sorry been sick this whole week. on an off of the pc. I have windows 10 and thanks for the link.

None of those helped.

It is the "Microsoft Malware protection service" that is causing me grief, I think.

When booting up the pc, the cpu is at like 100%, and when I check what is running, there are no process using more than 9%, but there are quite a few services in the list.

I think it might be time to re-install windows 10.

anyone got any interest in mechanical peripherals, Ive got a gigabyte aorus keyboard and mouse that im going to be offloading. Both are ~4months old with minimal use

 

can be seen here and here for details and specs. Both are extremely good bits of kit, but no longer have a use for them

question for those out there with good quality PC monitors

my main monitor (32" Sony TV) has finally spat the dummy and is causing my PC to freeze, and or start up with no video

have narrowed it down to a fault with the HDMI port

have another monitor in it's place hooked up to the HDMI port and it is functioning without a problem (so far)  

so I am looking at a 32" or larger replacement

question is 2K or 4K ?

I have sorted out these options  in 2K #1#2 or a 4K TV #3

#2 is 144 Hz and is probably best bang for buck to pair with my GTX 1080

but #3 is my pick cos 4K and huge for a PC monitor (43") but will my !080 run it ???

 

please help me to spend my hard earned :crazy:

I'd recommend number two but it depends what you want. 

 

If you wanna know how well your card will run your games, change the resolution in the game or use super sampling.

 

Even a 1080ti will struggle with 4k, on some games with the settings maxed. It really depends on the game, some will be fine.

 

I've used a 40 inch tv as a monitor for sh*ts and giggles and it was too big. You wanna have a deep desk so you can see the whole screen at once.

I am used to the "size" of a large TV cos the bezel on my 32" was 45 mm effectively making it a 38 mm monitor (cos 8 year old TV) 

and I do have a relatively deep desk

If you were to get a tv, you could save a couple of hundred by not getting a smart tv.

 

I've had a benq xl2730z for a couple of years now and I'm still happy with that. It's 1440p and 144hz.

 

Is there any chance you'll upgrade your gpu in the next couple of years? You could always get a decent 4k monitor now and then you'll be sorted when you upgrade your card.

 

I'd be picking something from this bunch. Think about if you want gsync etc and what refresh rate you're happy with. Ultrawide might be a good way to go.

BCB, the 1080Ti will struggle with 4k. My 1080Ti is sort of struggling with 2k 144hz 27" screen.

I like my settings on high and even though I blame the game, I am getting 60-70 FPS in ROE.

I have played dying light and was getting 120FPS.

 

If you think that you may get a 2080Ti in the future, then the 4k one is the best bet right now.

Do you really need 144hz as your old TV definitely wasn't 144hz.

Remember that once you go black you never want to go back.

 

Same thing applies to 144hz. Once you have a 144hz screen, if you go back to playing 60hz in games, you loose your sh*t within an hour and rage quit.

Don't ask me how I know cause I am not gonna tell you.
