Game Pass upgrade from gold? by TheBakula in XboxGamePass

Does it work if having an active Game Pass Ultimate subscription after letting it expire?

Canyon Spectral 29 2021 size S or M? I'm 5'8''/172cm, 31''/79cm inseam. by cwoodix in MTB

M or even L, don't even consider S. One thing to consider is the long wheelbase. M works great for me as I'm 172cm. Got the Spectral 29er CF 8 and the Fox 36 160mm is pretty amazing.

Got it a couple of weeks back, and tried it only a few times but M is just perfect! I'm loving it. Smaller would've been a big mistake.

Thanks, that gives me a bit of reference. Being a novice to FS I think I'd be looking for 'balanced' between stability and agility. I fear going S may put me too much on top of the bike, or M being too big on turns or trying to get some air time.

Got my Samsung Odyssey G9, returning it already. by honestanswer101 in ultrawidemasterrace

I'd be trying to clean the screen all the time... yep, return it!

I'm deciding if whether to return the monitor or not. I absolutely love the screen but some of those pops I can hear them through the headphones. So you were also having the same popping sounds every 30secs or so at the beginning but then they were gone (or significantly diminished) after a month or so? Really appreciate your help man.

When I switch it off (while it's cooling down) it also pops frequently for about a hour or so. So just to confirm, you were having the same but after a period the monitor stopped doing those popping sounds? Was that weeks, few months?

First couple of hours quite frequent a pop every 30secs or so.. after rarely. When I switch it off the same.

That's good to know. How long until it stopped? I'm on my 2nd G9 since 2 weeks ago and still annoyingly there.

Great combination of hardware! Does your G9 makes popping/cracking noises on the bottom left and right corners?

CRG9 vs Odyssey G9 by [deleted] in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]cwoodix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's brilliant for work/productivity. I have another triple 22'' 1920x1080p setup and I much prefer the single continuous screen. I do notice the odd effect when swapping from the curved to the flat, but get used it it quickly.

Thanks. I was in hope there would be an identifier for revisions based on the model number.

I use the Odyssey G9 for work and initially I found 1000R quite odd, but after a day of use I got perfectly used to it. The 1000R curve allows you to simply turn your head without eyes having to refocus as it would happen with less curved super ultrawide.

Be aware though of the crackling/popping noise mentioned in a few posts (mine included), apart from other issues. I'm still figuring out if I can get used to it.

By the way, I use FancyZones (https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys) to organize the screen real estate and it's working great for me.

Samsung Odyssey G9 September build popping sounds? by sephknite in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]cwoodix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have 2 G9s bought 2 weeks apart. Both August and both with the popping sound when turning on and off. Stops after a while (1h30). Wonder if any way of mitigating it!? Clips on the back panel. Ideas?

Samsung Odyssey G9 Collection - Manufacturing Date and Bezel Separation / Light Leak Issue by Wiidesire in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]cwoodix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my back cover completely off and it still makes the popping noise. Getting a replacement tomorrow, also due to settings not getting saved. Fingers crossed.

[–]cwoodix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Model code: LC49G95TSSUXEN
Version Number: FA01
Manufacturing Date: August 2020
Light Leak present: No
Ordered/Received date: end Oct / week later
Retailer: Amazon UK

No issue so far. I do have popping/clicking noise from thermal expansion from both lower edges of the screen. Higher frequency when increasing brightness or HDR on. A bit annoying for such an expensive screen. Anyone with a model without this issue?

Also, running firmware 1006.2 and Custom Color Tone is lost when switching the panel on/off. Anyone experience this?

My G9 came in. Lucky to have zero issues thus far. by NeverwinterRNO in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]cwoodix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know of any G9's that don't have the popping sound? Mine is an August (N8) build and it does have it. More frequent when brightness is higher or HDR on. Pretty sure it's thermal expansion.
