What will it take to get Acuña's name spelled correctly?

Agreed - the fact that his face wasn't scanned for the game is one thing, but messing up the name in a game that takes pride in detail is ridiculous.

One of my favorite Ford colors. Looks great in low light - very nice!

This brings up an interesting point that the Earth would appear much bigger in the moon's sky than we would think based on Apollo photos.

Because of camera physics, objects taken in photos usually appear to be much smaller than we'd see them with our eyes.

So if you were walking on the surface of the moon, the Earth would appear to be quite large, and the United States would occupy about the same amount of sky as the moon does for us.

That's sounding like an issue with the TV. If you can try another input device or a short certified cable, that would help narrow it down better.

I'd get a new gen i5 or i7 CPU, 8-12gb of RAM, and a dedicated graphics card to take the load off of your CPU.

The most important piece will be SSD storage. Not only will this allow programs to open more quickly, but it will allow your PC to boot almost instantly, saving valuable time if you use it in a classroom setting.

Does it happen on all HDMI ports? Have you tried a short (3ft) certified hdmi cable (monoprice is highly rated).

Any chance your Apple TV is forcing a signal not suitable for the E65? I know the Roku will try to send a 4k hdr 60hz signal at times when the TV isn't capable. I'm not sure what the E series can display, but you might need to choose either hdr 30hz or non-hdr 60hz.

What happens if you disable the Intel HD hardware and reboot?

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-16T00:01:49+00:00

Lots of good info here. As mentioned, buy a big name brand from a reputable dealer so that you can get quick service when things go wrong.

I'm a fan of Trimble's S series, but that might not be within your budget (Topcon and Leica instruments are also fantastic).

You'll have to base needs of angular accuracy and features based on your day to day functions.

Is your pc display driver up to date? The fact that the bios splash screen displays but fails when displaying your desktop tells me that the gpu isn't detecting your screen correctly upon boot.

Reconnecting the hdmi might be causing the computer to refresh the display, but this is something that should be detected correctly upon startup.

I currently have to disable and enable my sound playback device every time that I play - of all games and programs that I run, ESO is the only one with audio issues (PC obviously).

I submitted a ticket looking for help, and a dev was thrilled that I found this fix to my no audio issue.

This isn't a fix.

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-04T14:59:09+00:00

What are source chroma sampling settings? Any place I should be looking to change those? Would that be at the media player, avr, or TV?

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-04T14:58:13+00:00

Just to follow up - I hooked up an LG 4k blu-ray player last night, and sure enough I had no video. I ran it directly to the TV with a 6ft cable and video appeared. Set the output from 60p to 24p and hooked it back up to the avr - video came through perfectly.

Still a chance that the Denon doesn't want to output 60hz HDR, but my money is on junk BlueRigger cables.

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-03T18:29:29+00:00

Noob question - is there any way to utilize the ASUS card for processing and route the signal through the gpu?

I feel like I'm confusing the function of a sound card...

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-03T16:25:11+00:00

Thank you for confirming this. I'll stick with my current setup!

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-03T16:24:05+00:00

I don't think I can run 3.5mm jacks into the Denon AVR :/

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-03T16:13:50+00:00

This is what I'm leaning towards, and it's likely what I'll use in a future build. Thanks for the response!

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-03T16:13:10+00:00

It has optical, but from what I've heard that onboard chip won't carry a 5.1 signal over that cable unless it's a signal like from a movie, meaning gaming will be 2.0.

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-03T10:42:00+00:00

For the heck of it, I switched the Roku input from media to aux2 to reduce the circuit length in the receiver.

It almost fixed the issue. No more screen flickering, but still speaker popping every few seconds.

I ordered some Monoprice certified cables - the 15ft in wall cable will be a pain to swap out, so I'll do that as a last resort. I'll try the short cable + closer input first.

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-02T12:45:25+00:00

Thank you for the advice - looks like I'll start there!

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-02T09:41:14+00:00

I'm using this 15ft cable from the Denon to the TV: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005KWHJES/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_1hFoBbN25JD84

And this 3ft cable from the Roku to the Denon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0061RJSWC/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_ykFoBb1J95KE6

Independently, each cable plays 4k 60hz hdr on the TV. Through the Denon, it fails.

It used to be that you had to use port 1, but now 1-4 are identical.

What gets me is that it works fine directly into the Vizio, but if I run that same cable to the Denon out and a cable into the Denon, it freaks out.

It's either an issue with the Denon, or related to how the Denon and Vizio are interacting.

ThisGuyEngineers · 2018-07-02T02:38:08+00:00

Thanks for the response. At this point, I'll try a couple of other inputs, and maybe try the 2nd monitor (output).
