Hardware Unboxed does the best monitor reviews. Take especial notice to the real response time's and the overshoot needed to reach that response. This will effect how clear movement looks, in the same way refresh rate makes it look smooth. Very few of the "1ms response time" monitors actually hit this metric without massive amounts of overshoot. (Makes a double image with trailing color shifts after moving objects.)

Thanks! I'll look into them.

Hi. Im doing my own research as you read this but if any of you reading this already know of my perfect laptop I'd really appreciate it. Im looking for a laptop with the following: Fullsize hdmi A USB-A At least one USB-C(2 is preferred) LTE or 5G Large and good trackpad Good keyboard Ca. 15 inch Not a must have, but preferred: A discreet gpu for cad A sd card reader. Obviously, price is a factor, but im primarily looking for these spec's and build quality over price. I realize the requirements are very specific, but i hope it makes it easier to guild and advice me :).

My main concern is weight, batteri, build quality and i would prefer a gpu. (I will be handling CAD files, and prefer not to have them to choppy.) In simple works, i want a mac with windows and a gpu.

Im deep into window and dont want to have to learn a completely new system at the same time as getting back into school after a couple of year. I also am not a fan of the high wall on the apple ecosystem and have no interest in entering it. My vad for not specifying a windows laptop.

Looking for a premium laptop for uni. The sensel touchpads seems like an amazing feature and i really want my laptop to have one. The laptop i currently own is a old laptop from 2016 and painfully outdated. Haven't had a use for anything in addition to my desktop for years. The Thinkpad X1 yoga is the only one I can find. Are there any upcoming laptop i should wait for or is the Thinkpad my best bet. Any potential deal breakers with the X1 i should look out for?

What monitor are they using?

For anyone reading this a few day later. The problem is still not fixed and I'll mark it if it eventually does.

My mistake for not being clearer. But as i tried to write on the original post. I typed both. Didn't work sadly.

It doesn't show up in the boot list. I have tried unplugging. (I'll add it to the list.) Depending on when i unplug, it either tells me to plug in the bootable Media and press a button, or just sends me to the bios.

Hi! Im in the final stages of putting together my rig. Im using a Asus Crosshair VIII Dark Hero. I have 3 drives: Samsung 860 QVO 2TB Samsung 970 EVO 500GB WD Black SN850 1TB I will be using the 970 EVO as my boot drive. My problem is as follows. I use the USB windows installer i made, and go through the process of installing windows on the 970 EVO. All is well, and as usual untill it gets to the point in the install where it has copied the files over (in theory) and restarts intending to keep going from the boot drive.(I may be wrong, this is how i understand the process.) This is where the problem occurs. It restarts, but just continues booting from the USB, making me start the install process again as if i just booted up the system. This seems to be caused by the system not recognizing the 970 EVO as bootable, making it just default back to the USB after the restart. I have tried installing windows on the SN850, and it works perfectly. I also tried remaking the installer USB. I tried reformatiming and remake all partitions with diskpart in the cmd. I tried forcing both lagacy and UEFI mode. I tried disconnecting my 860 QVO to check if it was somehow sharing lanes. I have tried clearing CMOS several times to see if i changed some obscure setting. The UEFI i up to date as of yesterday.( Latest full realese) The 970 EVO was used in my previous system and worked fine. Didn't use it as my boot-drive though. I tried unplugging the USB when it restarted, sends me to bios or tells me to plug the bootable Media back inn. (I'll try to update this list as i go along.) Im starting to running out off thing to try. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

My mistake in assuming. Thanks!

The Ek pum has a odd bud very functional workaround where there is both a 4 pin fan header and a molex. It only runs ground and signal to the fan header, and gets power from the molex. So when i only plug in the molex it runs at full power for things like this. But you have to unplug the 4 pin, you can't just power off the controller or motherboard.

Yup, ended up leak testing it the old fashioned way. No leaks 24 hours in.

In the manual for the EK leak tester it says i should test my custom loop for 15 min. When i do this, i get no pressure drops. But when i leave it over night i see a small pressure drop from 0.65 bar to 0.60 bar. My question is; is it normal for small amounts of air to seep out over time like this, or does this still mean i have a meaningful leak? Would it be considered safe to go ahead with liquid leak testing?

Thanks! Yeah, I'll never use it, but when you sitt there for hours working on your rig. It bugs me to look at something i have no idea what its for. Now i know, and can build in peace.

Would make sense. As you can see, its not even shown in the layout and as you say, ist not labeled.

I've been in contact with support where i bought it, and I've read the manual several times. Nobody can tell me what this port is for. Sry if it's completely obvious, and im just missing something. I think I'll get an awnser here way before i hear back from asus.

Yes sir! I'll do my best.

Sound good. Just checking if dacs or aps are as bad as PSUs are to take apart. Thanks!

Hi! I currently have a 27GL850 as my main monitor together with a older 1440p 60hz panel from AOC. Im interested in upgrading to a triple monitor setup. The options im considering are: 1: buy 2 more 27GL850 panels and maybe keep the AOC for a 3 + 1 setup. 2: buy a 27GN950 to then later (perhaps soon) buy a second 27GL850 for a 3 + 1 with the 27GN950 as the main in the middle. The main reason to go for the 950 would be to have a have a good 4k monitor for when I dont run a game on all three. I understand far from all games support triple setups well. My main question is if there will be any big problems running one of the 3 monitors at a different resolution. I also wonder if its possible to run games that actually support surround gaming with the middle monitor at 4k or if I'll have to run all 3 at 1440p when in surround. My current pc specs are a 1080 ti and a 5900x. With plans to (eventually) upgrade to the new 30-series. Will this run on the 1080 ti or will have to run on low before i get the chance to upgrade my gpu? Thanks alot in advance!

Thanks for detailed answer. I am experiencing som quite signifikant interference. This in combination with wanting to see what all the fuzz a out dacs and apms is about is the main reason for the upgrade. (The 199 for the hel or stack would be worth it to fint out if all the people online saying it massively improved their experience are right.) Btw, not sure if you would know, but would opening the hel (or a Dac/Apm in general) up to disassemble and paint the red black be a really bad idea, or just a bad idea?

I don't need the mic input on the Hel, so how does the two compere purely in terms of sound. I use the the HD 650s.

Looking to get these to upgrade my listening experience. (Have been putting off getting an amp to properly run my HD 650s) Im wondering if this stack will have any downside effect when i game on the same system? If so, any dac/amp that doesn't have this downside?
