I feel like displays are just getting silly, like our latest work laptop has a 15" 4k screen. What's the point of that? a 32" running 8k is probably about the same, and I'm guessing you'll need an absolute beast of a machine to run that at a decent frame rate.

I really hope video will go to 1080p60 instead of 4k30 but I'm doubting it.

everyone was saying 4K displays are pointless 5 years ago...fast foward to today and it's reasonably priced. A TV or monitor is $500-600? Your $10/mo Netflix subscription supports it.

no i dont think anyone is realistically planning on gaming at 8K anytime soon

for professionals pixel-matching high-res photos or studios rendering 4K/8K videos, this is going to be ordered in bulk.

4K at 5.5" and 12.5" next to QHD it is a noticeable difference for me

From what I here 4K netfix looks like a Blu-ray disc. You cannot watch 4k Netfix unless you are running a new Intel Kaby lake CPU. Something to do with DRM. Also HDR is a mess. There are 4 different HDR standards right now and not all HDR capable TV's support all 4 standards.

Mated my 2x EVGA 1080 GTX FTW cards to a couple EK Acetal + Nickel GPU blocks and EK backplates with an EK FC Terminal Dual Serial block.
Re-routed some lines and replaced some faulty fittings that were leaking as well. For coolant I used Mayhems pastel white.

netflix looking blu-ray quality is already pretty good

HDR10 and Dolby Vision are the big ones...the others afaik are pseudo

that triple screen razer laptop was stolen from CES

they're claiming it's likely espionage...i dont think it's that difficult to create in-house so could just be a publicity stunt

edit nm: looks legit...they're offering $25k in reward for any information

Anyone in the market for a 27" monitor?

Selling a BenQ EW2750ZL because it's not VESA-compatible and I need a smaller wall-mountable monitor since I'm downgrading table size.

Max Keyboard Keycap, Cherry MX Switch, O-Ring Pro Sampler Tester Kit

Anyone want a free Cherry MX switch sampler?

Basically lets you test eight different kinds of Cherry MX switches (to find the one you like).

Max Keyboard sent it to me by accident when I bought some key caps from them. Used it for a week as a stress reliever and it's been in my drawer since.

EDIT: Also have a 200mm fan by Phanteks for free. Haven't tested it since it was a stock fan for a case I bought a year back. http://www.phanteks.com/PH-F200SP.html - the white colour.

I am using an EVGA Supernova B2 750W, the ball bearing fan in the psu has been screeching, worn out. I applied some WD40 and it fixed the screech for two weeks and it's come back, I tried WD40 again and still screeching. I applied some lithium grease, screeching gone, but feels like there's some friction and making some slight humming sound.

I went to get a new fan and wanted to replace the whole damn POS PSU stock fan and when I was about to plug it in, it's a 3 pin for aftermarket fans and the PSU can only take 2 pins. Any way I can get around this?

Just plug the fan in if it fits. It will work.

You can also get an adapter: 3-pin to 2-pin Black Power Adapter Converter Cable for Motherboard B2P YA-B2P

I didn't want to send it in and be out my PSU for several weeks since my desktop at home, I need to use it to do work.

Plus I voided the warranty when I took apart the PSU haha

I just do price comparison among all three.
