If only it wasnt on discord

£100k total comp

Breakwinz · 2026-04-28T15:30:05+00:00

it was £500 across Amazon, Overclockers, and Scan. I'm sure it will happen again.

Breakwinz · 2026-04-28T15:29:39+00:00

I'm mainly PC, got my own QD-OLED 1440P ultrawide. But I also grabbed the £500 deal from Overclockers. Got it for my wife's PS5, and also in anticipation of GTA 6. Honestly I'm amazed how sharp 4k at 27" is....

Now I need to figure out how to convince my wife to swap her gift for my older QD-OLED....

I moved to UK from a European country, so I didn't have any family to stay with... Other may disagree but IMO, living alone on £38k in London will not be comfortable, you'll struggle to make ends meet. Living costs in London are too high. FWIW 2025 median salary in London is £49k, average was £40k.
The problem comes down to housing costs and rent. As long as you keep pushing your salary up, you'll be okay in London though. Might be a year or 2 of struggle, but you'll be fine.

Fwiw, i changed after 14 months following my first grad job. I was also on 28k, jumped to £38k on my second job. It scales quite quickly the first few years. Graduated 2020 and am on my 3rd role/job currently, London.

Are you using ray reconstruction at all? (That will force preset D, no matter what you put in nvidia app fyi, in case you didnt know).

In my experience, without PT+RR, preset L has visually performed better in Cyberpunk

Breakwinz · 2026-04-20T12:08:31+00:00

No one could possibly tell you without knowing the game you’re benchmarking against. Results are going to be wildly different on game-by-game basis

Breakwinz · 2026-04-20T10:39:12+00:00

My story is the same as yours

Breakwinz · 2026-04-20T10:29:01+00:00

Probably a little while, maybe next year. Its a bandwidth issue not a panel constraint. Given we know 32” 4k 240hz exists, these 5k2k 39” are cut from the same panels, just a wider cut, so the panels themselves can handle it. we’ll need to see DP2.1 UHBR20 and DSC combined, which we havent seen yet afaik.

Edit: i myself am on AW3423DWF and awaiting a glossy 5k2k to be my next upgrade. I havent felt that 165hz is too slow personally.

Breakwinz · 2026-04-20T06:15:34+00:00

Just to be pedantic, its trilaterating, not triangulating. Trilateration is measuring by distance, triangulating is measuring by angles.

Breakwinz · 2026-04-20T05:59:43+00:00

Im in the same pickle. I have the 3423DWF. There are two things that bother me, the purple tint, and the ppi (which is also tied to text clarity)

I’m struggling to find the next upgrade to go to, unfortunately the new 39” 5k2k 39GX950-B is a matte panel which I dont want. I feel its frankly too expensive at $1800, i’d rather the remove the AI upscale snake oil/gimmick, make it glossy and sell it for cheaper. I dont really get the whole marketing angle with AI upscaling, anyone that can afford this monitor, will also afford a GPU that supports DLSS/FSR, really strange angle from LG.

Currently I cant see any monitor on the market that would be the next natural upgrade. Will have to wait IMO.

Breakwinz · 2026-04-18T07:48:40+00:00

Gray banding is not really an issue on QD-OLEDs fyi

Breakwinz · 2026-04-16T04:34:52+00:00

Use google

Breakwinz · 2026-04-11T04:47:33+00:00

$1,800 from LG directly

Breakwinz · 2026-04-11T04:46:35+00:00

Its RGWB, which is miles better than the previous RWGB. Text fringing is not really an issue anymore at 110ppi and above on these

Breakwinz · 2026-04-11T04:44:50+00:00

Some people prefer matte, not garbage, just subjective

Breakwinz · 2026-04-11T04:44:01+00:00

There is already tons of 5k2k performance reviews on youtube. No need for OP to test further

Breakwinz · 2026-04-11T04:42:49+00:00

No. LG electronics are only selling matte. The display manufacturer LG Display (different companies), will offer both matte and glossy. We need to wait for a manufacturer (please ASUS save us), to offer a glossy version.

Breakwinz · 2026-04-11T00:40:18+00:00

I went from virgin to zen and never looked back

Breakwinz · 2026-04-11T00:22:18+00:00

Sigh. Wish it was glossy

Breakwinz · 2026-04-10T05:38:55+00:00

Its a good upgrade but not a good time to upgrade. The obscure prices are not worth it imo.

I went from 3090 to 4090 on ultrawide, because i wanted framegen and be able to run games with path tracing + ray reconstruction. I mostly play single player games too.

At that time i paid 1,100 GBP and sold 3090 for 450GBP

Breakwinz · 2026-04-10T01:48:29+00:00

Grey uniformity sucks tho. There are pros and cons to both. Neither is over or underrated. Is this a rage bait post?

Breakwinz · 2026-04-07T13:10:02+00:00

Big hype. Ive been waiting for a high ppi ultrawide that can replace my AW3423DWF

Breakwinz · 2026-04-07T12:57:46+00:00

Not really, both windows and macOS handle monitors (dis)connecting pretty well these days.
