[+] middlemouse@lemmy.world -24 points 1 year ago (3 children) It sounds like your monitor sucks, if you're wanting to play at 4k or high refresh you need to upgrade let alone if you want both of those things permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Havoc8154@mander.xyz 25 points 1 year ago (2 children) Yeah I absolutely do not care about that. I also won't bother to get a 4k TV until I get some banger clearance deal or something because it does not fucking matter. I grew up on tube tvs dude, anything that isn't fuzzy is golden. Most of what I'm playing is either indie or ancient, and seeing giant pixels in perfect clarity does nothing to improve the experience. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Atropos@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago I'll get a 4k monitor when my current one breaks.

Fun > Smoothness > Graphics. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago There was an old HP touchsmart that my partner had laying around. It's terrible. Pentium Processor, standard HDD, with no dedicated graphics so running much of anything on it is out. No wireless AC, so it has to be a 2.4ghz network, and I don't have a hardwire in the bedroom. So I just threw Mint on it installed RustDesk because I didn't have a wireless mouse and keyboard or anywhere to put them if I had them. About a week into realizing it had some troubles playing larger movies (even mp4s from the machine no matter the player) I moved to 720. I couldn't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p from across the room on a 22" screen anyways. Now all the streams work fine. Starting to realize the last time I bought a monitor was 2009. Anyways, 4K on my TV in the living looks great, but it really isn't needed for standard enjoyment. Especially if I'm only half ass paying attention. permalink fedilink source parent
