Should I buy a 240hz monitor?
  • My GPU is not able to drive anything of that sort hahaha. But the monitor was much cheaper than it used to be so I thought I'd snatch it and wait for a few months until I buy a new rig.

  • Should I buy a 240hz monitor?
  • Two things this will depend on - what are your system specs, and what games do you play.

    The thing is my PC has really old specs. But I saw the monitor heavily discounted so I thought I'd snatch it even if I can't really use it properly for a few months.

  • Should I buy a 240hz monitor?

    I'm on the market for a new monitor. Mine is a very old Asus that is a 1080p/60hz monitor.

    A few days ago I used to be the occasional competitive player (just playing with friends) and while I might play a competitive game or two again, I'm wondering if I should buy the BenQ Zowie 2546K. Where I'm looking (local market), it's currently the lowest price it's ever been.

    But my hesitation lies on the fact that I might have more use for a 4k/140hz monitor.

    I guess I'm mostly looking for personal recommendations.

    The ten year anniversary of Dota's public release is coming up (yes, we're working on some fun stuff for it; no, we're definitely not going to hit the July 9th date listed on Steam).

    Can we make a habit around here to post directly the tweet/comment/article instead of posting a screenshot to it
  • I disagree with this. I'm all for federated and non-corporate alternatives but I think we should post the source and not an alternative front-end. Those that want to use exclusively those alternative front-ends have access to browser add-ons that automatically redirect them.

    I'm sorry to post this here, this might be the wrong place so please redirect me to a more appropriate magazine.

    On Reddit (LinkedIn is even worse if I'm being honest) you would constantly see screenshot of tweets but never a link to the tweet themselves.

    kbin would probably save a lot of bandwidth doing this, and it'd make the experience much more pleasant for those who want to follow the object of the screenshot's discussion.
