Shucking won't go away any time soon and it's the only sensible option.

Yep. Now just struggling with a very tight case to pry open and overtightened screws before testing it properly.

Well will it be okay in my laptop?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/186004658375 it has a plastic enclosure but I took the lid off once it started overheating so it's in the air now.

Cheap no-name one from ebay. It only needs to run long enough to clone the disk onto it. Do you think I won't have the issue when installed in the laptop?

It's for a laptop so a heatsink isn't an option unfortunately.

I have a 2TB Crucial P5 NVMe SSD which I want to image my OS onto and replace my existing smaller NVMe. I'm using a cheap USB-C enclosure to attach the target SSD to the host machine. However, after abut 20-30 mins copying, the temp of the SSD being written to spikes to >80C and it keeps...

Yeah sadly even if my desk could fit that size the neck straight and focus on peripheral vision issues make it a no-goer. My laptop is >200 DPI but I think ideal for a desktop monitor with my desk layout is closer to 100 dpi. I could stretch to 40" and work out a way of mounting secondary...

Yes I've done the ppi calcs. Ideal ppi on Windows at my viewing distance is probably more like 120 but I'll live with the scaling issues for the real estate. I have used a 2013 mac book with more than 200 dpi for years and yes I know macos does scaling much better, whatever the flaws are it's...

Thanks. My issue is that ideal size is probably more like 35" and it seems they smallest they made a few years ago was 40" and now it's even 43", dang :( But I am rethinking everything. Perhaps the software isn't too hard. And getting rid of bezels would be lovely. I guess my ideal world would...

Hadn't seen that mount. Seems suspiciously cheap.

Hmmm, I honestly hadn't thought of that... a) what "new TVs" are you referring to? b) 1080p is nowhere near enough pixel density c) as I understand it there are other quality issues with TV vs monitor but perhaps that's not an issue with these TVs? d) I'm not yet aware of any software that gets...

The thing is I'm basing my budget on the higher end of every single mount I've found that actually has a review for it. Here in Europe I can't find any Chief branded quad desk mounts available on ebay or Amazon but if you have links or a item name I can have a look. edit: I just found a US...

Preferably £50-£70. 90% of the ones I've found are £40-£60. I've seen a couple for £150-£200 but they look much weaker than those. What options are there for "sturdier" ones and where can you buy them?

I have decided on a quad monitor setup (2x2 and in landscape, 24"). I'm looking for a good monitor mount that could ideally could handle 21"-27" for upgradeability in the future (also not mad expensive). One issue I foresee is that while my desk isn't completely flush against the wall behind it...
