Time for new photos. Changed monitors, mouse pad and build a new computer too.

If there too much visible noise, it's because compressing. Did it in hurry and might have used bit too much.

What monitor is that?

Thanks, I really want to pick one of these up.. They look sweet. How's the quality?

For the picture quality, well, it's TN panel, what can I say. It's good for a TN panel, but it still is a TN panel. Bad viewing angles, limited colors without dynamic correction, no good blacks etc. If you are getting the monitor, make sure that you can sit exactly front of the monitor, because there is no adjustable stand to correct the angle.

The backlight is pretty good. It doesn't have noticeable leak, but ofcourse when the screen is black, it isn't showing up as solid black. But that's the issue in almost every monitor.

The build quality is good. The plastic plate at the backside feels kinda solid, like that it isn't going to break or anything. Same goes to the feet/stand that is attached to the back. The monitor's not heavy either, so there isn't even that much weight on the stand anyway.

On the other hand, the black frame at the top front feels bit placticy and hollow. If you put pressure to the frame/edge it will make the placticy sound from hell. The front bottom where the buttons are on other hand isn't as bad. The bottom is thougher and doesn't make any plasticy sound when using the touch buttons. The touch buttons at the front feel good, atleast to me. Respond well, and the buttons look really nice as there is no physical buttons that collect dust.

If I had to say the most annoying thing in the packaging/monitors, I would have to say the plastic protection skin that the monitors were wrapped in to protect it during transportation. It just collected so much static electricity and I got so many shocks when taking it off. I should have used a protection.

Overall, the monitors are good for a TN panel and price.

the mouse is a MX1100

I can't really recommend you a headphone, I only had 2 pairs of headsets. But i've read reviews in which the HD515 is best bang for buck

$878 for a pair? That's expensive as hell.I bought me a set for 80 bucks at frys like last year and if i turn them up half way they rock my house lol

$878 is cheep for a good pair of floor standing speakers lol.

In fact, for a decent pair of floor standing I wouldn't expect to pay less then $1500.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
