@BGDave Год назад

The laptop I showcased is known as the Acer nitro 5. My model in particular has the i5 9300h and the GTX 1650 with 16gb of ram. My microphone is not edited after the fact to sound better, however I do have filters applied inside of OBS itself to cut out my keyboard and any breathing that it would usually pick up.

@LumeOmega 2 года назад

My one question is, what and or how can you use a headphone/earphone on the external monitor? Or can you just connect the said product (headphone/earphone) to your laptop and just use it as usual?

@BGDave 2 года назад

You can connect your headphones to your laptop and use it as usual, or assuming you're using HDMI (hdmi carries audio as well as video) you can plug them into the headphone jack on your monitor and select your monitor as your output and the sound will go through your headphones. I did try this, but the sound card built into my monitor is pretty bad and left me without any bass, and using the sound card built into my laptop.

@Guythatsometimescomments Год назад

Can you still use the monitor while the laptop is closed? I want to connect a gaming laptop to an external monitor, but have limited space so keeping the laptop closed and tucked away would be ideal. If so, would it essentially operate the same as a PC tower? Meaning when it's asleep, I just sit down and shake the mouse or press a key to wake it up? Maybe a better way to frame the question is -- how does the overall experience change from laptop+external monitor vs having a traditional tower with a monitor? I wouldn't want to fuss around each time I sit down to my computer. Make sense?

@wooshmeifgae1694 Год назад

I have seen people use 2 external monitors with their laptop is closed. While it should work, you may lose performance from both the heat damaging the screen and the laptop boosts lower. Not to mention, you benefit from it being open as you basically have that extra screen

Would i be able to play lightweight games like csgo on an external monitor without any input lag , using hdmi only ?? .. i mean would it be as responsive as playing on the stock screen ??

@BGDave 4 месяца назад

Hdmi is a great input choice that gets a bad wrap online. Hdmi is just as capable of DisplayPort, as long as you're not attempting to use GSync. In many cases it might actually be more responsive if your external panel is a higher refresh rate than your laptop.

@BGDave 2 года назад

The laptop's internal display refresh rate does not limit what you can do for an external monitor. The limiting factor of an external monitor is the port that the laptop has, and since you have the same laptop as I do, your port is an HDMI 2.0 port, which will allow you to connect up to a 1080p 240hz monitor, and take complete advantage of those 240hz.

you'll still be able to use the laptop screen. You can either duplicate it with your external monitor, or extend it which will allow you to use the 2 displays individually. While extending your display, you will see a little bit of performance drop due to the 2nd display being active, but nothing to worry about.

@@Avubus if your laptop supports 240hz and 2-4K resolution yes it will work

@BGDave 2 года назад

If it is a thunderbolt 3 with an HDMI 2.0 port you can only get up to 1080p 240hz 2k 144hz, and 4k 60hz. If it is a thunderbolt 4 with an hdmi 2.1 then you can get up to 4k240.

@Ic3hector Год назад

Yo bro I need advice I got a new 144 hz monitor but my laptop stopped being able to connect to monitors for some reason and I tried everything to fix it anything you suggest?

@BGDave Год назад

If it is still happening I would recommend DDUing your drivers, or completely reinstall g windows. This should fix the issue. If these don’t fix it it is a hardware issue and needs to be sent back to the manufacturer for repair.

Check your physx config. Your monitor might be connecting to the igpu (integrated gpu) and not the dgpu (dedicated gpu)

I have a asus tuf f15 and it supports thundrrbolt4 so which display port should i use please suggest

@BGDave Год назад

It all depends on the resolution and refresh rate that you're targeting. I personally use DisplayPort 1.4 and get 1080p 240hz. 1.4 Maxes out at 4k 120hz. If you're after anything higher than that you will want to look into DP 2.0 or newer.

@pajo5014 Месяц назад

I only want an external monitor because of Adaptive sync - matches fps and refresh rate. Because my laptop doesnt reach with fps up to my refresh rate so its not smooth.. Will HDMI 2.0 GTX 1650 card able to turn on Adaptive sync?

There are no dumb or "noob" questions. Everybody with technological knowledge was all in that same position at some point. Thunderbolt 4.0 should support up to 4k 240hz :)

@BGDave Год назад

Assuming the laptop has an Intel CPU and even an AMD CPU, in most cases the external monitor port will be set to the gpu, so therefore the laptop does it automatically.

Your laptop will plug up directly to the monitor and work as intended and properly. I would recommend at least matching your laptop’s refresh rate at 144hz, though 165 or 240hz is also an option. 60hz would be a worse experience.
