No. I have some foil tape, but not nearly enough. After a minute of screwing around with the pieces I am working with surface temp on my shirt goes to like 150f +. The amount of radiant IR this thing puts out is a bitch.

I'm a bit lost...
What is your refresh rate? I'm running 2560x1440 PiP on integrated video. It will support 5120x1440@60hz but with an NVIDIA it will support 240Hz. See if you defaulted to 120Hz.

So update on the monitors. Talked w my buddy at work (who’s in IT department). After hearing all the stuff I did. He’s 75% sure it’s cable issue. He recommend instead of DP>HDMI change it out to DP>DP cable. He had 1 laying around, so I can test it out. Got home & tried it on one of the monitor, it changed to 2560x1080 as it should. So he was right. It was the cable issue.

Makes sense. Most DP->HDMI cables are not bidirectional. That means the monitor isn't feeding back info necessary in some situations where it is needed.

Lost another good one. Our production manager's last day is the 24th. I hired him 10 years ago as a line guy and has been a great employee and worked his way up.

Our GM said he is opening that position to anyone in the building to apply for including me. I told him to go fuck himself.

I've been saying that for years. A lot of our pay is wrapped in end of year profit sharing. Most people would be happier for a higher wage and much lower profit share, even if it didn't equate to what they are making now+profit sharing.

He might try to make you do the job anyway.
