    Solved! How to turn on my Vizio w/o a remote?

    If you are asking how to do this because the remote is lost then you'll have to get a universal remote. There are several places selling replacement remotes for Vizio TVs, if you can find the right model. They are surprisingly inexpensive.

    What Laptop Should I Get For Graphic Design?

    Both have a 1080p IPS display which means they will both have better colors than a TN panel which are fairly common on laptops. I don't see a Dell that is actually listed at 700, however there is an Acer that is $699. In the US the holiday's are coming so you might find a good deal on a laptop...

    In-wall speaker suggestions

    I agree. I wouldn't do piecemeal of different brands or even different series within the same brand to avoid getting a weird frequency response. I would only suggest that to someone who has a good ear for such things and enjoys picking out the nuances of their speakers for a given task...

    How best to monitor ISP speed & quality

    I think that some WIFI routers have this capability. Obviously the ones from your ISP will not.

    PC > Ext HDD < Smart TV

    You'll also want to set your NAS budget in the ballpark of a complete PC system. If you get something cheap, you'll end up with problems. I bought a cheap WD system. It's fine for system back-ups and file/media storage. But that's it. Trying to run PLEX off that NAS is a disaster. Media...

    Are these bubbles delamination?

    I haven't see a TV delam before. But if you showed me your picture and said "this is what delam looks like" I'd believe you 100% I don't believe there is going to be a solution for that. Other than replacing the panel. Which may be cheaper than getting a new TV. But not by much. You can get a...

    Stalled update load.

    What's the OS? version number? Did you or your friend recently reinstall the OS? Has it been offline for a long time?

    My laptop is doesn't accept the charger and battery of laptop is dead .how to get rid of from this issue??

    I think he's trying to ask if the laptop is still receiving power from the power supply with the battery removed. It's verifying that the plug and mobo are still functional. If it doesn't work with the battery removed there's a problem not related to the PSU.

    My laptop is doesn't accept the charger and battery of laptop is dead .how to get rid of from this issue??

    Unfortunately I'd have to agree with Gareth. That's probably the most likely solution. What's the brand and model of your laptop?

    LG 43UJ6300 okay if I'm not big into 4K? Or just go for 1080p?

    Looking through the Rtings reviews real quick I think you are on the right track with the MU6300. I don't think there are a lot of gimmicks going on with TVs that really skew the prices. The more you can spend, generally, the more you'll get. There are of course exceptions. You may also want to...

    LG 43UJ6300 okay if I'm not big into 4K? Or just go for 1080p?

    4k would be the best option for future proofing. Many of the TVs feature upscaling to convert content from 1080p to 4k. So they actually tend to improve the viewing experience vs 1080p. I've not heard of this fake 4k white subpixel thing before. That sounds super weird. Really anything you...

    Solved! Reaching 100°C on CPU playing Far Cry 5!!!

    If it's still under warranty, contact them about it. It sounds like the cooling solution has failed in one way or another. Does this only happen with FC5 or all modern games?

    Hi there, need help finding out if these are false positives or not

    Are you running dozens or anti-viral programs? These are probably fighting each other. I don't know where you got Jiangmin and Cylance but they are not typical virus detectors and I think you should not continue their use.

    Solved! Is this Alienware 15 quote good?

    Eximo is mostly right. But there are some instances, like mine, where it wont work. I only had about 90gb of actual data on my drive. I scrapped just about everything on my drive and still couldn't shrink the partition below 350gb on a 750gb drive. That was 5-6 years ago so maybe it's even less...
