Gaming

Fletcher is using an old copy of Xenix on a computer in Virtual Machine and it's asking him questions about his MFN hard drive he can't answer: like cylinders and such. Leo suspects 124 cylinders, 255 heads, also a scuzzy drive.

Steven recently picked up an XBox X for gaming. He wants to play Fortnight in 4K at 120hz. What's a good TV for that? Leo says the TCL 6 Series is a good choice. Scott says that the HiSense H series will also give you a lot of bang for your buck. LG uses HDMI 2.1, which will future proof your gaming experience. So that may be a better choice. The downside is, most of LG's budget LCD TVs aren't that great. Get the OLED if you can afford it. The 65" LG OLED CX is around $1900 on Amazon. Nice TV.

Paul was forced to update to Windows 10 2004, he is having issues playing games. Leo says 2004 has been messing up a lot of installs and he suspects it likely messed up the video card driver. Try rebooting into safe mode and see if the game will run. If you can see the video, then it's definitely the video driver. Leo also recommends manually changing the drivers itself. You can go to your video card manufacturer website and download and install the latest driver for that card. There's also a reference driver, and a Microsoft certified driver. Try all three.

Kyle is building a gaming computer and wants a decent budget system. Leo says the real key is the video performance. He'll want it to be smooth. So Frame Rate is key. Here's the thing. Building a computer doesn't give that much advantage anymore. He's not going to save money. The real benefit is learning how a computer works. But he'll be his own support because who does one call if there's a problem? Each part supplier will pass the buck.
