Oh okay 
Looks fantastic , is the TV wall mounted or sitting on its stand?
How long have you used a gaming laptop for? I have a very old PC and I am ready to get a new machine. However I travel a lot so a laptop would be ideal but they cost more and are impossible to upgrade. Im also looking at those intel mini PCs!
While the OLED TV I had suffered burn-in, which is why I got rid of it, it was a 2016 model which was prone to burn-in. Newer models, like the Sony A80J I use to watch TV for movies and streaming services, are much less prone to burn-in, even for use as a PC monitor. It was the other benefits of LED that I mentioned (brighter, more consistent brightness with varying content, no auto screen dimming) that make an LED better for a PC monitor and is why I am not using my A80J for that purpose, despite its wonderful blacks!
I have always had top-of-the-line gaming laptops from Alienware. I upgrade every 7-10 years. Being top-of-the-line at the time of purchase they future-proof themselves and there’s no need to upgrade. They easily last 7-10 years. At which point, I use the old laptop at work and buy another latest top-of-the-line one.
If you calculate the price compared to portability and a calibrated monitor, they are always worth it.
And they are beautiful.
Those are good points and good advice. Better to go all out and get the most powerful unit so it goes a long way. How has reliability been on the Alienware laptops?
Ohh I see… hahah, I thought that picture is how you play the game. Since I usually have my laptop in front of me for my charts, and stuff (my TV is connected to a separate PC with MSFS, so it’s not like the Laptop itself is running msfs).
Never had a single issue or a single hardware failure. Alienware builds them like a tank. They are exquisite and very reliable.
I play games, edit videos and photos and I have never had any issues in the last 13 years.
I use a tab and phone for charts and other flight data. I connect the laptop with that monstrous TV only to play games.
Wow… I’m more amazed how you’ve been using the same Alienware laptop for 13 years… I like alienware builds too. But I don’t like their prices, and their design. It’s too “gamer-y” for me. I prefer a more minimalistic and elegant laptop design like Dell XPS, or the HP Spectre. Although HP laptop has atrocious reliability. But I’m getting off-topic now.
I’m not using the same Alienware laptop for 13 years. What I wrote was: i have been using Alienware laptops for 13 years without any problem.
I usually buy an Alienware laptop every 7-10 years.
I’ll buy the next one in a couple of years. Waiting for a major update in hardware by 2025.
