an inherent risk of damaging your display and it may not be covered by its warranty. It may not even be able to achieve the same settings other people are able to get.
     
    Note: I did not make this guide but have used it on all of my monitors without any problems. Credits are due to the ones that originally posted these on another forum. 
     
    What this guide is all about is how to get higher resolutions than what your display is capable of. It is called Downsampling. What it basically does is to have your GPU artificially push a resolution that's over what your display is able to do. The impact it will have on your GPU is equivalent to what it would do on a display that can actually output that resolution natively.
     
    For example:
    Your display is natively able to support a resolution up to 1920x1080. Using Downsampling it will send out a signal to tell your display to output a resolution of 2560x1440. Now on a display that can output a maximum resolution of 1080p has about 2 million pixels while a 1440p display outputs 3.7 million. Downsampling does not increase the amount of pixels being displayed. Itcan't go beyond that. What it does is bring that 1440p resolution to your 1080p display and compresses it to fit inside the screen. The effect it has is similar to zooming out on a lower resolution picture.
     
    Below, you can see the difference in image quality on both images taken on the same display. Both images are using the same settings but with different resolutions.
