    *Vizio 43" 4k m-series* Picture on my TV while playing PS4 looks awful

    Check settings my ps4 looks great on my 4k Vizio m series. Check your settings, I'd turn off the motion blur stuff and sharpness enhancement, and 1080p to 4k scales well because 1080 is exactly half of 4k, a good Blu-ray 1080 looks better than YouTube 4k most of the time. Make sure your ps4 is...

    Vizio 4k M(2015) vs E(2016) same price

    I recently purchased and m-series and I'm pleased with it, I was debating between m and p series, and went m for cheaper price. Picture is good, I'm sure there are better but the difference isn't much and it's hard to get a setup and then content that can max the TV out to know how good the pic...

    Display Port converted to HDMI

    So what's the problem? No sound? No picture, what video card are you using or motherboard
  5. S

    When I connect my tv via HDMI it will show the computer screen, but I can't get it to 'extend'.

    What video card do you have, and what type of connections are used for each monitor? If you don't have a video card, dual monitors may not work

    Can't think of any more options, need your help. - HTPC HDMI 4K Screen 5.1 Audio?

    I've had a similar issue with my setup from just being an old receiver , but the optical output doesn't support true 5.1 out, you'll likely get something like front left channel, front right, rear l&r sub , no center channel and rear are the same. Coax would work (it's a single orange female RCA...

    I have a cooling related question on these laptops..

    I prefer side vents because I always end up unknowingly blocking the bottom somehow, but side vent usually are easy to avoid. I don't care for a cooling pad but if your getting temp throttled then use the mat.

    Need a single Audio Solution for multi-system setup

    Cheap receiver and 5.1 setup, buy used. Probably get a receiver for $100, 4 sat speakers for 80ish then sub for $60. Upgrade as needed or budget allows, sound bars are garbage

    Is it possible to upgrade to nvidia graphics card from integrated intel graphics in my dell inspiron 14 7437 7000 series?

    ebay link laptop external gpu rig It would appear like it may be possible, but limited usefulness and taking mobile gaming down a notch or two. Also amd cards equivalently powerful will work as well, they are compensated for their gpu recommendations by the gpu makers im sure.

    Trying to Decide Between ASUS X555LA-HI31103J vs. Lenovo G50-80L000H2US Laptop

    The chrome book is a much less capable machine than the other two. It's basically for web browsing, word processing , and video playback (streaming) as storage space is very limited. I would stick with the first two, and while I'm not familiar with the chrome books software , I would be much...

    Advice on $700-900 Laptop Purchase

    You probably need to pick wich is more important: 1. An SSD Or 2. Better discrete graphics card You can probably get either one of these and fall within your budget but not both. I would get the discrete graphics and upgrade to an aftermarket ssd myself. Upgrading a graphics card in a...
