if those are the same panels Dell was making their 16:10 20" screens from 10 years ago then they are fairly good

I googled the model # and nope (TN panel with CCFL; 250 cd/m2)

oh, they are technically 22", no wonder the pixels are so hueg

most monitors decay past calibratibility after 4 years. CCFL backlights die in 5 years, so have fun.

i've never seen a dead ccfl that wasn't just a bad cap

my apple cinema displays are still going strong.

sound comes out of the tv speakers and a Bluetooth sound bar at the same time because more sound is better

set the TV volume to 0 and try to train up your wife on using the other remote for volume

things I discovered today:

monitors plugged into dells new thunderbolt dock (TB16) arent HDCP-compliant


lol

that doesn't surprise me that much since we have no end of trouble with new laptops not being able to charge off old docks even when Dell says they are cross compatible

Is kodi a better option than vlc? Asking for a friend.

For what?

Kodi is a frontend for a HTPC "experience".

VLC is just a video player.

windows is poo poo at high dpi

i know it's not really fair to laugh at but our new high spec laptop is a lenobo P50 with a 4K screen running Win7.

the start menu is the size of a postage stamp.
that is the menu, when opened, not just the button itself.
