Good morning, I am in the market for replacing my fairly generic Philips 60hz 1440p IPS office monitor that I have used since 2017, it has issues with image retention and I want to upgrade to a higher refresh rate and move to a dual monitor setup.

I am currently decided on getting one or two monitors of either of these models.

But I have a few questions...

First a bit of an unusual requirenment, I need a monitor with an audio out, I seem to have borked my onboard audio on my computer, I get nothing when connecting my amp directly to my motherboard, it worked fine for a day or two after I built the system, but when I wanted to upgrade my cable, it just never worked, for a few days I used the front headphone jack, but the cable got caught in my chair and pulled the computer case over when it was running, it also yanked one ring out of thw 3.5mm jack.

So I have no on board audio I can use, this means that I send my audio through the display port cable and out through the audio out of the monitor to my amp, this works great, but poses some questions that I will get to.

At the moment, I am looking at getting one DE and one D, connecting them with a DP cable so I can easily switch between my desktop and my work laptop.

This means that I'll mostly be relying on MST from my desktop to my secondary monitor.

I will only game on my primary monitor, the other will either be off or show my desktop/chat, how would that affect gaming?

I was out to Arlanda airport yesterday evening, and took this photo.

I did not use a tripod for this photo, nor is it in anyway edited.

Do you remember locking the door and checking it this morning?

Some told me "pics or it didn't happen", so I posted videos from the world, that got some attention, and here I am, posting the entire 3GB world to the public for anyone to download and try:

Some may recognize it from a map posted to /r/minecraft years ago, that was also me.

The first few weeks/months I set the difficulty to peaceful survival, but after hgaving lost my bed and dying only to respawn far away from the base, I recovered a shadow copy backup and cheated into creative mode, a few years later after being annoyed, I removed bats and clouds from the world so I could focus on building stuff.

I never used any mods to enable me building faster or easier, apart from the above mentioned cheats this is vanilla minecraft, every block built in the last decade has been placed manually, every hole dug has been dug either manually or with TNT, often rigged to be synced with redstone if blasting horizontal.

To see what I probably think is the most impressing stuff, find Plattform 7 at the huge trainstation and follow the tracks.

BTW, the brick church is ginormous, go downstairs, and have a notebook to draw a map handy, it is a bizzare librarynth down there, and even I can't remember the way through.

The main runway is mined.

Look outside the wall(s)

During several years it was the main game I played, and I played it for hours every day.

I have recovered the map from backups when it developed save errors, I have recovered the map from a hard drive that was about to crash, and I have done some normal migrations between computers.

Most of the time spent in the map was spent in creative mode, all of the time spent has been spent playing without mods.

The map has it all:

1. Weird towers, many weird towers.
2. Railroads, many railroads, soo many railroads, I am not kidding, there is a huge ammount of railroads, it is frankly ridiculous how many railroads I have built.
3. Weird religious buildings, from classic chruches, to many, many strange halls dedicated to religious or cult iconography.
4. A huge, confusing, underground maze of libraries.
5. Huge geometrical structures that just keeps going.
6. A lot of odd glass and light sculptures.
7. Hugely long but super narrow buildings that just goes on and on and on.

So my question is, if anyone would like to get a copy of this world and see what my mind has built over almost a decade.

I mean the physical design of the gun, not the projectile or effect.

I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.
