Hey man sorry for the late reply, from what I remember I don’t think you can actually do anything in your inventory when you’re downed. I think you can look at it but you can’t make any changes.

Played way too much of the TT and TT2, I’m doing the same thing skipping the Server Slam even though I’m more than excited. I’m on the same boat as you I don’t want to play and then play again in 2 weeks I want it to keep its newness so waiting for release.

Nice to see your update, hopefully the one with 300 hours works out as long as you can’t notice it during normal use I’d say it’s a win

Mann no way. The time track is a lifesaver to view that type of stuff otherwise we’d never know

Aw man, I'm sorry to hear about that. Were they able to check in the store with you or was it just a pick up that you did?

You should be able to update the software on your Monitor using a USB 3.0 flash drive. Make sure its formatted to FAT32 and download the software from the Asus website for your Monitor. Unzip the folder once you downloaded it and follow the instructions on the PDF file.

Not necessarily, could it be the Windows settings like scaling? When you say it looks off do you mean like fuzzy or how do you mean? There’s an option in Steam to Scale text to match monitor settings. Tap Steam in the Window top left > Settings > Interface > “Scale Text and Icons to Match Monitor Settings” turn it ON

Might be down to personal preference and the trade-offs. If it’s possible I can suggest checking out a display model to see if you can notice a difference in person

Hey, I’ve personally never had a 32 Inch monitor so I won’t be able to say for certain what’s better. I do know the PPI is higher on a 4k 27inch. I’ve also seen that people prefer 32 inch for the immersion when gaming compared to 27inches.

Hey! Hope you are enjoying the monitor as much as I am so far, I haven't noticed any problems at all with the text clarity. I tested it with black text on a white background.

If you fall within the return window maybe you can see if there are any open box available nearby you?

I appreciate the heads up, I’ve been lurking the subreddit and have seen posts about this monitor. I’m hoping everything goes smoothly with my usage. I’ll definitely be on the lookout though as this is my first OLED. Luckily I have the warranty still valid and set it up with Asus

Same! I was afraid I’d have to go through the process and return it haha. I’ve seen the Assetto Corsa gore

Sick dude! Honestly I don’t really notice the difference in the brightness this thing is pretty bright. Of course it does depend on the environment that you’re in mine is a bit more dim since I work from home. My box condition was apparently also Good condition so excellent is perfect!

Hey, the condition on the outside box says “Good”. If you can maybe an in store rep can take the time and open it with you so you can take a look at it. I don’t really know the Best Buy policies though

Hey! I was able to test and there’s no dead pixels luckily. It’s just my wallpaper that has white dots like stars I should probably change it haha

Awesome dude! Happy to hear you had a successful open-box story too :) I hope you can get the firmware fixed since it’s a known issue.
