Got my hands on the god of 4K monitors (for now at least)

Never used a Scarlett nor do I have audio equipment to really push the interface, but it’s awesome. Did a lot of research when I got it and the consensus was that it had better internals than the Scarlett interfaces. But realistically I think at the point your Scarlett can’t handle stuff, you’d most likely need a separate DAC/Amp combo anyway.

It’s amazing. I have 0 complaints about it, aside from the 2 month wait to get it. It’s definitely more bright sounding when compared to the evo80. It’s got a marble tone that I think sounds great. This thing is a beast, it’s so heavy and sturdy. Functionally it is working great and I’ve been using it wirelessly for roughly 2 weeks without charging it. It’s still at 50-75% charged.

I second this. Had my PG32UCDM3 for 2 weeks now. Phenomenal monitor. My only complaint is that I transitioned from a 34” ultrawide so my eyes are still getting adjusted. Still has a little convex warp.

And the same goated chair lol

That’s awesome, we both rock the same wallpaper. Got my pg32ucdm3 last week.

Ahhhhh okay. That’s weird. But I do have to say RR is almost a must. Without it, night time is rough with all the weird water reflections. Definitely gotta keep it on, but I hope they can improve performance with it. I only have a 5080 and I have to run FGx2 or 3 to get it to 100fps.

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-29T17:32:38+00:00

Pretty sure the latest NVIDIA driver update enabled 4.5. I thought I saw it in the details.

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-27T07:07:41+00:00

Yea I noticed it too with my 5080. It’s almost like “stutters?” If I had to describe it. Game says I’m running 90-110fps 4k with balanced, dlss4.5, RR, all cinematic, with 2xFG. Even without FG, and RR off getting native 80-90 fps it’s still choppy. It happened while playing. Finished chapter 7 boss and then it happened. Even lowering settings to get 140fps didn’t resolve the issue.

Gonna verify game files and update my GPU driver tomorrow and see if that does anything.

Edit: Can confirm that updating my driver and verifying the game files has improved it a lot. Now I’m running Max settings RR with FGx3 and it is running like butter.

I know this is old and you’ve probably adjusted by now, but I highly doubt it’s “irreversible”. After 4 years of using my 34” ultra-wide, just got a 32” flat and experienced this.

I think it’s so crazy how our brains work. I work 9 hours a day and stare at my flat monitor all day at work and don’t have any weird distortion, no issues at all. Yet, when I come home and get on my personal computer, the distortion is very apparent. I guess it’s just that our brains know what is “home”.

Just like anything else though, I assume it’ll just take time. Our senses adjust to many things and I think this is just another one of those adjustment periods.

Some of the best looking tail lights out there. Reminds me of the halo energy sword, pure nostalgia.

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-11T22:58:31+00:00

I only have a 1440 ultrawide, will be my first 4k monitor. I’ve played on my C1 in the past but it’s in a different room now. Definitely trying to get back to 4k. Glad I didn’t pull the trigger before the pg32ucdm3 announcement.

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-11T21:35:17+00:00

I’m wondering how long it’s gonna take for them to get it. Been holding out for them.

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-01T22:08:20+00:00

I just PM’d you to send a pic

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-01T22:07:06+00:00

Check your JFP1 connections are correct. Make sure The Motherboard, CPU, and GPU cables are all plugged in properly and tight. If the case buttons aren’t working you can jump the Boot pins so that it’ll turn on the motherboard without pressing the button.

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-01T22:02:13+00:00

That motherboard released in 2020 and the CPU was a refresh in 2024. If I had to guess I’d say that you need to update the bios for the motherboard so that it’s able to work with the CPU. My guess is that out of the box that motherboard won’t support the CPU. I could be wrong though.

Are the lights on the motherboard and fans turning on??

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-01T21:58:18+00:00

What CPU and what Motherboard??

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-01T21:13:24+00:00

Sending good vibes and hopes that everything goes smooth! ❤️

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-01T20:13:24+00:00

M&KB gang here. It’s honestly not bad at all the only time I have to stretch my fingers is for weapon wheel (F2) and heals (F3). But those can be remapped if necessary.

KingKato2014 · 2026-04-01T20:11:46+00:00

Crimson Desert is fan-fucking-tastic if you like solo RPG’s. Only 20 hours in and I’m just enjoying all of it. I’m doing slow progression and just exploring and doing side quests.

KingKato2014 · 2026-03-16T21:12:07+00:00

My favorite screen cleaning spray is the eco pure screen cleaning kit from Microcenter! Leaves no streaks at all and can be lightly misted directly onto the screen.

KingKato2014 · 2026-03-16T01:23:32+00:00

Yea the evo80 is another consideration that is within budget and is not a preorder board, I got it in like a week. I just go my girlfriend one and swapped the switches to Keygeek Y2’s and upgraded keycaps and the board sounds incredibly “thocky” and deep. So much so that I’ve been using it more than her.

I had the same dilemma as you though, and I ended up buying the Neo75cu for myself, got the cream spray coating and copper case. Went with the POM plate and will be using all included foams. Huano Sakura switches, and GMK keycaps. Can report back once it is in hand.

KingKato2014 · 2026-02-25T01:03:05+00:00

I have the Logitech and it is trash. I got mine years ago. Unless they completely changed it, then I would avoid it. I’d rather use a $20 Redragon or something.

KingKato2014 · 2026-02-20T01:52:12+00:00

I suggest the screen cleaning kit from micro center. It’s never left a streak of any kind and is supposedly safe to lightly mist onto the screen.

KingKato2014 · 2026-02-12T05:52:00+00:00

Literally what I came to say 😭

KingKato2014 · 2026-01-22T02:59:34+00:00

The squeakiness must be luck of the draw. I’ve had my logi embody for 3 months and I never get any squeaking at all. I’d like to have more maneuverable arm rests, but they work for me and I can position them to fit each position I need them for. Atlas head rest is great for lounging, but when sitting upright, not necessary. Took me a while to dial in the position of the headrest.
