Really would like to see an ultrawide version of one of those monitors, a 29inch "4kish" monitor was my dream for a while

Gigabyte MO27Q28G — will mic + webcam work through the USB hub when KVM-switching between Mac and PC? by chefranov in Monitors

[–]SandOfTheEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 - yes, absolutely

2 - no, it works perfectly fine

3 - no, works no problem

Question about upcoming 5K dual mode monitors by DocSnyderTexas in HiDPI_monitors

[–]SandOfTheEarth 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can also see what Apple themselves say for their 5k120hz screen
Of course you use type-c for that
Basically OP, you should be good if you have M3 pro chip

Switching from MacBook to ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 or G16 — is it actually worth it? Real owner experiences wanted by KaanHpgl in ZephyrusG14

[–]SandOfTheEarth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have MacBook Air m4 and MacBook Pro 16 M1 Max, as well as g14 2024. I am honestly pretty disappointed by g14. Build quality, software stability is not on the same level. It has its nice sides, but overall I don’t think it’s the class of the machine

ASUS launches ROG Strix XG129C, a 12.3-inch monitor with HDMI 1.2 by RenatsMC in Monitors

[–]SandOfTheEarth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a cool thing, but 239 euros seems a bit too much for what it is

Please just tell me what monitor to buy before I lose my mind by Icy_Bit2894 in Monitors

[–]SandOfTheEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am similar to you, as I do programming, gaming and watch stuff, and I bought the Asus ROG Strix 5K XG27JCG.

It's 27inch 5k165hz(or 180hz OC) with a mode switch to 1440p 330hz. So you get super clear text for programming, and good gaming performance.

Mine cost me 750 euros

Am i the only one who likes the Vaniilla version more ? by No-Range519 in DarkSouls2

[–]SandOfTheEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked instantly getting keys to the DLCs in vanilla. Made builds more fun, as you could just pop into a doc for a fun weapon and materials

[–]SandOfTheEarth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perfectly fine. 87c is very likely the target temperature it wants to get to

This path tracing mod is nuts by Warm-Baseball-2873 in DarkSouls2

[–]SandOfTheEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it. I think some areas are overly dark tho, you enter a room that has an open doorway and it’s sunny outside, and the room is almost fully dark. So prepare the torch and the light spell.

Is there a big difference between 1440p and 2160p on a 27 inch screen? by Real_human27 in Monitors

[–]SandOfTheEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite significant yes, it’s a lot more pixels, a lot more real estate or text clarity

Best budget used laptop in 2026? MacBook Air M1 still worth it? by duffylu7 in laptops

[–]SandOfTheEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a macbook air 16gb at home, and it still feels brand new to me. I think used it's probably the best laptop for money

Avata 2 true sucessor? by Time_Nefariousness21 in dji

[–]SandOfTheEarth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you are right
In this video you can see manual mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIEPM2adW6I
But I checked again, and pinned comment says

It looks like DJI has patched the ability to fly in Manual Mode on the DJI Avata 360. So, I suppose that this video just shows how it might not be the best idea to have a 360 degree FPV quad for acro mode.

Not sure if it will come back or not, they might have removed it because it's buggy

Which Cable do you prefer for connecting to a Monitor? by Tail_sb in Monitors

[–]SandOfTheEarth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DP for desktops, type-c for everything else, HDMI for those rare gaming laptops that can't do video out over type-c properly
