  1. Feels like it. It may be that my situation is just very unique and niche, so there are no offers with any 'premium' tech at all. It's just a bit weird that there are no attempts from the tech developers to implement anything to 24" options - at all.
  2. So I'm a long time user of 24-25" monitors on my PC. The case is: my space for PC is limited so I prefer to have more monitors in my multimonitor setup instead of having less of these but the bigger ones or the higher resolution ones. First and foremost for the productivity and multi-window purposes. So I have 3 24" monitors instead of 2 27" ones. The case is: almost all the bells and whistles that are being developed for monitors are only available on monitors of 27" size or above. For sure, you can get a high refresh rate 24" monitor. But that's pretty much it. What if I want to have a brightness higher than 400 nits? No options at all. MicroLED? MiniLED? Local dimming? QLED? QD-OLED? OLED? HDR? Brightness above 400 nits? Thunderbolt connectivity? All of that is missing on the monitors smaller than 27". So I wonder why.... I would be happy to buy these but there are just no options at all - at any prices. It is aspecially weird when you concider the fact that they are re-releasing the same stuff over and over again on 27"+ displays. But 24-25" are concidered to be budget displays I guess?.. What are your thoughts on that matter? Why is that the case? Why there is such a huge difference between 27"+ displays vs. 24-25" displays?
  3. I've got 144 hz displays recently after using 60 hz display for many years. And I am sure they are connected properly and work in 144 hz. I can see the difference, but only in some specific cases and only if I pay attention to it trying to recognize the difference. So yes, this is something totally personal. There is some difference out there, but it is nothing even close to be game changing or revolutionary for me. It's like.... A bit faster and smoother, but nothing special. Image quality, brightness and contrast impress me much more. However, I can totally see the difference while using Gsync, which is the main reason I've bought 144 hz display. I've had tonns of issues with my games running in 80-100 fps and looking like it's 20 fps. Now it's all gone with gsync. This one really makes a difference for me.
  4. I guess if you want to use two 16:9 sections or something like that you have to go with multiple 16:9 or 21:9 monitors. With one 32:9 screen you are forced to use your games in windowed mode or 32:9 fullscreen.
  5. There are some options available out there but all of them are made by some no-name companies, so no guarantee they will be high quality or any good at all.. I guess there is only one way to find out. However, they do exist. Here are some pics for example:
  6. Finally got these monitors! Now I can also confirm that everything can be used on every screen at the same time: 1080p 144 with gsync enabled on every screen or while using them in surround! Here are some photos of my new multiscreen setup
  7. Thank you very much! Well, maybe it's a matter of confidence, not sure, maybe one day I'll give it a try and record some tech review completely in english, sounds really interesting!
  8. Well, I wanted to buy this laptop for a while now. However there are absolutely no video reviews of this generation with same specs neither in english or russian (my native language). Also you can't find one in any offline store, only online. So I decided to do a review myself after using it for a while. This is not an ad for my channel or something - my channel is basically dead, I don't ask you to subscribe or something. Just want to share my experience and my thoughts on this laptop, maybe that is something someone was searching. Here is the video, enjoy, and don't forget to turn english subtitles on since my accent is too strong for me to speak english well and I speak russian in this video. But I've added the subtitles for my english speaking friends
  9. Well, the case here is I am going to use three screens for work as well, and in this case it's more productive this way than with 21:9 or 32:9, since I am able to locate 6 windows (2 per screen) at the same time which is something I really need for work and I can use it with windows basic functions like windows + arrow keys. So surround gaming is just one of the cases for this setup. But if I won't be able to set all three monitors to work at 144 hz, there is absolutely no reason for me to buy more expensive monitors and then I am going to look for some 60 to 75 hz versions instead. I've got RTX 3070 with triple displayports on it so theoretically it should work, but I just don't know if I'll be able to use all three monitors up to their potencial. As for games, there is plenty of games out there that work very nice with surround setups. Racing games are the ones that provide the most immersion this way.
  10. Hello everyone! At the moment I am in the middle of process of choosing the new monitors. I want to buy three of them for nvidia surround and additional productivity. That is not the first time I am going for multimonitor setup. But here is the question: if I'll choose 144 Hz (or more) monitors, are all of them going to work with this refresh rate? Also, will I be able to enable Nvidia Surround with 144 Hz? I was pretty sure that it's possible but one of the shops told me that it might not be possible. So now I am really interested!
  11. I feel like this solution is something I would buy. Thermal paste application is one and only procedure in computer building which is measured by eye, you just have to apply "enough" which is not as straight forward as attaching new card or something where you have just one way of doing it and nothing can go wrong at all. So this package would make it as straight forward as putting a graphics card in PCI-e slot. I've built a few computers successfully but I still feel a bit stressed when I have to apply a thermal paste. I personally love this new approach. Speaking of wasting more than you could without this approach, I renew my paste not so often so when it happens the package is either lost already or it's dried out already. So I buy a new package every like 5 years or so and it's not that expensive for this kind of regularity.
  12. So I've got this nice little ultrabook made by Sony which is called Sony SVD112A1WV or Sony Vaio Duo 11. And I loved it till the day it misteriously broke. It still works (all the computing power, keyboard, connectors, battery and stuff) and, i've got to say, works fast. However one day I turned it on and found my screen in broke: I found some massive spots of image distortion. And in a couple of weeks they've became much larger. The glass is totally fine and not shattered, I wasn't dropping it, it was in the same temperature as before, there was nothing heavy on it. The display just died on itself with no reason at all. While trying to figure things out I've found tonns of users experiencing the same issue with this model in more recent years starting from 2018-2019. Some of them are speculating that it's Sony's way to disable the devices so we would go and upgrade which would mean that Sony made the display this way intentionally so it would die in like 6 to 8 years. Like it's just a model faulty part which is made to die this soon (well, not that soon, to be honest, it's been like 8 years for my particular unit already). The main thing is: I couldn't find any services, including the official ones working with Sony in my region, who would have these displays in stock. They all say that Sony only produces the spare details for like 5 years or so and then they abandon the support for outdated products. So here are a few thoughts I'd like to share and discuss: 1) Is there a chance to find a spare display somewhere in the world? I couldn't find it on lots of sites, maybe you could help; 2) Should I even try? It still works fast and suits me completely but I'm not sure this problem won't happen again real soon, as well as I'm not sure about the possible price, it could be extremely expensive to fix it; 3) Is this situation common for laptops / ultrabooks? Or Sony? I still have my huge gaming ROG laptop from the same year and it works just fine. But this ultrabook is like super massively dying nowadays, as current owners massively report. So here are some photos of my laptop at it's current state: Oh, and one more thing. When it happened, I found the display glass to be really sticky like there is some kind of liquid running out of the display. Creepy stuff!
  13. Grid Autosport is worth mentioning as well. It's a console / pc game port which taken it all. Not sure if there are any android phones yet capable of running it maxed out without any lag.
