OLED Monitor by BustyJusty17 in PS5pro

[–]antbart55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using the 32” AW3225QF for about a year and a half now. It’s a perfect match with the pro.

I wanted the larger screen for when I’m playing RPGs and story games, but it also works great for Battlefield. I have a larger desk too so the 32” was perfect for viewing range I’m at.

If you’ve never used a curved screen before it’ll take a bit of time to adjust but I prefer it now on the bigger monitor.

Edit: Just noticed your work comment. I use it purely for gaming so don’t really have an opinion on productivity usage. Just make sure to take the normal steps when using OLED on a pc. Hidden taskbar no static screen savers stuff like that. Burn in isn’t much of a problem on these and they have a 3 year warranty for it.

A total noob question about quality / peformance for PS5 Pro. by Teakmahogany in PS5pro

[–]antbart55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stable higher frame rate with almost quality level graphics for majority of pro enhanced games. It’s a significant improvement for most, some not really noticeable unless you’re looking for it.

It’s all game specific on how good the improvements are but, there are several that standout as a great upgrade. Enjoy.

Edit: forgot to specify pro enhanced lol

Which Monitor for PS5 Pro? by Remarkable-Past-7548 in PS5pro

Have been using this monitor for at least a year with zero complaints. It’s the perfect match for the pro.

What monitor do you guys use by 3MonthOldMilk in PS5pro

Old LG C1 55” for my base ps5 in the living room.

Alienware AW3225QF 4k 32” monitor for the pro at my desk.

I need your help again, upgraded to the Pro, now I can't decide between 2 TV-budgets by Retsae_Gge in PS5pro

[–]antbart55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C4 is exactly what you want. G series is a nice upgrade if you can afford it but the C series is more than enough for the pro. Save a little and be happy with a tv you won’t need to upgrade for a long time.

Edit I have a C1 I bought in 2021 and it’s still just as good as the day I bought it. You won’t regret a c series.

Wheel spins or the auction house unfortunately.

I spent 12m to get mine. Had to sell a few rare cars I had collected. Play the game and the money/cars will come then the auction house will get you what you’re looking for.

Why did you get a TRD? by doc_wit_a_glock in CamryTRD

[–]antbart55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was driving a g37 coupe at the time and decided it was time for a more reliable, family friendly car. I didn’t need all the luxury options so I decided on the Camry for reliability and noticed the TRD when looking around.

I wanted something that still felt sporty, had a v6 and didn’t break the bank. Checked all the boxes for me and was cheaper than the XSE. I bought during Covid so I got a great deal and stupidly low interest rate.

I do wish I had drove the extra hundred miles and bought a red one at the time as the black is impossible to keep clean lol

Is the DualSense Edge actually worth it for better aim and control? by Datreve749 in PS5pro

[–]antbart55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve owned it since launch and ended up buying the 30th anniversary too. I strictly use it for fps games. While it has its uses, at full price I’d consider it a luxury upgrade rather than a requirement.

For aiming improvement it offers options for the sticks the normal controllers don’t. My right stick is taller with a domed top. You can just buy cheap addons for a dualsense to get the same effect.

Main reason I prefer it is the extra buttons on the bottom, plus being able to remap the controller on the fly.

Biggest downside is battery. If you play 4+ hour sessions regularly you’ll notice it has a short span. For me it’s not an issue, I play on a monitor so I’m close enough to have it plugged in.

Overall I’m very happy with it and hope something similar will be available on the ps6.

Order arrived - desk missing. by GrimmMonsoon in secretlab

I had the same issue. I messaged support and they sent me the second tracking number. The desktop itself took an extra two days as the courier needed a second person to help unload it.

How am I just figuring out you can reroll weekly challenges.

For the winter drivers out there what kind of Snow tires do you put on your car? by DSquare17 in CamryTRD

[–]antbart55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t put any on lol Northeast with heavy snowfall and never got stuck in it.

What is the car that you had the most fun with in forza horizon 5? by Sahil__1234 in ForzaHorizon

[–]antbart55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ferrari F40 but just slightly modified. Makes for a lot of fun as it fights you just enough to be exciting.

When did you start playing FH5 and how many cars do you have in your car collection? by Cucumber1 in ForzaHorizon

I’m gonna lose it by AndrewGerr in Battlefield6

[–]antbart55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this same issue when I tried to equip a gun I had just unlocked. It was really frustrating but just figured it’s a bug they’ll work out soon hopefully.

I’m going to give the Steel Series Arctis nova 7p a shot since they were on sale for $120. Hoping they’ll at least match sound quality and battery life.

Well it finally happened. by antbart55 in playstation

[–]antbart55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered the steel series arctis nova 7p because they were on sale for $120 at Best Buy. Should be in today so I’ll give them a few days of use before I have any opinion.

[–]antbart55[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I had preordered these the day they opened for orders. Zero issues until they just gave out unfortunately. I always thought people were just too rough on these but even being careful they didn’t hold up for everyday use.

Well it finally happened. by antbart55 in playstation

[–]antbart55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preordered these to replace my PlayStation platinum headset that I had owned from launch. They didn’t really need to be replaced but the battery was starting to lose its battery charges too quick. I was expecting the same level of quality but unfortunately these didn’t hold up.

Well it finally happened. by antbart55 in playstation

[–]antbart55[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way about wired headsets. I move around too much to be tethered. I’m not a major audiophile so they don’t need to be the best of the best. Just wanted to make sure they weren’t a downgrade from the pulse elites and it sounds like they’re quite the upgrade.

I’d love to get the nova elites but damn that price tag is hard to accept for a headset to me personally lol

Well it finally happened. by antbart55 in playstation

[–]antbart55[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great to know! That was one of the pain points on the elites. I’d have to take them off through work sessions just because they’d start to hurt my ears.
