    Question Are there any 1440 tvs still in existence?

    So a decent 4K TV can be set to show full screen 2560x1440 through the nVidia settings? I was assuming a sort of "screen within a screen" effect. If I can make the set work as you suggest, that will be fine by me. I can get a nice 43" 4K set for less that $300 USD. And I'll be a happy camper. Thx!

    Question Are there any 1440 tvs still in existence?

    The Hisense at Walmart claim to be "2K" but when you look at the specs, they say 1080p. So I'm not sure they would work at 1440...

    Question Are there any 1440 tvs still in existence?

    Here's my dilemma - I need a larger screen because of my vision problems. I currently have a 32" 1080p monitor, which does a fair job, but in MSFS2020, sometimes it's hard reading some of the instrumentation. My graphics card is an ASUS GTX1080-ti, which I understand can do 3840x2160 (4K), but...

    Question Are there any 1440 tvs still in existence?

    I'm looking for a 2560x1440p 43" television to use as a monitor. Can't afford a monitor, and can't find one in 1440p anyway. I could buy a 4K, but I'd still have to run it in 1440p because my GTX1080-ti can't handle 4k. I might settle for a 32" 1440p... -= Gary =-

    Question RGB Cooling Fans

    I have an ASUS ROG Strix LC 240 RGB cooler. It has no controller for the fan lighting. The fans have separate plugs for power and RGB lighting. Al lfans are working fine, although without lighting. The pump lighting is handled by the only USB port I had left on my mobo, and it's working fine...

    Question Mouse cursor moves with no input

    All of a sudden (well, actually overnight) my mouse cursor started moving across my screen, right to left, and I can't stop it. I have deleted the mouse (USB) from the Device Driver screen, have physically unplugged it from my machine, and have rebooted several times, yet after the initial...

    Question RGB Cooling Fans

    Not sure if this is the correct forum for this, and the last time I queried this "problem" I think I got too far off-base, so I'll try to make this a bit more simple: I have 2 aRGB cooling fans on my CPU radiator (and for simplicity sake, no brand name) and they are supposed to be hooked to a...

    [SOLVED] Switching CPU within series type

    I currently have an Intel i7-7700/4.2Ghz that is doing a great job as far as I'm concerned. So now MS decides that they will make everyone buy new computers and Mobos just to run their new Win 11. I ran their compatibility checker, and the only thing stopping them (not me) from upgrading my...

    Question Samsung ChromeBook Cleaning

    Not quite what I was looking for. I can reset the Book, but all I want to do is clean up the hidden files that seem to be taking up too much space. There was an app that did that, and I can't find it now.

    Question Samsung ChromeBook Cleaning

    I have a Samsung Chromebook with a meager 16Gb of storage. I am continually getting messages about running out of space and removing un-needed files, etc, from my notebook. I always clear out my browser history, and still find messages that I have files that I can't find. I go to a folder with...

    [SOLVED] USB 3.0 Hubs Reliable?

    Like everyone else, my machine (i7-7700/4.25Ghz w/Win10, ASUS Mobo) doesn't have enough USB ports for what I'm doing, and sorry for the length, but I wanted you to know what I am running on my system through USB: Keyboard Mouse Razer Electra headset (front panel) Steam controller (front panel)...

    [SOLVED] ASUS GTX 1080 ti @ 3840x2160 4K

    Thank you, John! Just what I needed to know, before I wasted money on a brand new 43" monitor ($2K). And I really liked the curved screens, so it looks like I can get a refurbished Samsung gaming monitor for less than $300. You've saved me a bunch of money! And I do need that! -= Gary =-

    [SOLVED] ASUS GTX 1080 ti @ 3840x2160 4K

    I'm running Win 10 on an Intel i7-7700 ASUS Mobo and the ASUS GTX 1080 ti grafix card. At present, I am using a 32" 1920x1080 monitor, which works fine, but want to move up to a 43" 4K monitor. My main use for this gaming-only machine is MSFS2020 and DCS World, both power-hungry sims. And maybe...

    [SOLVED] How to make my RGB fans work ?

    Well, the controller I bought is a 4-pin and the fans are 3-pin. Surprisingly, ASUS has nothing in its documentation that describes the fans as aRGB. The box and the data sheet all say RGB. SO back where I started - anyone steer me to a 3-pin aRGB controller?
