    Dell Ultrasharp U4025QW 40" 21:9 Ultrawide 5120x2160 IPS @ 120 Hz

    I could see running this plus a very fast oled for fps games.

    I don't like to pay more than maybe a dollar for range targets

    I'm not here to support my aesthetic preferences with reasons that satisfy you.

    I'm not the only one who is instantly turned off by 3rd person so however successful they are, they could have been successfuller.

    If that's true, it's a massive marketing failure.

    HELLDIVERS II

    Regardless, my own head is blocking my line of sight. It's a bad aesthetic, it turns me off and I won't support games that only run in 3rd person. This also applies to platform games and most console games. I don't feel connected to my character when I'm observing them from the outside. I...

    HELLDIVERS II

    I don't like it when I can't see through the back of my own head to line up a shot. Am I the player character or an ethereal puppet master pulling the strings?

    3rd person just kills any interest on my side.

    Recommend me a great-sounding 2.1 speaker system for PC?

    These go for $999 which is a good price for what they bring - a full streamer, ARC, Chromecast, sub out (with proper bass managment) and some cool stand options. https://www.wired.com/review/review-kef-lsx-ii-lt-wireless-active-speaker-system/...

    Why are IPS monitors popular? The IPS glow ruins a third of the screen along with any color advantage it may have.

    I bought a Dell 34" gaming monitor years ago and it had horrible BLB over 35% of the panel - I got it for a killer deal (employee purchase plus sale) and they sent me a replacement with even worse BLB and wouldn't do any more exchanges - they said I had to return it and buy a new one (and lose...

    Optimum speaker setup for PC gaming?

    I went through all the guides when I was setting mine up - I think mine is basically the Dolby 7.1 setup but on a PC, you're closer to the front speakers vs most HT setups. (I didn't angle my rear speakers because they were wall mounted but it was fine) I'm not sure that 8 channel PCM surround...

    Optimum speaker setup for PC gaming?

    That seems strange - this is roughly how I setup 7.1 in my 10'x10' office: Part of the reason I stopped was just the insane amount of cabling that was taking over the room. 4 monitors, 3 of which were connected to work PC and home PC (11 cables) plus 4 pairs of RCA from the sound card to the...

    Optimum speaker setup for PC gaming?

    Surround sound is nice, but I've been playing Apex Legends for the last 5 years (come February) It doesn't support surround sound, but I get great audio that is very positional from stereo headphones and I always hear things before my squad does. I took down my 7.1 system a few years ago and I...
