Laptop model: ASUS G14 (2024) I recently started watching a lot of HDR media (YouTube & Hulu/Disney+) on my laptop and the difference between that and SDR is night and day (especially the contrast since I have an OLED panel) but the only issue is that I have to manually turn on HDR in Settings...

thanks for the rec, it's cheaper than the WD one so ima get the Lexar one u recommended 👍

I've just bought a new laptop (2024 G14) and am planning to upgrade the internal SSD from 1TB to 4TB. Since I'm upgrading a SSD in a laptop, would power consumption/efficiency be a concern when looking for a SSD? And if so, are there any good low power Gen 4 (M.2) SSDs? I was looking at...

If l'm recording in HDR PQ 10-bit and exporting SDR/ Rec 709 (and using the Canon CLog2 to Rec709 LUT, using a Canon R50), would the final image in SDR look "better" as opposed to just non-HDR 8-bit SDR? Or would it be better to just shoot 8-bit SDR?

Does the CalDigit TS3 Plus Dock work with non-Thunderbolt devices? I'm using a Razer Blade 14 (2021, 5900HX) that doesn't have USB4 nor Thunderbolt of any support. It does however support USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) w/DisplayPort 1.4 Alt-Mode & 100W Power Delivery. So in theory, I could be able to...

I'm using the Anker Dock linked in the original post but I think it does just transfer DP into HDMI. Thanks for your help!

Oh, is there a way for the dongle to pass through DP (like without converting it to HDMI)? I'm using G-SYNC and G-SYNC isn't compatible with HDMI (as far as I'm aware) or will that not be a issue? So from what I'm gathering from all of this is that I shouldn't run into a speed bottleneck...

Ah, I see. In that case, would plugging the external drive into another USB-C port on my laptop solve the bandwidth issue (if I run into it)? Or is that 10Gbps link shared across all ports? Here's my laptop's USB specifications (Blade 14 2021): View: https://imgur.com/a/x7SlOPQ And if DP is...

I was looking into USB-C docks and was getting confused on their limitations (or more so my laptop's limitations). This Anker USB-C one...

I'm using HDMI right now, but am switching over to a USC-C to DP cable when it arrives.

I recently got a new gaming monitor (ASUS VG27AQ1A) but am having issues with game scaling. The thing is, I originally didn't have this issue at first; then, out of nowhere, it just started happening. My games' HUD all look zoomed in (Valorant, Cyberpunk, etc.) and it gets super annoying. I...

I recently got a new monitor (ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ1A) and it's listed as G-SYNC compatible however I can't find the option to enable it anywhere. I'm using a Blade 14 (RTX 3060 Laptop GPU) and I've tried messing around in Settings & NVIDIA Control Panel, but I can't find the option to turn on...

I have an old laptop that I have no use for anymore and want to turn it into a mini-DIY desktop but I was curious as to how I could upgrade the cooling solution. I also want to upgrade the CPU from an i7-2760QM to an i7-2960XM (45W to 55W). Are there any particular parts (laptop-tailored that...

Ok this sounds really dumb but another thought just occurred to me and I'm not exactly sure if this is the reason or not. I recently just bought an Apple Watch (like I think I got it the day 22H2 got installed) and I read about how some laptops use magnets to determine when the lid gets shut and...

The laptop came with Windows 10 and I've been using it for a year. And Windows 22H2 actually released a week ago so it's pretty recent. I did not do a clean install but I did clear out most of the bloatware that came pre-installed. And the problem is that my internal drive is 2TB and File...
