    Apple announces new Mac Pro with a $5K monitor and a $1K monitor stand

    For those complaining about the monitor, it's meant to compete with these: Pro Monitors ~$15,000-$25,000 monitors. $1k for a stand sounds stupid, but the production industry also overpays for everything, just look at the Red store: RED Digital Cinema | 8K & 5K Professional Cameras The...

    Got me. Also, snarkiness aside, the Stadia website only says "up to 1080p". It doesn't mention "FHD" at all. Maybe it supports your Ultrawide monitor, but I'd expect it to mean 1920x1080 which is the standard.

    1920 x 1080 per their website. do you know how to use the internet for anything but foh.com? Read the shit, I'm not the devs and I havent used the service. Literally just read their tech specs and figure it out. It's not hard. Here's the link for the 3rd time: www.stadia.com simple

    FHD is 1920x1080. Google clearly states they stream at 1080p, or 720p, or 4K. I don't know how you're so confused.

    This makes no sense. 1080p is normally 1920x1080 / 16:9 aspect ratio You're running an Ultrawide TV which has a 21:9 aspect ratio. It's still 1080p. The p = progressive instead of interlaced. Progressive simply means you receive FULL frames, not interlaced frames. The alternative is 1080i...

    I'm not a Google fanboy, their culture is shit and their CEO is smarmy. But they do have a decent track record with some long-shots. Gmail, Google Docs, Android... could have been perceived as long shots in very competitive fields, yet they've been able to steal a lot of market share and...

    We'll see how it works out but Stadia is claiming to be streamable on anything too. So maybe I'll get to play some of these PC games on my phone or tablet, and it'll probably only need the 720p res at those small screen sizes. Seems decent to take on vacations/traveling. I'm in a situation...

    I hear his point, but not every family is 4 people utilizing max bandwidth all the time. If you're streaming netflix on 4 different devices all the time, you'll eat up the TB just as fast. If 1 of those users decides to play Stadia instead of watch Netflix, it's not going to impact the avg...

    Then buy unlimited if your family demands it. Most people probably won't be playing Stadia games for over 50 hours a month let alone 100. ~2hr game session * 30 days = 60 hrs monthly. Most "gamers" will still use PC/Console for games, especially competitive. Stadia (right now) is going to be...

    You guys are really hung up on 4K streaming. I don't even stream 4K television. 4K isn't for most people right now. That same article that was linked even says 4K doesn't offer much benefit over 1080. And at 1080 you can stream over 113 hours to = 1 TB, which should be enough for your average...

    The Y Axis is in Feet? LOL. Chart seems very skewed toward higher res. Basically anything above 60" at a reasonable viewing distance (10-20') is suggesting 8K+ Res.

    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    I'd probably play at 1080 by default (for bandwidth) unless the game warranted higher. Cartoony/stylized games really don't need 4K. And any top-down type game where you can't view the characters in much detail, also don't need 4K. 4K is great for realism & scenery, not every game has that.

    I know everyone wants the top tier resolutions but 1080 is still perfectly fine in most cases and is what you're seeing on most broadcast TV anyways... and even though not the best, your 4k TVs will still upscale

    I don't see why buying the game wouldn't entitle you to the downloadable copy for PC or console but I guess we'll see. Atm I just see it as mostly a chromecast upgrade and $60 to try out the new tech. I was seriously looking to get a new chromecast so it's a no brainer for me

    You don't need to pay $130. And yea, you're apparently missing a lot. Including the part where you can just outright buy games and not pay a sub at all. Goto the website and it's toward the bottom. Www.stadia.com

    Which is why I got it because I've been meaning to get a new Chromecast anyways and the controller will be nice to have. There isn't any crazy markup on the sub, seems like it was thrown in for free. I'm down with that. If this was $200 I would have passed easily.

    Fastest purchase I ever made. The price seems great. Stadia Founder's Edition $130 for the Founders, I was expecting it to be much higher. I wasn't intending to buy it but getting the $70 Chromecast Ultra sold me. Plus the $60 Controller and 3 Month sub to play seems good to me. I will probably...

    Seems like this is targeting people that don't want to fork over $100s for the latest console or PC upgrades, so $10/mth seems reasonable in that regard, but if you already own a Console and/or PC then it's definitely not worth.

    Onward (2020)

    Looks good. As a whole, I've been rating Pixar movies a bit lower than average, they are either too artsy or feelsy and lack fun factor. This movie seems to have that comedic/fun factor they often miss. Helps to have a good duo behind the main characters. Starlord and Spiderman sounds fun.

    I did finish up this movie and I agree the 3rd act was very lackluster. I thought the first 120mins was pretty decent but then it fell flat. Especially the girl power song felt very out of place. Jafar wasn't menacing enough and his 3rd wish didn't seem as believable as the animated version...

    Depends on how the game devs set it up. They may do all transactions with 1 store, or they could allow any. Same with launching the game, you may not even need to store open if the game allows it, like single payer games that don't need internet, but again, it's on the devs how they set it up.
