Hey Guys, I'm still looking for some good advice on this one ? @KingLoki The only option that I can see, that might help is this one below... but I just don't understand how it would help, or what exactly it does? Is this for a PC or a laptop, cause I have a PC ? Does it create a...

Hello I have a fancy PC monitor which can easily rotate 90 degrees, and I’d like to start using it. I had read that you can use Windows Shortcuts to easily switch back and forth, but these simply do not work. Someone seemed to think it had something to do with the GPU you own? I have a...

Hello, MSI Afterburner keeps popping up randomly in the system tray, stealing focus (literally stopping me from whatever I’m doing at the time), and it often does it 2-3 times within 5-20 seconds ? And that may happen again and again throughout the day sometimes. It’s really annoying, and I’m...

Do you just mean, manually copy stuff over, or do you mean using some Windows wizard/process to do that from the old Windows drive to the new different drive? BTW, does it make any difference if I tell you that I will get a new Win 11 Retail Key (so the Windows installation should not be tied...

Hello This is regarding two sometimes separate, and sometimes combined topics… Formatting drives in general, and using Macrium to do stuff. When I format either: - a new System drive, or - a new Storage/General Use drive, or - a new external drive Do I need to choose a specific type of...

Hello Please read this whole original post before replying, ok. My Dad has an older PC, and the System Drive is dead. I will be replacing it in a few months, but clearly he needs a new Windows installation until then. I have just bought a new 500GB Samsung 2.5" 870 EVO SATA 6Gb/s SSD PN...

Hello Please read the entire thread before replying... I'm wondering - what is the best free PDF Editing Software, suitable for Win 10/11? I'm also interested in paid versions too, but the focus should be on free software. Note that I'm not so keen on purely Online/Web methods - as they are...

any update?

can you sideload the apps you want. I've heard you can plug in a chromecast or something like that and somehow fun google play store temporarily and use that to install stuff? Sounds hit and miss... Pretty sure they mention that and other options here...

I know on my bravia there are quite a lot of sound settings for eArc/sound system settings etc... buried away to be discovered.

Avoid LG and Hisense as they are not Android TVs... no Google Play Store... big headache. Plus, last fairly expensive Hisense I got, the lamps screwed up super fast, you could see where they were, super bright lines on the tv, columns really. Not impressed. Never again. Are you game to try...

Hi @Ralston18 , thanks for the reply... yeah, I can't find a good way around it either. BTW, cabling isn't really the issue here... I certainly don't want to make all my sound mono for everything via cabling etc. And definitely want to avoid the external mixing... just too much hassle. But...

Also keep in mind that a video file can look like the same format, eg mkv... but have very different parameters... eg 264 files might work but not 265. Play a whole bunch and see which ones work and which don't, then use something like: https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo You install that on...

See my reply to this thread... https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/budget-microphone-recommendations.3828930/post-23171479 Also, Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 3 was damn close 2nd best to the Bose (might have been better for music but probably not as good for ANC as the Bose)... and the...

In general I would stick to Bravia's. Make sure you check how big the internal storage is. I bought a bravia (not the most super expensive one) and I was furious to find it only has 4gb. It is constantly slow, stuffs up etc, needs rebooting. I had no idea it would be soo lame on such an...
