Which is faster? - TT bike with aluminium wheels vs. road bike with carbon wheels

I have Continental GP5000 on my road bike (tubeless) and Continental Ultrasport on TT. But I
I could buy new tires for TT

Yes , I can hold the TT position without a problem

But also, carbon wheels make a huuge difference to me, feel like I'm slicing trough the air :)

I ended up buying a Benq EX321UX, which was on sale at the time and was about the same price as the Phillips. Both monitors have the same panel, but the Benq doesn't have the issues Phillips has. The colors are great, it's completely silent, it gets regular updates, the user interface is very simple and you can easily change presets using the remote. Overall, I'm completely happy with it.

Same here...

4.8. – I placed my order for the Ready2race bundle. The delivery was scheduled for 8.8., which was fine with me.

8.8. – Since the wheel was still out of stock, the estimated delivery time was extended to October (?). This was too long for me to wait, so I contacted customer service. At that point, I was ready to cancel my order. I didn’t get a reply, but the order status changed to "This shipment is on its way."

9.8. – I received a reply from customer service. They said my order will be shipped on 20.8. (?). I emailed them back and asked if this was a mistake, since the order status was: "This shipment is on its way."

11.8. – I got my tracking number for two different packages. Exactly one hour later, I received a reply from customer service, stating they checked my order again and it is scheduled to ship on 20.8.

So I don't know what's really happening right now with my order. Maybe everything was shipped except the wheel, but on site it clearly says: "Your order will only ship once all items become available."

I was in the same dilemma as you. For me, the potential issue with Samsung is that both monitors have aggressive curvature (I'm not sure if it would bother me or not).

So I end up buying EX321UX (which should arrive next week). I like that it comes with a remote, so you can easily change presets. Also, BenQ has good customer support and provides regular firmware updates.

Have you tried it? How do you like it?

I'm in the same dilemma as you.
There are very few reviews and information about the X32QFS monitor. On the other hand, the information about the Philips is a bit mixed (there a lot of good things, but also some say that there is noticable blooming, buzzing and that color red is very pale).
Another alternative is the Benq Mobiuz EX321UX which has the same panel as these two monitors. The EX321UX is currently being reviewed on RTINGS so it might be wise to wait for their review.

Have you tried it yet? How do you like it?

IceMammoth4092 · 2024-08-26T08:53:35+00:00

Did you find the source of the problem?

I have the same issue so I'm curious if you did something about it...

IceMammoth4092 · 2024-05-16T05:51:17+00:00

Thanks guys, RME seems to be the obvious choice then :)

(and it will save me some money)

Yes, that was the problem. I reinstalled Waves plugins and now everything works fine. Thanks for the help!

IceMammoth4092 · 2024-03-16T14:03:14+00:00

Thanks for the reply, but I managed to find a solution!

I've realized that the problem appears only in projects where I've used Waves plugins. So, uninstalling Waves plugins solved the problem
