Doobeedoo - Linus Tech Tips (original) (raw)

  1. Right ok, it's unconventional setup most don't go. Reasons why there are no many large monitors in general, people sit on desk with them in arms range. Yeah that's a very small desk so need wall mounts. Would still feel large to me in general even when watching a movie or whatever. Though I want both decently large and competitive setup in one so. That chair doesn't look it can tuck under the chair close enough though, hopefully hands don't hang in air. But also kinda looks like you could get similar feel with smaller monitor that is closer and appears as large as those further away. But would maybe need a new chair or desk if needed so desk can be close enough to you, seems far to me I'm slim so. Mainly also as there are way more options with way better specs too. There are fairly large UW lately announced. Like 45" that is effectively like 36" 16:9 height wise, just wider. The UW are not narrowing vertical view, they're expanding horizontal view or FoV though, you do see more than regular wide. There's no "full screen display" really, you can view 16:9 on 21:9 fine but vice-versa sucks. Most literally like it for immersion primarily. I don't like it due to not being competitive oriented, most not being 4K or odd size, not liking curve and all. There are no super sized UW as TVs are oddly not UW even though most content shown is. I like the cat.
  2. Depends what do you expect to run and what performance. Nothing like that is needed. Clean OS install, updated along drivers and all, debloat some stuff or options and settings, not run useless crap all good.
  3. Those are more TV sized displays most don't want on desk where you sit in front of it. Becomes way too huge to look around, pixel density is not great and in general as you see not many good options. I have fairly deep desk and for my 32" it's perfect really. Having something much larger would be insane to me, not sure how you keep it as far, my monitor is like arms distance. But eve putting such size a lot far away makes it feel like smaller display anyway. Not sure what you mean UW killing fullscreen market and they don't steal vertical view but opposite they extend horizontal though. Anyway there are some options for larger formats but limited specs to LCD if you want.
  4. You could get 4K dual-mode like I did, as I wanted both 4K and 480Hz option. Yes 1440p on 4K display is not 1:1 pixel ratio reason it will not look as good. But for competitive games can be fine. I switch to 1080p 480Hz for specific games and it's fine.
  5. Look at office chairs, be it Herman Miller or Steelcase yes they are expenaive but great. Those are at least high quality ones I can think of. Now I doubt any have leg rest that pops out, same for removable arm rests, maybe some may have option. I also play guitar and had same question but I may pick that drummer style chair heh. Also you may also search used ones of these locally, I've heard people tend to find them fairly new for quite a bit cheaper when some companies are getting rid of them.
  6. There's OneDrive and Dropbox too.
  7. Does SSD have enough free space, could be swapping files while updating. That HDD doesn't seem well taking so long regardless. Can try unplugging it and see how it goes. Dying drive can cause slowdown issues across the board.
  8. I wondered this long ago, but it's complicated like others mentioned. So many old software that depend on it, people depending on it, some never being updated but are being used and are needed. Yes slow or never moving and upgrading systems for decades is one of the problems. But even then, still need a fallback support, be it through emulation. Though that not an option for most, so i guess until modern hardware can fully emulate old stuff without any issues or have some co-chip on the side for this hardly it can fully go away. I haven't really seen many x64 Windows XP and there were issues, but once Vista released, I installed x64 bit and from then I stuck to x64 ver of Windows though. I remember also some games offering x64 exe already. This is so long ago tech wise especially. But yeah after some time I found it odd devs keep making 32 bit software for no apparent reason, regardless if x64 was needed for memory or whatever. Becase over time every modern machine and OS was x64 anyway.
  9. Yeah those are improvements over most horrible lag stuff, fine for music and some general use. Though watching fast content or playing fast games you for sure don't want any de-sync as it just feels bad.
  10. There are many options, check Boardzy on YT for quick mouse conparison videos, he has those in longer vids with timestamps.
  11. Hmm I have Vaxee mouse, may pick that one eventually as it looked neat. But not sure, I know you can customize buttons for other functions. How would that work though, like a macro? Also what purpose, like MMO mouse?
  12. Yeah I know, really can try standard and faster but that's about it. Can't achieve nowhere near actual 1ms.
  13. I have one with and one without heatsink, both are good. Very early batch on release had some firmware issues, that was fixes long ago.
  14. Nah, also PC in general is soing great. Games increased in price lately, but it's true they never were affected with inflation. Don't think many realize that that comment they won't pay more. Yet on the other hand people not only buy but buy pre order editions that cost double. So there's that. Increased dev cost, too large teams, potentially unnecessary. Devs releasing slip is whole another thing. It's true that big game devs release unfinished and cut games, but people enough of them still buy. People buy $1500 flagship phones regularly. People feed all this and there is demand, not cashing that is stupid. Enough people have good income to spend. USA being the biggest consumer country by a large margin. Tech improved, we have good affordable phones, PC components but devs suck optimizing games with top tier tools, so yeah.
  15. The 1ms is not possible for LCD even, strobed fair better but still, it would be an OLED thing.
