    It is hilarious to see this video being posted. A few weeks ago I submitted an RMA request because my 600w SMART series power supply (exact same one in the video) causes no display issues with my testbench after less than a year of ownership. They denied RMA stating it was purchased through a third party on Amazon, but yet Amazon's support says to go to Thermaltake? Not a good look for their brand and I'm stuck not sure what to do with this paperweight. Corsair's RMA process was amazing when I had to go through them for a family member's dead PSU.

    I'd say look up a bunch of reviews, and especially ones which include test charts and the likes which show accuracy, contrast, etc. of the panel. I'm not so sure about that one since for the price you are getting a TN panel. I'd go for VA or IPS over TN, unless of course you are an extremely competitive FPS player. I actually just bought a LG 32GK650F, and 32 inches is definitely reaching a TV-on-your-desk size. But the VA panel quality is very good, and the whole "ghosting" that is the negative downside is not noticeable by myself, then again I don't play fast-paced games. I will also say you need quite a setup if you are getting a 1440p monitor, as playing games at 1080p is impossible from what I've seen so far due to scaling. If you have more than a 1060 6GB you should be mostly okay, especially going to need it for Cities Skylines.

    For that screen size I'd say that 1080p is going to look quite blown up and blurry, at least from my research. People typically say go for 1440p for 27 inches, so 32 inches I'd say 4k or if necessary 1440p.

    Looking for something to act as a sort of "mini theater" display at my desk, also providing true-to-life gaming performance. Mostly looking for a 27 inch size and 1440p or 4k, since that's the sort of sweet spot of resolution. 2500+ contrast ratio (More than likely a VA panel without the glow), 100+ refresh rate, and of course good colors. Not really sure about G-Sync since it's a more premium feature, and FreeSync on most monitors work for Nvidia cards, but real G-Sync monitors do go through quite a bit of testing to ensure quality. Anyways, I was mostly thinking about the AOC C24G1, but it is only 1080p and a 24 inch screen size. Something very similar at a higher res and size would be nice. If nothing I'll just get the AOC, unless there are better options.

    I'm going ahead and returning the screen, as I can already hear people saying "Reinstall display adapters, install latest drivers, make sure the connector is tight!". All I need to know now is what is the best screen to buy.

    Bought a GS63VR from my work, screen was shattered so I bought a new one off Ebay. I was guaranteed a LTN156HL01-104 model but I got a NT156FHM-N41 model (Significantly worse). Currently am returning that one, and bought a 120hz LCD from Amazon (Expected model N156HHE-GA1, got B156HTN05.1) and it came in today. Looks okay, definitely better than the other one, although it is very funky displaying darker colors compared to my desktop monitor, and I cannot for the life of me change the brightness. I think the weird sort of blend of dark colors is because of the brightness, but I've tried drivers and everything the internet has told me to do. Should I just return this screen as well and try to get a better one again..? Anyone who currently has a MSI gs63vr 7rf have any recommendations on the best LCD to get?

    Eh, I've pretty much already done that atleast 4 times

    I did look up the battery cost before buying and thought that it would still be worth it. I'm probably not going to do the "repair it myself" route.

    Their technician already knew about it and there was a sticker on the screen saying "Needs new battery", probably why it was being sold for $300 for such good specs and in practically new condition. I booted it up, uninstalled the battery driver, turned it off and unplugged the battery then plugged it in and turned it on, as one article mentioned doing. Unplugging it while its on kills the machine. Also, not too sure about tearing a battery open to replace the cells..

    I brought it to the computer repair store I work at earlier today and used the universal charger as at first I thought it was the wrong wattage or something similar to what Dell likes to do with its laptops. Still did the same thing.
  11. Chriscosmo12
    Nope. It will instantly turn off as if there's no battery.
  12. Chriscosmo12
    Alright, so a replacement is probably necessary?

    As stated in the title, my ASUS Q524U laptop I got at a pawn shop yesterday is not wanting to charge, and I'm unsure why. I've opened the laptop and the battery and connector look brand new. I've attempted reinstalling the battery drivers, and running it with only the AC adapter plugged in. I'm unsure if I really need to fork over the $55 for one on EBay or if there's an easier solution.

    I've got plenty of money and my own fairly new PC, I just wanted to fiddle around with old computer components and have a sort of collection to show people. And I'll keep the town hall thing in mind.

    I don't happen to live anywhere near a freegeek, sadly, else I'd be there practically every day. Same thing with electronics recyclers, I'd have to drive around two hours away to find one.
