  1. This aspect ratio for the videos is really quite stupid. I've heard the reasoning, but imo it's dumb reasoning. 16:9 looks fine on pretty much everything and when people with phones that have this weird af ratio watch anything but your content guess what? They're more than likely subject to 16:9. I have a surround setup and with how Youtube treats that, your videos look awful. Most of the time it's ok, I can ignore the side bits. But when you guys put text over there, and you've done it a few times now that i've said I was gonna make a post about it, it's almost impossible to read without pausing and thinking about it. Ignore that my monitors are different heights (thanks for the different mounting points Acer) i'm used to it, but for real just take a look at this crap. It's awful. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372983445363884034/567074153983770624/IMG_20190414_154900.jpg https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372983445363884034/567074153455419402/IMG_20190414_154904.jpg And yes I see the same info reflected at the bottom of the screen where they're pulling it from but this isn't the first time there's just been text all over the place that's super hard to read at a glance.
  2. Alright so I purchased this StarTech adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A493CNY/ and it came in the other day. With my specs of an Asus Strix 1080 and the Acer GN246HL I can confirm that it allows the monitor to go to 144Hz. When putting it into Nvidia Surround it limits my screens to 120Hz but that's fine. The adapter seems to do its job. I currently have the USB power lead plugged into a USB hub although I might get a wall plug for it at some point. Thank you for the help guys and I hope others trying to find an answer find this helpful. If there's questions maybe post here? I don't come to this forum too much anymore but I check every now and then and if there are replies i'll try to answer them. Kinda feel it's my responsibility as someone who's actually got this working. There's not enough easily searchable info out there.
  3. I'll give those a look but it looks like I really only have two options unless I wanna adapt down to mini DP (preferably not lol) so i'll pick up one of them probably. Question about active adapters if either of you know, do active adapters add latency or at least more than a passive adapter might? I suppose it wouldn't be a big deal but it might be a bit distracting at first if one of my screens is slightly behind the other two. Par for the course probably, just thought i'd ask. Thanks for the help guys, hopefully i'll be able to pick one of these adapters up here soon (might be a couple weeks) and i'll let you know how it goes. EDIT: In the reviews for the Startech one that it might be necessary to plug it into a USB wall plug. I assume the USB is only for power and that there's no data transferred to make the adapter work. Just trying to cover all my bases before ending up with one of these.
  4. I've seen a few of these topics around but they don't seem to get anywhere aside from "just get an adapter" when it's not actually that simple. I just looked at several adapters and in their specs they all say 60Hz. The only thing i've found that does anything higher are some active adapters that do 120. That's acceptable. So my problem is that I have 5 monitors and an Oculus Rift, i'll put my specs below. Graphics card Asus Strix GTX 1080 which comes with 1 DVI | 2 HDMI | 2 DP 1 Acer Predator XB241H which has a 1 DP and 1 HDMI plugged into my GPU by DP 2 Acer GN246HL which have 1 DVI | 1 VGA | 1 HDMI one plugged into the GPU's DVI and the other into the other DP through a DVI to DP adapter. 2 Asus VS228H-P which have 1 DVI | 1 VGA | 1 HDMI one of them plugged into my motherboards DVI and the other into the HDMI I would like to use the Acer monitors that are plugged into the GPU for surround gaming. But the adapter I have (didn't see this until later) doesn't do over 60Hz. Looking around it looks like the HDMI on the GN246HL monitors doesn't do over 60. I don't have an option to get new monitors or another GPU so that's right out. And I don't wanna have to get an active adapter unless it's for sure that I am gonna get at least 120. I would prefer to get 144Hz but if I have to settle for 120 I will. I just need some definitive answers on this because I would really like to be able to use these monitors for what I bought them for and if I knew I was gonna have this issue with them i'd have bought something different. I just figured there would be the adapters out there for me to be able to get what I need. Turns out it's not that simple and what I need isn't easy to find. I'm a little surprised that I can't find much information about this with a google search. I'm hoping someone here will know what I need and not just give a generic answer because i'm tired of generic answers.
  5. Played plenty. Connection matters, but as long as you're not on some bunk connection to nowhere skill matters more.
  6. If you get kills in this game it's because you have a better connection? Wow dude. Get good. Also doesn't he make enough money to... I dunno... get a good connection? I mean if he's trying to play on a tour bus on cellphone wifi or something yea he's not gonna do well. That goes without saying.
  7. Wow. Yea I we were still feeling the effects of it afterward, but it wasn't too bad thankfully. The place is like organized chaos, it's kinda fun cause that's how my mind works. I wonder if they got VTO because I don't think they could really do anything with the system down. Apparently half an entire truck didn't get shipped to us. Physically it did, but the computer said that stuff was still in another state.
  8. Interesting, I heard our network went down earlier (I work at an Amazon fulfilment warehouse) so I wonder if this is part of that.
  9. I live just across the river from Louisville. We typically get the same stuff they get around the same time, but I bet Google won't do that for us. I'm excited for it to be in the area but... yea. Maybe Time Warner will give us a speed boost anyway.
  10. I use AdBlock Plus and right now i'm not running into any ads. Here's hoping I don't.
  11. Pretty sure he already has higher quality files than the CD's will ever have. But unless he was doing it as a "haha fuck you" (which wouldn't really make sense because i'm sure it's already all over torrent sites) he'd be wanting to sell it to make money. And that he can't legally do without Bungie's permission.
  12. Can I have a Pioneer CDJ setup then? Please? I don't need four decks, just two. I'll feel like garbage for getting it and stuff but I really need a new DJ setup. The American Audio VMS 4.1 is AWFUL.
  13. I thought Fable Legends was gonna be free to play. I don't see what the big deal here is. Also to have the cross platform play with the Xbox. I mean sure the Steam version could just launch the Windows Store version but still. I could be wrong but I think you guys are making a big deal out of nothiing...
  14. I'll give it a shot, haven't messed with that stuff too much though.
  15. Hi, I don't really know how to get into this so let me start with a sort of network map. Modem is a modem router combo provided from our ISP Time Warner. I forget the brand at the moment but our previous modem of another brand did it too. Connected to that is a PC an Xbox one and two other routers. There is an Asus RT-N66U with Two PC's And an Xbox one The other router is a Linksys, not sure which model but it's a newer one with Two Xbox ones And i'm not entirely sure if there's much else connected. There are things connected to wifi on each router as well. I believe both routers are set to bridge mode to extend the network not as their own because that was causing other problems. So what happens is randomly, not sure if there's a trigger, the modem will freak out and only the Linksys router will get any traffic while my Asus router and the modem itself will let our computers day there is a connection it doesn't seem to let them get an ip address or at the least it locks the pc up while anything is trying to call to the internet at all and even communication on Lan doesn't work. It does this no matter what ports on the modem anything is plugged into and out roommate refuses to not use his router. Personally I need mine for the 5ghz band myself but. I realize getting a switch would probably fix the problem entirely but we don't have the money for that (yes I know we have a lot of stuff, but we had that prior to moving in to the apartment and now we really can't afford anything) but I feel like there's something we can do about the problem with what we have. The problem does go away if I unplug every router and the modem and let it sit for a moment and plug it all back up again. But after a seemingly random ammount of time it happens again. I've done all I know in my end and I can't find anything online about this. So I feel like you guys could be my only hope.
  16. Ah ok yea. I forgot about the back of the keypad area. Nah the pic showing the phone closed and open also showed the camera, just didn't think about it being there. Liked like there could be a model with a camera or a model with the second screen.I had two flip phones myself, both Razr so I know about the outside screen lol. I guess having the camera on the bottom half instead of the top allows user of the top screen like shown in another pic. Just a little unexpected. Thanks for pointing that out. Honestly I'd like this but gimme some outside screen stereo speakers like the htc one and I'd be sold as fuck. That's the only real downside to that phone for me. Hope someone makes a flip module for project Ara when that comes out. Would be cool imo. But I kinda have a hard on for project Ara anyway lol.
  17. I don't get the second screen and camera. I know two way glass exists but it looks like there's two different models?
  18. I suggest it too, and up until recently (they're working on it though) you could download entire channels. I did that for a couple hard style channels. Pretty much don't listen to it outside of DJing though. Supposedly using youtube as a public resource makes what I do with it legal. Haven't looked it up, but from a friend that recommended it to me told me that. I dunno how true or misconstrued that is though. Otherwise I just listen to http://radio.qdance.nl/ and get my hardstyle fix there or watch live sets on YouTube .
  19. Yea I wondered what that was about earlier. I forget what it said but it was pretty out of context and just looked like one of those spam ads.
  20. Didn't think about that actually lol. Good point.
  21. I know this is just meant to be the hexes but a black background with orange hexes could look like da bomb. Also I really like that logo.
  22. Uh... because i'm guessing those games and features don't work on 5.1? Miracast I can see being the biggest issue because i'd assume they're still making updates to that, unless that can't be updated on the Shield. But the games, yea i'm assuming Sega and whoever makes that other game just aren't making updates for 5.1 and they don't work. There's a game I wanna buy, The World Ends With You that I want for my phone but it doesn't work on Android 5 and higher because of ART. So I won't buy it until/ if Square wants to update the game. I don't really see why this is a big issue. If you wanna be mad at anyone, then be mad at the people not updating shit to work on the new OS OR poor backwards compatibility on Google's part.
