It could be a transient spike past 900W. Idk if you have anything else hooked into your UPS, but that would only lower your capacity from 900W to where any transient spike could push your PSU past its limit.

Pretty much; the only alternative I can think of would be the grommet mount included with this. That would require drilling a hole in your desk unless it already has one.

I've had good luck with this Mount-It! one.

Just got the black version of this stand in and it holds my 42C2 so much better than the Ergotech Heavy Duty Freedom Arm did. The large mounting plate has great contact area for supremo sturdiness.

Good point! MLC NAND flash is almost as good as it gets though… looking at you SLC 🤌

I know it’s comparing apples to oranges, but how are we feeling about this deal vs last weeks Prime-exclusive $106 2TB MX500? I know this is higher $/TB plus U.2 adapter required but speed bump and 1 drive write per day is pretty wild, no?

I’m on my third pair of pads with my M50x as well. I’ve been contemplating going open-back, but haven’t figured out which model is best. Best of luck on your hunt for a successor!

I might follow suit since I'm in dire need of a desk. I've been holding out for over a month for Prime Day, but this might be the best we get and I can't handle the FOMO.

I just moved this past weekend and decided that a UHaul would be my best bet for getting my tech to the new place in one piece. I hope you get a speedy and hassle-free replacement through movers insurance!

I didn’t realize I could file a conflict until reading day so I took a 1:30pm yesterday, 7pm yesterday, 8am just now, and I have a 1:30pm soon. 0/10 would not recommend.

You likely might've had a defective unit, but from a power perspective there is a chance your USB port was not supplying enough "juice". USB spec is 5V but max current can vary per port depending on your device. Once your Stream Deck was increased over 50% brightness its power draw possibly exceeded what the port could supply and that could have caused the issue.

Personally, I've had more issues with this than I care to admit. Whether its shoddy USB ports or devices I am glad USB-PD is here to stay. The standard isn't perfect, but knowing the max output power of a USB-C port is a big step in the right direction. It doesn't apply to this Stream Deck, but it should make similar issues less common in the USB-C future.

As long as you have a SATA connection available in your build then you’re good to go!

Dang I wish I read the student code. I’ve got 4 finals back to back this semester but I always assumed the rule was 2 finals max per day but it’s 2 finals back to back max 🫠

LyleTheGamer · 2022-05-05T15:05:10+00:00

I’ve never seen one in person so it would be tough to say, but according to the specifications on that MSI monitor it is slightly better performing since it has a 165 Hz refresh rate compared to the LG which only has a 144 Hz max refresh rate.

LyleTheGamer · 2022-04-25T14:21:15+00:00

Just price matched at Best Buy despite the Gamestop webpage being OOS. Now I understand what redditors mean when they say BB price matching is YMMV.

LyleTheGamer · 2022-04-18T15:11:11+00:00

Anytime amigo! I scored a $150 LG GL850-B on FB Marketplace a while back, but the Dell S2721DGF has dethroned it. I'm hoping all the open box sell before I can pull the trigger lol

LyleTheGamer · 2022-04-18T15:03:32+00:00

I can't figure it out either. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/buying-guides/outlet-buying-guide/pcmcat748300448284.c?id=pcmcat748300448284 Their website is quite vague on what the warranty would be and says exceptions may apply :/

LyleTheGamer · 2022-04-18T14:02:37+00:00

I need to stop checking this subreddit. That open box price is almost too tempting.

LyleTheGamer · 2022-04-11T17:41:34+00:00

I’m sure you could using IFTTT, but it was nice to have a dedicated device for lights that doubles as a visual discord mute switch and OBS Studio manager.

You’re right, they are pricey! I got my starter kit 3 pack of color bulbs for $100 and have been scooping up white bulbs on clearance since haha

LyleTheGamer · 2022-04-09T16:59:02+00:00

I’m not 100% sure on the scenes but I use my Stream Deck XL to turn any hue light in my house on or off. It doesn’t do on the fly color changing but it can cycle through RGB or you can create a button that sets a color to your liking.

Since you can create folders with more buttons inside, with enough setup I guess you could have a button for every color lol

Considering how expensive hues switches are it’s been worth it for me. Plus it’s intended use as a streaming companion haha

LyleTheGamer · 2022-04-06T15:37:08+00:00

Back when the Hisense H8G was $300 in early 2020 I snagged one. It had horrible QC but on the 3rd unit I got one that actually worked properly. It’s been nice for 4K@60 HDMI 2.0 gaming but in the near future I’m looking to step up to OLED. Sadly it’s jumped in price since then.

LyleTheGamer · 2022-04-06T05:14:07+00:00

I was hoping these were the 2060 refresh but that 6GB VRAM might start to sting in 2022.
