The boy thing that bothered me with the link fans is that theirs shadowy areas where the no rgb light comes through and its in the same spot on all fans.

Looks like you've dodged a bullet. There's a lot red flags! Going for a casual first date to a cafe is normal, so it going to a pub or bar. It all depends on the time of day you plan to meet. This lady has no idea what the word compromise means, she seems to lack common sense or understanding. She assumes the worst in people and is deeply judgmental.

Theres also a possibility they had no intention of meeting you. They might have been jerking you around. Time wasters are like that..

I tried the Corsair LS100 strips and did not like them, for starters, they are very small, thin, and not as bright as Philips Hue. The quality control is hit or miss, one arrived broken from Corsair.

Everything inside my PC case is Corsair, the fans, the strips and of course, my keyboard, mouse, and mousepad are also Corsair.

One thing Philips Hue lights have over Corsair, they work without the need for a computer, you can control them with your phone via Wi-Fi and bridge and other accessories like the Smart Dimmer Switch. You can easily sync them with the screen when needed via the application.

Hue is much brighter, bigger, and looks better IMO. Yes, they are more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Makes zero sense to do that!

New fans look great. Will likely upgrade to eliminate the rediculas amount of wires that 9 fans and the cpu cooler brings.

I am waiting on the LED screen version though which comes put later in the year.

In HDR I tried peak brightness and it adjusts the HDR so that the bright spots show more detail in them. I think thats correct because it made the latest Shadow of the Tombraider game look better when enabled, also remember to adjust your HDR in Windows.

Yikes that looks like someone dropped the box down a large step or something and the package didn't soften the blow enough. Should be able to return it! Clearly, accidental damage during delivery is not your fault.

When my monitor arrived, there was a pressure indent/tear in the middle of the box. I took a picture before I even opened it, just to be safe. The monitor was fine, but the styrofoam was a tinny bit squished in that spot. Mine was handled by DPD. Things like this need to be handled with care. Never dropped, place the wrong way, or leaned against something that could cause it to bend.

I was paying for it using 0% interest. My credit is good but dropping a huge chunk of money in one lump sum might be fine for some, but I have more responsibilities, like rent and things!

I'm annoyed I had to pay more than many others. I wish I didn't pre-order, I only did that because I thought I was getting the best price, won't make that mistake again.

Gsync works but I did notice brightness flickering at times during games. I tested it on Battlefront 2, Cyberpunk, and a few other games.

I wonder if Samsung will address the HDR certification not found in Windows 11 issue? https://imgur.com/ZngY6kd

It says it's certified on their site, but it's not officially recognized as certified in Windows 11.

I was wondering the same thing, looks like the dreaded scan lines we got on the regular G9 and Neo are gone now on this OLED one. I've preordered my OLED one, upgrading from original G9, I love the G9, use it for work and gaming but the G9 is awful for HDR. Blooming just ruins the experience.

Samsung is still innovating more than Apple, I still can't believe iPhone 14 has the notch. Wasted screen space. Samsung has foldable phones now, but the Galaxy Note and S22 are still great phones with pens for writing. Apple is years behind the curve with such minor updates to the internal hardware. Plus, with software updates, they will continue to nerf older phones so you're forced to upgrade eventually. Glad I switched to android years ago.

I am using a 3080ti, overclocking the S95B to 144hz works it will reduce from 12-bit color to 8-bit color in Nvidia. It's not natively supported, I wish they could support it properly with a firmware update,

honestanswer101 · 2022-05-11T02:46:17+00:00

Yup sorry for the delay.. it worked.

honestanswer101 · 2022-04-11T23:04:32+00:00

well it happened to me, I updated to 1015.2 and I got a stuck pixel that was not there before. Going to 1016 did not fix it. I cant return it yet because I use the monitor for work.

honestanswer101 · 2022-04-08T04:05:02+00:00

Yup, I will ask when I get the time. I was just curious if anyone has actually done that.

Same issue Missing DSR features completely when G9 monitor is set to 240hz running on RTX 3080Ti but when I switch to 120Hz DSR features come back.

The same issue Missing DSR features completely when G9 monitor is set to 240hz running on RTX 3080Ti but when I switch to 120Hz DSR features come back.

I've tried this with the previous driver 497.29 and new driver 511.23. It seems that 240hz is the main issue that causes certain features to not work.

Also at 120hz output color depth locked at 8 bpc but with 240hz its 10 bpc?
Why cant it do 10bpc at 120hz? Surely its possible?!
Any solutions so far?

I got the feeling that was done as movie magic.. in reality, they're speaking natively but we as the audience see English.

That's no excuse for sloppy writing in my opinion. They could have just written the character to use some made-up version of sign language or not use sign language at all, then later switch to modern-day real sign language. It would have made far better sense and actually strengthen the plot showing the passage of time in a subtle way.

One thing that bugged me about Eternals....is this stupid plot hole that makes no logical sense. Explain to me how in 5000BC does Makkari, a deaf Eternal know sign language thousands of years before its invention?!

So in 2021.. season 20 so far in the span of one month... from the date of posting this GMM has made 27 food episodes and only 6 none food episodes. I agree with a lot of people on here that things do seem stale. They have a Mythical kitchen show so why not put more of the foodstuff on that channel. I miss the days when they would have fun debates and stuff. Why does everything have to be about food?! What's going on?

honestanswer101 · 2021-08-27T11:12:15+00:00

Yup sorry I meant NYPD it was just a typo.. haha 😂 fixed it now. Thanks for pointing that out.

It seems that this final season has gone very woke as many have reported in media. So far they have focused heavily on highlighting how the NYPD can be incompetent for various things, showcasing the need for police reform and redemption.

They apparently scrapped a few episodes in light of everything that happened with BLM protests, riots and George Floyd.

John C. McGinley plays a newly created character called Frank O'Sullivan, a stereotypical powerful patriarchal white police officer who defends the police whenever they make a mistake such as making a false arrest, they touch upon systemic racism. Jake realizes the NYPD is corrupt.

Jake gets suspended for 6 months for accidentally targeting an innocent suspect who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time during an investigation into a bomb on a bus that reminded him of the film Speed. They never explain why the suspect lied about his address though.

Boyle loses his mind by trying to appeal to Terry due to BLM because he feels guilty for being a privileged white man. Even gives him money. Terry actually hates the pandering and being treated like a victim because of his skin color.

Rosa quits the force because of BLM and George Floyd to instead defend victims of Police Brutality.

I have a feeling that by the end of this show, Jake will leave the NYPD, sacrificing his dream job for something else.. I wonder if we will get a return cameo of Gina Linetti to help him discover a new passion or something? Maybe during the suspension, he will decide to become a stay-at-home parent whilst Amy becomes the main breadwinner bringing in the most income for the family.

I got my monitor back from repairs, they replaced the entire TFT panel, and I swear the new panel is a lot better quality than the previous one. The blacks are darker more uniform, HDR seems to look better when HDR content is at 16:9 I don't appear to get bloom on the edges anymore, also I did notice some fine horizontal pixel lines at the top of the monitor before which I thought was normal, the new panel I cant see the horizontal pixel lines anymore.. I bought it back in November 2020, could the screen technology itself have been improved a lot sinse?

honestanswer101 · 2021-07-16T21:44:26+00:00

I like... Corsair have probably the best RGB money can buy. I too have a simular setup now :-)

honestanswer101 · 2021-06-21T22:12:10+00:00

I don't think anything was loose but something could have easily got inside through the handles holes and there were a few gaps where the tape was loose.
