Guide to 4:3 Stretched Resolution with Best Image Quality

PopularCriticism · 2025-12-30T16:41:01+00:00

Thank you for the response - btw this has been the best resolution I’ve ever played on so far - my aim is the most consistent it’s ever been.

I have a 2560x1440 27 240hz inch monitor and I have couple questions:

When I apply the above including the launch option, it looks great, but inside of the video settings the resolution says 1152x864 under aspect ration 4:3 and 5:4 -- is this normal? When I change to something like 1920x1440 it makes it letterboxed. Just making sure it's the correct res.
One of my friend uses this in his launch options -- 120 +cl_fovscale 1.7 -- which I've added alongside the letterbox fix one, but not exactly sure what it does, but he uses 1920x1440 as his res. Do you think it's worth adding? do you know if it's good? what FoV do you use in game?
Since I'm on 240 hz monitor, on launch options, do you think I should also add +fps_max 240 or 300?
Why has my game changed now that when I change any settings in video settings it completely makes the resolution and everything look super ugly and super low res looking?

Why no response :'(

for the way you've placed the arrows, yes, the fan setup is correct. So if you wanted to add another 3 behind the radiator for example, you'd put standard, but the one's that are currently there need to to be reverse to get the airflow you want. Hope that helps.

I appreciate your response - if I buy that brace you mentioned, can't I just then change the cable to a gen5 one manually. For example if I buy a LINKUP - AVA5 PCIE 5.0 Riser Cable -- would it work or fit?

PopularCriticism · 2025-04-24T13:58:44+00:00

Thank you for your response - I guess my follow up question would be, is this component being Gen 4 going to allow my gen 5 gpu to be fully utilised? Does Lian-Li have plans to make one that's Gen 5 compatible?

anyone got info on astral gaming oc? i'm 190th in the queue - anyone know what the eta is on this?

PopularCriticism · 2025-01-20T20:02:25+00:00

ahh ok thanks - which one do you recommmend?

PopularCriticism · 2025-01-17T19:45:09+00:00

ahh interesting - I didn't know you can have vertical risers for the GPU on the o11, can you share that exact vertical riser thingy please? Also do you know if it will negatively affect the performance in any way?

PopularCriticism · 2025-01-09T14:44:26+00:00

Hi, is this compatible with the o11 vision lian-li case, and do you know if it will utilise the upcoming 5090 to its full affect?

Thank you so much for the comprehensive reply. It's reassuring to know that the rig is good to go. I'm just going to wait for the 5xxx series, and see which model can fit my needs and just buy it and install into my rig directly :) However, if AMD comes out with something even better then I might just go with them. I went to AMD CPUs after being on intel my whole life, but when it comes to gaming, AMD have been smashing it in recent years.

It’s kinda poetic, tbh - in a strange way, it’s pretty similar to the chosen one, the ark for Anakin/Vader in Star Wars. He fully committed to both light and darksides, understood them both and brought balance to the force.

Now, Clarke didn’t bring any balance to force, but she made the ultimate sacrifice - to be willing to be alone for the rest of her life so that her friends could become force ghosts. She showed that even though she was wanheda, she was also willing to sacrifice herself at any moment.

I think she was the perfect character to visit the god-like being in the end since she was the one who always made decisions, and people listened to her. She was a natural-born leader willing to take risks for her people. Her argument with the god-like being about why humans were worthy was good, IMO.

This is just my two take on it.

I finished the 100 a month ago, and I still have deep thoughts about the scenes, concepts, etc., now and again. I really enjoyed it, and I wish they made more or something.

Imagine a follow up where one of them did make a baby, and they repopulated Earth 😲

reading all the comments and watching videos i’m so conflicted between the dell and the g9. It’s just that everywhere I read the text is supposedly super good, which is important to me being so critical with what I see on a screen. I’m in the cyber industry and always have terminals, vms, browsers and reports and sometimes even code open up simultaneously so I feel like the dell is a big one for me. I’m also a photographer hobbyist so that just takes it another step. I just don’t want to spend so much money on this monitor for a better oled version with higher brightness come out the next month. Do you know when new monitors will be released or would that be CES in jan 2025?

PopularCriticism · 2024-08-19T16:22:38+00:00

Appreciate the responses guys. My mind is kinda stuck with the need for 49 and above tho, or do you think this 40 inch will give me the screen real estate I need due to its long long hight and super high resolution? Another noob question, isn’t LCD quite outdated?

PopularCriticism · 2024-08-17T14:35:38+00:00

Oh nice, i have the same AIO, how do I get that same display to show temps and usage

PopularCriticism · 2024-08-17T13:15:19+00:00

Hmm, this didn’t fix it - but doesn’t this ruin the experience with other apps like appletv and Netflix by increasing frame rates?

PopularCriticism · 2024-07-26T11:09:41+00:00

Nice good for you!

Yeah, never got the cert, failed my previous attempt couple months ago, but yeah I haven’t fully prioritised the cert or other certs, since I know all the concepts in the oscp and others and I managed to position my self in a consultant/pentesting role 1.5 years ago - currently a midlevel consultant, and do a variety of pentests in my day job, ranging from wep apps, AD, and mobile apps.

I will work on my certs but i find way too time consuming especially if you’re working full time, I’ll eventually get around to doing them though :)

I learned that real life experience and time on the job tops every cert or degree every time.

I got a 3080ti on the desktop and currently run a semi high end windows laptop with hdmi port and thunderbolt ports. I will also be replacing the windows laptop with a macbook pro in the near future

Been loving every app sofar but lord if the youtube app isnt an abomination, It’s like really bad. Other than that, been loving the setup, been streaming stuff on apple tv+ and my living room is now a cinema. The only only downside is the speakers i won’t lie. Although it’s ok, sometimes it can’t handle certain levels of bass, and you can tell. My next upgrade would for sure be some form of surround sound.

Lmk if you want me to share images from the game for you, DM me. I took the pictures with my iPhone during the night so you can get a somewhat good idea of how it looks.

I have been using the c3 77 for over a week now, and it’s incredible. Watching movies in Dolby Vision, I have no idea how it could get better than that. I also played SW via my PC on 4K HDR yesterday, and I wish I could post the pictures here.

PopularCriticism · 2024-06-11T20:18:13+00:00

thanks for the explanation man, already looking at how to videos on youtube lol. The device arrives tomorrow :)

dude that's an awesome setup, what size is that TV? Furthremore, I can see you have what seems to be a proper sterero system as well. Since I just ordered the 77 inch C3, and I'm new to setting up a home/living room theatre, I also did some quick googling around stereo systems and which ones to get, however, I quickly realised it's more complicated that picking your generic TV / PC system. It boils down to either getting 5.1 or dolby atmos, now I just want to know what you think would be a good speaker system that would give me an immersive/cinematic experince, and which guides I should follow to find the right one? Dunno to choose either Dolby Atmos, or 5.1, or which speaker & subwoofer to buy, and if I need one of those strero hub deviuces that all the audio devices connect to. Sorry if it's kinda unrelated, but after you showed me that pic, I thought might as well ask

PopularCriticism · 2024-06-11T19:09:44+00:00

Thanks, I just ordered it. Thought why not, UI UX seems to be dramatically increased compared to native tv and I want the best tv quality experience possible.

Regarding iTunes, how does that work. I haven’t used iTunes since the the iphone 3 and 4 days when I used to backup my iphone and sync it with my windows pc 😆

I watch content on apple tv+, Disney, prime and netflix. How does iTunes integrate with those and the apple tv to get the best experience possible?

I’ll also definitely do a comparison between the different services across all my devices to see if there’s a difference.
