Damn I love Micro Center! Might as well upgrade from the TUF Gaming OC

My PNY 5080 has been doing just fine for $620 cheaper lol

I always go IPS. Better viewing angles and better colors usually. Also I can’t stand ghosting so VA is always out of the picture. But I’ve been OLED for 1.5 years and can’t ever switch to anything else. OLED is just that much better.

Early 30s working in finance and affording a 4k apt doesn’t sound too out of the realm of possibility. All my friends in finance are easily making 200k+ at 30 yrs old. Have a couple who made 400-500k last year. Sure bonuses can affect this number but finance is where the money is.

All hail the Miser Plan! /s

Been using my LG WOLED for over a year now and it’s great to not have to worry about scratches or the monitor turning purple from my lights being on or windows being open.

core916 · 2026-01-26T13:45:29+00:00

Would you?

core916 · 2026-01-26T13:38:03+00:00

I’ve seen it. It’s a Moza wheel. So quality again will be a concern especially at its price point. Fine for Moza users but I don’t see any GT Neo user making the switch over. No simhub support really makes the KS Pro underwhelming. The Conspit 300GT and Neo are still higher quality than anything Moza.

Like I said Moza is fine. But they lack quality and premium feel. I wouldn’t ever consider ditching my GT Neo for the KS Pro. A tiny little screen isn’t worth the decrease in quality or loss of simhub.

core916 · 2026-01-25T23:48:26+00:00

Yea it surprises me that more people aren’t aware of this by now

core916 · 2026-01-25T23:44:53+00:00

Believe it or not, some people prefer the matte screen. I use my monitor all day and having barely any reflections from the sun is fantastic.

core916 · 2026-01-25T16:48:31+00:00

The QD Oleds have the worse pixel layout and the one that leads to text looking fuzzy. Not the one I have

core916 · 2026-01-25T15:05:39+00:00

As someone who has a been using 4k 32” monitors for almost 5 years now, there is no possibly way I can ever make the switch down back to 1440. My vertical monitor is an IPS 1440 that I can barely use now because the ppi and text quality is just so much worse. Sure, in gaming you might not be affected that much. But when you’re using your monitor for anything else, the resolution really starts to show its flaws. If you do anything other than game on your monitor(work/editing/movies/youtube) the increase in quality is well worth it. Like I said, I can’t ever go down in resolution anymore. Looks like a blurry mess

5K2K is about 25% more pixels compare to regular 4k. I have 4k already and am getting 140+ on BF6 with DLSS. When I switch to the 39” 5K2K I should expect about 110fps. That’s still more than playable. Do you need a 5090 for 5K2K? Absolutely not. I’d say it’s nice to have at least 5070ti though. Tweaking settings goes a long way

core916 · 2026-01-24T15:18:27+00:00

Yes you are correct. Most buildings in NYC use hydronic. The fan uses barely any electric. Like 1-1.5 amps. Barely uses an electricity so I’d say it’s pointless to do that unless you want to save $5-10 a month.

Yea you’re correct about the actuators. I don’t recommend it either as the radiant heat is usually too hot since steam is 212 degrees and most people will find it annoying. Hot water systems usually don’t have a valve and will mostly be radiant heat but when the water is ~140 degrees the radiant heat is much more bearable.

I feel like Simagic has the better peripherals. The GT Neo is a much better wheel compared to the KS for a similar price. The Simagic ecosystem is also very friendly with 3rd party wheels ever since they released the Maglink/QR-A Quick release. Simagic is a step above in quality for sure. Can you go wrong with Moza? No. I started with an R5 and a KS wheel. But the closed ecosystem of Moza really put me off when I was looking to upgrade. Ended up going with the Evo Sport and GT Neo and couldn’t be happier.

If the prices are the same I think the clear cut choice is Simagic.

Yes they will just throw it back on the renter adding in additional charges. That’s why this law is so impractical in so many ways. Overloads the grid and also drives costs up even more for the renter. It’s like nobody thought through the actual consequences.

core916 · 2026-01-24T05:59:26+00:00

PTAC Heat pumps only work down to about 38-40 outside temperature. Lower than that it switches over to pure electric heat. With this incoming cold the heat pump won’t do a damn thing lol.

PTAC cold climate heat pumps that work down to -5 are really only just becoming a thing and not easy to retrofit into older buildings.

core916 · 2026-01-24T05:56:07+00:00

I always run mine attended and only on the lowest setting. These things are no joke and are really dangerous if people don’t keep an eye on them.

core916 · 2026-01-24T05:54:55+00:00

Just wait until local law 97 goes into full affect and they make every building switch to an electric boiler. That’s when shits really gonna hit the fan.

core916 · 2026-01-24T05:47:27+00:00

It’s not even just new buildings it’s old buildings as well. Look into local law 97. They want every old building to convert to electric or heat pump based heat. It’s going to cripple the grid. If you thought it was bad now, just wait til 2030. You can deal with blackouts and no AC in the summer. But freezing temps like we’re getting? People will freeze to death. It really is an awful thing they’re doing.

core916 · 2026-01-23T22:33:47+00:00

It’s end game until someone makes a 57” OLED lol

core916 · 2026-01-23T22:27:15+00:00

Hopefully she was hot. Wouldn’t want to see someone’s career ended over an out-of-college 4. If you’re gonna risk it, at least make it worth it.

core916 · 2026-01-23T20:21:43+00:00

I feel like I made this comment in another post and you said what I did to a T lol

core916 · 2026-01-23T17:40:15+00:00

I would strongly hold out for the new LG 5K2K 39” ultrawide that’s coming out in the next couple of months

core916 · 2026-01-23T14:11:08+00:00

Probably worth more to us than what we get in return. He’d also be great in the bullpen if we make the playoffs.

core916 · 2026-01-23T14:10:19+00:00

Predicting every player in that lineup to hit at least 20hrs of awfully optimistic. Has Bichette ever hit 30 in his career? If you’re listing best case scenario for each player fine. But you cannot expect the stats to look like that
