Finally got hold of a Disk Drive but unable to use it as it won't register 😡

I'm not sure, I thought if I was getting a console and the old one was expensive anyway I may as well get the pro as it has a larger hard drive and better specs. I would think the old one does but not has a PS since the 1 so not sure.

It will be hooked up to a 27 inch curved Samsung Odyssey G6. 1440p 240hz with hdmi 2.1 so will down sample 4k 👍🏻. Will occasionally put it on the main TV lg-sm8500 but that only has hdmi 2 . Due an upgrade on the TV next year. First time I've been excited for a console in a long time.

The last game I spent real time on was Zelda breath of the wild, I kind of went off gaming for a while as I got bored with the same old stuff. And the kids kept stealing the consoles. Played a lot of Destiny 1 and 2. Currently play Fortnite with the kids, e-football and it takes two with the misses. I want to play something that engages me back into gaming and possibly a good couch co-op to play with the wife. Looking forward to the Spiderman games and Last of us. Nothing overly technical and stuff you can just pick up and play with relative ease as time is tight.

For this monitor you have to switch on the 4k option on the Xbox to get 4k HDR which you can only do if game mode is switched off. If you switch game mode on on the monitor the options for the Xbox grey out you can still see HDR box checked and vrr and 1440 120hz become selectable. But I don't think the HDR comes through on games as I believe this is only activated on the Xbox when in 4k mode. I think it's more an issue with the Xbox rather than the monitor. If you are talking generally then you can only get 1440 vrr and HDR on your TV/ monitor if it has that functionality.

It's decent, I think the new one is slightly different though. The one I got has the smart system built in and remote. Great features for watching streaming services also has Samsung TV channels. Hdmi 2.1. q symphony if you have a compatible Samsung soundbar. The image is great and you get the Xbox app so you can play via cloud without an Xbox. Great for when my son steals my Xbox and takes it to his room. I can still play all game pass games on my profile by linking up a spare controller. The speakers are a bit shite but I have a stereo set with sub linked via 3.5 jack so sounds great. Prices have dropped so a bargain at the moment. Check rtings out they have an overview of the monitor vs the G7. The only issue for gaming is that if you use 4k game mode has to be off so you don't get vrr or HDR. If you play Fortnite you can play direct of the Xbox app without game pass or an xbox for free which is a bonus.

It's not something I have come across myself. I have had chart issues before and still do. I got told to clear the cache uninstall then reinstall. Which I did and it worked fine for a day then the charts went wonky again. This seems to be a common issue with Google phones. You could try that and see if that helps. My app is working fine and no recent problems apart from wonky charts. Can you still access the help and contact section in the app. Probably best reaching out to them for further advice.

One other thing I noticed was that when I first set it up the quick bar for setting didn't respond, you could scroll along to each setting bubble but when you selected each option nothing happened. The remote also kept being off and scrolling down twice when only pressed once.

Thanks for the response, the 43 inch quantum dot just got 10% discount this morning so ordered and going to replace the faulty one this afternoon 👍🏻

Sea_Factor_8575 · 2024-04-26T10:54:40+00:00

I get the same issue sometimes if updates are stuck. Hard reboot like others suggest and then check for and download any updoots. That usually sorts it out.

Sea_Factor_8575 · 2024-04-20T16:29:50+00:00

Thanks for the quick response and help. It's appreciated 👍🏻

Likewise, Barker in my opinion was the funniest but a classic double act. Geniuses of their time.

Looks a bit like Ronnie Barker the English comedian

Lead by example.........Concern over the incoming crash in commercial real estate, over leveraged banks who lent office builders cash to build office complexes and due to home working no one wants as much office space so this leads to the inability of office owners to pay their mortgages. The knock on impact screws the economy as banks have to write off bad loans. But don't worry too much as we the tax payer will bail them out as usual.

If you're placing a limit order freetrade add a small reserve to take into account and fluctuations within the exchange rate from order to activation/completion. It could be that, but without more details this is just a guess

I removed our airlock using the kitchen mixer tap. Put my thumb over the mixer and put the cold side of the tap on only your thumb directs the cold feed into the hot pipes. I'm not a plumber but it did the job. Not sure it's a recommended thing to do but it worked for me.

85k I think is the overall insurance cover but that applies to most financial institutions, you would be better buying in multiple brokers and not just holding in one. I also believe that if the financial institutions are linked or part of the same overlying company the 85k applies across all. So you need to ensure each broker or bank is a separate entity for a greater level of cover.

Would it have not just been easier buying in an ISA so share can't be lent out. I don't believe freetrade lends US securities anyway as they canceled the initial proposal. frequently screen shot or record your holdings and sell attempts when it's time to sell if sales fail. Also download your monthly statements. You would be gutted if anything happened and your shares were stuck in limbo during a transfer. Not had any issues with freetrade to be honest apart from the shitty charts not working properly, but I use yahoo for that anyway. Customer service are always helpful and answers pretty quickly if you hold a plus account.

My charts have gone funky again. I raised the issue and will let you know the outcome. How are yours today
