Technicavolous 25 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 There are a lot of the new wider monitors coming out. I have had one for several months. None of my Armbian boards support it.

I have to admit, I pretty much only use Armbian so I can't compare to board manufacturer os's ... For as little as I use x86 these days, still spoils me ;] Thanks for poking back 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
