Re: Windows 10

I just realized I never mentioned some of the handier utilities & programs you can use to help tame Win10, so here goes: 1. Classic Shell. Hands down the simplest, most stable, most familiar looking shell replacement I've seen. If you preferred Win7 or XP, you can choose which style & even m...

Skype

Lately, for a week or so, I've been having consistent problems with Skype connections. I use Windows 10 & have a dual core, 1.8GHz laptop, 8GB RAM, 750GB HDD. I run on a 1Gbit Ethernet hard wired connection, through a 1Gbit 8 port NetGear Ethernet Switch (because I need that many ports) that co...

Re: The Thank You Thread

I know I'm a bit late to the game, but I also greatly appreciate all the hard work & expertise of both the artists & staff here. Especially to the grand master, CT! :Beer

Re: 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

The theme sounds familiar. I think it may be a decent film. I'll give it a try when it comes around (cheap).

Re: House of Lies (2012-2016)

Not a subject I have any interest in, though Don Cheadle is usually quite good. I already have so many series stacked up & waiting, no impetus to put this in it.

Re: 720p vs 1080p

I think he meant they take less desk space, since they can hang on the wall on a bracket. I've considered dual monitors, but same as you, I have no more desk space. I don't like the idea of hanging my monitors on the wall. For one, they'd be too far away (can't sneeze on them as well & make all...

Re: 720p vs 1080p

Excellent pointers, CT. I've considered dual monitors for a couple of years, but just haven't had a driving need. Several of my friends & even a couple of family members are using them, though they don't even do graphics. I'm a dinosaur, I guess. :cheesy

Re: 720p vs 1080p

I'm debating whether to buy a 50" monitor for my laptop as 17" just doesn't cut it with PS I don't know that I could handle a 50. I still just live with my 17" laptop screens. My wife has a 39" TV as her screen. Even that seems a bit large for my. I'd have to put my head on a sw...

Re: 720p vs 1080p

I guess upscaling to 4K is trickier than to 1080. At that size, the interpolations would probably look nastier.

Thanks for all this great info Fog and FS! Yeah Fog, you didn’t get too technical and in a way, neither did FS as I sort of understood his cool pic! :D I don’t mind the black bars at the top or bottom either, it’s just that sometimes, not often, you have more black bars on top and bottom than the a...

Re: 720p vs 1080p

1435998009385243206.png The bigger your TV is (and the closer you sit to it), the more likely you’ll actually be able to tell the difference between standard definition, 720p, 1080p, and even 4K. The chart above, from Carlton Bale, is a good reference for figuring out whether 1080p or 4K really mat...

Re: 720p vs 1080p

Filling your TV screen is not a matter of how many scan lines are present in the video stream (720p or 1080p) but whether the video image is actually a true 16x9 aspect ratio. Most movies are a variation on that 16x9 standard of 1.77:1 or 1.78:1 (NTSC). Some are 1.66:1 (usually PAL) or standard old...
