Did the math and a 49" would be equivalent to about four 24" monitors arranged in a 2x2 1080p grid.
Was thinking of just getting two 24" and calling it a day, but I think they'd be too small now that I'm used to a larger monitor. Then I priced out two 27" when I realized that a TV might work better since the pricing would be quite similar and it would be more flexible overall.
Ideally, a 42-43" would be better for my needs, but there is nothing of that size with HDMI 2.1. It seems like manufacturers like to reserve the smaller sized screens for budget models.
I think the number one issue that I'll probably run into is needing to tilt my head up to see the top part of the screen. I think a height adjustable VESA mount might mitigate this?

LG’s CX48 is supposed to be a really good computer monitor as long as you take appropriate safety precautions for it being an OLED to prevent burn-in.

OLED burn-in would probably be a real problem for me since I have static elements on my desktop all the time. That and I don't wanna spend $2000+ on a monitor.
I do have one coming on the way for use with my consoles though.

Note that if you do go with the i7-10700K, you have an upgrade path to Rocket Lake on LGA1200 while AM4 is most likely retired after Ryzen 5000.

Any recommendations for a laptop around $750? Before or after taxes
It’s for my brother and he does some casual gaming so a “better” integrated graphics system or even an independent card if possible
Just want to scrape out the most performance for the money

On another note, and before I hot fbook market anyone here have any cheap gpu they want to get rid of that's gathering dust?
Built the kid's Minecraft/roblox setup already using 6th gen i5 and rx 570 (good enough for their stuff) , but now they're fighting for comp time. (thanks for the advice in here tho)
Got a hand me down comp from aunt with an i5-7400 I'm gonna just add some ram and the gpu to upgrade the integrated graphics.
Oh shet just realized I'll prolly need a PSU as well dammit lol.
Thanks for any help guys!

BSOD on an AIO desktop code WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR just browsing/watching videos

My 10 years old XPC had BSOD while watching movies. And it happened more and more often. I couldn't figure out what went wrong.
I did update BIOS still no luck, installed fresh windows still no luck.
So, i ran memtest.....boooom, memory stick got lots errors in it.
Replaced ram, i have not seen BSOD since.
But thats just my case, yours might be different hardware issue.
Its PITA to find issues, you will have to cross test those components.

well the bios hardware diagnostic did have a memtest but perhaps not detailed enough
i guess dropping the ram right into my next system solves nothing if it really was one of the ram sticks going
