Nice!! A few days ago (on my birthday iirc? I think it was the day after) I got to take this dope monitor off of my grandpa's hands.

You can even rotate it vertically like this!
Plus it even has FOUR USB PORTS!

This is probably the best monitor I've ever seen. Plus, it's a dell just like yours!

Windows should tell you with the monitors edid data reporting to windows.

Blur busters? Windows should also tell you the max refresh rate your display is capable of without blur busters. Just don't do what lots of people do and forget to set the refresh rate. There's some people that spend extra money on high refresh rate and have it on 60hz for years without realizing it.

it appears to be this https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/del...-awmd/monitors-monitor-accessories#mgal-img-2
(looks like I got the refresh rate slightly wrong, it's actually 144hz)

Gpu driver software or windows with newer monitors will default to its max refresh rate sometimes.

Or sometimes it defaults to 60hz and you have to manually set it either in your gpu driver software or through windows display settings.

The jump in smoothness, input responsiveness and image clarity from 60 to 144 is pretty large.

    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
