I have been using Microsoft's Wireless Display Adapter, the older 1080 one, and it is OK. Most of the time it would connect and work as expected for presentations and similar. Now I am looking at 4K Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter and it is around 4 years old, so I am wondering if there has been any improvement in the Miracast field and if there have been any good adapters for that. I need that purely for Windows and focus on reliability, so no stopping because of overheating after 2 hours of presentations. I do want it to be Miracast, and NOT Chromecast. Have you had any experience with any of the newer Miracast adapters?

I got this 4k TV back in 2019, but then suddenly the screen turned off. It wouldn't go beyond the stage of startup of the screen starting to illuminate then turns off. Does that over and over. I left it unplugged for months, maybe a year, and it started working properly after. Then after a week it went back to starting to turn on then off again. I asked around, somebody said it may be one of the capacitors.

Hi Folks, I've got High Quality 500+ movies on my USB Hard Disk, and I'm planning to buy an AV Receiver (For e.g. Yamaha RX-V6A) to play them. The end goal is to build a home theatre. What will be the best way to play/stream my movies? I have a 65" 4K Google TV (Sony X82L), and a high end PC (AMD 7800 X3D CPU + AMD 7900 XTX GPU). I researched a lot, but I didn't find a proper solution. I don't know if I should build a Jellyfin media server on my old laptop or is there some other way to play the movies using the AV Receiver. Please help guys. Thanks and regards.

Hello everyone! For some background context, I've been troubleshooting and trying to get HDR working for 2 months now... I had bought a new TV, two new PCs, new GPU, new cables. I'm slowly ready to rip my hair out by frustration.... ... Latest status: ordered brand new HDMI 2.1 cables to be 100% that the cables aren't at fault. After noticing nothing happened on ubuntu I switched back to windows for the third time but for the first time on this new TV. Windows 10 automatically installed GPU drivers and after a short screen refresh i automatically finally had HDR10! notif. From windows said it had automatically detected the display thus turned it on... radiating with happiness I went to get my HDD with HDR content to finally test it. As I came back 15 minutes later, HDR was off, and I could not toggle it on in the settings no more. It is supported but as soon as I toggle it the screen flashes dark and HDR turns itself off after less than a second. I had suspected the Windows updates had caused this, so I reinstalled win. Again, but this time the first thing I did was disable and block ALL Windows updates. HDR worked again... as I went into settings and changed the res. From FHD to 4k > HDR immediately turned itself off again. It couldn't be turned back on again, same as before. What is causing this!? Could someone please help find the source of this problem? I've been working on my home cinema project for over a year now, and I find it ridiculous i have to troubleshoot a base feature of a high-end TV for 2 months… I would really like to finally finish this project. TECHNICAL DETAILS /specifications: PC: current gpu: AMD RX6400 4GB HDMI 2.1 ITX (previous: gtx 1050TI ITX) cpu: Intel I5 6500 mobo: Asus B150I PRO gaming aura ram: 16GB DDR4 2133Mhz psu: bequiet! poer 9 500W SSD: 500GB crucial MX300 sata 2.5" HDD: WD mybook 8TB (WD RED) Windows 10 Pro AV/R: Onkyo TX-SR393 5.2 HDR / HDR10 / Dolby Vision / HLG ARC current TV: Hisense E7KQ 75" QLED 2023 HDMI eARC HDR / HDR10 / HDR10+ / Dolby Vision / HLG previous TV: Samsung UE58NU7179 LCD 2018 HDMI ARC HDR / HDR10 / HDR10+ / HLG in TV settings HDMI mode: "enhanced" firmware: up to date (otherwise apparently the TV cant achieve HDR) I heard HDR auto-detection could be causing this some more proprietary settings and formats from the TV manufacturer because "why not" :)... And maybe also some Windows drivers that are being installed automatically? All help appreciated and thank you in advance!

Budget (including currency): $5000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: presentation software for multiple large screens Other details I'm building a PC for my church. I've been out of the building game for a while so I need some help on picking out the parts. I need to run 2 large screens @4K 60hz (or faster), a 4K monitor, and a 1080P screen. We need something that's going to last for years and be very reliable. We allowed a fairly generous budget for future proofing. Don't really care about RGB or fancy stuff. Preferrably air cooled for reliability as it may run for some time unsupervised and with multiple users. Budget doesn't have to include peripherals, but it would better if we could include it. Thank you guys! Edit: I want to include some extra details. Our presentation software needs about 20gb of memory just for itself plus the OS and other things. We have the top of the line iMac currently with 64gb ram and I've seen it over 90% usage. The processor and graphics can't keep up as it glitches constantly. Our software becomes more and more power hungry with every update so we want to go all out for the future. I9 processor or equivalent. 7200mbs/t ram. Roughly a 4080 graphics card or similar.

Hello friends, I need your help with a difficult choice regarding a projector. I'll explain in more detail. I am part of an art association that manages an ancient salt warehouse (15th century) in Venice. We are activists who participate in the life of the space totally voluntarily, and our association has been active now since way back in 2007. Money and equipment have always been tight, but in the last year we have managed to save a little treasure to finally make a well-deserved upgrade to our projector. Now we come to the tech tips. We need a 4k video projector, laser, with good color spectrum fidelity, and that can possibly fit within a budget of 1.5/2.5k euros. At the moment our screen on which we project, has a size of about 400 cm in length, for a diagonal of approximately 180/190 inches. we will prefere to use a ceiling mount, so no laser tv or Ultra Short Throw. Mainly the projector will be used for film projections, in very low light conditions ( the space can be easily darkened) or presentation or events with a little more light, but no sun light in the space. obviously a more professional solution would have fulfilled our needs easily, but being a Nonprofit organization and living in one of the most beautiful, but unfortunately expensive cities in the world, there is not much left to invest in equipment. also as a complication, not all models are available in Europe. For example, I had my eye on the BenQ HT4550i, but it seems to be unavailable in italy at the moment. so these are my choices of projectors available on the market ( and relatively off-the-shelf. I need it for an event in 1 month) : Optoma UHZ66 LG CineBeam HU710PW BenQ TK700STi Hisense C1 what do you think? do you have any other suggestions, tips or solutions to offer? I leave attached a photo of the space. If you need more data or details, please do not hesitate to ask! Thank you in advance for your help! Ciao Davide

Hi, I've been having some trouble connecting my tablet to my monitor with a usb c to displayport cable. When connecting with a usb c to hdmi adapter and a hdmi cable, it works fine, but only at 1440p, due to the adapter I have not being high enough bandwidth. The monitor is 4k, and I'd like to use it at that resolution. I've tested the cable (AmazonBasics type c to displayport) with my laptop and it works fine, furthermore, my phone (Samsung galaxy xcover 6 pro) is able to use the cable and output to the display in dex mode. However, connecting the cable to the tablet results in a 'display connected' popup but no signal on the monitor. I've genuinely got noidea what's causing this, as every component seems to work separately, but not together. Any help would be appreciated, thanks Edit: Even if dex won't support 4k, I'd still prefer to use the displayport cable for this monitor as it stays on my desk while the hdmi adapter gets carried around with me in my bag for using while out at uni libraries.

I have in no game a option for 4k...I have a 4k screen and 4k turned on in windows! When I set in the game the window mode to window it looks way more crisp - like 4k? That appears in all games like Horizon Zero Dawn but also in Spiderman and Stray for example. It gets even weirder: When I stream my pc to my Xbox with moonlight and sunshine I get 4K... So why is this happening? Thanks for your help!

Hi I was searching for a good and cheep 4k 32 monitor for surfing the web and watching movie and some gaming and i found this monitor it was very good at launch time but its abit old like 7 /8 year's i want to know is it still worth it or im better getting a new 4k monitor like asus tuf VG289Q1A for 260€ i want the best image quality

I'm in the market for a new monitor I already own 2 24 inches monitor and i want another one to use for color accuracy i'm planning on renovating my studio and using the 2 monitor that i have now for timeline and other stuff while the new one for the actual video Size should be 27 inches, better 28 Is mandatory that is color accurate and with 100% sRGB coverage as well as decent DCI P3 coverage. HDR isn't mandatory but good to have 4k is mandatory I've seen a couple of options but none of them actually check all the boxes. Budget is 300 bucks and i live in italy Used is an option if there's really nothing on the market https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/dell/s2722qc#test_1381 https://amzn.eu/d/jeZBoAj https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-tuf-gaming-vg289q-4k-monitor

Hey, I have 3 Samsung Odyssey Neo 4k 240Hz monitors and run all of them in 4k 120Hz mode powerd by my MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X. No problems here. Prior to me getting a 3rd monitor I had 2 of them running at 4k 240Hz. also no problem here. My Question now is: Theoretical there should be a 4k 120Hz headroom still there to run a 4th 4k 120Hz Monitor right? So would it be possible to give the 3 monitors each an extra 40Hz adding up to 160Hz per monitor or maybe 144Hz per monitor or something like this? or would it be possible to run one of the monitors at 240Hz and the other ones at 120Hz? If possible How would I set this up? would I have to do it in Windows? or do I use Gforce Experiance? Or am I completely wrong here? Thanks in advance!

q1. could i use the Niagara Launcher on my NVIDIA shield ? an does the lifetime license cover use on 2 or more devices ? q2. with the install of MLUSB Mounter , ML MediaPlayer , an MLUSB Mounter NTFS Write apk's could i connect a external blu-ray disc drive to play an auto load a4kdb or bd disc vi mx or vlc media player ?

Hey there, Just joined! Wondering what best budget orientated 4k monitor with OLED and 144hz at least is? I know there's none that are cheap. What's a good value one though? Also 27 inch or 32 inch? I use my PC as a living room/ normal PC set up so the 32 inch is tempting. Just wondering what specs I need to get like 80fps at 4k on single player games and 144 hz on multiplayer less GPU intense games. Thanks for any suggestions

Hey guys, Right at the start let me clarify two things: 1. I know that comparisons between all listed parts have been extensively documented and that there are multitude of threads on many many forums (even I made one here a year ago). I get that. However, I do not live in NA region and prices are significantly different for me. I live in Europe (Poland) and the price of 7900 XTX here is roughly 1280 USD. On a side note - 4090 goes for roughly 2500 USD. I hope that gives you, dear reader, perspective as to why I've felt like I need to make yet another thread. 2. This post is not a troll. Those prices are real and I actually want to buy this stuff, but I need help deciding, since prices between listed components are so close I need to choose by going strictly by absolute best performance and not value. Right, with that out the way, let's get to fun part - since 4080 Super is going to launch on 31st of January, I've wanted to ask what should I do. I was already settled on going team red all the way, but now I'm not so sure, because of the price drop on that new 4080. Like I already mentioned - 7900 XTX is 1280 USD here (Nitro+ to be specific) and the regular 4080 is 1500 USD (you read that right, almost as much as 4090 in NA). With the new price drop 4080 Super is expected to be around 1280 USD too and not for a reference design either, I think something like Zotac Extreme Airo should go for that much. Should I wait and see what the new 4080 can do, even if that could be like 5% more FPS? This is basically a vacuum scenario, where price doesn't matter, because it's the same. Only pure performance matters here. Same story with CPUs - both 14900K and 7950X3D are close to 710 USD here. So again - which one would be best in a vacuum where their price is the same? Rest of the components (basically settled, some of this stuff I already have): CPU Cooler: Corsair iCue LINK H170i (top exhaust) [got it] MOBO: Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero OR Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero RAM: Corsair Dominator Titanium 6000 Mhz CL30 OR Corsair Dominator Titanium 7000 Mhz CL34 PSU: Corsair RM1200x Shift [got it] Case: Corsair 7000D Airflow [got it] Cooling: 4x Corsair AF120 Elite (side intake) // 4x Corsair QX120 RGB (front intake) // 1x Corsair AF 120 Elite (rear exhaust) [got them all] Display: LG C2 48" Same as before - those MOBO & RAM pairings cost me the same. If you're curious why such components - I'm a flat out purist douche. I'm willing to pay extra for aesthetics and controlling my RGB from one app. I'm also a big Corsair fanboy and I'm never buying anything from Gigabyte ever again (their customer support proved to be trash on multiple occasions for me). I'm also switching from 3700X & 5700 XT which both IMHO aged like fine wine in 1440p, but struggle with 4K. This rig may be used for productivity later down the line, as of right now however it's mainly for gaming in 4K. Ray-tracing is optional to me to be honest. What I play - I actually have a huge backlog of games I wanted to replay or experience for the first time in 4K. Some of those games are - Borderlands 3, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Battlefield 2042, The Crew Motorfest, Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, Dying Light 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, AC Mirage & Valhalla & Odyssey & Origins, God of War and many many more. To sum up - prices are the same, only performance and technology matters, what do? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm shopping around for a new 4k monitor and a few years back LTT did a video on the ASUS ROG Swift 4K 144Hz PG27UQ, but the price point was 2000 and most graphics cards couldn't utilize it very well. So I'm curious, would you recommend the ASUS ROG Swift 4K 144Hz PG27UQ in 2023 at the 600 price point, with an RX 7700 XT, and considering FSR and/or DLSS? Or would there be a better buy? Trying to upgrade from a LG 27GL850-B.

I am looking to upgrade from a 27in 1440p monitor to a nice 4k one. I really don't know much about the differences in what makes a good or bad monitor yet but I want a monitor with really good coloring and obviously high refresh rate. I saw a thread on Reddit about a debate between 27/28in and 32in for 4k and that threw me even more on my hunt for a monitor. I am pretty much only using it for gaming and play a wide variety of games. What are some good ones I should look at or what should I look for in a monitor that makes it good/better than others? Also curved or flat? I've always had flat and curved seems like it would be strange but I've also been kind of curious about it lately. My specs are I7 10700K, MSI Gaming Z Trio 3080, 32gb RAM, Z490 Aorus Elite AC Mobo.

I made an account here, hopefully you can help me more than reddit did. (Card / PC is able to hit the refresh rates of both on almost every single scenario, so don't worry about that) What do you prefer? -Game Rendered at 4K but later downscaled to a 1080p Screen at 75hz -Game Rendered at 4K but later downscaled to a 1440p Screen at 60hz Basically comes down to the whole "Resolution vs Framerate" debate. 144 hz sadly it is not an option, I do not have a 144 hz screen, these are separate monitors, of which run at the speeds / hz mentioned before.

Budget : under $1500 or ₹ 130000 ( excluding GPU , monitor , SSD and other peripherals ) Country: India Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 4K gaming and streaming, game development unreal engine and unity full stack. games like COD, BF5 , Dota2, Valorant , Cyberpunk etc. Other details : i already have a MSI X Trio 3080ti , crucial 1TB p5 plus m.2 nvme 4.0 SSD. thats why the above budget is chosen. prefer 2 * 32 DDR5 Ram , and also Better power supply so if i upgrade to 4090 or newer GPUs later, i can use it with out any problems. monitors : i want to use one high refresh rate and other at 60hz 32 or 27 inch 4k monitor in duel monitor setup. but it is not included in the budget.

Hi guys, I know there are going to be new releases in 2024 with 32inch OLED monitors. I was thinking of waiting for the but I don't know how much they would cost or an estimate. If it was around 500 - 800. then I would wait but if it was over 800 and near 1500 then I'm out. Does anyone know the price or an estimate to these upcoming OLED monitors? This is the monitor I was planning to buy before I got new of the OLED monitors. Only buying this a its on sale!! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CCG359F7/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1

Budget (including currency): £900 Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 4K Gaming 60Hertz Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Ryzen 3600 16Gb 3600Mhz B550 board Nvidia 2060. Wanting to play 4k gaming but my 2060 is alreding struggling to play game in 1440k even using DLSS (Like Hogwarts Legacy) I am using my TV which is 60 hertz What I am wondering what the better choice is the less powerful 4070Ti which has less Ram but has better upscaling with DLSS3 or the 7900XTX which has nearly double the RAM but the AMD upscaling is nowhere near as good. Also what would he best power supply sizes be best for both cards. I also know rhat the 3600 is going to bottle neck the system is I am going to replace the COU is something around a 5700x or 5800X

Budget (including currency): £1200 Country: United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games like Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout heavily modded, mainly single player games (mostly rpg or open world) and future upcoming game.. Hi guys, I am currently using a 1440p monitor so I could get the 144hz but I have backed out a LOT from fps gaming and mostly play single player games. CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: RTX 4080 Motherboard: MPG X570 GAMING PLUS PSU: Corsair RM750x RAM: 16gb 3600 CHIPSET: AM4 Monitor I'm buying: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B091JJC84Y/?coliid=I7ZG77A2IM6C9&colid=GXI4IRUVER9W&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it I'm going for 31", as this will be the max sized monitor for my room. Small room. I need a new CPU for 4K gaming. Any recommendations? And will I need a PSU upgrade aswell? Yes! I know my GPU is bottlenecked by the 3600. I was saving up money!! after 2 years I finally saved enough for an upgrade!!! Had this rig for years!! Thanks!!

I'm wanting to run four 4k monitors. One monitor at 144+ Hz. Three monitors at 60Hz. This is the screen configuration. I will be doing it from either a 4070-Ti, or a 4080. My questions are: Is this possible? Nvidia say you can run 4 independent 4k displays at 120Hz, and that other display configurations may be possible based on available band-width. I've heard that running multiple monitors at different refresh rates can hurt performance, is this true? Is the impact significant? How can I best achieve this 4 monitor layout to optimize for performance? Thank you

Hey guys. I've got a Samsung UA55AU7700KLXL 4K TV running Tizen 2141.2 as it's OS (More info in the photo attached). I've been using prime video in this TV for a year or so and it's been all fine until a few weeks ago. Whenever I wanna stream 4K HDR movies in prime video, it keeps switching to HD HDR and sometimes just HDR while the movie's playing. I can confirm that neither my internet nor my router is the issue as the TV says the speed is well around 150Mbps (Photo attached of the speedtest). I'd appreciate for someone to help me out with this cuz it's been bugging me a bit too much recently. Thanks in advance :)

Hi I looking to buy a used tv. I went to the seller and did the 4k pixel test and I used video from YouTube "Check Your Screen For Dead/Stuck pixels (up to 4k UHD) PixelFixel" no dead or stuck pixels all the colors looked fine except black one didn't look right. Here is the image.

Hi everyone, today I want to share with you two DIY 4K high-refresh-rate portable monitor. Since I'm not a native English speaker, I can only use Google Translate, so sorry. Ever since I used a 27-inch 4K 144Hz monitor, I have always felt that the 27-inch 4K 60Hz secondary screen is very laggy, but I don’t think it would be a good idea to buy another 27-inch 4K 144Hz monitor. It’s a great deal, and I’ve always wanted a portable monitor. Portable monitors below 4K are not delicate enough, and there are no 4K high-refresh-rate portable monitor on the market, so I spent more than half a year DIYing two 4K 120Hz portable portable monitor. If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer you. A 16-inch large 4K 3840*2400 @ 120Hz one TypeC cable high-resolution portable monitor with a small chin. A 17.3-inch 4K 3840*2160 @ 120 Hz one TypeC cable high-resolution portable monitor with a big chin. Thanks for watching.
