    SpaceX - is it a pipe dream?

    That's a really cool story. But why is it that almost every single news story (even in a "science" publication) gets power (kW) and energy (kWh) confused?

    Quiet PSU ~500W

    Hi there, I've had my Corsair HX 520W PSU for about 9 years and the fan has just started to make an annoying scraping sound. So I think it's time to replace it. I might replace the fan on this unit and relegate it to second-system duty - but realistically it's probably about time for a...

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    What graphics card are you using, and what type of cable? I had an issue until I switched to Display Port with a DP > HDMI 2.0 adapter and a good quality HDMI cable.

    When you read something and think... dot dot dot...

    The usual sense of irony whenever someone labels people "**********", then starts whining and complains about "labels". Why is this such a big deal?

    Water bottle?

    Can someone explain the appeal of these bottles to me? I've always just used some kind of old water/coke bottle which I refill from the tap. They cost almost nothing, they come with a free drink already inside, and they last for a year or more.

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    There have been a few comments in this thread about achieving 60Hz @ 4k. I assume you are using HDMI, not a DP>HDMI adapter or something? You should check you have a good quality HDMI cable that's labelled as "high speed".

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    Personally I would favour a 1440/144 monitor with Free/Gsync if I was doing that much gaming.

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    Glad to hear it. Any idea which it was that fixed it? My AMD driver version is apparently 22.19.157.3. I'm using an MSI R280X

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    In theory I believe that all HDMI cables should be the same, but according to the blurb in the club3D adapted, some are faster than others. Apparently ones labelled as "high speed" are guaranteed to achieve HDMI 2.0 standard. Sorry to ask an obvious question, have you tried manually setting the...

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    Update for anyone who's interested. I'm now running mine at 4k 60Hz from my old R9 280X card by using this Club3D DisplayPort™ 1.2 to HDMI™ 2.0 4K60Hz UHD Active Adapter and a 2m HDMI "high speed" cable, thereby converting my graphics card's displayport 1.2 into HDMI 2.0. Previously when using...

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    Interesting. I'm currently away so I can't verify this. But if that's the case then it's very annoying. Why would the bottom few pixels have a different useful viewing angle than all the others? edit: perhaps they don't. Maybe because my taskbar is black I just cannot notice the difference...

    Yes, agreed. However it's worth saying that free speech always has its limits. You're free to say offensive things, but you're not free to incite violence - for example.

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    I'm using an MSI R9 280X. I'm using an HDMI cable from the HDMI 1.4 port, waiting on a DP-HDMI 2.0 adapter (as per my comments above). Drivers are Radeon 17.4.3. I've tried updating the TV firmware but it's already at the latest version.

    Mini-Review: Samsung 40KU6400 as a monitor

    I've just taken delivery of this monitor, and I'm also having the same issue as above. It looks like the bottom few pixels are missing from the taskbar. If I do a printscreen I can see all the pixels - so they are definitely "there". I just can't see them on the TV. Any ideas, anyone?

    Generation *********...

    And therein lies the insanity of this whole debate. My only issue with the SJW types is if they try to shut down debates at universities, or no-platform people they don't like. I think it sets a dangerous precedent of blocking free-speech. Everywhere else, Facebook, Twitter, some random guy...
