PPI on that samsung is really now so I doubt clarity would be that good. | The iMac display is 10 bpp (bits per pixel) while that LG is 8 bpp + FRC (frame rate control). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate_control Quote:
Frame rate control (FRC) is a method for achieving higher color quality in low color resolution display panels such as TN+film LCD.
Most TN panels represent colors using only 6 bits per RGB color, or 18 bit in total, and are unable to display the 16.7 million color shades (24-bit truecolor) that are available from graphics cards. Instead, they use a dithering method that combines adjacent pixels to simulate the desired shade.
FRC is a form of temporal dithering which cycles between different color shades with each new frame to simulate an intermediate shade. This can create a potentially noticeable 30 Hz flicker. FRC tends to be most noticeable in darker tones, while dithering appears to make the individual pixels of the LCD visible.[1]
This method is similar in principle to field-sequential color system by CBS and other sequential color methods such as used in Digital Light Processing (DLP).
8 bit TN+film panels with dithering are sometimes advertised as having "16.2 million colors".
Some panels now render HDR10 content with an 8-bit panel using frame rate control.
| FRC is going to compromise image quality to some extent.
LG makes the display for Apple on the iMac and Apple offers an LG-branded monitor with essentially the same hardware in an external monitor, though beware that it requires Thunderbolt and there are lots of complaints about connectivity in the reviews even for Macs that have Thunderbolt. https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/produc...splay?fnode=4c | |

Bought an ASUS ROG Strix Vega 64 off someone online for $525.
I set it to Power Saver mode because I read that it outputs less heat and noise with minimal performance hit. I was surprised when I ran Fire Strike because it still had a score of 23,000, a bit higher than I expected and right in the GTX 1080 territory. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/30120808?
Did a bit more benching with Unigine Valley. Looped it for 45 minutes and the clocks stayed steady at 1500/945 with the max temperature being 70 degrees. Fans were pretty quiet the whole time.
I normally opt for NVIDIA cards if possible due to the better power efficiency and heat output compared to AMD, but I'm very pleased with this one.

at best you get a $10-20 coupon
at worst they ship you the wrong item, and you gotta print out a label & drop it off (or go to the store and line-up and waste more time)

Just do it yourself using a Rockit 88 or a knockoff one. http://a.co/d/1rLBYK3
Questionable, but you could buy that on Amazon and return it after. https://rockitcool.myshopify.com/pages/relidding

Currently eyeing two laptops for black friday and wanted feedback:
Acer Aspire 3 - Ryzen 2500u - 8 GB RAM - 1TB HDD - $499.99
Dell Inspiron 15 3000 - i5 7200U - 8 GB RAM - 1TB HDD - $529.99
Main use is for school, perhaps some light gaming CS/Lol. Leaning on Acer currently since the integrated GPU is way better on the ryzen than intel, but any personal experiences with either brands would be nice. Still waiting for tigerdirect and memoryexpress since they don't have any flyer previews.
