  1. The title says it all. What's your favorite beginner video editing tutorial? Thanks!
  2. Can't decide between mass drops Vast monitor https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-vast-curved-gaming-monitor and Samsung's equivalent https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-34-inch-Widescreen-Monitor-C34F791/dp/B01M1D7JVO/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1534961525&sr=1-3&keywords=samsung+cf791

    Hue 2...

    Ok, so I just saw the new hue 2 ecosystem NZXT released at Gamescom... I am an avid customer of NZXT yet I struggle to understand the difference between the "upgraded version of the hue light-strips and AER RGB fans. As to the other accessories, they seem cool but the requirement of a new controller is unfortunate as they use the same connectors as the other accessories. The new controller has 2 extra slots and is made of anodized aluminum. From my chats with the support, the hue 2 is backward compatible with the hue+ light strips an AER RGB fans but the Hue 2 accessories fans and light strips cannot be in the same channel as the hue + accessories. A new feature with the light strips is individual control of LEDs which has been a feature I've been waiting for. After a lengthy conversation with one of their customer support representatives, I was able to confirm that the individual control extended back to the Hue + LEDs and was not just a hue 2 light strip feature. I've included the transcript of our chat below. Overall I had a great experience with the customer support team which gave me a more valid reason to get the new Hue 2 accesories. Hopefully they will be as good as their price would suggest them to be. (134 for everything except ambient lighting.) Chat started on 21 Aug 2018, 05:10 PM (GMT+0) (05:10:39) *** Ethan joined the chat *** (05:10:39) Ethan: Are the hue + RGB strips individually addressable with the new hue 2 controller or are the hue 2 strips the only ones with individually addressable LEDs. (05:11:01) *** Dominic joined the chat *** (05:12:24) Dominic: The HUE+ LED strips will work with the HUE2. The HUE2 strips will not work with the HUE+. (05:13:27) Ethan: My question is are the hue + led strips I individually addressable through software or is it only possible with hardware on the hue 2 strips (05:15:43) Dominic: Only with the HUE2 (05:16:31) Ethan: Do you mean hue 2 controller or led strips. (05:17:23) Dominic: The HUE2 strips are individually accessible only with the HUE2 controller. (05:18:09) Ethan: The hue+ strips are not individually accessible with a hue 2 controller? (05:21:56) Dominic: No, but they will still work with the HUE2 (05:22:06) Ethan: Ok... (05:23:18) Ethan: That Seems kinda silly since the hue + does effects that would require individual control and use the same 4 pin connector so why does it not work the same way? (05:30:52) Dominic: I was getting confused, sorry about that. I see now what you are saying. Like each individual LED that you can change. Let me double check and ask if you use the HUE+ LED strip with the HUE2 controller if you are still able to do that. (05:30:56) Dominic: Sorry for the mix-ups. (05:31:03) Dominic: Let me double check for you one minute. (05:31:04) Ethan: No pro let (05:31:19) Ethan: *problem (05:32:46) Dominic: Ok whew. (05:32:50) Dominic: So yes you will be able to (05:33:13) Dominic: Each individual LED will be addressable. (05:33:16) Ethan: Awesome, sorry to put you on the spot (05:34:18) Dominic: Haha, no worries. We are getting thrown a lot of questions on the new units, so it's a good thing. (05:35:15) Ethan: Great to hear you guys are managing it. I've been a long time customer and I just wanted to make sure that my 100$ worth of light strips weren't obsolete (05:36:10) Dominic: Yup understandbale! (05:36:15) Dominic: understandable* (05:36:32) Ethan: Alrighty thanks! (05:37:04) *** Ethan has rated the chat Good *** (05:37:31) *** Ethan has commented: Awesome job managing some tough and pointed questions *** (05:37:40) *** Ethan left the chat ***
  4. Wondering what the benefits of getting this versus the massdrop vast are and what you guys recommend I get. OR if you would recommend a different monitor altogether. This would be used for gaming and light photo video editing. I will be running a rtx 2080 when it comes out so not concerned about hitting max refresh rate.
  5. Hi LTT community. I'm currently on the hunt for my next monitor currently upgrading from a 1440p dell 25". My desk isn't really filled with the 25 inch so an ultrawide would be preferred. I am looking for the best option for a combination of fps gaming at high refresh rate and intensive games at 60hz. I am also getting into video and photo editing so good color accuracy would be great. I don't really have a price limit but I am looking to spend less than 800$ if possible, the lower the better. My desk can fit a maximum of a 35 inch width horizontally so anything around or slightly less that would be good. Thanks beforehand.
  6. Alrighty Thanks! I just wanted to be sure.
  7. Yes but overclocking can increase the TDP significantly as far as I know and the PSU calculators I have used when I put in my usual overclocks have said higher than 700.
  8. Hi all, looking to get a new power supply and want some advice on wattage and custom cable color scheme. I am planning on running the 9th gen cpus and 1180 coming out this fall (hopefully) but I wanted to get the psu cables now. I currently have a 650 watt EVGA g2 and plan on upgrading to a 850 watt g2 for the new parts. My color scheme is black and white right now and I wonder whether it's better just to go with solid white from cable mod (which is cheaper) or go with a custom design as far as individual sleeving. In regards to the PSU I am wondering whether I should upgrade now or wait until we know the official TDP for the new parts. Thanks in advance for your help!
  9. HI all, Looking to upgrade my storage. Currently running a 250gb 850 Evo and 1tb wd blue. Want to upgrade solid state but I am wondering whether I should get a 970 500gb or an 860 Evo 1tb. I plan on storing games and doing some light video editing. Thanks, Ethan.
  10. Thanks for all the replies guys. I think I will stick with the 1080 since he says he wants to play higher end games in 4k in the future.
