Season two of Slow Horses on Apple TV+ is not nearly as good as season one.

I lead to believe that sim racing, especially with AI cars, tends to be more limited by CPU than GPU bottlenecks.

All of that said ... I do think it's worth it in the end to use triples. I don't use my setup nearly enough but when I do, I really like the feeling of being "inside" the simulator. I also believe there's a gameplay advantage to be being able to see that extra 1/3 of the screen, specifically...

I have three 27" 2560 x 1440 monitors. An 49" ultrawide is exactly the same height as a 27" but twice as wide ... so 2/3 the total pixels as a triple 27" setup therefore easier on the GPU assuming all other things are equal. I worry more about VRR certification/compatibility than response...

If I knew @Hot Monkey 's address I'd buy and send this to him ...

Speaking of streaming ... I've finally cancelled my DirecTV live streaming service. I just couldn't stomach paying >$120/mo any more. When baseball season starts I'll get get an account with Fubo TV for $75/mo because that's the only way to get all of the Astros games.

Apparently trained humans are better/more accurate and more consistent at judging pressure applied than small ranges of motion. The brain-to-muscle processes needed to detect and apply a tiny bit more or less pressure are faster and more accurate than those needed to move a stick 1/128th of an...

That's normal The load cell measures pressure not movement. On your calibration screen you should be able to set what percentage of pedal pressure equals full braking in the game.

I seem to recall that there is at least some AppleTV+ content that does not require a paid membership.

Slow Horses on AppleTV (not sure if it requires +) is really good.

I'm a fan of streaming but it's a convoluted mess figuring out what's available on what platforms at what cost.

AppleTV is free but they have a paid tier called AppleTV+. TV content on AppleTV+ and very few movies are included at no extra charge, but the significant majority of movies cost extra to buy or rent. Movie availability on all the platforms is unpredictable. Some blockbusters and high demand...

Seems like you're leaning towards a TV. I don't blame you as you don't have to worry about as many variables. The only objective advantage a projector based system has is the size to cost ratio. For movie watching I personally just seem to prefer the subjective "feel" of a projected image vs a TV.

I get it but I would only even consider it if I were also moving the seating a little closer.

Personally, I definitely would NOT down-size the screen. I don't use my HT much for ... reasons ... but if I did replace my current projector in the light controlled HT for a 4K model and don't want to break the bank I'd be looking real hard at BenQ, BenQ HT3650 for $1500 BenQ W4000i for...

Looks like Turner Classic Movies is running back-to-back Godzilla movies from the 60’s this morning.

That's almost enough to make me buy a blue ray player.

I'm watching episode seven and I'm quickly losing interest in Monarch. It exposes all of the problems with turning cinematic properties into an ongoing series and needing to extend the running time. All the jumping back and forth in time to round out plot elements, the ridiculous circumstances...

I recognized him from that show immediately too but didn't know his name/lineage. I guess he'd be what the media has started calling a Nepo Baby because, IMHO he's not all that good an actor.

None of the above … I always skip the opening and closing credits. And so far I haven’t seen much age progression. There’s the young Captain Shaw and old Colonel Shaw. Anyway … At first glance I thought “oh, I see why they cast him, he kinda-sort of looks like a young Kurt“. Then there was the...
