    I’ve looked around but just haven’t found many viable options for some I know that Alienware made one awhile back but no longer do it looks like the poster that replied to you on this comment though found a pretty sweet deal which is awesome. Just smaller than what I would be wanting.

    I want one that’s like 55"- 65" 120hz and has a display port and I haven’t been able to find a single one they’re all TVs full of spyware and no displayport options. (I have my current tv blocked on the router level from the internet)

    I’d even just settle for a smart tv as long as it just had a display port. I might just have to switch to a monitor soon to get the most of my system. I would no joke be willing to save up and pay around 3K for a 55" to 65" monitor with 120hz and a displayport with no internet access. But they just don’t seem to exist from what I’ve seen.

    When I was in an area that only had Spectrum and was forced to use them I was appalled at how awful the service actually was.

    No exaggeration the internet went out for around 6 to 8 hours on a random day of the month EVERY single month often times twice a month. Every. Single. Month. That I had them. And I had them for right at 3 years! My internet now only goes out if the power goes out and then comes right back on.

    It was also ridiculous quality I pay $40/month for the same speeds I was getting with their $100/month plan. Granted, I use fiber now but still how in the hell was that even ok I actually don’t understand how they stay in business like that. Like I pay less than half for the same speeds with ZERO downtime.

    Anyway after I switched they bombarded me with calls and physical mail. I mean dude they would call at like 8 am trying to sell me internet or phone or whatever. 8 am is insane for a cold call and it seemed like it would always be on the one day I had off that week.

    I finally called them and told them that according to the law (TCPA) if they continue to call I will file a complaint and they will be fined $500 per call. And just like that all the calls stopped. I had to actually make an entirely new email to get the emails to stop though I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen the exact screen you posted.

    Also when I returned the router the “computers were down” and they had to hand write me a receipt for it and then months later seriously like 3 or 4 months after that they tried to say I didn’t return it. Luckily I kept that piece of paper but imagine if I hadn’t. I wonder how many people they hustle out of money that way.

    Anyway, that’s my rant. Good luck to you and sorry you have to deal with Spectrum!

    Edit: Just now saw the answer in your comment above that’s a huge bummer damn the HDMI Forum but thank you so much for the answer!

    I havent seen a setting for it but on this tv if you hold down the play button it opens a game mode taskbar that says the resolution if HDR is enabled and if VRR is on or off.

    On PS you can set the settings on the playstation itself to automatically use VRR when available so when I’m not running a game it says VRR off on that game mode bar that the tv pulls up but when I start a game it automatically switches it on and says VRR On on the game mode taskbar.
