I used to think like this and I really had to shift the way I thought about it. I tried my best to stop seeing tech purchases as super long term investments. They’re meant to be used to get joy out of. We pay car insurance each year and never question it. People don’t worry about buying their...

I think I've started to adjust my eye to the more natural colours that are in HDR. Playing in hyper-contrasty SDR content for so long really makes the switch look washed out at first. I tried many settings I wasn't too happy with before stumbling across some easy-to-set settings online for me...

I'm going through a bit of an episode with this currently! I think it's just personal preference. I *REALLY* want to like HDR on this monitor, but I just enjoy how much the colors pop with it off. Maybe it comes down to the games we're playing? As I'm playing a lot of Diablo 4/WoW/FFXIV with...

Nice! Haha yeah, they can be a pain. I read somewhere the one in Nottingham is lovely though :p I picked up my AW3427DWF on sale this week, been loving it so far!

I hear you but... *meatballs* :cool:

I think it will fit, but be a bit snug. Wouldn't think you'd look at it and think 'cramped' though. I had a quick measure. I have the 160x80 from Ikea and use a 34" Ultrawide in the center, and 27" IPS in portrait off to the left, and have about 30+cm's free to the right of my Ultrawide where I...

So I have a LG C1 for my PS5 etc, but have always mainly used IPS panels for my PC. For me, the jump is having those rich colours and deep blacks on a might tighter screen. I was using the Samsung Odyssey G8 (32" VA) for the last week or so, but it's obviously still incomparable. When I first...

Update: Received it! First impressions are :eek:

Thank you for this! As their tracking makes it look like it hasn't even been picked up yet, I wasn't holding my breath. I'll keep more of an ear out now and avoid the headphones.

Few things make me feel older than seeing COD's get released with the exact same name as years ago, without any subtitles, just because it's been so long and kids probably don't even know they existed in the first place :cry:

I've been using the Ikea Bekant 160x80cm desk for a few years now. Has felt spacious enough for me whilst also staying simplistic in its design. Decent choice of colours too. Falls right in the middle of your budget. Lacks any draws though :cry:

In relation to the above post, due to some other issues with the Samsung (scan lines, flickering) I've decided to return it and just go full in on this Alienware lol. This all started with me buying an LG27GP850 as a replacement to my TN second monitor panel. Then moving my older ASUS PG279q...

I think that comes down to location and personal preference. I have a 55' C1 in the living room for my PS5/Xbox, but I can't imagine having even the 42' version on my desk in the office. It would make playing anything with a mouse and keyboard feel far too close even with the screen segmented...

I did it! But not without a scare lol. I was wondering if anyone could shine some light on what might have gone wrong the first time. I opened it up. The paste on the die was super dry and crusty. Cleaned everything up. Reapplied and put it all back together the same way I'd taken it apart...

Cheers! I’ll have a look into them

The person I spoke to was very unhelpful when I emailed. Very quick to respond, but far more concerned with me providing POP than answering my question. They ignored the pads size question twice sadly. I’ll definitely watch some videos. I think I’m just going to have to buy different sizes and...

I’m very reluctantly going to have to open up my GPU and reapply the thermal paste/pads. Never done it before and been putting it off too long as it is, but the fans keep revving up and down CONTINUOUSLY while playing anything at all. Hot point is at 105c almost instantly after booting up any...

The stats on my second post are from being connected directly via ethernet, unfortunately :(. Yeah, i'll give them a buzz. Was just hoping for some insight beforehand as I'm pretty sure I'll get the usual "Everything is fine our end" lol. 4G wouldn't be a possibility here, the service is...

Hey! Thanks for replying. So while I wasn't able to run a WinMTR I was able to just ping google via cmd on my work laptop. This was directly connected to the router via ethernet. ------------ Tracing route to 8.8.8.8 over a maximum of 30 hops 1 1 ms 1 ms 1 ms 192.168.0.1 2 5 ms 5 ms 5 ms...

Hi everyone, I'll try and keep this short. Basically even though I've tried understanding what this means via google, I still dont have a good grasp on where the issue lies with the packet loss / lag spikes I seem to be getting. Long story short, I just moved into a new apartment. Not massive...
