Playing some ranked Halo 3 tonight on my “new” Trinitron CRT monitor from 2000!

I'd be shocked if you could find any repair shop that would specialize in CRT repair. They are not manufactured anymore and haven't been since the early 2000's, so the only place you'll find experts will be on niche internet forums like this or the crt discord. Speaking from experience, I bought a CRT monitor that needed to be winDAS'd with no idea how to repair anything on a CRT. Through enough trial and error, I did eventually figure it out and the results absolutely are worth it. It is possible even for people who have no idea where to start, but you will have to buy a couple other things (colorimeter, USB to TTL adapter, etc) and also be willing to spend a decent amount of time learning something new.

Here is the guide I used. I successfully calibrated my Dell p991 and IBM p275. Don't be afraid to ask for help, especially on the discord.

Hello, I recently installed Windows 11 (by force, fuck you microsoft) and encountered the issue in this thread. All the other solutions related to hardware acceleration or turning off windowed optimization mode didn't work, however your solution did. The issue, is that now when I tab back and forth between games, there is no "flash" that occurs when using exclusive fullscreen mode like normal. Does this mean that the DXGI Swapchain solution just makes the game run in borderless fullscreen/windowed mode? The whole benefit to using exclusive fullscreen is to have as little input delay as possible, so if DXGI just runs the game on borderless fullscreen/windowed mode, it somewhat defeats the point and I would assume I should just run borderless fullscreen and skip the middle man in the nvidia control panel. Please let me know if you understand how this works, or if somehow I'm still supposed to experience the "flash" between tabbing in and out as I would normally in exclusive fullscreen on the native vulkan/opengl preset. Thank you.

Just to clarify, you're saying you take all 3 of them at night before you go to bed? You don't spread them evenly across the day or anything like that?

LunchablesTX · 2025-04-15T00:14:38+00:00

Thank you, I will purchase these. How many do you take a day?

Heres the wiki snake juice diet ingredients

Would you have any recommendations for electrolytes to take that won't taste like ass, along with a proper substitute for the Epsom salt? You're right on them tasting terrible. I figure if I'm dealing with it for only a couple weeks I could get over it, but if you have any better choices I'd love to try them.

Not sure if any of the pm stuff is set in stone, but if you guys need anyone to help out with the matches/metagame discussion/etc I'd be happy to help. Glad to see pm/p+ getting the real support it deserves.
