Yeah I'm doing some reading on Mini LED IPS being probably the best of both worlds.. Looking for a good 27" option as well

Thanks for the reply - any more ideas from anyone?

I have 2 ageing s2415h Dell monitors which have been absolutely fine for me over the years. My use case sees me spending most days doing productivity/office work, but about 2 hours per day on average, gaming. I don't have a state of the art rig, but I do have one capable to run at 1440p on some games (9060xt, Ryzen 5700X3D...) I have toyed with biting the bullet on a 49" ultra wide and segregating the minit using Fancy Zones or similar but the OLED is arguably going to produce poor text which is 80% of my use case. I did grab 2 x Lenovo Legion R27qe, but sent them back due to the massive light bleed in corners. I'm at a bit of a loss...my gut tells me multiple monitors might be better for viewing angles etc but I'm honestly so confused now. Help?!? Anything you need to know to assist - just ask - please!?

Thanks for the help all..decided to go a slightly different way. Monitors have been sent back, and I think I'm going to cop a 9600 XT when they drop, then look for a monitor later.

I get the tech, I'm just astounded that these monitors which are, 10 years old than the R27qe ones, are better at it.....even given the increased size of the newer ones. Perhaps the monitors are just crap?

Help me before I send these back... I've had 2 x Dell S2415H 1080p 60Hz monitors for years now. I'm slowly upgrading, and thought my next best course of action would be to grab a monitor upgrade. I grabbed 2 x Lenovo R27qe (1440p 180Hz). I'm seriously considering sending them back as my 1080 displays are "better". Talk me in/out of it?! Let me explain - the Dell monitors are 24" and are WLED displays with 1000:1 static contrast and 8000000:1 dynamic contrast. The R27qe are 27" monitors, same WLED display tech, same static contrast but 3000000:1 dynamic contrast. Because I'm not sitting any further away, the edges are darker/out of contrast when sitting up close. I've tried settings I've found on here but they haven't really helped. I need real estate for my productivity which accounts for about 75% of my time using my rig, and gaming/media consumption takes up the rest. My budget is relatively static at about £400 in total. Should I: 1. Persevere with the 2 x R27qe 2. Go back to me Dell's and look for better QHD displays 3. Look at an alternative like Ultrawide Rig: * Ryzen 7 5700X3D * Asus X470-Prime Pro motherboard * 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vengence @ 3000 * RTX 2070 MSI Armor 8GB

These comments are almost as embarrassing as this situation. The long and short is that it's obvious that messages and rhetoric in private or public seems to contain a number of passive aggressive comments veiled as constructive criticism. Both as bad as each other. They just need their bottom's smacking and told not to act like children

I don't often post but lurk.....I just feel I should post something on this because I think people sometimes miss a salient point These guys both make me laugh, quite a bit. The pseudo-incredulation of each 'company', and their respective faces, is laughable. It's embarrassing enough that Linus goes on a 20-min rant with thinly-veiled threats on an informal podcast with his cohort sitting there uncomfortably. Say what you want about this bit but Linus should also be aware LMG isn't "2 but" company anymore and spouting legalese like he did has real world repercussions and can be taken NO other way. The 'receipts' Steve has provided only upped the 'petty' in my opinion. I literally laughed out loud when they proceeded to give a timeline of, essentially, Steve getting a new phone. Did it attempt to rebuff Linus' assertions? Yes, but it's so playground it's beyond me how this was ever signed off to be published. Therein lies my final thought. New wave digital media has allowed people with limited interpersonal skills and embryonic business acumen to create incorporated or limited companies; this sort of thing just outlines how 'basic' some of these owners and employees are. Hilarious.. Keep going as it's making me simultaneously feel great about myself and wiser for you guys lol

Yes, I see them too however I now have the 5700X3D which isn't a G series and it's not a 2nd gen either

Yes, but it only has 7th gen A series chips on the compatibility list...

I seem to recall this x470 board being a little picky, especially dependant on the chip installed too. I'd just like to find some literature somewhere that defines compatibility, but Asus seem to have removed the standard stuff.

Greetings! My Ryzen 2600X, MSI Armor RTX 2070, 32GB DDR4, rig is getting a bit old and I am looking at upgrading my dual 1080p monitors to something a little more modern and not being so CPU bound in games, utilising the GPU a little more. The first part of the upgrade is a new CPU; 5700X3D, still on my Asus Prime Pro x470 board. The question I have is what RAM I should be looking at? I've got some pretty slow 3000Mhz 8GB sticks (4) right now, but as I'm getting a CPU upgrade I thought I'd get some fast RAM at some point. The documentation on the Asus site seems to have different compatibility depending on the CPU installed, but does NOT have recommendations for 5-series. Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks for the replies guys. My only issue with Defender is the cross-platform aspect and the Centralised Control for home use.

Hi all, I have a number of Windows and Android/Apple devices on my home network. Previously I've used Webroot Secureanywhere client on Windows/Android to secure these devices. It's unobtrusive, and it just "worked" but lately it's been getting more and more expensive, whilst my devices have reduced. What I'm after is: Central Management Console Light on resource/Cloud based is an option A good track record. Any suggestions?

I'd actually like to see an LTT series where they get "average Joe GenZ" guinea pigs to use 80's and 90's tech and see what they make of it. Do one on PCs, TVs, Phones, Audio content, etc
