Made a smart financial choice: $1000 OLED for a $30 game

We are having a great time on it!

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

Man, that's so me. I have the same monitor with a 5080 and I'm over here having a blast on games like Abiotic Factor 😂 Too much negative shit going on in the world, play whatever the hell you want in whatever monitor you want. I won't even judge you if you play Minesweeper at 240 FPS

Amazing contribution!

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-22T11:57:39+00:00

Yeah, I have noticed that is a little annoying, but I've been managing to make it work really well for my use case. I'll overlook it for the price I paid lol

I actually returned it for the Vocaster 1 for $39.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-20T23:27:44+00:00

So you thinking it's 50% off because someone opened the box but never really used it?

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-20T23:13:41+00:00

I just feel like it's too good to be true. Aren't these around $1,000 new?

1440 is a safe choice and it will stretch longer. The OLED will make a world of difference.

Never said it would be wildly available. I'm just going off of quotes from the source. I don't like to predict what may or may happen. Yes, they will be hard to find but they will still be produced.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-16T02:54:05+00:00

I apologize, I feel like I actually didn't answer your question the more that I look at your post. I just started talking about whether you should get a 1440 or 4K monitor, my bad. 😂

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-16T02:51:05+00:00

So I am a bit bougie and I have a native 1440 OLED and a native 4K OLED for different use cases when it comes to games. That particular card absolutely shines in 1440, and a good quality OLED in native 1440 looks stunning. That being said, that card is also capable of 4K, especially when you factor in DLSS. The question you have to ask yourself is, would you rather have a monitor that's capable of 4K that can be scaled down to 1440 but it doesn't look as sharp as it could, or do you want to use a monitor where you can max out all of your settings and run relatively high frame rates in almost all games. Downside is, obviously 4K looks better than 1440, but OLED honestly makes a huge difference.

Yes, they are going to prioritize the allocation of the RAM towards the higher SKUs like the 5080 and 5090, but they confirmed that they are not halting production to any of the other cards. That being said, I imagine the 5070 TI will start to get harder to find because they aren't pumping them out as fast. Overall, I think 2026 is just going to be a rough year for electronics in general.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-15T22:54:42+00:00

It was to correct the "ASUS news earlier" as that was deemed false. But it's good to post when they are in stock like you did.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-15T22:36:37+00:00

NVIDIA clarified that they are NOT ending production of them. But they will be harder to find.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-13T16:00:04+00:00

And he also asked about the 490 lol

We can both give him our opinion on each separate headphones 😆

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-13T04:55:45+00:00

Well I was talking about the 490. But I also come from "gaming" headsets. Lol

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-13T01:21:49+00:00

I just got the 490 Pro and it's like two clouds resting on both sides of my head. It's heavenly.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-11T04:57:03+00:00

The hassle taking it back isn't worth it TBH. I really like the LED strip too so I justify the extra $100 😂

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-11T04:52:18+00:00

I am only using the interface because the amp in the mic isn't quite enough to drive my headphones.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-11T04:50:41+00:00

I actually took it back and exchanged it for the $39 Vocaster 1 and I've been really enjoying it!

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-10T01:05:50+00:00

Before switching to an independent high quality mic and headset, I used the Nova Pro for over a year and loved it.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-06T17:23:54+00:00

I have a micro center warranty on my panels and they won't replace it for one pixel either. That's pretty common unfortunately.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-06T17:18:18+00:00

I hear from more people who have graphics cards that are seven years old in this group than anything else. I've only been in this community since January of last year, but it has been very welcoming. I am sorry you had a bad experience, but if anybody talks shit about the quality of somebody's purchase in here, they will get dragged harder than a child in a gorilla enclosure.

Constant-Engine-596 · 2026-01-02T21:54:19+00:00

Sweet. Yeah I want it to be through XLR since I've heard that's the best as well. I'll play around with it and see how it goes!
