  • How valid of a solution this is depends entirely on whether or not you care about things like 4K, Full RGB (4:4:4), Dolby Atmos, HDR, etc. If you do, the laptop’s GPU and the TV both must support HDMI 2.1 or higher, or they won’t be able to handle the high bandwidth demands of modern home theater display formats. (You need a decent high bandwidth cable too, of course.)

    Thankfully OP might be in luck. I just looked it up and it turns out that the 3050ti does in fact support HDMI 2.1. I’m not sure if that guarantees the laptop will have a 2.1 port like with desktop GPUs but I guess the best way to find out is to just plug in a cable and see if everything works.






  • Over 70% of the country wants him gone, but from an outsider’s perspective, all they see is the fact that we voted him in.

    It’s going to take a very long time to undo the damage caused by Trump. Nobody is ever going to trust the United States again, unless we put safeguards in place to ensure that someone like him can never gain this level of unchecked power ever again. And I just don’t see that happening in any of our lifetimes.



  • Like the other person said, we have game consoles for that. That’s fine if someone wants an appliance; buy one then. I just get frustrated when those same people go ahead and buy a pre-built made with low-end parts and insufficient cooling, then when one of those parts break, they blame it on PC gaming as a whole rather than realizing it’s a result of their own incompetence. God forbid such a person runs into a minor inconvenience such as having to edit an .ini file…no, the “appliance” people should stay in their lane.
