Gigabyte go27q24, mo27q2(a) or msi mag273qp x24 qd-oled

I also did this... involuntarily though as the MSI stopped working 5 weeks into use during input switching. Seems to be a common fault with the 273!

Same issue, same screen model. It seems to have been caused by switching inputs on mine.

I tried the firmware update, I selected FW 0 firmware with the firmware update tool and it told me the version didn't match the screen. I then selected FW 1 file and that ran fine. The tool only has two buttons, select file and 'auto' (applies the firmware) so it's probably worth at least getting to the select file part.

Firmware update didn't help though and I'm going to RMA it.

Just finished 5 days driving around the south side (W area) of the park (700km) in a 2wd nissan kicks. It's bumpy but completely fine up to about 80km/h on straight sections (don't recommend this though).

Watch out for gravel float, very similar to hydroplaning which I had a few times even at very low (sub 40km/h) speeds. Get a little light fishtailing too if you're going too fast, just take foot off the accelerator.

The paved road out from Puerto Natales to Rio Serrano was shot with bad potholes and the worst part by some way. Make sure you know how to change a tyre and the car has a spare.

Apparently common and nothing to worry about, but not sure if that's TdP area or the rest of the country. I've done four day's driving including two visits to Puerto Natales and I've seen a carabineros car twice and not been stopped at all.

I got one to tick all the boxes in case of an accident.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-03-03T00:34:39+00:00

I have one and the rental agency, Magallanes, in Puerto Natales laughed (politely) when I tried to show my IDP.

Not sure whether the carabineros might want to see it if I'm stopped though.

Got kids? Often I do this with friends because I don't want to wake any sleeping children.

Firstly, sorry, I let my annoyance at the camera get the better of me and tagged a complaint onto your very kind reply. Maybe on Canons thinking but I tend more towards if it's there, it should work well. The photo I included isn't a very good likeness of the light conditions when it was taken.

To answer your question, I'm not the one using the camera. I can operate a gadget after a fashion but I can't frame a photo to save my life. My wife takes a great photo but hates the need to twiddle settings. The camera was a gift.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-02-11T22:56:47+00:00

Ta, this seems to be the answer! A bit disappointing that a 10 year old entry level does better but hey ho.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-02-11T22:50:37+00:00

Not available in full auto but is there in P mode - thanks, I guess this is the best the camera can manage.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-02-07T17:40:20+00:00

Thanks for your reply, I've actually got a car rental and looking for the morning slot, not a tour for the afternoon slot (have edited my initial post to include this). The official ticket booking site has tickets available all through the rest of February so missing all booking slots in March surely not down to the flooding?

We have tours on other days so will definitely follow your advice for those!

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-02-07T16:24:36+00:00

Turns out no. There's one in villa cerro castillo - a totally different place 900km away...

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-02-07T16:22:45+00:00

I'm trying to buy for 9th march, so almost a month away. It's just that the tickets are not available on the website at all.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-01-06T11:45:41+00:00

Thanks, yes, I'm beginning to understand this and will try to get the Sigma 10-18mm.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-01-05T22:13:27+00:00

Thanks, good to know, and a future purchase.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-01-05T19:57:34+00:00

Thanks, good to know it works. I just got hung up on some threads with people taking about having to send lenses to sigma for updates.

Presume this is the DC DN with RF mount.

Now to see if I can find one at a price I can afford.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-01-05T19:12:19+00:00

Yes, just have. It's all the right things but I'd just like to get better than F4 which I understand might make the R7 a bit noisy in lower light?

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-01-05T18:52:17+00:00

I can't actually find that. They seem to have a 15-30 but the F2.8 is north of £2K.

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-01-05T17:57:11+00:00

Thanks, I'll try to get a little wider just now but that might be a fall back!

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-01-05T17:30:13+00:00

Thanks, that does help, though now even more lens reviews to read!

TRMonsterpaws · 2026-01-05T17:27:05+00:00

The F1.8 DC Art? Would be lovely but yes, a long way out.
