I'm looking to get a new 32" 4K monitor. I'm upgrading from dual 24" 1080p monitors that are ancient. The monitor will mostly be used for work (90%) - I'm a software engineer working on a Macbook Pro. Gaming (10%) is factorio and BG3. Maybe flight sims. No more FPS or anything like that...

Ah, that's awesome - didn't realise the requirements were so low for the PC version. I'll give it a bash on the existing PCs and see how it goes...

I've got some old work PCs that I'm going to repurpose into Minecraft PCs for the kids (they have only played on the switch and their tablets up until now). I seem to recall that they are i5-3330 with 8GB (or perhaps 16GB?) ram. I'll be running ubuntu linux. I'll most likely give them my old...

I have an LG C165, which has a connection to Freesat. Its been working perfectly for the past few months. About 2 weeks ago, the signal quality dropped off, and I'm now unable to watch almost all channels properly. Some are completely dead (BBC1, 2, etc) and some are highly pixelated (completely...

Thanks all. Went for the LG C1 65", and I have to say, it is freakin amazing. Picture is incredible, and even the sound is pretty good. Exceeded my expectations.

Our Hisense 55" just died after 2 years. It was still under guarantee, so we were given a full refund by Costco. It was one of their cheaper models (£330), but we were quite happy with it (especially considering we upgraded from a 42" plasma!). I'm now looking to replace it with a 65". My...

If I go this route, will I be able to control the volume using TV remote? Or will I need the soundbar's remote as well? If not, can you recommend any other soundbars that have HDMI ARC and have another HDMI port? Willing to spend up to £200 (but preferably less).

Thank you for the replies. I have a Hisense H55A6550UK TV. As far as I understand, its just an ARC, and not an eARC port. To be honest, I'd prefer to not have an HDMI switch if at all possible, just because its yet another remote control to worry about it. If I go with optical, am I losing...

I currently have a 55" TV with 3 HDMI ports. These are used by a freesat tuner, nvidia shield and a games console. I'm considering getting a soundbar for the TV and connecting it via ARC (one of the TV's HDMI ports does support ARC). Firstly, am I correct in understanding that all sound...

Thank you!

Outputs are totally fine (display port or HDMI) - my question is more around whether I'll need more GPU processing power?

I'm currently running 2 24" monitors (1920x1080), and I'm considering upgrading to a new 34" curved monitor (3440 x 1440). This will be used almost entirely for work (programming). I'm currently running my dual monitors off the motherboard graphics (Gigabyte B360M-D3H Intel B360). Will the...

Ah, I didn't realise that you could change the SSID on powerlines. At least the ones that I've used didn't have this functionality, so I just need to make sure that I get one where you can. Are phones/tablets smart enough to automatically swap to the strongest signal (assuming they are on the...

Thanks for the responses. I'm quite happy to use powerlines, but my concern is the wifi. If I use a powerline with wifi, then there will be 2 wifi signals - the existing wifi at the router, and a different one at the powerline. I assume this means that my parents would have to manually switch...

My elderly parents have just moved into a new flat. Towards the back of their house, there is no (or very weak) wifi signal. They also need their computer connected in a room where there is no signal. There are a few options here: Get a mesh wifi setup for them. May be too difficult for them...

I beieve it was a 750Ti. My res is currently 1080p, but I'd like to future proof a bit if possible. I am considering a 4k at some point.

I upgraded my system about a year ago to the following: Gigabyte B360M-D3H Intel B360 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard be quiet! Pure Power 11 400W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply Intel Core i7-8700 I need a new graphics card, as I've been running off the motherboard's graphics. I run linux...

Thanks for all the replies. Can you please explain why the switch is considered better for families and/or younger kids? Is it the type of games that are available on the platform?

Hi all, I've been a PC gamer (forever), but with some of the deals around, I'm considering getting a console for the first time - either a PS4 Pro or XBox 1X or perhaps a Nintendo Switch. I'm not a huge gamer anymore, but I'd like to try a few console games now and again. The console will be...

Just came back to say thank you to everyone that helped me with this spec. Everything put together and worked first time (surprise!), and been running perfectly for the last week. Loving the power, and its almost completely silent too. :)
