TV One, a Sharp Aquos 4k HDR with localised dimming This TV has Direct led backlighting related to the localised dimming. The spec sheet says the contrast ratio is only 1200:1 which sounds like it'll have muddy blacks but my understanding is that this should be corrected by the localised dimming? I cant seem to find a really comprehensive review for this TV Additional info for this TV: https://www.sharp-canada.ca/assets/ProductDownloads/1/6c3d21cd71/Sell-Sheet-Sharp-LC-75N8003U.pdf https://www.sharp-canada.ca/en/all-tvs/LC-75N8003U_75-class-4k-smart-android-tv I was unable to find any reviews or in depth spec analysis for this TV that was more current than 2016 and early 2018 which appears to be separate older models. I would really like something like this as I would be interested in seeing a nits measurement, and possibly some FOV measurements for it. TV Two, Samsung Smart 4K HDR This TV has edge led backlighting and a peak brightness of 300 nits. Static contrast ratio of 5000:1.

Audio is all handled externally, as are all smart functions, and media playing so I don't really care about apps or upscaling or anything. Based on the localised dimming I am leaning towards to Sharp TV, I was just wondering if anyone had any direct experience with especially those TV's but really any of the ones I've mentioned above. I'd just like to thank anyone thats read through all that in advance. Thank you!

A cheap gpu leaves you in a better position to upgrade later without having the wasted integrated graphics

The LTT team are always advertising for PIA, they may have a discount code or soemthing.

I cant see that going over 5-600 when you're really pushing it

I cannot, I just removed its screws and pulled it apart, was pretty straight forward.

I've got a Ducky Shine 6 and I've been super happy with it. I've even spilled water on it twice, and tea on it once. I've completely disassembled it twice to clean said spillage, and it currently works great. I'm going to give it a 10/10 for durability.

Depends on the type of metal and placement of it. I've had metal phone cases before and my phone seemed to work normally. I imagine they would just need cutouts or plastic bits near the antennas.

I also wonder if say a metal case could act as a heat sink.

Outlook not good.

Link? I've had hp monitors without vesa before and I was able to track down a (rather expensive) adapter.

Because I wanted it to be small and live in a closet in my home. I mostly just use it for plex and a headless steam remote streaming vm machine for emulated and low end games. I wanted something small that wouldn't get in the way of my limited space.

Ahh the AIO was more about lowering the average temperature of the unit. I didn't want it idling at high temps, and the case is too small for a bigger air cooler. Also I don't have central air conditioning and I don't like having the air cooled units putting out such high averages. I could definitely have gone for a better psu but the earthwatts green unit is supposed to be pretty good for that. When I got the 1050 ti a few months back they didn't have any 1650s that were low profile and didn't require require additional power. This 1050 ti is powered by the pcie

I was building it for low power usage, all parts have the lowest idle consumption I was able to find.

I think to a degree there is also a bit of intel getting complacent with their place at the top. They've been number one for so long that they seem to have been stumbling a bit lately, just look at their troubles getting to 10 nm and lower. They must be facing a significant problem with miniaturizing their architecture in a way that produces batches with decent yields if they've been working on it this long. Like mentioned above their broader overall focus could definitely contribute to some of that as well. Meanwhile AMD has focused their more limited research into some specific areas in an attempt to get ahead. Most of which are things that on top of being functionally beneficial also happen to be very marketable. More cores, low nm design, the new pcie functions, all that stuff looks great on a description sheet. Then with those squared away they've been working on the more functional items like lower power usage and actual across the board performance increases. The combination of these two things may end up meaning that for the first time in a long time we see AMD in a position to actually capture a relatively decent amount of market share. At the very least their stock prices seem to indicate that a lot of investors think AMD stock is going to see good returns over the next few years, and with all the other deals they've been working on with consoles, apples,and other embedded devices it probably will.

I have had my screen plugged in through the hub before and it works nicely. Currently I have a aorus 1080 egpu plugged into my other tb3 port and my monitor is plugged into that, which actually works less seamlessly than through the hub.

Hey, I believe those types of monitors are rather rare and usually more or less made for apple computers though they will function with anything on thunderbolt (I think). Anyway I'll tell you what I did for that; I got a plugable 100w thunderbolt3 hub with hdmi and displayport out. I got a really nice BENQ monitor and all my desktop stuff plugged in through the hub. Laptop charges from there, everything works great.

What are you setting your texture resolution to?

Thats not a good sign. Full virus scan time? See if it has an option to do a boot time scan, they catch even things that are deeply infected in there.

I've been having a lot of fun with these

Should be the same service. I was using it for a while playing sea of thieves on my PC

From the research of done into it so far it can mostly be done with off the shelf software. There seem to be a few decent speech to text programs that can be used, though i still have to pick up that kit off adafruit. I want to try and custom bake my own whole set at some point but that one seems good for a starting point.

I've been thinking about working on a project like this for a while. https://www.adafruit.com/product/4080 I figure that could be a good starting point, then after getting that base bit going I wanted to look seeing how much stuff I could route through open source speech to text software using google services as a fallback. I think its doable, to different degrees depending on how much work goes into it.

There are adapters, they are usually specific to the brand of lens and camera but they do exist. https://www.shutterbug.com/content/how-mount-vintage-slr-lens-dslr-simple-guide For more info.

Also AMD has been signing contracts left and right for the next few years. Next gen consoles, super computers, research stuff, lots of good coming down the pipe.
