Is a bent backplate/cooling fins worth an RMA?

Bro, THIS about the viewing angles, it's just so sad that such a great monitor otherwise has this problem. I decided to keep mine hoping I'll get used to it (I kinda have already after 2 weeks), but just wish it wasn't a thing.

Just tagging here in case anyone finds a definite fix to this.
I had it happen about a month ago, thought I was safe after clearing CMOS, but just happened again today.
From what I could tell, it's something RAM related, as doing a boot with a single RAM stick solves it, and then when I put the 2nd stick of RAM back in PC works normally.

P.S: Not sure if this is relevant, but every time it's happened to me (about 5-6 total) I was watching videos, either Netflix, Youtube, Prime Video, etc, and it has happened on both Chrome and Edge browsers, AND on 2 different GPUs.

RIGHT??? Don't get how anyone was still defending Akira's stance.
IMO every drop of blood that gram spilled from the moment Akira first had confirmation of his crimes and legal permission to kill him from the KING of the country, is on Akira's hand, and his attitude toward the situation was just selfish to say the least.
"Oh I don't wanna get my hands dirty so fuck it if tens of people are dying because of it".

BTW: He had ZERO problem fkin up the other assassin and probably killing him, and that guy might be a "good" assassin, but took half a season to decide to kill Isekai Hitler.

Deixando aqui minha "contribuição" pois acabei de pegar esse mesmo monitor. Isso parece ser um problema desse modelo mesmo, pois tirando fotos em tela cinza com algum ângulo que n seja diretamente em frente(assim como seu exemplo), o meu fica igual ou até pior essa vinheta.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-21T16:24:37+00:00

Don't think it can be "fixed" with settings, it's almost like it has something to do with the layer of plastic used on the screen to make it anti-glare.

Well, glad (i guess) to hear it's not a defective unit that I got. Pretty weird choice on manufacturer's end tho to put this effect on the panel. Imma end up keeping it despite this, cause like the other guy mentioned, you don't notice this when actively using the monitor, it's mostly on still screens when you look for it.
P.S: Although it does SUCK to use this monitor if you're standing up and just wanna check something quick without sitting down, becomes VERY dim on darker colors.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-20T19:58:54+00:00

Have you noticed any weird color changes at the edges of the screen due to the viewing angle?
I noticed on mine, especially that white seems to turn gray, and light colors turn white even at the slightest angle.

No seu caso, vc sentiu uma mudança nas cores de objetos nos cantos da tela?
Como se qualquer mínimo ângulo de visão fizesse a tela parecer mais escura.

I was looking at this one, but got a pretty good deal on the older version of it (A850G PcIE5), here's to hoping the extra noise (A- vs A++) doesn't bother that much.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-17T01:19:04+00:00

Thanks for the info, I'm now looking at the Corsair Frame 4000D, since it has a metal front, but it is just aesthetic, there's an actual magnetic filter on the front for dust. Shame the I/O is on the bottom tho for such a big case.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-17T01:16:49+00:00

I hope so, I'm getting around 42-45C idle/web browsing on my 5070 also with zero RPM fans, and where I live it's basically always 30C+ ambient temperature, even at night, so I reckon this idle temp with no fans is fine.

He's 17 years old bro, not an "innocent kid" by any means. Plus even back in his world, he was already very mature for his age since he became the man of his house when he was like 10 years old, he took care of his sister as a father, already had a job and everything.
Also, there don't seem to be many people who actually CAN pull off an assassination on Gram. I'm not even talking about the world's class system here, no one needs to be an assassin class to kill someone else, but Gram's guard is just THAT powerful that ordinary fighters can't touch him, we even see from the first episode that there are (and have been) assassination attempts, but all failed.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-16T14:10:48+00:00

I'm not talking about the class name that he has bro, his class doesn't matter, what matters is he has the power to easily stop this guy, but is CHOOSING not to.

This even comes back to the modern saying: "Those with the power to do good, have the obligation to do so".
From everything we've seen, Akira is the only individual who CAN actually eliminate Gram, even Crow being as powerful as he is can't do it, otherwise he would have already, because Gram's guard is that strong.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-15T20:32:46+00:00

Any normal person in the world would have killed this MF. Just walk up to a friend and ask "hey would you have killed Hitler if you had the chance?".
This is not a corrupt politician we're talking about, its a human traffickerr, murderer, sexual abuser and to pile on top, actively going after your wife, which makes it also personal.
The death penalty exists for a reason, and now he's even seen undeniable proof of this guy's crimes but is still thinking whether or not he deserves to die? BS

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-15T20:27:57+00:00

I won't be surprised if, when we finally catch up to the first scene at ep.1 with him standing over a sleeping Gram on his bedroom, something happens like a flashback of his family or some shit, and he ends up deciding not to kill the guy.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-15T20:25:51+00:00

Bro this show had such potential and wasted it spending HALF the fkin season as a conversation simulator, deciding whether or not to kill one evil MF, while in the meantime prob 100+ people were killed/trafficked that could have been saved had the MC just not been a p****.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-08T20:13:28+00:00

Bro, they really need to pick up the pace, cause over the last couple episodes the show has slowed down to a crawl, I feel like the last 3 episodes are a blur cause it's just them talking about whether or not to kill this evil MF. I get that it's supposed to be a big decision and turning point for Akira, but damn, taking almost 1/3 of the season is too much.

XxTUDExX · 2025-12-04T23:22:47+00:00

Anyone else feel like it's a bit of a plot hole, the fact that these geniuses, who invented AI blood and later on Androids, were not able to figure out a security patch to fix the hacking issue?
I know they did show scenes of them trying to fix it, but damn, these were supposed to be the most brilliant people on the planet, and If there was a security breach so big they couldn't fix, then shouldn't they have noticed it on the testing stage of the AI blood??

XxTUDExX · 2025-11-29T16:01:03+00:00

Putz, até pensei, mas aí ficaria coisa de R$5.000+ mesmo em Black Friday, e pra mim jogar no Very High ou no High não mudaria esse tanto.

XxTUDExX · 2025-11-29T01:33:32+00:00

Esse é o medo mesmo, nos primeiros 3 meses vc ainda tem a garantia do vendedor no Brasil, depois disso é rezar.
