    Thanks a lot for taking the time!

    Yeah this might be the case. Im really hoping for some out of the box workaround to do a higher resolution. CRU was my best hope. I even got windows display setting to show higher resolutions, except its a black screen when trying that

    Hi everyone, I have cheap laptop that I use to play eports and pixel games. Its a Lenovo ideapad 330. i5 8250U and a Radeon 530 gpu. Problem: My issue right now is the resolution; at 1366x768, there are scaling issues when playing a few of my games. The screen size too small and the in game menu's are too big at even maxed resolution. So it takes up a lot of space. I'm namely talking about PokeMMO. Solutions Tried: I have tried looking for ways to run my display at higher resolutions to solve scaling issues but nothing workd. - Intel HD graphics says any res higher is unsupported. - AMD Radeon Software plainly doesn't have a settings page for display because of "older model gpus" - and I even tried using CRU (Custom Resolution Utility) to feed my computer new resolutions, but the screen is black when I attempt to run those resolutions from windows and within the game. Are there any other workarounds for this? Its unplayable sometimes with all the menus and windows I have open and the scaling causes them to be so huge. Any advice is appreciated, short of "get an external display". I would if I could but I can't at the moment.

    Hi, I'm working on a project to repair a broken Samsung T55 32" Curved display. I don't have a power cord for it and will need to buy one, but before I invest into that I'd like to see how much it costs for a replacement panel for this particular model. The closest I got to filtering it is this. But I don't know how to confirm the model's name with my monitor. Any help is appreciated thank you

    I was wondering if its possible. I have a second screen, but I want to utilize only the top half of it. I managed to resize the resolution, now I just wanna move it up on the screen *through the PC settings*. Anyone know a way to do this?

    So I have a couple games crashing on me, sometimes during heavy load, sometimes when simply doing an install or while just idling. (ARK, Valorant, Sea of Thieves, Apex Legends etc.) I reached out to some of my community members and friends and there seems to be a consensus that it wasn't just the games that's acting up but also the PC itself which was built 7 years ago. I agree. However some of them said it could be a bad power supply. This baffled me. how can a power supply, that carries no data and only supplies pure voltage to the components cause games to crash? Is there such a thing? Granted it is a locally sourced part that came with my v. cheap case and it isn't exactly rated nicely or anything. But I can't wrap my head around how a psu can affect software. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Can't wait haha and I just used the Microsoft Store App for Netflix ands the sound is awesome here too! You helped me out just by pointing that out because now I can watch more than just the dvds I have in surround haha. Cheers man

    Thanks for taking the time. I believe you are indeed right. These video sites don't in fact output surround. Which is a real shame. I'm gonna close up all my tabs I was doing research on This is my very first time using a surround system and its amazing. I have my dads old collection of blurays as well so I guess I'll be watching a lot of those to experience the surround speakers. I downloaded some of those trailers and they blew me away so I can't wait for these movies haha. Thanks again man, Enjoy!

    That's weird because on all the forums, I keep seeing posts and even comments saying these tests net positive results. That there were launch parameters that can be used but it is unnecessary after Jan 2020. I've already downloaded a "5.1 surround test" video from youtube and it was just a stereo file when I played it in vlc. Perhaps my method of downloading the video was just lossy. I did run across a forum where someone uploaded a sample audio and when I played it (through the browser), it did indeed play in surround. Therefore, the browser does support it, its just depending on the websites method of deploying these files. Maybe its a YT/Netflix issue that I have.

    FIXED: The surround speaker cables actually split into 2 copper heads each going into the AVR as "positive and negative" for each speaker. I was only swapping the "negative" cables but I was supposed to also swap the others. Issue two however remains. I can't reproduce surround sound in the browsers

    Hello to anyone seeing this I have a pretty old PC running Win10. I just got some stuff from my dad, his old Sony TV and his Harman Kardon 5.1 AVR. I put one of the HDMI outputs from my GPU to the AVR input, then sent the AVR output to the TV. Then configured the playback device to be 5.1 Surround and the AVR to 5channel auto. I ran into two issues. Funnily, the surrR and surrL speakers are mixed up. I'm using the configure menu to play sounds on each individual speaker for testing (image below). I tried swapping these weird exposed copper cables in the back between SL and SR multiple times but it doesn't output the right sounds still. These cables have no proper cable heads and just go into this hole in the back held in by a latch. There's one for every speaker labeled appropriately. The second issue is that when I tried playing a youtube surround test video, (similar sample testing videos), only L,R,C and the subwoofer show output. Chrome and Edge both ignore the surround speakers altogether (youtube, netflix etc). I'm very new to home theaters and TVs altogether so please shed some light onto these matters if you have a sec please. Thank you!

    So i digged up some stuff on how I can do that and did the following: 1: Reset 2: Change LAN IP to 192.168.1.200 3. Turned off DHCP (there were three tick boxes, not a single button) what happened was that the router seems to crash. cant access the admin page, cant even connect because the IP seems to not be discoverable I think I will dig up another router that I have in a box somewhere and try with that and maybe I'll have better luck

    I've heard a lot of terms thrown around while looking into this but seems to be that I'm out of my depth here with networking. (not my specialty) I have two Huawei routers. One spare from an old connection (HG8246H), and another that was set up for our wifi last week (HG8245W5). My updstairs roommates can't access the wifi so I'm trying to use the spare to set up an Access point for them with an ethernet cable. Could someone offer some help? Edit: The main issue seems to be that the WAN page doesnt show me anything and doesnt offer any options to create either

    Update, i goofed. There is display, but its just not going through my Displayport, when I used HDMI to another monitor, I'm getting a display output. But the same BSD error, nothing changed except gpu not outputting to DP. Going to reset now using installation media and see what happens

    Would flashing the bios be of any help here?
