    Hi, I am trying to connect my Dreamcast console to my LG CX television. I’ve connected it to the antenna in at the back of the TV but the TV tries to display digital television instead (even though the aerial is disconnected) which results in a blank screen. On old televisions if you...

    What is the motivation for building a PC exclusively for gaming when one can have gaming consoles for less than half of the price?

    I am not biased towards either. I love both. I understand that unlike a gaming console, a computer is much more. There is so much that you can do on a computer. But there are people who build PC exclusively for gaming. An high end GPU alone would cost 3 times the price of PS5. And it's not just...

    Currently playing God of War and I get FPS Drops/Stutters in certain areas, not a lot. But still noticeable since I mainly game on PC. Also if I download and install the game on HDD than playing from Disc, will it help with stutters? Thanks.

    Should I upgrade my original xbox one to an xbox one x?

    I've had a 4k tv since 2015 and haven't used any 4k videos on it since I got it due to living in a rural area and not having fast enough internet available to stream 4k video. So it was a waste of money. I've also had my advanced warfare xbox one for awhile as well. It works great but it's...

    PS4 not loading past PS logo

    Hey, my cousin's PS4 will not load past the PS logo on startup. He said his PS4 would start to freeze while playing and required "forceful" power off. Every time you'd try to start it, it would check "system storage status", so I figured some files got corrupted that was preventing it. I booted...

    Question My opinion on PC gaming

    I'll keep this relatively short and sweet. A good high end gaming PC will cost you upwards of 900-2000 bucks. I would NOT advise anyone spend that kind of money on a PC unless its to run other programs that can also be very demanding, like 3D animation software or video editors. The only other...
