    Any laptop new enough to have DP, USB-C and HDMI 2.0 should have no issue sending a 4K signal.

    Why do you want a converter as opposed to just using a HDMI cable end to end?

    Windows can output to multiple monitors and at different resolutions.

    just be a bit weary of using an OLED with a PC for normal desktop stuff as burn in can be an issue

    I was just wondering if anyone was NOT INTERESTED in their blast effects or accessories and wanted to sell them. Be they the ones with Tricranius, or the stuff that comes with the Transformers Collaborative J.Balvin NTWRK J Balvatron Soundwave and Tapes Exclusive or the ones from The Ark, Omega Supreme, Scorponok, Jetfire or the like ?.

    I think I may have to ask the store, as if it can't do at least 4K video I'm not buying a laptop no matter how good the graphics card is as it's going to be used 20% for gaming and 80% for the internet. So not displaying properly on Youtube would be a chore (when plugged into an external Monitor) there isn't a sniff of such things being mentioned anywhere though even when I search - so I need to find some examples of people's practical experiences.

    ---------

    I just realised a few things so I thought I'd mention them here too, as I thought some people might want the reminder.
    The Amazon.com Jurrassic Park exclusive will go payable in around 4 weeks time, also this month is Pulse Con so if they have anything there might be a surprise expense in there. I thought the reminder is woth offering what with Wave 4 about to come out (finally) and the Hasbro Pulse things that have a dispatch date between now and the 1st November (Like Toy colour Galvatron or some Shattered Glass items) not to mention Victory Saber is a big chunk of change too. Also some of the Japanese repaints ship in the next few weeks too. & there is delayed SS items like Jolt for anyone looking for that. One can't rule out the Buzzworthy Bumblebee 4 pack showing up, maybe even a UK release for Earthrise Thrust as well.

    I know this much I won't be buying any Korean Ladybug Chibi's, Smyth Aliens and Predator toys or The Dinobot themed Cyberverse stuff in a hurry until that is all paid for, I will likely have to calm down my Videogame spending for a bit too (which means that will be the time they decide to have a sale I suppose). At the most I might get Ramjet though. I just hope that someone doesn't get a bit to excited with their winter sales to soon and make my woes even worse.

    To much is out between now and the 1st week of December I feel. Also yeah Black Zarak isn't that far off either !
    I kinda wish I could justify buying Far Cry 6 and I need a new Laptop as well. and just to make matters worse all the insurances, yearly bills and stuff go payable in the next few weeks.

    Thank goodness I have some savings I guess.

    Decent morning !

    Watched the first two episodes of What If? with the kids and we all loved it. Think I'm on the hook for the Legends figures for the series now mind.

    Faker and Man-E-Faces turned up from Amazon. Got them on a sale yesterday for £14.49 each and they're now apparantly under the ownership of my 3 year old :rolleyes: 

    Whilst they were watching Loud House or something similar, I got round to putting a set of Toyhax labels onto G2 Megs. Can't speak highly enough of these to be honest. The photos on their site just don't do it justice. Chrome effect all over his feet, "Eat this! Autobots" scrawled all over his turret, absolute banger of a set and probably the best one I've bought.

    If you see what the laptop's integrated graphics is, the chipset manufacturer should list the output resolutions. A gaming laptop will typically have an Intel chipset for non-gaming load and an Nvidia or AMD for gaming. Intel are really good at listing all the chipset specs on ark.intel.com

Though annoyingly his shoulders were totally fine until I mentioned to a friend how lucky I’d been with the plastic tolerances, then both shattered the next time I moved him…

    So I just dug him out of the repair tub to see if all the parts are still where if left them, such a cool figure and still holds up pretty well (besides the poor shoulder panels)

    I swung by the Sorting Office on my way home from seeing No Time To Die this morning and rescued my Draculus from them.

    Love him, but doubt I'll be transforming him as its all about his 'robot' mode for me.
