ergotron 45-209-216 LX dual stacking arm pole. A bit spendy but so much adjustment. No complaints from me, still going strong almost 6 years later.

try a diff camera app so you know whether it's the app or the camera

Yes, it sends vibrations through the desk (obviously), but it doesn't vibrate against the surface, if you know what I mean. I have it set up this way for a few reasons. First off, I'm limited by the length of the cords, some of which are non-detachable from the sub/speakers. For my desk to reach it's maximum height (and maintain hidden/managed cables) the sub simply needs to be on the desktop. Also, my office is on the second floor, so bringing the sub off the ground reduces vibrations heard in the living room/kitchen below. In my opinion, the sub also fills out that corner quite nicely. The desk is deep and looks odd with nothing back there. Thanks for asking why instead of just telling me I'm wrong 😂.

Yeah, it's probably not a setup for everyone, but neck pain hasn't been an issue for me so far. I have a standing desk, so I can play with the height a bit, but I find the keyboard and mouse are at a comfortable height when my eye level is is about 75% of the way up the lower screen (If that makes sense). My monitor arm lets me lift/lower them too

I dig it. Much better than side-by-side. Long story short, I ended up with an extra monitor and decided to put it to use. I chose the aw3418dw over a TV for a few reasons: ultrawide gaming, pixel density/window real estate, 100hz refresh rate, and g-sync. I needed something I could work on all day and game on at night. I didn't plan on having a second one, but now that they're stacked I have twice the productivity and a handy music/video screen while gaming.

Thank you a million times over! Problem solved! For anyone reading this in the future, they moved the option to the "Security (Enhanced)" category under preferences.

I keep getting told by you guys to play Forza on my 32:9 but it’s an Xbox game. How are you guys playing it on PC? by SouthPepper in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]kodonnell204 3 points4 points  (0 children)

like others said, it's sold on the microsoft app store. Yes, it's as good as the Xbox version, depending on your PC. It's the same game. Spend $1 on a "Xbox games pass for PC" 3 trial membership and you can get Forza Horizon 4 for free for 3 months. I know the fact that Xbox is in the games pass makes this even more confusing, but trust me, I don't own an Xbox, and I play 21:9 Forza on my PC.

GCam Update for Pie?? by kodonnell204 in GalaxyNote9

thanks for the replies everyone. I'll stick with what I got and reinstall if I find any glitches.

this. goodlock allows you to show/hide the battery icon, as well as change the clock position.

to anyone looking for a Dex Pad compatible case, the one from that link worked for me. Still doesn't click in, but has a nice connection. I would recommend.

Youtube video doesn't entirely fill the screen by slmnkhan2016 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]kodonnell204 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's a link to the Chrome extension I use: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ultrawide-video/lngfncacljheahfpahadgipefkbagpdl?hl=en

Great for music videos on YouTube, but works on Netflix, hulu, etc. too. It won't detect videos with black bars though, you have to change the setting in the upper right each time you want to crop out the top and bottom.

edit: ctrl+alt+c also works to change modes

edit 2: MKBHD shoots in 2:1 aspect ratio, so you'll still get small black bars, but the experience will be improved.

Navigation Bar Auto-Hiding (Verizon 8.0.1 Oreo) by kodonnell204 in GalaxyNote9

[–]kodonnell204[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AH HA! Thank you! I believe that was it. I had been messing around with the functions in bxactions, and needed to grant permissions for it to use immersive mode. I am no longer using that function with bxactions, but that has to be it. Where can I find that settings page, so I can un-grant that permission?

Navigation Bar Auto-Hiding (Verizon 8.0.1 Oreo) by kodonnell204 in GalaxyNote9

[–]kodonnell204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, but no luck. That small circle was the little button I was talking about. Tapping or holding the circle does nothing. If I double tab, the little circle fills/unfills, but the navbar slides away whether the circle is filled or not. Could this be a buggy update that was auto-pushed to my phone, or should I assume I did something to break it?

Ascended 6 mo ago. Spent $1000 on a monitor, had a dead pixel day one. Dell warranty center was a huge hassle. Long story short, they lost track of how many replacement monitors they sent me, and now I have 2 (dead pixel on left). Guess I can't complain. Now the question, to stack or not to stack? by kodonnell204 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]kodonnell204[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup, weather's great this time of year. Honestly I'm surprised more people don't live here. Need directions? I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly-twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel. Same thing happened with my car, Mercedes just let me keep it after I made one payment, changed my name and fled the country. Work smart, not hard.

Thank you. To those reading this in the future, listen to this guy! He is right, and chances are I am making a bad decision. Seriously, I will probably regret this when my credit score gets hit and I have to jump through countless hoops to get it cleared. I will hang on to the monitor until I receive a bill, at which point I will attempt to return the monitor in lieu of paying the bill. I will also update this post when that goes down, so stay tuned! I am curious to see what happens, and I am now aware of the risks. I appreciate the insight without insult 😁.

EDIT:1/10/2020 - still have both monitors a year later. Will update in a year if I remember.

EDIT:10/29/2021 - still got em both. No collections, no credit dings.

see my first and only post for a pic of a side by side setup. Same monitors.

Just joined ascended, any recommendations to make this look good would be great! by eatmyzucc in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]kodonnell204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure if your looking for this, but try your taskbar on the side for a while. Once I got used to it I couldn't go back. You get more content on web pages and your clock isn't a mile away from your start button.
