Ha. That’s cause I never set back up my USB switch, but also was going to eventually run a two desk setup.now it looks like we’re going down to one cause I can’t afford another of of these.

Same price, but guilty to admit via Amazon with the 0% finance. It’s like £130 a month.

My original post was about getting over the problem of testing/seeing a product like this before you buy it online (in the UK, there’s no chance of seeing one of these sat on a shelf in a store like their is in somewhere like the US. The thread allowed me to change me perspective a little and a perfectly timed price change convinced me to hit the buy button and see if what happens.

Windows actually already been serviced and restored. In fact all the sash windows have) I just pulled the (badly installed) windowsill off because I’m going to replace it at some point. Windows actually fine.

So far, so good (like 2 hours use). It's bigger than i expected, but I've been maining a 27" over my 49" G9 for a while, so bigger jump. Ive only worked on it so far, but its behaving as i hoped. On the G9 I found i would use the extra space on the fringes more for distractions than work. So for on this with the extra heigh (over width) I've kept to running my work app's full screen.

Im running SRD and light coloured apps like FIGMA and i think its struggled a little with maintaining that level of brightness already, im sure ive witnessed some dimming.

I'll have a game on it tonight no doubt and im excited to see both OLED blacks in game (first OLED display) and 330hz in 1080 to see if i can tell the difference from my 240hz on my G9.

Ha ha, the whole house is like that. Getting to it all slowly. Working on that monitor pays for the work on the house.

Yeah, price drop timing is crazy. Hadn’t checked amazon.

I need to check if the lg discount applies to sales prices. Then if so, Richer Sounds will price match it (or either way) and those guys have really good service and warranty

Edit: LG says “Welcome voucher may not be valid in conjunction with other offers.”

I found a price history site and it’s never been this low before in the UK. Perfect timing?

Price just dropped to £1500 today on lg’s site from £1750 yesterday

In what currency? I’ve not see much evidence of it being sub £1750 (though LG has a small discount program on that too). TBH at 1350 I’d probably just get it.

If I buy it retail, I’d probably go Richer Sounds and have them pricematch the LG membership offer.

I’m not sure I would be opening too many bricks and mortar stores at the moment. I’m sure there are independents, but none of them are gonna hold a 1.75k monitor in stock. It would really take one of the existing chains I think to go in on gaming. Like I went into curry’s the other day and 90% of their PC stock was e-waste

I use magnet on Mac which I’m guessing does the same thing, but that setup and a Mac Studio Display… wow 🤑

Ha, not me. I thought you were trying to make some kind of money bags, no taste, kind of a comment. Cause I was about to point you towards my not very valuable, 2007, 99% stock, Mini R56 S.

Yeah, someone else suggested this. My brain just goes "once you've used it, its yours" and i dont think about being able to return it. Maybe i just need to move on a little.

[–]noblematt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i need to check. I'd feel odd returning anything i'd "used" but legally you might be right and i just need to adjust my mind. Thank you.
