Maybe I'm not even asking the right question lol. I'm looking to buy a large display (40-45") to replace my 10+ yo Samsung TV that is slowly dieing. I have a 27" BenQ XL2720Z 144hz, but it's too small to game on for now. My needs have changed and I want to combine TV and monitor as the same display for computer and entertainement needs (Netflix, Youtube) instead of a separate desk with monitor/computer. I think buying a monitor will do better in the long run, like pixels that are always lit the same (I think of Windows taskbar) and its better suited for computer/gaming needs. It also offers 144hz and have greater refresh rate. TVs have more crisp colors, however pixels seems more fragile, less suited for computer/gaming needs and might last less longer than a monitor, offer a maximum of 120hz and lesser refresh rate. But considering my needs and that I use my display around 80 hours a week, is there really a big difference between 120hz and 144hz? When the difference become perceptible? Is there anything else to take into account?

Sorry this post a bit old now, but I wanted to thank you for the idea! I actually bought that and made a great little PC for him. Even tried gaming on it and it works like a charm. Great price, great little machine. Thanks a lot!

It looks like the only options are the 43.0" Asus Rog Strix 120 hz and the Swift 144 hz but on Asus website they only sell 65.0" now... Are there new unheard options available or coming soon?

He has an iPad and hates it. I really try to make him love it, but in vain. That's exactly what I planned at first. As I was planning to make him a PC build and find him great quality peripherals to go along, I thought it would be the perfect budget. I really want him to have a nice monitor with a sharp display and at least 27". I also missed to tell that I'm in Canada and electronics costs twice as much as in the USA. Do you have an exemple of the build you're suggesting? I wanted to make him a mini ITX PC, but I find there is not much mini ITX case for sale in Canada... The form factor is really important. You're totally right for wireless keyboard, its already planned. Yes, mainly and watching videos. I just want the build to be future proof as long as possible. Mainly browsing. How is HP quality nowadays? I heard that HP isn't offering good quality products and have high prices. Not sure where I heard that tho. I beg to differ. I'll certainly look over your suggestion. Sorry, forgot to tell. I'm from Québec, Canada. Mainly browsing and watching videos. I just want the build to be future proof as long as possible.

At first, I was planning to build my father a new computer, but I have experience only with gaming computers and, as silly as it seems, I feel a bit lost with all the choices for a lower-end PC. I'm not sure what's enough and what's overkill for his needs. He currently own an old laptop. Therefore he also needs to buy a keyboard, monitor and speakers. He also plan to put his desk in the middle of his living room. It's gonna do quite a bit of cables. That's when I thought about an all-in-one PCs but this is a market I'm really not familiar with. Is there an recommendations I should look for? I'd like him to have at least a 27" monitor because he has problems with his sight. He has a budget of 1300$ with taxes top. That should be good for 5 years isn't?

I went to Staples and it was very disappointing... Overall quality was so cheap, even the gaming chairs. Most of em cannot be customize (seat angle, backseat, armrest angles and length). Is there an other place where they sell good quality chairs? For me a chair is like a pair of shoes. I like to try them before buying, so buying online before trying isn't really my thing. Are there any store other than Staples where to sell a good choice of chairs? Forget IKEA... I'm in Quebec, Canada (Estrie). Thank you!!

To answer if my partner is torrenting, yes he is. He uses NZBget. I just found where I can set a download rate. But how much should I put? Because we're told that we have 120/20 mBits of download/upload., but in reality this isn't exactly true. So how do we know or true download power and speed and what could be a good number to put in there? I also looked at my router's settings and I found QoS. But if setting the download rate in NZBget, should I use the router anyway?

Hi! I need some help with managing my bandwidth. We have a 120 mBit/s download connection. My life partner downloads a ton of stuff which takes all the connection and I'd like to fix that once and for all. I don't know if it is possible, but I'd like to have a portion of the bandwidth always available so the internet is not all sucked up to one place. I have an Asus rt-ac66u router. I don't know how to measure this, but I'd like the equivalent of both of us playing moba of free bandwidth, or watching 1080p/Netflix/Plex/Youtube. I just want to make sure that even if we are downloading, our quality of life isn't affected. Also, is there a way that the router knows that we don't play or use it so it could give back all the available bandwidth? If not I don't care I mainly need a solution so I don't have a crazy ping and lag all the time when I play. Sorry for my bad english.. Is there a term to call what I want?

I'm currently looking for a used phone, because it makes no sense to me to pay over 500$ for a phone. Koodo is offering the Pixel 2 for 480$ over a 2 year contract (Large Tab) and the cheapest used Pixel 2 I found was 650$ and 2 hours drive away. I'm not really keen about contracts either, but I could actually take the contract and pay the phone right away. Is this really a good deal or there is something I don't know?

I'm not dead set on an other HTC, not at all, but I've got 2 HTC in my life and I've always been very satisfied. So going else where is just new to me. I find the Pixel 2 a bit to light for my taste. And I can't find a used one under 600$ and less than 2 hours drive away.. How does the Samsung Galaxy compare? And how the Pixel 1 is compared to its successor?

I usually use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC to print 11 x 17 documents. Its engineering documents so it needs to be printed real size, with automatic portrait or landscape orientation. The thing I totally hate with this program is that you can't change the default paper size. Letter is set as default and I very rarely use it. I'd like to have the paper size set to ledger (11 x 17) permanently, closing or shutting down the PC. Couldn't find how yet. I have Foxit Reader, but I find it confusing. There is so many options and its not very clear weither I'm printing true size or not, and I didn't find how to set my preferences there either. It just seem to reset every time I close it down. TLDR: I'd like a very simple PDF reader that saves my default printing preferences permanently even if I close and shutdown my PC. Tried Foxit reader, didn't helped.

Hello yall! I currently have a HTC One M8. Its getting very old now, but I'm not really aware of what phone is out there. I'm so in love with the quality of the screen (you can't see the pixels, colors are so vivid, never seen a screen comparable), its sturdiness, its perfect weight, its size, its stainless back, etc. But especially the screen and its for that reason I haven't changed yet. My bf has the new Pixel 2, and its nothing like the M8 imo. Its too lightweight and for some reason I can't keep it in my hand lol, i'm having a hard time having a good grip... Anyway, the M8 has served me very well many years, but its time to change. Its getting laggy, camera/light sensor is broken... I paid 250$ used for it and I'd like to find an other deal like this. I'm not willing to go with iPhone. I've seen the new iPhone X, its screen is amazing, but paying over 1k$ makes no sense to me. Is it me or HTC is not sold anywhere now? I can't recall having seen a HTC in a phone booth for a while. My brother had an M8 and thats why I felt in love with it. Sorry for my bad english.. TLDR: Looking for HTC One M8 replacement. Must have same or better screen/sound quality and sturdiness. Not necessarily looking for the most powerful phone, but I'd like it to last me an other 4 years. Want it to be a good overall phone. I'm not very aware of what is out there. Also not looking to pay more than 500$. Very willing to buy used. Won't pay phone monthly. I'm in Quebec, Canada. Thank you

I wish to have internet at my future place and can't really find my answer. Ebox offers me 120 Mbit/s with cable (for 69,95$/m (Quebec, canada) and free installation) or Videotron offers 120 Mbit/s with optical fiber (for 80,95$/m and 60$ installation). Is there really a difference in speed because the 2 have a limit of 120 Mbit/s? and what justify the price? We download a lot and stream a lot of high quality content on Plex. A bit of insight could be much appreciated, thank you

I bought exactly the one you suggested, arrived today. Works perfectly! A big thank you for your helps and your advices

Wow thank you!! How do you know if the item is in Amazon's warehouse?
