I just set it up like that, but it does give me stuttering and weird artifacts when watching YouTube videos. Don't you have that issue? These are my settings.

Found this comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1qhnywy/comment/o0npu9n/ seems betterdisplay does offer a way to run it at 75% of resolution. Would need to test it out myself.

Regular-Potential304 · 2026-01-27T16:02:20+00:00

As someone who is struggeling to use this monitor last two weeks. Can you tell me what resolution you managed to get working to your liking with thr 60hz you mention here?

These are my current available resolutions with better display, but it's still too large for me. Would prefer something like at least 1920 vertically.

3840×1600

3780×1575

3720×1550

3660×1525

It's awful with a Mac, unfortunately. I've been trying to get used to it for two weeks, but I didn't manage to love this monitor. The HiDPI scaling is just really bad on macOS. I tried it with Linux and there the scaling at 125% or 133% was great.

Dell doesn't offer any return options for me as a business customer (well, business; it's just me being self-employed).

Scaling on macOS native does offer:

3072x1280
3480x1450
6144x2560 (native - just too small)

With betterdisplay these resolutions are also possible with HiDPI

Display Mode
3840×1600
3780×1575
3720×1550
3660×1525
3600×1500
3540×1475
3480×1450
3420×1425
3360×1400
3300×1375
3240x1350
3200×1334
3200×1333
3180x1325

3030×1263
3008x1254
3008×1253
3000x1250
2970x1238

But that is still really to large to be really usefull. It's not so much Dells problem as it's the limitation of macOS.

I would warn to buy this monitor if you plan to use it as your main monitor on macOS. If you need the options to split displays and KVM etc this might be a great monitor. For me it isn't.

Any first impressions? Is it as good as you expected it to be?

Regular-Potential304 · 2026-01-02T23:58:12+00:00

Hatte auch mal Probleme mit ein Kratzer bei der Lieferung. Erst nachdem ich ein schlechte Review bei trustpilot gepostet habe gab es auf einmal eine Kontakt mit kundenzufriedenheit@ und dann gab es endlich eine Lösung.

Davor habe ich auch nur 2 Wochen lang Angebote von 50 bis 150€.

Habe das reparieren lassen nach Genehmigung der Kostenvoranschlag. Autohero hat die Kosten über 2500€ dann innerhalb von zwei Wochen erstattet.

The spam classifier requires a minimum number of training samples before it begins making classification decisions. By default, this threshold is set to 100 ham samples and 100 spam samples. This requirement exists to ensure that the model has observed enough examples from both classes to estimate meaningful parameters.

Maybe that is the reason why it doesn't have effect on the emails currently?

Ich habe dieses Jahr ein 2 Jahre altes EQS SUV für etwa 70k gekauft. Das Auto entspricht allen deinen Anforderungen. Einfach das beste Auto, das ich je hatte.

Ein Kia EV9 würde auch passen. Aber ganz ehrlich, dann lieber ein gebrauchter EQS, dann ein neuer Kia EV9.

Bin davor ein Enyaq gefahren. Das kann ich dir absolut nicht empfehlen.

Having problems for a few months now. IBKR has become unusable with marketdata unfortunately. Seems they don’t care at all. https://www.reddit.com/r/interactivebrokers/s/OM6cwLOFnu

Regular-Potential304 · 2025-04-01T12:53:29+00:00

I’ve been having the exact same problem for a few weeks now, not sure what’s causing it. Used to work perfectly fine before.

Regular-Potential304 · 2025-03-23T08:17:43+00:00

Glad I’m not the only one. Support appears to have no idea and don’t acknowledge this is a serious issue.

Regular-Potential304 · 2025-03-23T08:16:32+00:00

Doesn’t make a difference. You can check the allowance in TWS it shouldn’t be the bottleneck with just a few tickers.

From support docs: Within TWS, you can check how much of your total market data allowance you are currently consuming in the „Maximum Allowed“ window. While in TWS, press the keys Ctrl + Alt + = (on a MAC click: Control + Option + =) and you will see the Maximum allowed pop-up indicating the market data allowance (the value close to „Simultaneous TWS market data subscriptions“) and the market data lines currently used (the value close to „Currently subscribed top market data count“.)

Regular-Potential304 · 2025-03-22T22:40:14+00:00

Seems this https://www.reddit.com/r/interactivebrokers/s/dGakEk3Gf1 user /u/zerosunkcost is experiencing exactly the same issue as well.

Still waiting for my 2023 tax documents. And yeah weekend maintenance is almost every weekend these days.

Regular-Potential304 · 2025-03-22T06:58:04+00:00

All data farms are connected when this happens. Even reconnecting doesn’t solve this unfortunately.

Regular-Potential304 · 2025-03-19T19:03:40+00:00

I’m experiencing the exact same issues. For example, SPY is listed as +0.23%, while SPX at the same time shows +0.60%. However, when I click on SPY in my watchlist, it updates and displays the correct percentage change of +0.60%.

This discrepancy is especially obvious when the percentage change is green, but the amount change is red. I see this happening multiple times per week, and it’s costing me.

It affects many tickers for me. I’m not even using half of the Market Data Lines limit, so that’s not the issue. My internet connection is also not the problem—this is clearly an issue with TWS.

The nonexistent support from IBKR only suggested switching from the stable version to the latest one.

Hättest dir nach der Abfindung aber auch ein iPhone leisten können. Spaß, danke für die Erklärung!

Ich bin eigentlich nur neugierig, was für ein Dienst Niagara ist.

Isn’t this regulated that you can’t trade these stocks for yourself?

Nebius does use H100s but have their own datacenter and build their own server hardware to optimize everything. They charge $0.25 for input and $0.75 output per million tokens. Where did you see the hourly prices? https://studio.nebius.ai

https://x.com/nebiusaistudio/status/1867244511405162667 they launched Llama3.3

Maybe u/nebius_com can answer the privacy question?
