From the reading I've done and the people I've asked (Hazaro from the PC gaming thread) 4K gaming isn't worth it.
I got this on sale yesterday:
http://m.ncix.com/products/sku/100910/1049
250 off the regular price, but it looks like it went back up. From what I've read, nothing runs 4K that great and I believe all the 4k monitors are 60hz, so it doesn't seem worth it at this point unless you're just getting an actual 4K TV that is going to double for TV watching.
The next thing I'm looking at now is an actual PC that can take advantage of the monitor...

Nice. It's more or less the same with the 10 bucks off since ncix had free shipping for it.
Ahdurian, here's your chance...!!!
thinking about it, but i ended up getting an ASUS one for the time being, which I got for about 399.99. i wanted to test how the PS4Pro runs on it mainly. didn't want to buy a 4k tv since they're basically double hte price of a monitor.
this one can double for my PS4 and PC for now.
i have at least 14 days to test this out and decide if i want to keep it so we'll see

I gotta figure something out with these monitors...I'm going to have two lying around very soon in addition to two desktops and several old laptops... :/
Edit: also send me an invite for OW some time. Don't worry, I'll only attack torb is we're down by two.
It's pretty chill but not bad. Heating isn't on so I'm just bearing with whatever happens.
What would those two other monitors be? I'm interested in getting a second monitor at some point for my PC and consoles.

ROFL I've never seen this before.
I wonder if the $25 off from masterpass will work on this monitor.

Random question, but does anyone know where I might try looking for old Sony professional or broadcast video monitors? I just got back into PS2 and PS1 stuff and these monitors are highly sought after but hard to find. I figure TO must have some of these kicking around from TV and film production here in the city.
They pop up on Kijiji and are quickly sold for ridiculous prices now.

You have an example of what these monitors are or look like?
Damn...I forget I don't have a CRT monitor anymore yet I still have the old PS consoles kicking around...
In unrelated news, I've finally done buying a new gaming rig; I got a 144hz g sync monitor and a 1080 gtx core i7 desktop for under 3000 including all taxes and shipping.
They look like this (the smaller ones usually have a rack mount):
and have BNC connectors on the back like this:
Those connectors are RGB (not to be confused with component which are YPbPr).
There's a 13" one being sold on eBay, with free shipping from QC right now for 270. Don't know if that's a good deal or not. It's a PVM-1340.

I don't think the Markham location is as good as the downtown ones although I did go during the initial opening period where it was insanely packed.
I've only been to the two downtown and way prefer the Yonge St location over Dundas. Been to both at least 5, or 6 times, so no small sampling. Yonge St is rarely as busy and everything from portions of meat to the broth, seem better to me.
Haha I'm at the one near Y&D Square one now.
I've been to both that one and the one a bit farther up Yonge. I don't get the hype.
It's very good but I still love Kinton the most. What's your favourite in Toronto?

Which ramen place is better in your mind? One in Vancouver?
Wait wait, I thought you said you loved Sansotei. Now I'm confused....
I do like Sansotei. I think it's very good. But Kinton was my first TO ramen experience and I fell in love with it. Also, their karaage is da bessst in the city.

I saw Tampopo at the Lightbox last week and they gave me a coupon for Kinton. I've never been to that one, actually. What's the best location? Anyone check out that new one on Church St (asking since it's the closest to me)?

I don't know....call me crazy but I found Hakata Shoryuken ramen to be better than kinton....
Junior Mint

Yeah. I agree. I prefer cha shu that's fatty and thick... don't really like the thin burnt looking pieces at Sansotei.
That's funny because it was insanely packed today and we had to go somewhere else or we were going to miss our movie D:
well I'll try again some other time I guess
I'm actually not the best person to ask because I'm just not that into ramen overall.
maybe that's why i don't get the hype lol
I'm just there for the big fatty pieces of pork belly but you only ever get like a couple of slices.
Greetings Toronto GAF! I just landed a job in Downtown Toronto near Union station starting mid January. I'm gonna be moving in with some family in Brampton from Ottawa for the first month or two. I wonder if any of you guys know about any places I can check for Brampton car pool services? I wonder if there is some kind of forum or classifieds people in Brampton post some kind of rideshares going to the GO Train station every morning. If I can set something up I can shave off 30 minutes from my daily commute if I have to rely on the public transportation.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

How can a Generic Asian not be into ramen? D:
Burnt = bad
Blowtorched = good
right?
..............right.........?!
:/ I don't have much to add. If you're a dev, maybe you can try to work from home as much as you can. It's going to be a loooong commute...
