    Monitors Ultra Wide? Yes or No

    When buying a new monitor today, does it make sense to migrate to UW 21:9 or is it better to stick to 16:9? Talking strictly about 2k resolutions here i.e. 2560x1080. The GPUs required to power 21:9 at 4k are out of my reach. My usage will be limited to games and movies. And the way things are...

    What speeds are you seeing on Jio?

    I use Jio 4G as my primary ISP (yea Internet services are that bad in my area). Don't have any major complaints since I don't go overboard with my downloads. But reading about the speeds other people are getting (~30mbps) made me sit up and take notice. I rarely get over 8mbps and that is after...

    JioFi 2, 3 or 4?

    I got a Jio Prime connection for use with my desktop PC and was wondering which JioFi device to buy, 2, 3 or 4? Reports say JioFi 2 gives significantly better speeds and for that reason JioFi 3 has been retracted. And I didn't even know JioFi 4 existed until recently. Also since I will be using...

    Monitors Need Dell monitor service center info

    My 2 year old Dell S2240L suddenly started outputting interlaced display on the right side of the screen. It's a smooth gradual change from right (interlaced) to left (perfect). According to random info from the web, it could be a static build up issue. Any input on how to discharge it? More...

    CPU/Mobo Intel DH67BL + G.Skill Ripjaws X 4GB DDR3-1600

    Got (2 x) G.Skill Ripjaws X 4GB DDR3-1600 modules to compliment my old (1 x) Corsair Value 4GB DDR3-1333. But can't seem to get display with the newer G.Skill modules. I know my mobo doesn't support DDR3-1600 but it should atleast run the rams at 1333MHz. What do I do now?

    FS: Video Card Sapphire R7 250X 1GB DDR5 (HD7770)

    Selling my 2 year old Sapphire R7 250X 1GB DDR5. This card was basically a re-designed HD7770, as such it is slightly faster a runs a lot cooler. I would list the condition as 5/5 but there's some inevitable dirt build up in the deeper nooks, hence 4/5. Otherwise it's in pristine condition...

    Budget 31-40k Laptop for very light gaming.

    So I am pretty clueless when it comes to laptops. Screensize and HD space aren't important as it will mostly be used for surfing. The only games I play are Dota2 and Diablo 3, so those two should run well. Other than that, no special requirements. Budget is around 35k. Thanks.

    Path of Exile (the true Diablo 2 successor?)

    It's also f2p which I didn't put in the title because of the general attitude people have towards f2p games. PoE is more in line with TF2 and Dota2 than the usual run-of-the-mill Chinese f2p crap. Path of Exile The open beta went live today so I expect the game won't be perfectly...

    Monitors Which 20" glossy monitor?

    I was all set to buy a Dell IN2030M matte screen but then I realized that glossy screens output a more crisp image with better contrasts. So now I am back to square one and need help zeroing in on a 20" non-matte screen. My budget is around 6-7k. Btw I am aware that 22"s don't cost a lot...

    Need new CPU/RAM/Mobo for gaming. Maybe a new monitor too.

    My current motherboard is dead and it's time again for an upgrade. Aside from this, I might also be getting a new monitor. I really want a 20" as I am not comfortable using 22" and above. But I may cave in if someone makes a good enough case (gaming at slightly higher resolutions not being it...

    The scam that is Maggi Double Masala

    Maggi (the classic one) is pretty much a staple diet of mine and I like to consider myself a Maggi connoisseur :P. Now recently something started feeling a bit off. The taste was significantly mellowed out like when you put in a bit much water. And it wasn't a one time thing, this happened...

    PC Peripherals Need a new ambidextrous gaming mouse

    Hello folks :). I need a new gaming mouse. Now my idea of a gaming mouse is anything that doesn't skip :P. So it can be cheap mice too as long as they do not skip and are ambidextrous (or made for left-handed people like some Razer mice are). Everyone I asked recommended the Razer DA...

    For heavy casual use :P, and some gaming. Must: -Be ambidextrous, since I am left-handed. -NOT crop up the double-click issue that plagues almost every half-decent mouse today.
