Got a question you think lots of people have asked before? Then this topic is for you! (Most likely not final version, any suggestions for improvements are very welcomed).
Things to do (feel free to leave suggestions):
Edit the order from most common to least common question.
Suggest some good routers in different price brackets.
Suggest some VPN providers.
Maybe add more questions.
General polishing.
 
 
 
Why is my Internet so slow?
 
How can I improve my wireless speed?
Quick list of things you can do to improve your wireless speeds:
 
What do the different wireless standards (802.11n, 802.11ac, etc) mean?
 
2.4GHz vs. 5GHz and what does dual band mean?
What is QoS?
What is the difference between a router, a switch and a modem?
 
What should I look for when buying a router?
 
What is port forwarding and how do I do it?
 
 
How do I access my router's web interface?
 
What is the difference between Megabit and Megabyte?
 
I have heard about this thing called pfSense, what is it?
 
What is a VPN and do I need one?
 

The cable may be limited in bandwidth. Try a straight HDMI cable.

Welcome to the Displays section, where everything's made up and the specs don't matter! 
 
(EDIT: Please note this thread is quite outdated at this point; eventually I should get around to making an updated version, but that day is not today :P)
 
Response time and latency

Do you need a 5 ms response time or less for gaming?

Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) – 1,000,000:1+ "Contrast Ratios" are Just Made-up Numbers

"You can't get audio through a DVI port!"

Isn't HDMI limited to 60 Hz?

"Humans can't see more than 60 Hz anyway!"

"Why are there TVs at 600+ Hz when monitors don't go beyond ≈144 Hz?"

"Does 1920×1080 scale perfectly on 3840×2160 (4K UHD) monitors? What exactly happens when you run a non-native resolution on a display?"

Does DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync/AMD FreeSync require a new monitor or will existing monitors be upgradeable with just a firmware update?
Also, if a monitor has DisplayPort 1.2a input or higher, does that automatically mean it supports DisplayPort Adaptive-Sync?

PLS and AHVA vs. IPS

IGZO vs. IPS

LCD vs. LED

Quantum Dot vs. OLED / IPS / etc.
 

Hi everybody,
 
Let's suppose that I would like to play Cities: Skylines (with some mods and additional assets/props) on a 4K monitor running at 60fps. Leaving the CPU/RAM/... out of the equation, what graphics card(s) would I need to have in order to achieve this ?
 
(P.S. : Yes, I am fully aware that this game is very CPU-dependent, but this question's focus is about GPU requirements, not CPU)
