    Blotchy graphics in Aliens Dark Descent

    I'll have a look, thanks. I have noticed that when the dgpu is in use, windows is detecting a second display (in device manager they both appear as Lenovo DisplayHDR), could that be an issue?

    Blotchy graphics in Aliens Dark Descent

    It's predominantly in black areas yes. I'm not exactly sure what banding is, but besides my use of "blotchy", I would describe the issue as what should be one solid area of colour instead having patches of pixels made up of a similar tone, creating an ugly effect. 4090 gpu, i9-13900HX...

    Legion Pro 7i Screen Bright Spots

    Hello, I have a new Legion Pro 7i and I am a little disappointed by the fact that there are visible bright spots: picture . In fairness, it's sometimes more noticeable than others but as it's an expensive laptop, I was wondering if the issue is bad enough for me to try to return/replace it...

    Usb port protectors?

    All of the ports on my old laptop became iffy, I have to jiggle my mouse to re-connect it often. There was also the time that the laptop fell off my bed onto the side with a connected device, resulting in one of the two ports becoming bent and un-usable, although to be honest I suspect the "port...

    Usb port protectors?

    Does anyone know if you can get small male to female usb adaptors, to protect the original port from frequent re-connects? I see extension cables which i'd prefer to avoid due to the size but nothing else.

    Gaming/Music Headphones Advice

    Will be plugging them into a gaming laptop (Legion 7) and an old, CRT tv. The noise consideration was mainly due to wanting to block out the laptop fans. but I have no idea if an over the ear set with audio playing would be sufficient to do that. I have no need for a microphone. I used to use...

    Power on/off vs always on

    I have always kept my laptop on, but for obvious reasons have started turning it off when not in use lately. This has coincided with two separate hardware failures during the boot process after the laptop had been completely shut down. As I am hoping to purchase a new gaming laptop soon, I...

    Non gaming laptop advice required

    Sorry, should have explained: I am reluctant to get a "gaming" laptop due to it's dedicated graphics card and the effect they apparently have on heat, noise and lifespan. Thanks I'll look. Thanks. I'll give that a watch shortly :)

    m.2 to usb

    Would anyone be able to point me to a suitable adapter for this drive: https://www.cdw.com/product/toshiba-bg4-256gb-m.2-bics4-ssd/5901483 I don't really know anything about these newer drives and the adapters I have found all seem to be for drives that are much longer than the one I have. Thanks

    ** LG 27GL850 EARLY BLACK FRIDAY... BOOM... SAVE £150 **

    Would this be OK with a Nvidia Shield? Specifically, will it downscale a 4k signal over HDMI?

    US: Star Trek: Discovery

    Yes, unfortunately. Why can't I stop? (I guess re-watching hundreds of hours of original Trek will do strange things to people). I'm finding this worst than seasons 1-2 somehow; perhaps because for me, it was easier to pretend it wasn't really trek then. The sad thing is, I really like the...

    Monitor purchase help needed

    Hi - I'm hoping to buy a monitor soon, for console gaming and also to serve as a bedroom TV (whilst utilising a Shield Pro). I'm inclined to opt against an actual television due to the performance issues the smaller sizes seem to have (particularly with motion blur) and am also hoping that the...

    Small TV or monitor?

    Is anyone able to comment on how the performance of a smallish (32"-43") tv would compare to a monitor of a similar price? I am currently considering LG 32LM6300 for the tv and an electriQ 25" Full HD 144Hz (165Hz OC) HDR FreeSync Gaming Monitor (although I am open to suggestions). I would...
