[real edge]

the alienware in general seems kinda wonky

if you want a new display I would wait until HDMI 2.1/DP 2.0 become standard

which is gonna be soon

I've been hearing rumors of a new line of monitors that uses HDMI 2.1

[umbral moss]

great, HDMI 2.1 compliance on the sink end, but nothing on the source end

[bitter girder]

Tried it before?

[umbral moss]

this sounds about right, nvidia does a lot of processing on the gsync module

there's a fairly sizeable amount of input lag with gsync compared to freesync

it's an OLED display?

[potent arrow]

Is this 4080 a late April fool's joke lol

[umbral moss]

yeah, OLED needs pixel orbiting so it doesn't die

like plasma back in the day

[hard drift]

it's not shifting forever, it's just to prevent burn in for static things

[modest moss]

nah I'm not posh like you

[umbral moss]

the new QDOLED designs should be more resilient to burn-in and subpixel aging

[hard drift]

also you won't really notice it ice so what does it matter lmao

you're reading too far into things for no good reason

[umbral moss]

with a single wavelength emitter and frequency coupled red/green channels you should have far fewer issues with color shift

since the blue pixels will just age out and lower intensity, rather than fucking up the color balance as the blue intensity drops

it's stuff that doesn't matter even to monitor grognards

[hard drift]

also locking it to 120 hz vs 140 or whatever you won't notice a huge loss for your 10bit color so what does it matter again

[umbral moss]

OLED is still kind of unsuitable to PC applications because of pixel aging though

[hard drift]

ice will just upgrade next year don't worry

[bitter girder]

I am far from posh

[modest moss]

that bougie ready meal, iphone, macbook, daddy buying you a car

distilled water is like $0.25/L lmao

[bitter girder]

@modest moss we’re gonna go on a date

[umbral moss]

I also have zero issues with sedimentation or corrosion because I use plain steam distilled water

[modest moss]

I'm not travelling to wales for a curry

[umbral moss]

I've been using this loop for almost 10 years 24/7 and it requires no maintenance other than putting water in every so often thanks to that busted fitting

[bitter girder]

Prick

[umbral moss]

all those colored coolants shit up your loop

they look pretty when you load them up but they're hugely non-functional for actually using your PC regularly

since you need to replace the coolant every couple of months

full purge, scrub, refill

meanwhile, distilled water is "put it in and never think about it again"

you should check your jet plates for buildup since the dye tends to react with the metal or get stuck in the exchanger pins

nuke PHN is cheap and you only need like, three drops for 3L of coolant

if you're using genuine distilled water it shouldn't grow anything anyway

the only thing that's aged on my loop is the tubing is yellow now

but still flexible

I have two 500mm long reservoirs, plus the 2x200 radiator and the rest of the loop

if I drain it it takes 4L to refill

also consider my tygon tubing is from 2012

so it's a little yellow

I have nylon reinforced tygon tubing

it's really flexible, no plasticizer to leach into the loop

food grade and lasts basically forever

I chose it because it has high pressure handling

I'm using two VPP655s in series set to ~60% output each

I have a pretty significant amount of flow/pressure for 12V input

other than the general rule of parallel flow being preferred over serial flow, no

I'm not a hydraulic engineer so I don't calculate the resistance in each jet plate

[odd sand]

My Surface studio laptop is really pissing me off lately. It will randomly decide to stop charging from the cable and then your system randomly drains completely and shuts off

[umbral moss]

might be the charger

[odd sand]

I put it on to charge last night and put it to sleep and went to bed. Woke up and it was at 17% ... confirmed it was charging again and was on my work laptop for the last hour. Looked over ... and it was completely dead and started up charging at 0%

Maybe. It's apparently a fairly common probl4em

[umbral moss]

I had to buy a new charger last year for my surface because the old 65W one fucked off

sometimes this one also stops negotiating with the laptop and I have to pull the AC power to reset it

[bitter girder]

This shit is so good id drag my balls against needles for this

[modest moss]

bougie chicken and chips

[bitter girder]

Fine

[umbral moss]

new impreza unveiling on 11/17

time to be thoroughly unimpressed with another wagon design

I mean, it depends on how much money you want to spend

the one we used to buy at my job costs like $85 but it reads 0-40-ish L/min

if you're just looking to test it real quick maybe don't buy that lmao

you could infer your flow rate by the pressure in the tube

since you know the tube ID and the pressure so you can figure out the water mass and how fast it's moving

[bitter girder]

When I found out that’s all they make now I got sad

[umbral moss]

seems like a pretty standard G 1/4 thread so no, it won't

honestly, quick disconnects don't make sense unless you have an extremely high pressure pump or you plan on swapping out parts often

just use a damn ball valve on a 3 way fitting

also, quick disconnects are self-sealing

so...

[wide hill]

me bying a capture card for recording my console, now to only find out i need some way of capturing microphone whilst also listening to the audio that comes out of the console.

[sly elk]

does the plug get hot or something? Maybe the plug needs cleaning?

[dull garnet]

p kewl

[umbral moss]

I still suspect it's the negotiating function in the supply

I have issues with my phone fucking up and not accepting a full power charge, regardless of how much power the USB C can supply

65W USB-C brick, barely trickle charging 1%/hr

have to unplug the supply for about 20 minutes and then it unfucks itself

[modest moss]

@bitter girder you're basically still a child

talk to me about scooter technology

[jaunty light]

Scooters arent real

[modest moss]

they are real

my son wants a new one

[dull garnet]

are they even legal

[dreamy chasm]

Are you trying to stream

You can probably achieve mic recording while streaming your game by sending the signal to your recording device as a first stop, and have the device output your voice to your console

Probably through an aux cable or something (idk, I don't have any consoles)

If you're trying to use in-console mic functions

[bitter girder]

I have not had a scooter since I was 12

[dull garnet]

i lost my scooter at butlins when i was 15

[modest moss]

not an electric one

[dull garnet]

well duh

😎

these were so shit, every little bump in the road/pavement rattled to your core

[bitter girder]

When ever I look at a scooter I just think about my shins

Being hit by one

[wide hill]

I have a gamedac, which does have line out

I guess I can hook that to the pc

[dreamy chasm]

Aye

[umbral moss]

god, those fucking electric scooters are plague in manhattan

[dreamy chasm]

Just need a way to get your mic input sent to your streaming computer somehow

[umbral moss]

people just haul them fully assembled down the stairs on the subway like they're holding a fucking chair against a lion

[wide hill]

well, that part is easy, you just plug line out into line in

just need an aux cable

since the gamedac has an buildt in mixer for just line out, so i can choose that only to be mic-out, and the capture card can handle the game sounds

[dreamy chasm]

Mhm

[jaunty light]

Pass the aux cable bro

god I hate linux

cant believe people lie to themselves thinking linux is better than windows

[odd sand]

If you completely customize it and practice it for like a month, yeah it can be more efficient, but most ppl aren't neurotic enough to bother

a customized terminal shell is about as far as I would go

This coming from someone who just spent like $400 on their custom keyboard that took a full night to put together

[deep sapphire]

and god forbid you modify something and it fucks something up

you're better off making frequent back ups and restoring them than trying to fix it

[odd sand]

That said, it's a really nice sound and very solid to type on

[bitter girder]

So does a cheaper keyboard

[deep sapphire]

you used milwaukee tools to make that right

[odd sand]

Oh sure. I could get a similar feel out of like a $100 keychron aluminum frame and then like $75 in switches etc.

[sly elk]

haha i've been dealing with this

i swapped out my k70 for a small logitech wireless keyboard on my side computer

i love it taking up less space

[bitter girder]

Building keyboards could be fun but I simply just see a keyboard as a keyboard

[sly elk]

but I really miss my mechanical

and i don't really wanna buy another

I already have 2 k70s and a strafe

and my dygma

[bitter girder]

I use an mx keys ahahahahhaa

[odd sand]

The custom keyboards is just to get the really tight build quality

CNC milled aluminum

Keychron has a new barebones for $70 https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-v6-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard?variant=40320325386329

Only issue is its not aluminum housing

You can stiffen up the frame by weighting the bottom and not having as much padding though

[jaunty light]

@potent arrow bizzare, the gwolves is a usb micro, maybe thats why it has latency problems

[dreamy chasm]

I've been daily driving a 40 dollar akkp board

USB micro is never why a mouse has latency issues

Unless ur memeing

Then, fair enough

[jaunty light]

All these chinese companies have ridic packing tho. The atlantis and this mousr by far the nicest. Pay $150 for a gpx and you get a box

[potent arrow]

I just dumped 200$ on a Q2 LOL

[jaunty light]

The mouse side is a usb micro

[dreamy chasm]

Aren't g wolves mice wireless

Charger port connector type shouldn't really have a bearing on latency

[bitter girder]

Just come mine and take my super light off me

[sly elk]

i'm gonna go ahead and say that i hate overly fancy packaging material

like in an ideal world, to me i'd like the mouse/keyboard/laptop/whatever in a nice drawstring bag, and then just inside a reasonable generic cardboard box with ample foam/whatever to not destroy it in shipping

the fancy apple style boxes with the matte paper-plastic wrapper with high res pictures of the product are just...

such a waste

[jaunty light]

I need a gilded marble box

[bitter girder]

I nee

[dreamy chasm]

Should I @potent arrow

[dreamy chasm]

My current mouse came in a brown cardboard box with the brand name on it and nothing else

[potent arrow]

mmm not my style personally

[dreamy chasm]

Was pretty neat

[potent arrow]

also ali express caps hurt my eaaaaaars

[dreamy chasm]

just thought the pink and blue was cute :x

[potent arrow]

is vewry cute

[dreamy chasm]

It's 24 bucks

Mmh

I don't generally care about sound

Unless it's gratingly loud like mx blue switches

[potent arrow]

I rather get solid double shot

[jaunty light]

Mm yea i bet you like 2 shots

[dreamy chasm]

Double shot just costs too much

Well

Depends on the vendor ig

[potent arrow]

eh to me they are worth it because they sound good and last a looooooooong time

[dreamy chasm]

Maybe

I have doubleshots on mine, but idk if I like the colorway on them

[paper tusk]

I went with pudding caps and like them so far (aside from the cost of adding them on a keyboard)

[potent arrow]

So the new keyboard build im doing is:
Keychron V2
Usual pbt keycaps I use
Neapolitan switches with film and lube
Durock Stabs
Nico layer under the pcb

[odd sand]

Just be aware the keys are shaped like old-timey typewriter ones. Make sure you like that

I just have keychron stabs in mine bc it was all my friend had onhand when I went to build there

[odd sand]

Friend made a joke about butts and I told him there was an anime for that /s

[boreal surge]

Keijo?

[odd sand]

Yep that was from Keijo. Of course making fun of gates of babylon

[dreamy chasm]

oh?

[odd sand]

@dreamy chasm Like these. I meant old commodore although I think some electric typewriters had them as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwAu_seSt2A

[dreamy chasm]

I don't think these keycaps are like those

[odd sand]

Although the ones you have pictured look like they'll be flat on the top and not "cupped" like the C64

[dreamy chasm]

oh, you mean that

[odd sand]

If you look closely they are tapered

[dreamy chasm]

they're definitely curved like that

i don't think I'd mind, though

I typed on DSA for a long time

[odd sand]

Yeah wasn't saying they're bad, but just different from the typical modern keycap

[dreamy chasm]

fair

yeah, i definitely wouldnt mind

as long as the home row keys have some sort marker on them im usually fine w it

unless theyre a really high profile cap

[sly elk]

-shrug-

maybe i should get some funky keycaps

Chevy rates it at 1000 hp stock

For a naturally aspirated engine that’s pretty insane

[umbral moss]

I mean, when you have pistons the size of 2L soda bottles you can get a lot of force per bang

[deep sapphire]

The 632 is also the first time they made a non LS based big block with port fuel injection

Before it was all throttle body or “spider injection” which frankly is still the most ghetto and funniest way to add port fuel injection

They just stuck abunch of tubes down the intake runners for fuel

I'm just messing with you anyway, but you know that

at one point they did remove them from our store for like months and months but they came back

[odd sand]

I wonder if thats real or edited. I feel like it could go either way, because there are absolutely situations where cargo containers go overboard

[sharp star]

most likely edited because Fort Wayne is nowhere near the ocean

[odd sand]

Maybe. Could have been the next distro center after Toledo, but then you would assume the update would have been from Toledo I guess.

Then there are strange cases like Sacramento being a "port city" because of the canal from San Francisco

Despite it being smack dab in the middle of the central valley CA

HE DID IT

BAHAHAHAHAH

This video is fucking insane lol

[sly elk]

finally

now the redditors that were accusing people of sabatoge when their 12v connector melted can finally eat crow lol

[potent arrow]

Yep

Like actual proof and evidence and testing

Everyone can fuckin shut up now

[dreamy chasm]

Is that an actual accusation

Are.. people dumb

Why would you actively sabotage a card you've paid your hard earned money on, lol

[potent arrow]

TLDW: User Error, causing cable at an angle due to improper seating of cable and some manufacturing defects like burrs and debris

[dreamy chasm]

Seems reasonable

Even if a lot of it is user error, I feel like a lot of this could've been avoided in the design or manufacturing stage

[odd sand]

I think there is something to be said for if improper seating of the cable and reasonable manufacturing defects can cause this, it needs to be redesigned

[dreamy chasm]

But, what do I know

Yeah

[odd sand]

Make the damn thing 2-3x as wide and higher gauge and design it with a 180 connector or something

[dreamy chasm]

The fact the adapter isn't angled given the size of the card compared to the clearance most cases have in the market is pretty stupid

[odd sand]

^

don't bend them says the company designing a cable that exits the opposite direction necessary and with only 1-2 inches of clearance

[dreamy chasm]

I'm glad GN puts in the amount of effort they do when doing testing on stuff like this

Specially compared to some people

[odd sand]

Sure. But I do feel like they're overly zealous at times to the point it feels like a smear campaign

Even if ultimately the result is still the same: Make a new cable/connector

[sly elk]

yeeaaaaaaa

so it doesn't entirely help if they're saying it's the user's fault

but here's the thing

if you install one of these suckers inside a normal pc case

the adapter cable will have to bend

[sly elk]

ahhh I saw the reddit post

everyone calling for igor labs' heads

lol

ok maybe an exaggeration but

[umbral moss]

to be totally honest, if the cable needs to transmit 400+W, the connector should be completely bulletproof and not something you can mount "improperly"

there's a point where you can't be like "eh, just wing it" like it's an HDMI cable

transmitting 16+A per pin is "every single millimeter of conductor needs to be engaged" territory

[bitter girder]

@dull garnet

[dull garnet]

Kigurumi

[bitter girder]

Who

[sly elk]

It is total fucking bullshit. But the hardware threads on reddit are full of simps that will buy a 4090 or 4080 without thinking because it's soooo much faster

and I haven't watched the video, but I don't think the sentiment being gathered on reddit is appropriate lol

one example of the 12v adapter plug had some SUPER shoddy design principles

if GN says that version was ok, then I won't trust them anymore

[bitter girder]

Jesus

No thank you

[potent arrow]

Its 100% and engineering issue

[sly elk]

tbh I don't necessarily see a problem with the prices, if that's really what it costs to make those things

at least the AIBs don't seem to be making much off them

[bitter girder]

You know they cost nowhere near that

[sly elk]

is nvidia? no idea

I mean remember there's the cost of producing the chip from raw materials, the R&D cost (including getting the facilities developed/built I guess) and idk what else

like with tech

there are times where a thing just costs so damn much to make

• I used to use this argument with apple watches

the tech itself might be worth the price, even if the utility it provides isn't

i think that's still true with folding smartphones lol

you could buy an iphone and an ipad for less than the cost of a galaxy fold (at msrp anyway)

so why buy 1 device that half asses both things? cuz it's cool

[odd sand]

You can't convince me they've increased the bill of materials on cards by 200% in 3 years. It's absolutely a price gouge bc they saw the "market could withstand it" during covid when all the cards were getting scalped

[sly elk]

i imagine

I really hate corporate price gouging

it's like the extravagent CEO golf course lunches

[odd sand]

That said, it could actually cost AIBs a pretty penny and so their prices are justified bc of that...

[sly elk]

shit we had an IT dude that told me about his last job

[odd sand]

But only bc Nvidia is selling the addon boards to them at insane prices in the first place

[sly elk]

where he'd get vendors to take him to the porsche experience for lunch/car racing to get deals buying hardware with them

that shit's >$1k

[odd sand]

The 4080 12gb will now be labeled a 4070ti even though its still only charitably a 4070 in power and maybe a 4060ti

[jaunty light]

I could do this.. once

[sly elk]

haha I can relate

I'd love to go to do that

but it feels corrupt af to rip your customers off as a company so you can go do posh shit on their dime

[real edge]

if they do not fuck it up they can take home the W, especially in europe where prices are insane, if their 999euro msrp includes taxes in the EU(like it did for the 6900xt) and the gpu has good perf then they will wreck nvidia in the EU

but that is a lot of ifs....

[sharp star]

don’t let your dreams be memes

[real edge]

well first step would be the gpus msrp including VAT/tax

we will see in a couple of weeks

[sly elk]

yea in my head

a 6900xt or 7900xt or 3070+ offers more than enough performance for most people lol

so when I see a 4090 i'm thinking

why's this person gotta be so extra

[kindred brook]

how did gamer jesus figure out the problem before a multi billion dollar company

[sharp star]

he specializes in PC components burning up

[odd sand]

I can't even with that person in not-ff chat anymore

They supposedly already were though ... they had what? $2B a year in R&D spending

Hello, you've been telling me "by this 2 days"for the past 4 days. I need this by the 23rd.
Are you able to ship it, or not?

Thats what i just fired off

I think its QUITE obvious on the threat that i'd cancel

So imma just wait a mo

I see they're online

I want to giv u money for goods

FFS

[modest moss]

they probably ordered it and they're messaging their seller going 'dear you told me 2 days'

[royal forge]

Im convinced its all a single warehouse

Should i just cancel and search

For another seller

FFS. My cooler and GPU are being handled by the same clown company

[modest moss]

cancel/return it all and get a steamdeck

[royal forge]

Lmao

I cant

[modest moss]

you can't return unopened for refund?

[royal forge]

Ikr

[royal forge]

VERY difficult

Bye dear

[royal forge]

I'd have to pay shippin etc

And i cant live with daily BSODs

[sharp star]

I think the most concerning part of this is the fact that they called you “dear”

[modest moss]

ah well, hopefully it all shows up

[royal forge]

I should just find another seller and force em to commit to "ready stock"

[sly elk]

At least they use cute emoji

[royal forge]

Im thinkin of

Trying to find another seller

Ugh

Why cant u setup a big corpo here

And kick the shit outta this bullshit

I need to find another monitor

Summoning @real edge

[modest moss]

does nowhere else stock that LG?

[royal forge]

LG 27GP850

Theres like 2 sellers

But they dont have immediate/ready stock

[real edge]

I just woke up

[modest moss]

Nhads heard monitor and came sprinting to tech

[royal forge]

Lmao

I've finished my surgery for the day

So i got eyeball injecting later

So i popped home to get some alternatives

[real edge]

ok so we're getting into territory here that is kinda unknown so

Nixeus NX-EDG27240X

[royal forge]

Why is it unknown?

OH

[real edge]

monitors that I have not recommended yet

[royal forge]

No joy

None that i can find

[real edge]

I wouldn't get anything from china

theres the gigabyte M27Q if you want that

[royal forge]

Hmm

[real edge]

it is still one of the best budget displays

and if you can find the 240hz version over there which is the QX

even better

there is also the M32Q

but its 32 inches

[royal forge]

What is the downside on the gigabyte?

[real edge]

response times are OK instead of great

[royal forge]

Well

If they have stock

I dont see much mentioned on colors

Except the black looks grey

[real edge]

you cannot fix that in IPS displays

IPS always has bad blacks no matter what you buy

WANNA WATCH ME SUFFER MORE

lol illegear

Thats PTSD

[modest moss]

plug it in to your illegear laptop and it'll all be fixed

[real edge]

that lacks a good color gamut

[modest moss]

Aoi

[real edge]

its gradient is also stuck to 8bit

the gigabyte is 10bit

[modest moss]

don't bother buying anything, wait on the LG

you don't have gpu yet anyway

[real edge]

its response times are also trash

[royal forge]

Ye. The lack of a gpu is..

[real edge]

either get the gigabyte M27Q or wait for the LG

[royal forge]

Thats the official store

How the fuck

Psssh

4080.. for 1k moreee

[real edge]

if you want a high VRAM gpu might as well wait for the 7900xtx

24gigs at a reasonable price

[royal forge]

Haha

I'm ok

Just...

[modest moss]

that happens in online shops everywhere, listing is used for item A, item A becomes deprecated and they update it to item B

[royal forge]

Stir crazy i think

[modest moss]

amazon is awful for it

[royal forge]

Ice u nutjob, i would need a new psu

[modest moss]

what's the deal with the gpu now?

[real edge]

yeah AMD lags behind in shit like blender

[royal forge]

U mean where is mine?

No fuckin clue

[modest moss]

yes

[royal forge]

Lmao

Its been uh

MIA for.. 3 days?

It was "passed to delivery partner"

Which delivery partner? I got two different answers when i asked twice

6.5k for 3090ti or 6.5k for a 4080

Kek

Jiggle the wire and you'll get free plastic perfume

OH

The gpu just updated

I dont know what that means

Or why it didnt update earlier

But

It feels like a game of pass the parcel

To me, to you, to me, to you

[modest moss]

@real edge can I mute the guy giving dogshit covid advice in #not-ffxiv-discussion and then being an arse about it?

[royal forge]

Got a dude that'll sell me the monitor for 1.7k. Shippin is 100+

But he says he has immediate stock

[real edge]

the difference between the two is that the M27Q has better contrast (1200 as opposed to 800) but somewhat higher response times

[real edge]

check if the M27Q P is available over there

its the better version of the Q

if it does exist over there, how much does it cost?

[royal forge]

Ok

[royal forge]

M27 Q P is 1.5k

[real edge]

ooo great

then theres no reason to get the LG

[royal forge]

Aite.

[real edge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjr7VGjnweo

with your gpu you shouldn't have problems running the monitor at near max refresh rate

[modest moss]

rtings still rate the LG as best option in that price bracket though

[royal forge]

https://shopee.com.my/product/153135042/2473193766?smtt=0.206572095-1668663607.9

Ye. Im tryin to google fu

Ahck. Lunch break almost over

[modest moss]

LG can do 180hz too, but I haven't tried boosting it to that

but honestly either will probably just look gorgeous

[real edge]

rtings hasn't reviewed the P version

[modest moss]

get what you can get

[real edge]

for some reason

the P is essentially an improved M27Q

they fix the response times pretty much

[modest moss]

slackers lol

[real edge]

from what I can see in reviews at least

the M27Q has meh response times but the Q P fixes them

[modest moss]

but yeah I reckon Aoi will be happy with either of those, so I'd go whatever has ready stock

[real edge]

that is great

and with the 3090 aoi can run this monitor at max fps in most games

so there should be no issues

contrast drops from 1200 to like 1000 but

ehh

[royal forge]

I can just get the LG from a diff seller which has ready stock..

[real edge]

if you were in the EU I would have told you to buy both and keep the one you like the most

[royal forge]

1.7k

The dude in buildapc discord suggests the lg

Since they both use the same panel, by LG

Claims LG would do a better job

Well, he suggested a cheaper MSI one first

[real edge]

LG does a better job with the response times, the Q P does a better job with contrast and colors while having similar response times but worse overshoot across the refresh range

so for example

if you can only run a game at 60fps for example

the LG has little overshoot but the Q P has some

whether or not you notice the overshoot is up to your eyes

you cannot freely return stuff over there, right?

[royal forge]

Oh u mean like fps changes?

Oh. I am very sensitive to that

Like 60 dippin to 45

[real edge]

FPS changes no

overshoot is where you start to notice bright halos across moving objects because the overdrive is too aggressive

[royal forge]

Oh

[real edge]

usually happens at low fps

like 40

but with the 3090 you shouldn't have to worry about those unless you turn on RTX in cyberpunk 2077 or sth

[royal forge]

Ugh. Im so undecided

[real edge]

can you return displays after purchasing them?

[royal forge]

Nag

Nah*

Considering that i dont even have a GPU

Theres really no point, is there

[real edge]

lmao

personally I would recommend the M27Q P, looking at how both monitors perform

M27Q X > M27Q P > LG 27GP850 > M27Q

QX and QP = better colors and contrast with similar response time performance but worse overshoot

LG = worse contrast and colors(but not much in colors) but better overshoot handling with similar response time performance

M27Q = better colors and contrast than the LG but worse response times and worse overshoot

this is what I think but no matter what you buy you will be happy

if you just want a display that can do everything then the price point increases too much

but no matter what you choose from these, you will be happy

just make sure the gigabyte one is the M27Q P if you choose that

[sly elk]

heh there really isn't a display that can do everything all at once

like you run into the "high refresh rate vs 10bit color" thing or

high dpi vs high refresh rate

[real edge]

the odyssey G7 can do everything with DSC

but has QA issues

[sly elk]

it's 4k?

lol samsung

[real edge]

and I wouldn't trust aois country with a poor QA display

[sly elk]

literally everything samsung makes has QA issues

sitting in the US myself, I don't have high regard for LG's QA either

[real edge]

its 1440p and its good in everything

its peak LCD but samsung QA

I have not run into any issues but

multiple reports online mention QA issues

[sly elk]
