What's the screen res on that, i can't see it in the link?Beardroid91 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 2:15 am With the new RTX cards coming and my goals set on getting one, i'm looking into getting a screen that can handle the FPS output of a RTX 3070, and because my eyes have become spoiled to IPS so it will be an expensive screen.
So far one screen have my attention, the Lenovo Legion Y27G-20 27" 165 Hz IPS 2560x1440p screen, it uses a LG panel, so coming from my 5+ year old Dell 25" IPS 2560x1440p screen that also uses a LG panel it would be ideal to just stay on LG panels.
I feel like the Legion Y27G-20 is the dark horse no-one is talking about, and no-one has made a good video review of, while it is better and cheaper than LG's own version, so i'm very tempted to get it, but anyway you put it ... 442 euros is a lot of money here in Denmark, so it better be one heck of a screen, which it probably is, with the right kind of hardware powering it. And it supports freesync and is compatable with G-sync.

What are your thoughts, any other screens i should be looking at ?

Maybe need to get one of those surge protectors.MadManCK wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2022 12:35 pm I had a massive power surge in my street this week and my HTPC was terminated because of it. The PSU had gone. So i have not been up this week.
I found a nice 750W EVGA 90% rated modular PSU for a reasonable price at a shop who actually had them in stock. So that was a good shopping experience. Including free next day delivery.
But these power surges lately are terrible. They are working on some foundations nearbye and the heavy equipment is usually hooked up to a generator, but these morons sometimes use the normal powergrid instead. And i like builders.
I'm on the same power grid group as all the shops in my block.
This PSU also has a protection against all kinds of these power related things so hopefully that will be a one time experience.
The heart transplant went reasonably well and these modular PSU's are awesome, especially in a cramped HTPC, where you do not want additional pointless cables lurking around.
Time for some updates
