IT Tips

A high refresh rate monitor alone will not suffice when it comes to a cinematic experience. You need the right hardware - a reasonably fast CPU and GPU combination to churn out high frame rates. A 144 Hz display, for instance, will display a 60 FPS game just fine, but it needs a 144 FPS video signal to achieve its full potential. Anything less and you’ll miss out on the visual detail. When choosing a gaming laptop, make sure you consider the processor and graphics card specs too. They both need to support your monitor’s maximum refresh rate. You should also ensure you have sufficient RAM available for a jitter-free gaming experience. 

Thunderbolt is a hardware interface, which has been around since 2011. A Thunderbolt-certified device combines data, video, and power signals into a single port or cable for unparalleled versatility. Thunderbolt 4 is the latest generation, announced in 2020, which lets you connect up to five devices on a single connection. This interface also allows you to connect all Thunderbolt-compatible and USB devices without worrying about interoperability issues. You can charge your laptop in minutes, connect an SSD (solid-state drive) for fast file transfers, or enjoy immersive visuals in jaw-dropping 8K quality. Thunderbolt 4 redefines the peripheral interface experience. It’s a perfect and nimble setup for video, gaming, and streaming professionals who need a clutter-free workspace without compromising on performance. 

When it comes to using some of the more robust photo editing tools out there, such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, the right desktop PC makes all the difference. You can technically get away with the bare minimum specs shown on the product description for the photo editing tool of your choice. But if you use the lowest processing power or graphics, you can waste a lot of time waiting for your photos to load and renders to complete.

Unlike traditional printers that pass the paper over movable printheads, HP PageWide printheads are stationary. The paper goes under the actually page-wide, immovable printhead, at an incredible speed, while thousands of tiny ink nozzles apply the HP Thermal InkJet color. In fact, there are 6 chips per printhead, each containing more than 6,000 nozzles. That means each printer has more than 25,000 nozzles, which helps to deliver a quick print with no reduction in quality. The ink itself must be placed at exactly the right point and at the right time to create a proper print. This accuracy is driven by the way the paper is transported through the printer, as well as how individual sensors tell the printer to release each drop of ink.

An in-plane switching (IPS) monitor is a type of LCD (liquid-crystal display) monitor. It’s made up of backlighting or a mirror behind a polarizer. These sit behind the liquid with crystals mixed into it. The monitor relies on perfect alignment of the liquid crystals to pass along the light to the next polarizer. These crystals spin into position when electrically charged. In front of all of this is another polarizer, with the whole thing covered in the protective glass "screen" that we see with our eyes or touch, if it's a touch screen product. IPS is the standard for high-end monitors, such as those in some touch screen displays.
