This is pretty daunting for TV shoppers.

In entry lvl LCDs which are advertised as Quantum dot, they have used different arrangements of 1 to 2 dots of the 3 NOT being QD.

For example, Tcl's new qm6k, it doesn't have a QD red, it's KSF red.

Kind of a big deal. Notice the drop in color purity in the second image.

My PSU burned out last night, apparently. Tower PC won't power on today, hopefully it didn't fry anything else.
It's an excuse to upgrade my PSU and case I suppose. More **** I need, but cannot really afford at the moment  :(

Get a good one or the Gpu coil whine will be bad.

Well, shiver me daisies. My ***** is fried.
PSU did something uncalled for and burnt out the mobo on my main rig in some sick suicide pact. I seriously cannot afford an  all-new PC now, so I may as damn well get a new mobo, alongside a psu (maybe some other sweet **** too). CPU, GPU, RAM all seem fine (at least they are recognized working in a system that cannot run them)
Man life is relentless. I thought I had myself a workhorse. Been good to me for 13 years, yessir.
but SHE CAN BE REBUILT... STRONGER, AND (ever-so) slightly FASTER THAN BEFORE!

I will make her whole again. Better even!
