I’m totally upgrading, right after I’m done with the thing I’m doing right now…

[–] seaQueue 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll upgrade as soon as I'm done working on this side project...

[–] FlashZordon 63 points 1 year ago (5 children)

AD1440p is sufficient for the foreseeable future.

[–] MrMonkey 7 points 1 year ago

AD2K you mean?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And more importantly helps prevent straining your brain with too many pixels for minimal tangible benefit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, until I get a hardware upgrade I would lose too many frames to run at that resolution

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

On a 4k screen just use some upscaler. The difference between native 4k and upscaled is in my experience imperceivable.

My ADHDMI Port only supports standard 1.0, on a good day.

[–] seaQueue 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm lucky if I can handle ADSD most days, HD or greater is right out.

So do you have ADSD, AD800x600, or AD1024x768?

I don't know what a HD is, but my doctor says I uave 80 of them.

In that case, I have ADSQCIF

Why would I want to watch ads, even if they are 4K?

[–] FlyingSquid 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know about AD4K, but I was in the hospital for a diagnostic a couple of days ago, and they were still using VGA monitors, which didn't make me feel especially confident since my diagnostic involved technology.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Lots of businesses at least in my area still use VGA. And they connect them to their computers with DisplayPort adapters.

[–] FlyingSquid 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

These were definitely VGA monitors. I saw them from the back.

EDIT: Sorry, misunderstood what you were saying.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The medical industry as a whole is staggeringly slow to replace anything technology. I'm a bit surprised at something as simple as what type of connector they're using for their monitor, but not jaw-droppingly slow.

[–] Zangoose 6 points 1 year ago

I use an old VGA monitor with my modern desktop that I found in my school's recycling bins. I only use it as a second monitor but I can confirm VGA monitors are still fine for displaying simple text/monitoring software. No point in throwing it out if it works and isn't a security risk.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Jeez what's the hurry, we haven't even gotten to ADFullHD or ADQHD yet

[–] PunnyName 5 points 1 year ago

I'm thinking that ADBlu-ray looks promising.

Every time I see you commenting somewhere I think "oh cool, a new emoji!" and then remember it's just your profile pic. :(

I run in AD4K most of the time, but in the most demanding games, it's too detrimental to my ADFPS

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If I wanna run at atleast 60fps the best I can do is 1440p

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which is best resolution. You can take my 144fps 1440p freesync monitor from my cold dead hands in about 50-60 years I hope.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will one day have the specs to match my 144hz with 144fps

Now listen here you little shit

[–] jandar_fett 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

AD4K? Brain still using LCD tech. Refresh rate is trash.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have a 4k60 LCD monitor, which is fine, right? It's not 144, but good enough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Typically one chooses/compromises between high resolution and high frame rate. 4k60 is one way to go.

Vyvanse.

The reason it isn't upgrading is Vyvanse.

If the shortage hits me, then I fear the upgrade will be me, sitting at work, staring at the "Updating your device. This make take several minutes" screen for 3 days.

[–] PunnyName 9 points 1 year ago

You guys are getting ADHD meds?

[–] ItsMeForRealNow 6 points 1 year ago

Concerta for me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I keep getting distracted and forgetting to upgrade.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I've already upgraded to ADQHD, but I still have my old ADSXGA monitor as a secondary display (I fear it's already dying).

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Well ya see, my software can only handle so much pixels

[–] Taniwha420 6 points 1 year ago

Shit. You just reminded me I was supposed to do that last week.
