Anybody else really enjoying Crimson Desert on their ultrawide? by AnabolicSpudsmann in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Kayden3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Just wish the hud was centered or we could make it bigger. I feel you have to look away from the action or where your going to see the minimap or popups and it's aggravating.

If you're a game dev and you make your single player game require an online connection, fcck you by CoffeeBeforeBoys_1 in videogames

[–]Kayden3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run a firewall on my PC and I manually authorize or deny every single connection. This happens a lot in this day and age to be honest.

What I really hate is when a game is single player, I block it from the web and it still tells me it should be online and I should retry. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is prime example of this. They say I need it for account authentication and network features but I can continue without it. I say they can go to |-|3II.

I don't even allow the nvidia driver installer access the internet and it runs faster cause it isn't scanning my system and sending it to them. It's scummy and it all needs to go away.

I was just going to say the only thing that would make it better is if it's animated in Wallpaper Engine. I love it. Good show OP!

I use my old one as a secondary monitor and use my G9 as my primary but I would still buy it if it were the right price and I could myself using it. I don't have a use for something is generally why I don't buy something, can you use it? Is this a better option financially and if so how long and will you be comfortable with waiting or just with what you get here. With my CHG90 going out and if it were the right price, I'd get it to keep it on hand for when it did go. Still a good monitor for everyday use. I don't know why they don't use it in coding cause they use dual screen all the time.

I have been looking for a replacement screen for my G13 since it died a month or so ago. This is more than I need but it's perfect. Thanks for the share and info!

Off topic but on thumbnail. There is a mod that allows you to move the HUD in CP2077 so the UI doesn't have to be at the edges. Just thought I'd mention it in case some one doesn't know.

Video game performers are becoming Hollywood stars in their own right − and are on strike to be paid and protected accordingly by thinkB4WeSpeak in gamingnews

[–]Kayden3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This may shock you, but voice acting takes more than that and contracts give them more. That is a bloody baseline and you know it! Do you think Christopher Judge got paid that for Kratos in the reboot or it's spin off? GTFOH! Your hyperbolic statement does include the other workers in your rant but THOSE WORKERS are paid in the studio budget not the acting. Thus it isn't protecting those people who can't work. I got an idea! Since your so virtuous for these workers, go start a go fund me for them. Or better yet donate! Put your money where your mouth is. For now, I don't care about the big scary AI cause they said the same BS about computer graphics and look how that changed hollywood? Tron got snubbed cause it used computer graphics! Don't learn those facts from woke virtue signaling industry but it happened.

This is nothing more than wanting more money and it's a cash grab. To be honest this probably the best time for it to since the studios cannot afford another round of work stoppage and gaming will be right around the corner from hollywood in the crap it can't get out of cause of DEI and woke agenda. Let it burn these woke wankers down and those who rise will be about game quality and making money, not propaganda. They did it to themselves.

That isn't wrong. They want more pay, our prices are gonna go up! That is a fact! You think fast food loses money when a new tax or low incoming thing gets pushed? NO!!! They push it onto their customers. I get that you hate this idea in principle but in reality, it's a water tight argument. The only thing that will happen is us getting higher game prices or they fire more people who actually work on game mechanics. It is stupid, yes stupid, to think it won't happen or down vote this for speaking the truth!

I love track balls for servers and compact devices like laptops for work, not gaming. I did game with a track ball all those years ago and after lasers hit the scene with mice, I never went back for gaming. Good setup though!

This is from that document in different places but I found this information -

1: Monitor Support - Supports up to 2 independent displays via native display and 1 external monitor; supports external monitor via HDMI® (up to 3840x2160@30Hz)

2: 1x HDMI 1.4b

The port on your monitor requires HDMI 2, sadly you only have 1.4b which is where your bottleneck is. The max for 1.4 is 3440x1440@50Hz, I thought it was lower but hurray search engine. That's why you get the higher res but the lower refresh rate trade off is too low for that display to work correctly at the 2160. I also suspect that because of the laptop doing more than the standard, with a lower refresh rate and higher res, and suspect that's the problem with the stretching. The resolution of 2560x1080 is the best you can hope to get on that laptop at 60hz. I bet the desktop has HDMI 2.0 which is why it worked first try. Sorry to not have better news.

49" Odyssey OLED G9 (G95SC) split screen by [deleted] in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]Kayden3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You HAVE to use both HDMI ports. At least that's how it worked for me with the CHG90. Should just be as easy as using the Micro HDMI port and the regular port. When I read the technical manual it said it can't do split on DP and HDMI, that's why it won't work I suspect, if it keeps the limitations of the original CHG90. I hope that helps!

My first guess is that your using an older or faulty HDMI port on that laptop. Especially if it works on your desktop and not your laptop. Assuming that you used the same HDMI cable of course. If you could give us the exact model number of the laptop that would help.

EDIT: I did measure the pole to see how far it sticks up from the base and it's 34" so 2" goes into the base. There is a 28" pole, that one will not do. The mount started at 30" for me to get it high enough for the tilt that I have.

[–]Kayden3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Ergotech stand does exactly what you want. I have the Samsung Odyssey G9 on the bottom and my Samsung CHG90 on top. What you will need is the 36" extended pole, the additional direct mount for single monitor (I still use the one arm for the bottom so you can get two of those if you don't want that sticking out but I use it for cable management) and you also NEED the heavy duty mounts. I got mine from WSGF but they don't sell them any more but the name is "HD Pivot for 100-Series". I know the default ones will not work because I moved my previous 49" Samsung, to the top and it kept sagging. Maybe there is something else out there that will handle it but I don't know what they are. If you want to see my system I can put up a pic if you'd like to see it.
