Hello folks. Long time viewer, first time caller. I've made my first foray into HDR monitors with the Alienware AW3423DW. I would love a video on HDR and the differences between the various modes. I've got HDR enabled on the desktop, because it's great for YouTube HDR videos. But I don't even really know if the HDR is "active" in YouTube or if it's just the BTR.2020 colour space that makes the videos look so good. I also don't know when HDR400 or HDR1000 is "detected" by anything. Does the monitor tell the game, or does the game tell the monitor? Seems like a good video topic - and I can't seem to find anything in the back catalogue that covers this.

Can you provide some info/guidance on which units have this? I have an unRAID server that runs 24/7 and a highly reliable USB for the OS would be a good idea. I've lost some USB sticks over the years and when they do it's a total pain in the ass because it always happens when Limetech support is asleep.

I think what's more important to point out here is that these are just USB 2.0 ports that use a USB-C interface. Calling it "USB-C Audio" just confuses people and makes them think that perhaps that port will only work for an audio device. Having only a Mini-ITX setup in an IQUNIX ZX-1 (which I adore) means I'm a bit down on ports compared to my older ATX build. Knowing that I can put all my USB 2.0 devices on USB 2.0 ports (even if they are USB-C) means my motherboard back panel actually has almost as many ports available to me.

Hi everyone - long time lurker, etc etc. So, I work from home for a global company in an InfoSec role and I have three monitors all connected to a Zotac GeForce 1080ti blower (basically a reference clone). I need to find a way to consistently enforce the selection of a particular monitor at boot time (BIOS) and in Windows 10. I cannot for the life of me find a solution, because all of the typical forum posts are full of people with good intentions and zero clue giving the usual utterly useless advice for "going to your Nvida control panel". Here's what I've got: Asus P348Q 34" ultrawide - must be selected as the boot monitor, must be assigned monitor ID #1 in Windows. Connected via DisplayPort Dell P2418D 23" - mounted in portrait mode to the left of the Asus ultrawide. Connected via DisplayPort. Cheap Blaupunkt 40" 1080p TV on the wall above the desk (used for network/security monitoring dashboards). Connected via HDMI. Now before you go and ask me why I care that my 34" ultrawide is marked as monitor #1 when I can still just say "This is my Main display" in my windows settings, let me explain. I join web conferences daily, using everything from Skype for Business, Teams, WebEx, Zoom, Bluejeans, GoToMeeting, and whatever else is the current flavour of the darned month. In most of these, I need to screen share. EACH of these applications displays what they think is "screen #1" for sharing differently. Some apps respect the Windows display numbering, whereas other apps use the Windows "This is my Main Display" setting to determine what screen #1 is. And each time I go to screenshare I'm constantly saying "oops, sorry, wrong screen" in my meetings. So, please, somebody out there - tell me how the hell to fix this consistently. What ports on the card should I use? Are the card ports prioritised? Should I avoid using the HDMI port? And please - facts! Don't just pass on what you have heard because Internet forums are full of that and it is not helpful.

Definitely the Blade. I'm 42 years old and spend my days having serious meetings with serious people as an InfoSec consultant. I'd love to sit there in these serious meetings with my RGB keyboard all-a-glowing so I can be reminded that it's not all doom and gloom. Heck, maybe even put a smile on their faces and take the edge off all the seriousness. Plus if it gets really bad when they leave the room I can just fire up my favourite game and lose myself in another world for a bit. :-)
