    fax. it’s just the ole gamer with no other hobbies compensation. they don’t wanna admit how much hardware makes a difference. playing on an hp laptop is a lot more difficult than your elaborate pc setup. and some people actually have hobbies worth a damn

Ya’ll should do another one of these for 2021 considering how far tech has become. That pro setup could be SICK (Wireless everything 1ms) + the cheap products that are out now aren’t that bad 🙂

While I do agree that a cheaper monitor can be pretty good, I cant stand the fogginess of the picture. when you switch between 4K and not 4K you can really see the difference in clarity.

    @Luca Dogana This is definitely not something they tell you when you buy a monitor lol Thanks for the insight!
    Edit: I have the Samsung U28E510 ultra 4K and I have never been happier with my monitor personally.

    Reply
    Luca Dogana

    @tim141600 a good monitor Is a good monitor 😀 and if u are Happy with yours It s perfect😁. More hz doesnt mean Better monitor. Maybe for a photographer Is Better a good color resolution (usually OLED and ips Panels have Better colors than VA or TN ones, but the last two has usually less latency in milliseconds than the firsts) HDR and more Nits for brightness. Doesnt exists “the best” all around monitor, but exists the best monitor for your needs

    Watching native 4K content on a native 4K monitor will be the clearest picture available. If you scale 1080p up on a 4K monitor, it will not look as crisp due to not being a native resolution. This is normal. Upscaling usually doesn’t give a good result, unless we’re talking about Nvidia’s DLSS or AMD’s Fidelity. They produce a really good picture for not being a native resolution. But full native resolution on both source and monitor will always give the best result.

    Honestly between FHD and 4K it feels Like 12:00 and 12:15. 😂 For me its a waste of Money to Invest in any 4K Gear.

I have that Rii keyboard lying around because it was the only one in my desired key layout I could get shipped. tbh, the keys worked, but not very well, it’s pretty crap lol
The cheapo mouse though? I had a different redragon at work for a while and I really liked it. my fav mouse layout is the one on those world of warcraft mice you can’t buy anymore and that thing came really close. it only lasted a couple of months and has not been available since lol
