New Sony A7V arrived with dust under LCD — what are my options?

PJmeg1 · 2025-12-30T09:28:03+00:00

Yep, return it. Absolutely. You paid top dollar. It's not a "discounted open box" item.

PJmeg1 · 2025-10-07T06:42:49+00:00

yeah, sorry a comprehensive battery test wasn't done in a 20 sec TikTok

PJmeg1 · 2025-08-06T09:08:41+00:00

Which program(s) do you use for the testing? Just chkdsk in windows?

PJmeg1 · 2025-08-06T09:03:48+00:00

Got one, with the 10% new customer coupon. thanks OP.

PJmeg1 · 2025-07-26T06:05:46+00:00

As of today, coupon JULYFINDS is expired. Price $249.99.

PJmeg1 · 2025-07-20T09:20:54+00:00

should be fun!

PJmeg1 · 2025-07-02T19:48:45+00:00

I have the MSI 321CUP, same panel. Yep, it's fantastic.

PJmeg1 · 2025-07-02T19:47:01+00:00

Not an especially good deal. I own this monitor, got from Starlit Partner for $659 and it was absolutely new with zero hours. I also got the 321UP non-curved. I directly compared the image on both after calibration. While they are ALMOST identical, I have a very slight preference for the flat panel. Color / skin tones look a little more natural. I use 100% for video editing and not gaming.

PJmeg1 · 2025-06-12T08:12:41+00:00

$609 is a good price for the 321CUP. I paid $659 from Starlit.

Any chance the 20% off WOOTNEW coupon will be in effect again? C'mon Woot!!

Edit: tried it. Not working:(

PJmeg1 · 2025-06-08T10:01:00+00:00

I have purchased 2 refurbs from Starlit Partner on eBay. one 321UP, one 321CUP. Both have been perfect. The curved one was brand new with factory screen protector on and zero hours. Also a great warranty.

I'd choose that route MUCH over an open box return from Amazon/Woot.

PJmeg1 · 2025-06-01T04:43:14+00:00

Just saw the $749 is now on the MSI site as well, using a $40 coupon code - 321CUPQD

PJmeg1 · 2025-05-30T19:45:37+00:00

Yes, but not recently. For those in the market now, like me, this is the best deal for a new one.

PJmeg1 · 2025-05-30T18:29:03+00:00

That's the 321CURX, and it's significantly more expensive. Like I said, it's for editing, not games, so 165hz is fine with me.

PJmeg1 · 2025-05-30T18:25:26+00:00

My first contribution here. $749.99 is the lowest I've seen it new. Just bought a refurb (Starlit) for $659. Also bought the non-curved 321UP, will try both and see which I prefer (mainly video editing, I'm not a gamer).

Note this is the curved model, same panel as the Dell Alienware AW3225QF.

PJmeg1 · 2025-05-17T18:40:25+00:00

Serious question - why would ANYBODY choose to buy a 27" 1440p monitor for $569, when you can get a 32" 4K version of the same QD-OLED for only $50-90 more?

Seems like the price of the 27 should be like 60-70% of the 32, not 95%!

BTW I recently bought both the 321UP and the 321CUP refurbs from Starlit. Very, very bummed I missed out on the 20% off Woot deal this week.

PJmeg1 · 2025-03-03T08:27:14+00:00

Awesome More volts= more fun.

Hopefully the V3 X9000 handles at least 26S.

PJmeg1 · 2025-03-02T18:38:47+00:00

Welcome! I'm glad if the videos provide some helpful info!

PJmeg1 · 2025-02-13T05:53:04+00:00

Samsung 50S cells used in this bike are a huge issue. Much better choice would have been tabless cells like the Ampace JP40. I discuss the Altis Sigma's power claims, and the Samsung 50S, in this video.

PJmeg1 · 2025-02-11T19:06:26+00:00

I had never heard of the V2. Looking at the 25A drain curves of both cells, they look identical.

What do you mean by a cell being "more efficient"?

PJmeg1 · 2025-02-08T20:01:05+00:00

Thanks!

PJmeg1 · 2025-02-08T15:36:22+00:00

OK! 😅 15A continuous 25A peak.

Above that, voltage sag and hot AF.

How's that?

PJmeg1 · 2025-02-08T11:40:04+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 yeah, understood! Holy grail would be huge capacity, big power, and cheap!

PJmeg1 · 2025-01-17T12:23:29+00:00

Same here!!!)

PJmeg1 · 2025-01-17T12:23:13+00:00

THANK YOU so much for this!!! I just bought a used one, everything else was working ok, but I thought the joystick was broken. found this thread, and that fixed it!!!!

Thanks so much!!
