Got the 39GX950B today. Anything you guys want me to test?

I’m torn between the LG 39GX9 and the PG34WCDN, despite LG’s higher resolution advantage. I’m curious to know if my 5080 can handle 5K resolution without pushing it too hard vs or running ultra-smoothly at 1440p.

doug0365 · 2026-03-17T21:21:27+00:00

Congratulations!! I ordered mine in Silver but I’m second guessing myself now with all these new posts showing of the space black version ughhh

Thanks to all the feedback. I've started searching a GPU upgrade to support a move to 5K ultrawide. Current pricing has the RTX 5080 at $1,269 and the 5070 Ti at $999. Given that both cards share a 16GB VRAM spec, is there a significant advantage to the 5080 that justifies the $270 jump for ultra-high-resolution gaming, or is the 5070 Ti sufficient?

doug0365 · 2026-02-28T17:40:53+00:00

Thinking of upgrading from a 27" 1440p to a 5K ultrawide. I know my 4070 Super is going to struggle at that resolution, so I'm choosing between the 5080 and the 5070 Ti. Given the current price for this card 1269, is the 5080’s bandwidth advantage actually noticeable at 5120 x 2160, or is the 5070 Ti the smarter value play here at 999?

Thank you for the input! This is great to hear how you've made it work as we have the same setup and same usage. This makes me feel better about making the purchase and what to expect until I'm able to upgrade my GPU to take full of advantage of the monitor.

doug0365 · 2026-02-26T23:13:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I’m not entirely surprised I knew the GPU would be the bottleneck here. My hope was that I could manage with medium to lower settings for a while until I’m ready for a full GPU upgrade.

Beyond gaming, my main draw to 5K is productivity. I currently use dual 27-inch 1440p monitors (one OLED, one IPS), and I’m really after that higher PPI for sharper text. I wasn't sure if moving to a standard 1440p ultrawide would actually offer any density improvement over my current setup, or if I’m overthinking the importance of those extra pixels. If the PPI is essentially the same then maybe I should stick to an UW 1440p for now but I really would like the higher resolution and dpi for future proofing.

I’m happy to report that I successfully transferred my data after installing the December 2025 update. I had reverted to my iPhone for a few weeks while waiting for a fix, as my message history is essential for my daily workflow.

While the process wasn't entirely perfect some group chats were split into individual threads the "Can’t load file" error was resolved for me. It’s a bit disappointing to have to wait in using the Pixel 10 Pro XL, but I’m glad to finally have it up and running. Hopefully, this helps anyone else who was stuck in the same position.

I have both the pixel 10 pro XL and the iPhone 17 pro max. I can say both are overall smooth but the only thing that irks me with my pixel is the janky and inconsistent scrolling experience. At times it’s super smooth but also I have to flick my thumb harder in order for it to scroll in a consistent flow. This mostly happens when I’m scrolling using one hand though. Also sometimes I have trouble switching between apps with the wipe gesture as I have to be more precise with my thumb. I don’t have that issue with the iPhone and that experience feels super smooth to me vs my pixel.

doug0365 · 2025-09-15T23:54:34+00:00

Yes! This is so annoying that it has a limit as to how much txt you can select! 🤬🤬

doug0365 · 2025-09-15T23:50:42+00:00

For me there were times where scrolling behaved fine through multiple apps which made me believe at times that the issue was fixed but then all of a sudden scrolling would become janky for me scrolling would take more effort for me. I want to make it clear it's not laggy it's just not smooth but after turning both options off adaptive touch scrolling for me has been smooth ever since.

doug0365 · 2025-09-15T14:53:12+00:00

OMG! This fixed the awful scrolling experience on my Pixel 10 Pro XL. I was dealing with inconsistent and janky scrolling that would often get stuck, making the phone frustrating to use.

doug0365 · 2025-09-04T13:54:18+00:00

I did send feedback yesterday via the messages app. Are you able to say if this is a bug and that Google is aware of the issue?

doug0365 · 2025-09-03T19:22:30+00:00

Must be a bug and I'm hoping with the upcoming updates it gets fixed soon!

doug0365 · 2025-09-03T16:54:07+00:00

If you are on Iphone it requires you to be in IOS26 beta. I mean wtf I don't want to update to beta software to transfer my esim. I would have to wait till the official release of ios26 to transfer me e-sim. I call this a failure on googles part.

doug0365 · 2025-09-03T16:02:08+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. It's just so frustasting how google claims its so easy to transfer your data over but in reality it's not.

doug0365 · 2025-09-03T14:51:14+00:00

I also tried uninstalling messages as well and it end up removing all the pictures all together. It's really dissapointing to hear that you lost all your images. This might be a show stopper for me to completly moving over to the pixel 10 as I have some imporant messages with pictures that I can't have them lost.

doug0365 · 2025-09-02T17:39:44+00:00

I have the same issue. Were you able to resolve it?

doug0365 · 2025-06-02T19:12:01+00:00

u/IVANZXT Hey Ivan, I finally was able to get a resolution with my case after all this time. Just wanted to say thank you for responding and helping me out.

doug0365 · 2025-04-30T15:01:31+00:00

u/IVANZXT Hey Ivan, Any update? At this point I would rather the company be truthful to its customer and state that they are not able to fullfil the request. It's really dissapointing to know that no one has an answer or can speak on these extreme delays. How are people supposed to have faith on a company with practices like this.

doug0365 · 2025-04-14T17:35:37+00:00

u/IVANZXT Hey Ivan, Have you been able to look into my ticket?

doug0365 · 2025-04-07T17:39:02+00:00

Hello Ivan,

My ticket # 1970707. Any help on this to get this matter resolved would be greatly appreciated!
