As for those not wanting Win10, just like windows 8.1 it is faster and more stable than the earlier OS versions but takes a bit of work to remove the crap part of it. The worst part about it is not the privacy aspect as that is easily fixed. The worst part about Win10 OS is that it will force restart its self to install updates. This does not happen as often as it used to since MS has moved to a Monthly patch install schedule instead of nearly weekly.

Since people have been bringing up Monitors. I have a decent little 22" 1080p IPS. I want to upgrade to a QHD but am waiting for an OLED(maybe IPS) QHD with HDR and GSync before I upgrade my monitor. HDR is just starting in the PC world so it'll probably be more than a year before I upgrade my Monitor.

I hope you're fine with an IPS display, because it will take quite a few years before we get OLED monitors (big problems with burn-in).

Also, be careful. Most monitors aren't HDR10 compliant, despite offering some sort of HDR.

Yeah I know...  (solemlny shakes head)

That is why I am expecting to likely have to wait until next year before I upgrade my monitor.

I almost pulled the trigger on the newer ASUS Gsync IPS monitor until I learned they are still using an 8-bit panel with color dithering to achieve 10-bit(like) color scale. There are other true 10-bit IPS panels that meet all but 1 requirement, that being GSync, but if I am going to drop $500-$800 on a monitor it needs to have every feature I want. However, now that HDR is on its way into the PC market I it only adds another must have feature. Being an A/V nut with high standards does not help my wallet one bit.
