I'm looking for a monitor, I have already 2 1080p monitors, not sure if I want to replace one of keep both to have 3.
I have a RX6800XT, I'm not sure it would be good idea to get a 4K screen. I don't really care about refreshment rates 100Hz would be enough for my use cases, being some office work, a bit of gaming. My laptop has an OLED screen, I really like it but being a europoor NEET I sadly can't buy a thousand eurodollars OLED display, so if you have recommandation for the above, but with the best possible contrast short of OLED, I'm all ears. The budget is about 400€.

Nah, I don't play AAA in general, JPRGs or Tacticals, some emulation and that's about it. That's why I'm honestly considering getting the type of office monitor for art people with nice colors and all.
This is above my price range (about 560€) but I could get that next month :

It' goes for about 500€, at that point going the the ROG OLED monitor doesn't seem that bad.

kek. classic. my work laptop and desktop both have issues with tripple monitors (both at 1080p and 1440p) (disconnecting and not waking up mostly). the notebook has a 3060 and the desktop has a 4060. my old notebook had a t500 and my old desktop had a 1650. i had zero issues before with tripple monitors. my brother has a 3060 12gb in his desktop pc with only two monitors and he has zero issues. when i had my 4070 i also had zero issues but that was with also only two monitors. i am now running a 9070xt. also no issues. one of my coworkers also has a new notebook with a 3060 and he also has issues with tripple monitors since he switched. didn't have any before. sounds like it is a new issue.

https://youtu.be/XK6wHFZsaAI?t=667

>>108328414
>sounds like it is a new issue.
I kinda feel like it's a windows issue. but yeah I had no issues with 2 1440p monitors on this computer

>>108328421
i can't say the same really. i switched back to my old notebook because i wanted to know and updated everything. drivers, windows (ran windows 11 since it came out) and anything that lenovo wanted. used it for a few days and i had zero issues. problem is that it is now quiet old and the usb ports don't work and the battery is giving up as well.

>>108328413
>tailos on 2nd computer
You can install tails? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of it?

You make it sound like it's a bad thing.

hey my PC is in a giant case and I want to put it in a smaller one that will fit on my desk horizontally. I was thinking about getting a HTPC case but they're kinda expensive. Would building in a server case be a viable alternative? Ideally one with lots of 3.5 drive bays because my current case only has 2.

>>108328716
the desk provides space for things to put on it, things you interact with
you cant interact with a box, its just a waste of space

functional people even go and buy monitor arms to get more desk space instead of redundant monitor stand

>>108328726
you're approaching this from an absolute utility perspective. have you considered the notion that there are a lot of people out there who don't?

>>108328713
I know what you're saying but I can't just put my current desktop sideways because my discs would fall out of the drive tray if I tried to put them in. Right now I have my desktop in my desk's bottom cabinet. Also like I said I want a case with lots of HDD slots so I can rip movies to them.

What the fuck are you all doing lmao. You've completely missed the bus on buying parts, just give up. Why you didn't do it last year is beyond me lol. Do something better with your time

Would it make sense to replace the stock fans on my thermalright phantom spirit? The stock fans have no rubber corner pads and Arctic P12 pro fans are cheap as shit and have those built in and seem to be better overall. There's some resonance and I already have vibration dampeners on all my case fans so that might be causing it

>>108329059
it should be fine. i bought the assassin x last month and i found the fan to be a bit disappointing so what you're really paying for is the tower cooler

>>108329077
Turns out it does have those anti vibration things in the corners after all and some guy on youtube made a test with arctic p12's and noctuas fancy 120mm fans and they performed worse than the stock fans. Maybe thermalright achieved the results they did because they made the fans to fit that cooler. Maybe your issue is different since you have a single tower cooler

>>108329143
that is surprising. there is really nothing special about this fan but then again my model is at the lower end for a 65W cpu

>>108329348
im honestly confused how companies like noctua continue to exist when they cant make cost competitive products for like a 5 years now

>>108329357
Plastic fans aren't very expensive to make and they have sufficient niche appeal to justify it.
It probably costs Noctua a dollar or two to make a fan and a single fab cycle probably lasts them most of the year.

1440p looks so good why did you tell me it was a meme resolution

>>108329429
Depends on your screen size. For anything up to 27" 1440p is perfectly fine

>>108329429
I've only ever seen people say 1440p is odd on 4chan
like the voices in their heads told them that, and no they dont have images illustrating a problem thats in their heads

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

>>108329429
It's the best for high refresh rates
If you want 4k, just use DLDSR on your 1440p screen

1440p only got better/more relevant with the ultra high hz screens, nvidia multi frame gen, pulsar
but at the same time the 5070 power levels and dlss transformer model also mean 4k is perfectly viable since you run games at 1080p base res, at the same time we have 4k qd oled displays so theres little compromise going on with that route

>>108329508
a basic 27 inch 1440p 144+++ Hz IPS is the sweet spot because it costs $150-250 and looks "good enough"
if I got a 4K monitor I'd be concerned with how long my RTX 5070 can stay relevant, as even today in demanding games I need to use DLSS Balanced + 2x FG to hit 120+ FPS

>>108329429
4k looks way better and it isn't as easy to push for high refresh gaming like 1080p. its just an awkward middle child jack of all trades master of none

I've found that going from IPS to OLED was infinitely more stunning than going form 1440p to 4k
I'm on 5k2k now anyway

I'd get an OLED as a treat but I don't want to baby my monitor by hiding the task bar, disabling desktop icons, not using the browser fullscreen so the menus don't burn in, etc.

idk what youd find uncomfy, all the stuff is in front of you on the 2nd monitor.
maybe you use it for work in a particular way but for gaming having 2 monitors where your game is on oled + all the chrome stuff on 2nd is the comfiest way to do things

good monitor for a really bright room? i have to giant south facing windows in my bedroom, and can't see shit on my screen during the day currently

>>108329943
nta but it really depends. on things which won't go down in value over the repayment period then instalment plans make sense. RAM (mentioned last thread) on klarna/afterpay/paypal in 4 guarantees you the item and ensures that once the repayment period is ended, you have the item at pretty much full price if you decide to sell it right away
during normal times, i would also advise against video cards since we were supposed to get new ones every year....but remember that they're going to drastically cut down on card production and release less models, RAM is going to be completely frozen and the industry is trying to transition away from pc ownership into a cloud model
it might not be too crazy to do it right now honestly. the cards we buy today are probably going to be topspec until 2030 where the only progression is software-side and AI redrawing in DLSS/FSR
