general

I think I'm the outlier on this one

frim what people have told me

wait i dont remember how big my monitor is

hell, I give any and all of my old tech away

if I'm not using it

I mean, I would use it

then I'd just have 3 monitors

which I was considering

instead I will stick with 2, but 1 is much larger than I am already using

oh

mines only 24

L

I had a friend do the same thing recently Pika, and I started to realize your situation is more common

where you sell an old monitor or GPU to a sibling

Probably. I think the point is for them to use their money

something something learn about responsible spending

He's basically getting the monitor for a third the price it would have cost him to buy a new one anyways

They were about to buy it and I remembered I could just upgrade mine instead

lol

so yeah, probably as of tomorrow I will be a 27'' chad

since we are doing curbside pickup

I'm more interested how you'll like the smooth 165Hz

I have no idea what the specs on my current monitor is

60Hz

will this be the first smooth thing Pikachu likes?

found it

5ms response time, 60Hz

also going from lcd to led I think

I forget what the new monitor is

with regards to that

you'll hate this answer

but there's a lot more to it than LCD vs LED

but in general, new monitor is probably going to be very good

I googled it, did not understand, so I just said I don't care this monitor looks fine

and bought it

I think the high refresh rate wil actually surprise you

how nice it looks

just scrolling on webpages and shit

I'll report back if I am impressed

I mostly just cared about size, and getting at least as good if not better specs as my current monitor

Also it actually has HDMI

my current monitor does not

so I can stop using my retarded VGA to HDMI converter setup

still have to use my VGA to USB setup on my second monitor though

I like how I accidentally bought not 1, but 2 monitors that lacked HDMI

thats how fucking retarded I am

my computer cannot do VGA and I do not own and DVI-D cables

well what kind of hdmi does your computer support

two different kinds

I have like 2 types of HDMI, DVI-D

and display port?

maybe

I have 4 types

no, of just HDMI

there are 4 or 5 types

and 3 common specs

not counting ARCs

I have two different types of HDMI, not sure what the other one is, the main one is the common one I see everywhere

if it' a 2.0 or 2.1 you should be fine

but if it's a 1.4b you might have problems

since that caps out at 120 or 144, can't remember which

well if it does not work I will curse my life

2.0a might not work either

I am just going to assume whatever the fuck I am running works for it

2.0b will though

and 2.1 is super new

I bought my pc like 3? 4? years back now

its probably whatever the newest thing then was

1.4 is a 2010 spec 2.0 is 2015 2.1 is 2017

uh

idk about the revisions

you're probably fine

probably

its a g a m i n g pc

so it should support it Kappa

what's funny is it would support 4k just fine, but they artificially limited refresh rate support to as high as they thought people would go

until 2.1 where they just said "fuck it" and uncapped it essentially

Is there a work around if it does not support it?

or am I just fucked and have to return it and find a new one

legacy mode will work, so it will work to some capacity
