Anyone here have experience with dual screen PC setups?  I'm looking to replace my monitor I hook up to my Surface Pro with a monitor that I can use my surface pen on and I have found one that refreshes at 75hz.  My Surface Pro is set to refesh at 60hz.  Can a higher refresh monitor render at a lower refresh, or does it then simply add duplicate frames?  Put more clearly, can a 75hz monitor run at 60Hz, or can it only run at 75Hz?

Most monitors support multiple refresh rates, and 60Hz is a very common standard. You can usually change the refresh rate in the Windows display setting (but most monitors just pick up the change natively and you don't have to do anything.

I'll give it a go this weekend, it's been a while.

I still play Pinball for the Atari 2600 several times a year.

I didn't get into Video Pinball all that much, probably because I had Midnight Magic first. I should give both a go tonight.

Man, the Windwaker's camera and controls are rough.

Windwaker HD's camera was great. I can't recall how it was on the GCN.

Not good. Would love to play the hd version. I was much more forgiving back then.

One of the worst things about that gen was not being able to change x and y camera settings on games.

So now that Microsoft is porting games to Sony and maybe Nintendo platforms, as well as PC.


And Sony appears to be readying to put games on every platform.


Is anyone now considering being a single platform owner?


How many peeps here had an Xb1 and a PS4?


How many have a PS5 and an Xbox Series console?


If you did are you considering not doing that anymore?


Side question, which Sony or Microsoft games would you like to be ported elsewhere?

This is more of a forum topic worthy question.

I had a XB1 and PS4 and that's the last time I'll have systems from both.  If the current gen XB had true 100% backward compatibility for XBOriginal and 360 I'd have bought two of them by now. But they fucked that up.  And I've held of on PS5 because Sony has apparently euthanised their development studios. MS has more hits on PS than Sony at this time.

This job posting is not an indication that Sony is going multiplat for their exclusives. They are a electronics manufacturer. Sony games will launch on Sony electronics and then when it makes sense launch on any platform that makes sense.  At some point we will see Last of Us on Switch 2, I guarantee it. But the next release will stay on Sony first for a long time, then eventualy come to PC (and XB if there are any more XB) and then finally to Nintendo (Nintendo will always be last because they don't want to erode JP market for their PS hardware sales).

No one replies in the forum most of the time.


Don't PC owners already get the majority of Xbox content and a smattering of Sony content?

Yes, but Sony comes really late currently.

That's why I am predominatly PC these days. Steamdeck makes it easier.

I’ll probably always get the three main consoles myself. I have collections of hundreds of games for Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo libraries. As long as they maintain the current backwards compatibility support then I’ll have an interest in getting the newest systems for that alone.

I've owned only Nintendo games consoles for nearly 40 years.  I bought an Xbone last gen, but found that I hardly gamed on it despite there being a number of games that interested me.  I guess the comfort of small scale gaming the Switch introduced turned me off from the Xbone.  I've hardly played on the telly since getting the Switch on launch 8 years ago.  The Xbone just became our Netflix box.

So yeah, nothing much changes for me    I don't have the time for multiple consoles and as such can't justify the cost of entry into their libraries.  I also don't care for sports games, or for games that use violence against realistic humans.  I couldn't even play Superhot VR.  So yeah, I don't feel I'm missing out on much, although there are some PS exclusives I'd like to play.
