Laptops don’t have graphics inputs, only outputs.

Laptops don't tend to support video-in.

I'd just buy a cheap monitor if you need to. £10 will probably get you a used one from Facebook marketplace (sorry, I feel dirty just mentioning it)...or
Maybe a local charity shop has some (that's where I drop off my obsolete items if family members don't want them).

You won’t get the full appreciation of the monitor until HDR is enabled, that’s when you’ll really notice a difference

Images need to be under 1mb

Dealing with Image uploads and files to the site

Hi all A bit of a helpful pointer should you wish to post images to the site. The maximum file size of an image you can upload is 1MB. It's quite normal for photos to be above this size, but there's an easy way to shrink down the file before uploading. Download Gimp. This is a free open source...

It’s the contrast on the right with the red cherries against the deep black background. Only OLED can get that good.

Have you enabled HDR yet?

Worth understanding illegal keys, likelihood is it will work fine for a little while until Microsoft blacklists it, if it works at all

We wouldn’t be able to offer support on an illegal OS going forwards
