Re: How to get dual monitors working properly?

OS is Windows 10 Pro X64.

My main Samsung LCD is connected via DVI.

Think I'll hook up my other monitor via HDMI.

How to get dual monitors working properly?

I'm adding a 2nd monitor(a 22-inch Dell SE2219H 1080p LCD)..

The SE2219H was just ordered from Ebay.

This is going alongside my current Samsung S32D850T 1440p LCD.

Is it hard to get dual monitors working properly?

Re: long-overdue PC upgrade....

Why do you need someone else to insert the chip into the mainboard? Or something else being done besides that such as system burn in? Worried I'd break it.I don't want to screw up my brand new $300 CPU. Also,I'm nervous about installing motherboards,ever since (years ago,when I didn't know very muc...

Re: DYMT: Imi's Legacy

Or for some real fun..try getting a working free VPN on Windows 10.

Cyberghost is junk now with version 7,and they stopped supporting version 6 to force you to upgrade to version 7.

Just started re-watching The Shield(since I got it on Blu-ray from Amazon.)

The blu-rays are so much higher quality than the DVD version of the series I had back in the day.

Don't remind me about bedbugs.

Re: What are you playing right now?

Mostly been playing FiveM.(it's a 3rd-party GTA 5 multiplayer server mod)
Tons of different servers to pick.

So much more fun playing with real-life cars in-game than the generic Rockstar cars.

Having a good set of headphones and a good microphone setup makes things far easier in-game.

Started watching Archer.

(I have season 1 to 6 on blu-ray,and season 7 thru 9 on Amazon Prime instant video).

One of the funniest shows(with the most beautiful blu-ray image quality) I've seen in a long time.

Mostly been on FiveM.

(It does require you to create a second clean,un-moded copy of your GTA V game install-so the Steam version of GTA V is easier to deal with..)
