Yeah, mostly just want the ultrawide for work. Don’t game super frequently, but don’t want it to be a blurry mess when I do

I hate the “5K2K” nomenclature. Why not just ultrawide 2160p.

Does look like a nice monitor though.

Anyone have any experience with the ExpertBook line? I’ve only ever heard recs for Lenovo’s and HP’s business lines.

So Intel is following AMD now with a super confusing naming scheme?

I’m surprised Microsoft ranked so low. They’ve really been pushing repairability in their recent models

Curious how the “VA smear” is on this. Good enough for productivity use?

One thing Jellyfin is way better at is offline viewing. I have frequent internet outages at my house and I’ve run into issues multiple times where Plex wouldn’t stream my own local media because it couldn’t connect to the internet. For this, Jellyfin has always just worked.

Easiest way to tell is to transcode something and see if your CPU spikes. If it’s offloaded to the GPU it shouldn’t.

Also make sure you have it configured correctly. On your Admin Dashboard under Playback > Transcoding, check that Intel QuickSync (QSV) is selected.

I have an N100 (Intel 12th gen) so I think your settings should be similar. For mine I have pretty much everything checked except for VP8, the two HEVC RExt options, and “Allow encoding in AV1 format”

This seems like something that should be kept local. What’s the point of all these NPUs otherwise

I used to have similar issues, was due to my PC not being able to handle the transcoding. Enabling hardware acceleration with the correct settings fixed it for me.
