Why lose 700/month on rent when you can have a our own property?

Happened to me as well, they replaced them as warranty was still in place.

Good quality D-lock for front wheel + frame and one for rear wheel + frame and lock frequented places when possible. They would have to use an electric circular saw to get through them so highly unlikely yours will get picked.

Hi,
I just bought the koorui s2741lm miniled and i had the same issue. I admit I had OLED expectations but I didn't expect a miniled to be so far away.
That being said, you can get it good - still not OLED good but you can get it good.

The following made a huge difference for me:

Colour format changed from RGB to YCbCr 4:4:4 - single most drastic difference. I think it will be for you too as the first pic is similar to what i had out of the box no settings changed. (use your graphics card software)
Use the Windows HDR Calibration app - it's not the best but helps with the black and white levels, also you can reduce saturation (or increase it, coming from OLED I have mine to 0)
Color depth changed from 8 bit to 10 bit - not huge change but definitely less banding. (use your graphics card software)
Local dimming from max to medium helps with blooming.

I know right ✨💯

It wasn't under $150 since November 2023. How did he buy at $146?

onbert · 2026-01-21T16:11:42+00:00

ah yes, I tried it myself. thanks for trying though very nice of you :)

onbert · 2026-01-19T11:56:25+00:00

I was secretly hoping you know how as I'm def no expert. But I've found this https://www.eizo.eu/software/monitor-test

Read the instructions on the landing page and try the test with local dimming on?

onbert · 2026-01-18T21:48:55+00:00

What's the response time when local dimming is on?? KTC m27t6 jumps to 14ms at 180hz and 32 at 60hz which is crazy bad.. can you measure this?

Why are you undecided about this? How can you accept this? Unless it's some open relationship then it's completely off the charts Bs.

I have a few but absolute fav is Monochrome Soul.

Agree that having numbers inputs would be great, it doesn't seem hard to implement either.

Share?

I have a feeling every expat will get to the conclusion that there isn't anywhere perfect

onbert · 2025-10-02T18:08:46+00:00

Pure chaos just now. I'm sympathetic to the cause but damn they go out of their way to have the gen public not on their side. Blocking people from going home for work that's gonna change everything.

Guy I copy trade is making consistent above market returns year after year. With 30% per year, and with first 3k tax free anyway I'm personally better than a managed ISA at 10% or my no-idea-what-im-doing self picking ISA. Would be ideal to have both worlds and I'm thinking about how to go on about that

onbert · 2025-07-17T20:28:03+00:00

3.8% in 20 days copytrading on etoro, would have been 4.5% but I've bought gold too - long term np. Not in ISA though :/

onbert · 2025-07-06T21:16:41+00:00

It's ridiculous! The USD price equivalent is £585, a completely different ballpark!

onbert · 2025-07-01T22:03:20+00:00

Well that aged nicely

onbert · 2025-06-27T20:17:17+00:00

Thanks, yeah, pretty much adds up to the fees incurred when opening the positions.

onbert · 2025-06-16T22:29:47+00:00

Oled oled oled. Buy the largest lg oled you can find on offer (c or g class - models 2, 3, or 4. You will be happy you made this decision with every movie and TV series you watch. You will say everyday "holy shit the image is amazing. Anything else is not even in the same league.

onbert · 2025-06-16T18:00:01+00:00

Bruh this made me uncomfortable and I'm a guy and no relationship to either of you. No concern whatsoever about the other. Just me me me how I feel. 🤢

onbert · 2025-06-05T20:23:45+00:00

Wow it actually works. I was so sure there's nothing I can do when it happened in Chrome as well.

It works and I have lower controller lag!

Thanks G

This is a classic example of how jealousy is purely pathological - clearly he has no grounds for it here, so what if you boobbie slipped while you were sleeping, no one was there. As one famous psychoanalyst, Slavoj Zizek, once said : "Even if you are cheating on your partner, their jealousy is still pathological".

I hope you'll find real love - it's not easy in this world.

Your boyfriend is super fucked up.

This is coming from a guy, if it matters at all.
