I have an XPS 17 9700 kitted out with an i9-10885H, 32 GB of memory, RTX 2060 Max-Q, and 1 TB SSD, and I've been loving it so far. 
 
If you're still considering an XPS device, I think they're a great blend of powerful CPU and memory performance in a very professional looking package, i.e. it's very MacBook-esque in aesthetic. They're GPU's are pretty good, too, considering it's in a thin package, though they can get pretty costly. As I said, my XPS 17 is pretty kitted out, and before discounts it should come to around $3,000, and I still had to pay around $2,400 for mine. Though then again, Dell will frequently have sales going on to better justify the price of their products. 
 
Here's a link to a new XPS 15, which can be selected in a black or white interior (I reeeaaaally wish Dell had a white option for the XPS 17. IMO it looks so much better than the black) https://www.dell.com/en-us/member/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-15-laptop/spd/xps-15-9510-laptop/xn9510evbcs
 
Not sure if this would be a problem for you, but the XPS laptops only have Thunderbolt/ USB-C, headphone, and SD card slot ports. Idk if you personally need HDMI, display, USB-A, or anything else, but the XPS is somewhat lacking, though all XPS devices should include a dongle for USB-A and HDMI.
 
All in all, I highly recommend the XPS 15 and 17.

have you tried isolating the problem? like swapping tv's , and hdmi cables? also make sure to turn off any affects like atmos

Awesome, I'll give all this a listen! Thanks for that 👍👍

If you're looking for strictly gaming podcasts.  I enjoy Spawncast, Nintendo Power, Game Informer Show.  I was listening to some of  Wulff Den Live when it was still going on.  It's on hiatus, they're supposed to be restructuring it and bringing it back though.  
 
If you want a couple other non-gaming decent pocasts, VORW International Podcast is good, so is The Official Podcast, though mature content warning on that, it's very much NSFW on some of the stuff they talk about, they have very crude senses of humor (it's Critikal if you know who that is).

So do I, yeah obviously more a tech in general podcast. I also listen to "Kinda funny games daily". Check that one out if your looking for something more game focused! 👍

I love the WAN Show, but I wouldn’t describe it as a gaming podcast. I would also like more recommendations for gaming podcasts!

Rooster Teeth has a bunch of podcasts - some are kinda weird tho. A really good one they have is called Black Box Down. An aviation related podcast where Gus and Chris talk about different accidents in aviation and sorta break them apart to figure them out more.

I just started listening to one called Triforce! It's a mix of gaming stuff along with life stuff; really funny.

Those are three I religiously listen to whilst playing games.

Market stats says otherwise. 
Are you sure you're not (incorrectly) interpreting "this is what I have used" into "this is what everyone uses". 
 
Anyway, I haven't used Junos but I can't imagine it is that much different from other vendors like Aruba or Cisco. 
If you learn the theory behind how everything works then it shouldn't be too hard to do basic stuff regardless of vendor.

Learn both (or realize employers want knowledge of concepts much more than "how do you configure BGP without a CLI book" on X device)
I would suggest looking at NetworkChuck or other youtubers for basic experience and growing from there.

From experience, juniper is much more widely used(ref EU backbone network ran by GEANT) with cisco almost exclusively used for terminal servers and switches 
 
 
Perhaps better advice would be to get familiar with cisco and juniper syntax, or even better yet, look into hiring companies and see what they use

Start with Cisco CCNA. Read the books, take the cert. Use CBT Nuggets or INE in addition to the books if needed. Even if you don't end up working with Cisco equipment. The learning material and certifications is much higher quality, and often more desired compared with certs from other vendors.
 
Learning Python will also be a huge plus, and needed if Cisco Devnet sounds interresting to you.

Bad advice, because that entirely depends on which vendor you end up working with.
Learning a bunch of Junos syntax will be completely and utterly useless if you end up working somewhere they don't use Juniper equipment.
 
 
OP, look into the CCNA routing and switching material. It's the entry level networking cert from Cisco and it goes over all the basics. You don't have to take the cert if you don't want to (can be expensive, and difficult) but any guide or video that is aimed at making people pass CCNA will give you a good understanding of basic networking.
Here is a reddit thread about studying for CCNA which ahs some good advice and resources:
 

Learn junos syntax more than cisco, no. 1 piece of advice!

What's your current career?

Thanks for your input and the channel recommendation 😀 Its all valuable! I'm doing a comptia network+ to learn the concepts, and researching vendors used in Aus.

Yeah I was gunna start learning Python for fun when I have a bit more time. Thanks for the advice 👍👍
