    Question I need to be enlightened about DCI-P3 in relation to my monitor ?

    I recently purchased a Lenovo Legion y27q30 monitor. It offers 126% sRGB color area ratio and 95% DCI-P3 color gamut. I'm not much of a techie so I don't know what this means, but all I know is that sRGB is somewhat antiquated according to a couple of articles I've read. Future proofing lies...

    Question Possibility of adding a 2nd modem/router for single hardwire connection

    I have a combo cable modem/router set up in my family room. I have a desktop in my home office. I would like to hardwire the desktop to the internet, but it would not be possible to run an Ethernet cable from the current modem/router to my office desktop. There is an Xfinity cable running to my...

    Question External ventilation (or lack of)

    Thanks Lafong. I was reading about HWInfo earlier...I'll look into it some more. I was hoping this new Lenovo Legion would have temp monitoring built into its Vantage program.

    Question External ventilation (or lack of)

    I put my desktop in an armoire that has a cubby created specifically for desktops. The back of the tower is about 4 to 5 " from the back of the armoire and there is less than an inch on each side of the tower. There's about 6" of space above the computer. So it's surrounded on all sides but the...

    Question Sure could use help selecting monitor

    Thanks akkour...my son happened to have a 27" he wasn't using at the moment and let me try it to see how it works out in my situation. You were right, 32" would probably be a bit too much. 27 is good

    Question Sure could use help selecting monitor

    Just one more question. If my eyes are approximately 37" from the screen, would a 32" screen be too overwhelming for my eyes, etc? Having second thoughts about a 27"

    Question Sure could use help selecting monitor

    Yes...the plan is to get back into IL2 Sturmovik and try Microsoft Flight Simulator and Hell Let Loose. I just got the Lenovo Legion 7i tower with a 3070ti video card and a 12th gen i7 cpu

    Question Sure could use help selecting monitor

    I haven't purchased a monitor in 16 or 17 years and didn't really know much about them back then. I've nailed it down (I think) between the Asus Tuf VG27AQ1A and the Asus ROG Strix XG27AQ. Is it worth paying the extra for the latter XG and if so what makes it worth it? Then there's the LG 27"...

    Question 980 pro and 990 pro, does it matter which drive does what?

    I was going to add the same SSD. Are you saying I wouldn't see much difference between the 980 and 990 if used a as a gaming drive? Should I just go for the cheaper 980? Ireyes66...you got a good deal on that. Slickdeals shows the discount but when I follow the link to Samsung it's gone. 179 again.

    Card for E5300 Wolfdale

    [/quotemsg]The OP requested Nvidia GPU's. And the upgrade probably wont occur until other components are looked at first maybe. [/quotemsg] There will be no other upgrades. I put in a brand new WD HDD, added 2 gigs of RAM, and installed Windows 7 64 bit. I was contemplating upgrading the...
