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.

      Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. About time.

      Owing to the nature of Windows feature enablement updates, it was distributed over Windows Update services as a complete system upgrade rather than as an ordinary cumulative update

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
