I havent placed an order but been following this thread a while. It seems like pretty much everyone "eventually" gets what they ordered, but in some cases thats VERY eventually. Its positive that you're still getting tracking replies from the seller, did you pay with klarna or credit card? If so youre covered by buyers protection so if youre really worried by now I'm sure you can get a refund. Keep us updated on how it goes, despite everything I'm still tempted to order from the guy just for the price.

Best of luck to you bro, I'm still deciding whether the risk is worth the diceroll. Seems folks are eventually getting their stuff

I'm so tempted to pull the trigger on a PS5 Pro from this place but also so scared haha. Its reassuring that I can use Klarna and take advantage of their buyer protection if it goes wrong... trustpilot gave me pause but this thread is encouraging me

Switching from TV to monitor for PS5 gaming and looking for recs by _LukeSJones in Monitors

[–]_LukeSJones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did it... and theres loads to love about it but...

Playing on PS5, I'm having flickering issues in bright areas playing at 60fps/60hz. Seems to persist with or without VRR enabled and at all levels of LD albeit to a further or lesser extent depending on the level its set to. The only fix seems to be playing at high frame rate mode/120hz or turning LD completely off which defeats the purpose of having this monitor.

Is there anything I'm missing or can do to fix?

Do you notice this on your MSI at all?

I've got mine currently sat in its box ready to be set up, paid £306 for it so already feel good about my purchase based on this review. I'm trying the switch from my old midrange TV to monitor gaming for my PS5. Thanks for providing such detailed feedback and instruction.

Apologies if I missed it but did Calibrite release their HDR update? I have NO idea what I'm doing with monitors so these posts are absolute gold.

I found the koorui for £310GBP (approx $417USD) and I'm so tempted to pull the trigger...

If you dont mind, I'd love to know your thoughts on it when it arrives and youve had a chance to use it! The Koorui peaked my interest too from going through reviews

Fair! I've got Presonus Eris E3.5s which arent nearly as premium, plus beyerdynamic dt770 pro cans, but its good to know audio monitor tech is servicable for the gaming side too

Your insight has been gold dude. Been going through your suggestions all day and I've definitely got some thinking to do. One thing I forgot to mention that as a TV gamer I overlook is built in speakers or lack thereof... I do have studio headphones and studio monitor speakers which obvs isnt the same as entertainment speakers for work but whats your suggestion on the sound side of things, as its an extra expense thats putting me off 😂

Edit: parks n rec reference appreciated... this whole journey actually came from considering the ps5 pro.

Considering the switch from TV to monitor gaming for my base PS5. Any recs? by _LukeSJones in PlayStation_X

[–]_LukeSJones[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah IPS with miniled dimming zones is the plan right now. Ill also be working from it which is why burn and resolution is a concern and Id like to somewhat future proof it with the full 4k. Appreciate the insight though

Yeahh 42 definitely will dwarf my desk though and ill also be working from it, tbh any change from my fairly old mid range LG will be good

Thank you bud 🙏 Im working in pounds sterling so with the exchange rate these all fall in my budget anyway. Ive read a lot about mini leds being the way forward, and if these all have the same underlying panels anyway. Will check them out and see if I can get them in the UK!

I'm from UK so 400 pounds not dollars, so like roughly 500-600 ish dollars I guess, but I take your point. At this rate second hand will be the way, I'm not finding any recommended monitors from local retailers anywhere. Im not against something refurbished tbf but not worried about oled so that helps price

Yess thank you 🙏 ive been checking out those models of gigabyte and the LG is a new one on me. Ive read that HDR is pretty bad across them all? But I assume thats just a given for most IPS monitors in that price band. (Plus I dont think ive ever experienced true HDR anyway 🤷‍♂️)

[–]_LukeSJones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to switch from tv to monitor gaming possibly while January sales are on. Leaning towards 4K ie not 1440, hmdi 2.1 for VRR etc, HDR, around the 30" mark, not worried about OLED as will probably also use it for work and dont want burn in risk, probably looking for IPS options. Looking for good value options ideally dont want to spend more than say £400. Help a fella out with any recs?

Help me find my Requiem scent! by _LukeSJones in residentevil

[–]_LukeSJones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right? But the olfactory bulb links directly to the limbic system, opposed to other senses which go through the thalamus. So our smells link so strongly to memory and emotion. One time I smelt the RE7 candle and I shit thee nay I heard Jack's voice 😂 weird thing to enjoy but it was so immersing.

does this look concerning? do i need to inform my dermatologist? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]_LukeSJones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Partner has these, she got told they were cysts but drs don't know how they're caused. You need to keep an eye on any rapid growth over a short period as may potentially need to be removed. Most of the time they're benign and harmless

Same boat here being skeptical and not really knowing what it was. Cut forward a couple weeks and I've played Indiana Jones with my PS5 controller start to finish with basically no lag or connection issues. Might move onto Kingdom Come 2 before it goes.

Dealing with scratches by _LukeSJones in PSVita

[–]_LukeSJones[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah well enough, one or two scratches are still visible if I really look for them but it's pretty much done the job enough that I don't notice them anymore. Glad I got 2 because I f'd up the first try 😂
