Gaming Rigs / PC Specs

what do you mean, some new monitors? Get a reasonably big one.

One for the PC and another for the Xbox. Been looking at an LG 34GN850-B and a Dell S2721DGFA.

In my new computer set up which is finally taking shape, the new monitor is a 27" 1440p that barely fits on the desk (I had to do some desk surgery to get it to fit, cut off some bits) and a 32" TV mounted on the wall above the desk to be used as a second monitor for chat windows, stuff like that, which is also hooked up to cable for when I want a TV show on for some reason while working at the computer.

The TV is the one that was in the bedroom, where the smaller TV from the living room will go when I finally replace that with a .... um .... larger model, LOL. I'm thinking 65" at least, but the choices are so overwhelming and I really don't know what's better, OLED, LCD, etc and that takes a lot of research that I find boring. Trusting the blue shirt at Best Buy isn't something I'd like to do either.

while OLED looks really cool IF you get proper images for it (recorded in 4k, let's not even begin with 8k) there's still the problem that for now it lasts significantly less long and is significantly more expensive. Also, you can't get bigger OLEDs than 65" (maybe something weird like 68") while LCDs are easily available as 75" and 80" (and bigger) So you're still better off with LCD. I got a decent 75" LCD TV and a 32" monitor for my main PC. And a 27" monitor for my 2nd PC. That's perhaps a bit tight on my desk with two rather big monitors but it works

Never trust a guy wearing a blue shirt and name tag 

I currently have a 55 inch television mounted above the fireplace which is old enough not to update any longer. In looking at an upgrade, I'm seeing units that are 30 inches larger yet weigh less. Technology certainly advances at a rapid pace.

Yeah it's something considering the last tube TV I bought just before flat screens became a viable option cost over $500 and weighed half a ton. It was I think 27 or 30" and was enormous. The 32" flat screen I have above the desk cost something like $200 or $250 and I could carry with one hand. Not to mention lift it above my head to attach to the wall mount.

Indeed - we all had one of those

Gonna grab a kit, once available    CL14, 3600 MHz and a bling bling design





The case I am looking into buying. Yes, it will be quite the disco show





With these installed

Looks like the manufacturers are increasingly looking to improve the appearance of PC builds. I've never seen anything like that case (my last build was many years ago), and I definitely never dreamed memory would like what is in the link.

How do you know that they do like it?

[PZ]

lol, I forgot to add the word "look" in front of the word "like" 

[Art Blade]

I know.. yet still, I couldn't resist.

I probably need more than just glasses 

[Art Blade]

what do you mean, bottles?

[PZ]

 

Yes... perhaps a Laphroaig

[Art Blade]

well.. a good Scotch will likely blur your vision even more
