    My friend has an R4 and his dog found his screen to be a new chew toy and it left a mark. He has the 1600x900 and was looking on ebay and found a 1080 non 3d but it's for an r3. He has nvidia gpu. Will it work? Or any other ideas? Thanks

    It should work if you have a Nvidia card. No issues to be anticipated. You can use non 3D panel or 3D panel if you have Nvidia Onboard. The same CANNOT be expected when you AMD onboard.
