  1. Hey y'all, was wondering if there's a way to get audio playing through both of my monitors, problem is, they're both connected via HDMI and the audio "port" is apparently just a pass-through for the headphone jack on the back of the monitor, and it only supports audio via HDMI. 

     

    I've tried the "Stereo mix" method and still nothing. 

     

    (I know the better sound and obvious solution is a pair of speakers, just paid rent however so thats not an option at the moment)

    Somehow i doubt that there is anything where a:   laptop, 500$ and gaming can be put in 1 sentence 

     

    however self built PC, 500$ and gaming, yes

     

    indie games sorta need a gpu too nowadays, unless u mean minecraft

    "High end" gaming, no, However my old laptop could play games on fair/low settings and still have decent fps, was a samsung something or other lol. was around $550 at the time of purchase.

    I didn't know that those words could go together...

    They have a massdrop for 34UC87M-B right now for $714. It's next goal is $699.

    Lol i meant that as in "not over $1000" lol affordable i suppose is subjective... Thanks though!

    Yeah, Plex should do everything you want it to do. It's just an application that runs on your PC, not a whole OS. It installs the Plex 'Server' application, you tell Plex where to find your media, and then it adds it to your library for you. Super cool and really convenient.

    I've been using it for about 7 months now, i love it. Have a dedicated hard drive for just the movies. Best thing is it downloads metadata for you, even adds thinks like (some) bonus features and trailers. 

  5. Hey y'all, looking for an affordable 34" curved 21:9 monitor, anyone have any suggestions?

     

    (Please refrain from amazon links, just model names/numbers. Reason being work internet is locked down and no shopping sites are allowed. Thanks!!!)

  6. Black is your - patterned is your +

    Just to be clear, if your splicing those two together (look different to me) just match solid black with solid black. Been a while since i've done any work with speakers but all you have to do is test, if works - leave it, if not, switch it. You wont cause any harm by getting it wrong.

    That should explain everything =]

     

    Also,

    "If you find you're running low, charging is quick with the USB Type-C plug. It's reversible, so there's no more guessing which way is up," says the Nexus 6P webpage.  

    USB Type-C plugs have high endurance and longevity. They are designed in a way that endures no less than 10,000 insertion and extraction cycles.

    USB Type-C connectors can transmit DisplayPort signals at up to 4K resolution. The new plug can also handle electrical power of up to 100W.

    USB Type-C connectors can also be used for data transfer as well as charging devices. Apple's new MacBook has a single USB Type-C port that allows for charging or transferring data. Google's latest Chromebook Pixel also features two USB Type-C ports, which can also be used to charge the device or transfer data.
