then you need display port or HDMI 2.1 to get the full potential. No expections.
I saw on reddit that someone turned off adaptive sync and it allow him to have the full 1440p and 120 FPS, but I really don't know how adaptive sync works, I thought that was a setting you can turn on in your GPU settings if your monitor had it.

I'm looking into buying the LG 27GL83A-B monitor for my PC and xbox series x/s (when I get one), and I've heard that since this monitor has HDMI 2.0, my xbox series x/s won't be getting the full 1440p 120 fps, only the display port will get the full potential. I'm just wondering if anyone is familiar with the LG 27GL83A-B and Xbox series X/S combo, and if its true that you can't get 1440p and 120, only 1080p and 120 fps. I might be completely wrong but share if you know anything about this!

Does anyone know what I can do with my led strips?
What I’m trying to do is join two led strips together but I’m unsure what I have to do. (soldering, is there something I can buy to join them together, tape?)

That should work yes, your TV requires a VESA 200x200 mount and that's what that is. Either the TV, and/or the mount, should include the required M6 screws.
shoot, I have the TV for awhile now so I won't have the m6 screws.

I don't know anything about TV mounts but I plan on installing one for my TV, I have a Sanyo DP42d24 (42 Inch) and was wondering if the TV mount I found would be compatible.
Any other TV mount suggestion would be awesome!

Is it USB version or what do you use between it and PC? Does it only happen with that mic? If you use 3.5mm directly to mobo, that works fine? Also does this happen locally, online or both? And on every software?
Because its most likely driver conflict behind it if its locally. In which case reinstalling drivers for whatever is the interface should fix it.
No its the XLR version and is feed to the obvious power supply to power the mic and then to a 3.5mm (connected to the mobo). I havent tested with other mics, as I don't have any other but I know for a fact that it a all around problem as the mic is messed up on every software. As when I turn on the option to hear myself, I even hear myself every robotic/muffed.

Windows has been forcing me to update to their latest update for awhile now and every time I do, the update some how messes with my microphone (audio technica at2020) and makes me sound muffled/like a robot. This forces me to revert back to the older version of Windows I was in. I've tried messing with the sample rate while on the new update (it was in 2 channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz CD quality at default) and they all sounded the same to my friends.
I'm kind of tired having to revert updates when Windows randomly updates, and I'm just wondering if anyone has ran into this problem and have they found a solution.

worse than those listed options
Ahh got you, might bump up the laptop budget to $700, do you have any recommendations for one that range that has USB2.0/3.0 ports?

From best to OK:
Lenovo Ideapad 730s 13 81JB0007US: no USB A, non-upgradeable RAM, high sRGB display
Lenovo Yoga C740 15 customize: non-upgradeable RAM
Lenovo Ideapad S540 15 81NE000GUS
Lenovo Ideapad S340 15 81QF0005US / 81WW0004US: 1X1 WIFI
Acer Aspire 5 A515-54-51DJ: build quality is just OKish
This is a great list, very much appreciated! Do all of these best the Vivobook S15 Slim you think, as in hardware wise etc.

Any specific requirements? (eg display size, weight, battery life, number of USB ports, high sRGB display etc)
Uhh not over 15ish” on display (so max is like 15.6”?), that’s all I can think of. No chromebooks or thinkpads as I’m kinda looking for a nice looking design too.

I'm trying to find a laptop for school (prob use it for streaming services also like Hulu) and I narrowed it down to two.
or
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RF2123Z/?tag=bkadamos_alltest-20&th=1 (Is there any other color?)
The ASUS one is almost a $100 difference,and both have similar parts, am I missing something that is making it almost $100 more (that isn't the color)?
Budget $400-$600

Should not be an issue. Because unless Google uses a Moca router like Verizon does, then it wont cause an issue, because Google most likely is converting the Fiber to Ethernet at the house.
What @sazrocks is saying, is you isolate the coax that both adapters are using. Meaning they would not carry the DirectTV signal. The only issue with this, is if you need that Coax to give you TV as well, then the Moca adapters wont work. Because technically, you would take both coax cables off the DirectTV box and connec them together with a barrel connector. Essentially making just a longer coax cord with Moca on each end.
2 hours ago, sazrocks said:NOTE: As @Donut417 mentioned above, this method will not work if you still want to have TV signal from either of the wall plates that you are using for MoCA as you will be disconnecting those particular wall plates from the satellite signal. However, most people don't have satellite receivers in more than maybe a couple rooms in their house so I consider it likely that you can still use this method.
Ok, so Coax cables are like ethernet cables, but there's only one wire in them. They work point to point. One end of then ends in the wall where you see a coax wall plate. The other end ends in a cable cabinet somewhere in your house, along with most/all of the other coax cables. From what I'm hearing, most or all of the coax cables in the box will be connected to something like one of these:
Find the cables labeled for the rooms that you want to connect (hopefully they are labeled, otherwise its trial and error with a lot of possibilities or you have to buy a cable tone and probe to identify the cables yourself), and unscrew them from the splitter. Next, you need to use a coupler to connect them together, like this:
Once you have connected them, you should be able to use MoCA between the two rooms just fine.
Yeah this is exactly my problem, I need those TV as my parents want the TV so I'm pretty limited on what I can do. What I did hear from Google is that I can get another one of their pucks (Google Wifi is what theyre called) and pretty much have an acess point between two pucks in my house, and a plus with that is that the puck has ethernet within it. Idk how good it would do (if its gonna just be a powerline 2.0) but apparently I should be getting around 70% of my maximum upload and download (Google Fiber 1000) so at least 500 up and down. Way better then what I'm getting in this room atm

I have dish, its not an issue if you wire things properly.
Get a tone and probe and go to your coax box and directly connect both of the lines that you want to use for MoCA together. That way they won't be wired together with the satellite and there won't be any interference between the systems.
is there a video on youtube I can watch abouit this, I'm kinda lost/confused what I would have to do.
Sorry I'm just confused and all because I read that Google Fiber can't have MoCa networking and then wiith the DirectTv thing just lost me

What was wrong with MoCA? If you get the 2.1 adapters you should be able to get 1Gbps. I have some actiontec ones and they've been working fine for several years.
I got MoCa today and the coax cables were just not lighting up (the light on the Moca box) and I tried everything and discovered that since I have DirectTV, it was gonna be complicated for it to work since DiretTV has some Deca adapter
my whole post about it here.

Basically
If you got several of those you can easily set up a mesh network which can cover a fair bit of space.
Okay sounds good, I only need 1 for a room (2 in total), is there any downside to this using one of these pucks? I know I wont get the full 1000 up and down but do you think I can easily have a stable 400+ up and down
-
Just now, Donut417 said:
Well theres your problem. Satilite TV uses the same bands as Moca. You will need Deca adapters instead and they are only rated for 100 Mbps. Moca only works with Cable providers or with OTA TV, it will NOT work with services like DirecTV.
welp, Access point/Wifi extenders it is,

Get an access point. Wifi repeaters are janky and have shitty results
Ubiquiti has some AC's that work extremely well.
This is the wireless card I would get:

Recently got Google Fiber and my powerline has bottleneck the internet to my PC significantly, I've looked into MoCa and tried it and it just didn't work for me.
What is the best WiFi extender for a room with a PC and Xbox
Best WIFI adapter for my PC.
Note: With the powerline I'm getting like 25 up and down, and with wifi (that is near router/modem maybe around 50 up and down) But if I test it around the router with wifi, 400+ up and down

Just got a MoCa adapter from actiontec (ECB6200K02) and I seem to can't get the coax cable light to light up even though I setup it up correctly. I know both the coax cable I'm trying to hook up to the device lead to the same source. https://imgur.com/a/BimV0w7 https://imgur.com/a/F19WWtg
Room 1 (router location) : https://imgur.com/a/r9Rhnwd two pictures. Main coax port to MoCa, other coax cable TV Box
Room 2 (wanted ethernet room): https://imgur.com/a/hCDOPqK two pictures
Black Cable = Google Fiber coax leading to the Fiber Box
All pale cables = TV cables leading into walls that would give Satellite TV
I use DirectTV for TV and Google Fiber for Internet
Note: I did check if the Coax light work properly and they do.
Can Google Fiber even support MoCa?

No I cant circle the cable becuase I dont know which comes from the Pole. Follow the cabling that leaves your house and goes to the pole OR connects to the underground cable. Some areas have under ground wiring.
Ah I understand, so I think this is where I should add the filter https://imgur.com/a/Te3j7Vk
I'm not exactly sure but this is kinda a dumb question but how exactly do you know which cable is coming from the pole/street.

Firstly if that coax is being use for Internet service/TV service from a cable provider then you will need to use a Moca filter on the main cable line connecting to your home. This filter stops the 1 Ghz to 1.5 Ghz signal that moca uses from escaping your home AND it reflects the moca signal back in to your home making it stronger from what I have read.
Besides that I have heard of people also putting Moca filters on their modems. Other than that, I dont think there is much to do. Ive read that even if your spliters are not rated for bands over 950 Mhz that it should still pass the moca signal with a bit of loss, which still should work.
Can you circle the main cable for me where I should put on the filter? Also I'm new to this MoCa thing, what exactly is a filter? Is it a part, if so can you link me a picture or a website where I can buy them. The three coax cable connected to the spliter are all used for satellite TV

As long as both coax runs are on that four-way splitter, you should be fine (the frequency band looks like it will work). I also recommend a MoCA signal blocker on the public side of your network to make sure your MoCA network doesn't bleed into anyone else's.
Do you have satellite TV over the coax right now? I can't say how that will play with the MoCA adapters, so look into that if it's true.
Glad that my recommendation could help you. MoCA is probably my favorite technology that doesn't show up if you Google "ethernet over coax" (it's gotten better since I found it, thankfully).
Idk if this helps but to answer your question, yes I do have satellite TV over both of the coax cables show in separated photos. And I'm a bit new to this MoCa, so what exactly is a signal blocker? Is it this https://www.amazon.com/Filter-MoCA-Cable-Coaxial-Networking/dp/B00DC8IEE6/ref=sxin_3_ac_d_pm?ac_md=1-0-VW5kZXIgJDEw-ac_d_pm&keywords=Moca filter&pd_rd_i=B00DC8IEE6&pd_rd_r=7c00477b-e2eb-480f-9900-3e57f6c949ba&pd_rd_w=fHjhg&pd_rd_wg=E3eWr&pf_rd_p=709d2064-e546-4799-9e66-b352ea89951f&pf_rd_r=7ZFNMTA6ZW8S9FVQ5YHJ&psc=1&qid=1576286191&tag=linus21-20
how exactly would I know where I should put it on, I'm assuming here? https://imgur.com/a/Te3j7Vk

Looking to do a MoCa ethernet setup and I don't know if I have to rewire any coax cables outside to make it possible. Anyone who is an expert at this or know anything about this type of setup any feedback would be great!

Did I make the right choice on monitors (Y27Q or LG 27GL83A-B)
in Displays
Posted
I have a guilt feeling like I didn't make the right choice on my monitor choice, I got the Y27Q by Lenovo at around $370 ( but I get $40 cashback + discover it 5% so around $320) and minutes later the LG 27GL83A-B went on sale for $320 but I already bought so I didn't buy.
I know the two are very similar but does anyone have experience with the two, if so which one is better?
