0001200 TECH 6 HYBRID DC/DCC SYSTEM
We all know DCC gives you many more features, especially getting the sounds and other features built into new decoder equipped locos.
So you are interested in DCC but afraid to take the plunge?
- Worried DCC is too complex to understand?
- Do not want the expense and toil to convert your roster of non-decoder equipped locos?
- Not too technically savvy?
- DCC systems are too expensive
We have heard this all too often from our customers. So we developed a system for people with these same concerns.
Our Tech 6 Unit can operate either a standard DC loco or a decoder equipped loco…and more.
MRC Tech 6 can operate locos that are not decoder equipped and they run on DC power just like you have been doing with your power pack. Get precise throttle control, momentum (adjustable, but we will get to this later) and forward and reverse control.
But here is where it gets really interesting.
Simply press the mode button on the Tech 6. The unit’s red light comes on.
Place a Decoder equipped loco on the track, move your throttle and off you go.
- Press the direction button and you are going in reverse
- Simply press button #1 and you will hear the loco’s bell
- Press # 2 and listen for the horn or whistle.
- Press 0 and lights will turn on or off.
- So now any decoder equipped loco will provide the diesel rumble or steam chuff coordinated with the speed, and you will be controlling lights, bell and horn all with simple 1 touch operation for each feature you wish to use. Very Simple!!
- You can adjust how fast the loco accelerates or how much time it takes to decelerate, also change the start voltage and the top end voltage. Remember when you make these adjustments it works, whether you are using a non-decoder equipped loco or decoder equipped loco.
- Your decoder controlled loco will have other unique sounds included, depending on the decoder manufacturer’s features. Most modern decoders have 28 sounds or features. You can access all 28 of these functions simply. All you do is to press the number and you hear the sound or operate the feature. Wow So Easy…
- You can also grow with your Tech 6. As you become more familiar with DCC you can change the settings in your decoder. These are called CVs and yes, your tech 6 can handle this as well. And do it without too much fuss.
Now, remember, you are only running 1 loco at a time….
BUT WAIT…..
If you wish to get a bit more sophisticated, you can do tons more.
Add a walkaround throttle (Tech 6 Walkaround) that gives you mobility and the ability to run up to 6 locos on the track at the same time. Simply hit the P button and the # 1 key for the first loco you put on the track. Then put another loco on the track, press the P button, the #2 key and you will have two engines running on the same track. Not hard at all is it?
Features include:
- 2 amp capacity (Perfect for "HO" scale)
- Mode switch selects between analog Standard DC or Dual for operating DCC decoder equipped locos
- Smooth linear motor control in either mode
- In Dual Mode - Full 28 N.M.R.A. functionality lets you access all your locos have to offer
***Optional Extension Plate*** Extension plates can add extended range by wiring them around your layout. Please see item 0001501.
*Three Year Limited Warranty – Please see instruction manual for details.

Great with one annoyance
Very nice + hi-res. Each pixel is sharp thanks, I presume, to IPS. One criticism: there's no way to tell whether it's supposed to be 'on', except by seeing a picture. Very frustrating when the graphics card and the monitor at startup both kind of go: "Are you on? No? Then I'll turn back off." for what seems like 2 seconds and you have to try to guess whether the monitor is actually on. You can look down the slots at the back for lights, but one that's easier to see would be nice.
Anyway, as you'll have seen, it has a literal 15:10 aspect ratio (even better than 16:10) so this is a rare monitor that's better for documents than the 16:9 monitors that are made for movies. I think the monitor may be a little small for ~4K, but you can't complain for the price.
Would buy again, but please, give it an 'on' light.

I works fine so far as work display, not the cheapest but metal stand legs and overall good quality
Except the tiny stereo speakers that are a joke , just marketing since they are utterly useless as volume is so low. The 3 or 4 inputs available is great addition. The panel input buttons on the side works ergonomically when changing inputs and brightness (you will be changing brightness a lot during the day, trust me. It is not very bright but with 100%brightness is barely usable in low light indoor, at night it needs to go down to 25 ~20% instead. The images, (text) is crisp since 4K+ and extra lines gives more screen space for working , not the ideal format to watch movies as you know.Any case, I like it and recommend it. Color gamut and HDR 10 is just marketing but for text display and working space , works fine

Need to set 60Hz manually - otherwise "No Signal"
Size: 34
Works great as an office monitor - however the HDMI connection defaults to 3440x1440 at 100Hz and the monitor treats that as "No Signal" - it didn't actually work until I went into the display settings and changed it to 60Hz manually. The manual doesn't mention this defect at all, and I have no idea how a non-technical user would know to try this.
The size is perfect for office work, especially compared to a 27" monitor which always feels just a little bit too small. The image quality is identical to a more expensive LG 27" monitor that I have next to it (it's a 4K running at 1440p to match pixel density). I don't use the speaker so I don't care about the sound quality. I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on gaming usage. The package includes VESA mount standoffs and even a screwdriver, so I was able to mount it to a monitor arm just with what was in the box! It's too bad that I couldn't order it without a stand, I hate to just throw that part away.

A Great Monitor: The Dell UltraSharp U4025QW Delivers
I recently invested in the Dell UltraSharp U4025QW and I am very happy with my choice. For anyone involved in creative/productivity type work like audio and video editing, spreadsheets, etc., this monitor won’t disappoint.
The color and clarity are visually stunning. The 5K2K WUHD resolution on the 40-inch screen makes every detail pop, and the text is crystal clear, it makes a huge difference during long editing sessions.
Videos look incredibly rich, and I'm noticing details in my footage I hadn't seen before.
The 40” size is perfect for my work. The ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio provides an enormous amount of screen real estate. I can have my editing timelines, mixer boards, and reference windows open all at the same time without constantly going back and forth between windows.
The built-in hub functionality is also a plus for this monitor. The assortment of extra ports are incredibly convenient.
It is a large investment but it’s a quality product. Highly recommended.

Excellent Monitor
This is a great monitor, picture quality is outstanding with great color fidelity. Coming from a standard 28 inches16X9 Samsung 4K monitor, which I also purchased here on Amazon, sometimes I do notice blurriness on some photos specially if you put them full screen, but this is understandable being that even with the high pixel density on this monitor low quality images will look a little blurry in full screen or when expanded more than %100 of their native size. (Not a monitor's fault). UPDATE: Correction, all I had to do to remove all the blurriness was to decrease the monitor sharpness settings, I brought that down from the default setting to just 40 and that made a huge difference without losing the quality of the images or video.
Also, if you want to compensate for that, and you have great vision like 20/20, then you can change the scaling on Windows to just %125 instead of the recommended %150. However, for people like me with not the best vision, then everything becomes a tiny bit too small to look at comfortably. And also at such lower scaling some websites serve smaller lower quality images (specially on sites using WordPress) and this I do not like either, so I stick to the recommended %150 scaling which gives me an overall best experience everywhere.
To the user "JVH" who posted a review complaining about the monitor changing sources unexpectedly, this is a feature, you may disable it on the Monitor Menu settings or using Dell Display Manager software which you may install and will give you easier access to the monitor features, or just accessing the built-in monitor Menu. On the monitor, however, you can just go to the Menu using the joystick, then go to "Input Source", then "Auto Select" and change it to OFF.
This is a huge monitor, and you need plenty of space on your desk to use it. I also agree the ports in the monitor are placed facing downwards (a trend on most new monitors these days) which makes it hard to reconnect cables if unplugged.
Regarding the KVM switch it has worked fine for me for the most part, however the network switch mode doesn't work very well, and it's complicated to switch sources if you use the network switch instead of the KVM USB mode.
I also wish more than 2 computers could be connected to the monitor with the USB KVM mode, more than two computers can only be used while utilizing the KVM Network mode.
There are only three color modes built in "Standard", "Movie" and "Game". Default color modes and presets are not as many as in other monitors and I find the default colors either too yellow or washed out for my taste, however I selected Movie mode for now then played a little with the brightness/contrast and color saturation and I have gotten it to look good for my taste.
By all means please do yourself a favor and install "Dell Display Manager" This app makes it easy to quickly manage your monitor settings, change them and I have also noticed that the display delivers more a more sophisticated picture when that app is installed. You'll also be able to export/import certain settings with it and over control almost everything without the need to play with the joystick in the back.
If you have an NVIDIA card, by all means install the Nvidia settings app then go to the Display tab then "Adjust Color Settings" and play with the brightness/contrast/Gama and Digital vibrance a little to make it look even better. Before you do that make sure to take screenshots of the current settings, if you change it too drastically you might find it very hard to find the previous settings, and you might need to reset the app to defaults and start from zero again.
Here are my current settings on the "Display/Adjust Desktop Color Settings" on the Nvidia App:
1- First, select ALL channels on the color channel option
2- Brightness +40
3-Contrast +55
4-Gamma +1.12
5-Digital Vibrance +67
6- Save all the settings.
Now go to the Video tab on the Nvidia App then go to "Adjust Video Image Settings"
1-) Edge Enhancement select "Use the Nvidia Settings" and set it to +10
2-) Noise Reduction select "Use the Nvidia Settings" and set it to +7
3 Deinterlacing, Select "Use Inverse Telecine"
4 RTX Enhancement, Select Super resolution and set the quality to 4.
Here are my hard settings on the Monitor itself:
Brightness 69
Contrast 67
Autobrightness OFF
Autocolor Temp OFF
Color Settings
Preset mode: Movie
Input color mode: RGB
Hue 50
Saturation 67
Display
Aspect Ratio 21:9
Sharpness 40
Response Time: Fast
Smart HDR: OFF
PS: I'm still playing with the settings, so I'll update my settings here as I play more with them.
You also have options to change the Color Temperature, Color Space or you can skip all prebuilt picture modes and select "Custom Color" this is ideal for those who really know what they are doing and that's what I'll probably switch to when I have time to play with it.
Keep in mind I'm still discovering mode and might radically change these settings again, but so far these settings are the easiest I have found to change and give me stunning picture and video settings. Take the above advice as not from an expert and also as only a base from where to start to tweak the monitor to your liking. Again, ensure to keep screenshots of all your current changes in case you want to go back to what you had, or you'll need to reset everything to defaults and start as a new monitor.
I have been holding on from buying an ultrawide for years because I was not willing to downgrade from 4K to any of those ultrawide ones with very low resolution. This is finally a 5k2k that wouldn't make me feel like I was downgrading instead of upgrading. Other than the few cons, this is an excellent monitor and I would recommend it to anyone.
