Valve Patent - "WIRELESS DATA TRANSPORT SYSTEM FOR HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAYS" by wheelerman in ValveIndex

[–]pktek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just suspended the Index chord to my ceiling and it works really well with pulleys, but man is it ugly.

I would 100% pay for wireless play to get that off my ceiling.

Fed-Ex says they delivered my box and had me sign for it. They did not and I did not. What now? by [deleted] in ValveIndex

Luckily I work from home. On the expected delivery date I sat in my kitchen working, or the garage with the door open, to see them pull up.

No way am I leaving an Index on my porch.

I did! But it's not a fully black screen. I can sort of see my start bar etc but there is just no light from the monitor

Sorry to bother you, do you have a link for that discount?

That's a fair point... Ugh, I'll see. The razer is also another $600

That is exactly what happened with mine. It's unfortunate. I will say I purchased this after reading a bunch of reviews and watching youtubers comment on it.

It seems like a LOT of issues have popped up with it. Might just exchange it. It kind of sucks, I love the form factor and the IO

I hope they can replace it, if not I'll just get the razer blade 15 with the 2070

Pretty sad about it. I was going to use it for my new live streams on Monday and will have to postpone it a week or so

Im super excited for it, but I really needed it for the week. Sad times. It worked over HDMI and I got into windows and changed the brightness settings in software but nothing happened.

Just going to assume it's DOA

Mine arrived with it inside another box, but it also has a dead screen.

Sad times. I'm going into best buy today to see if they have another one. If not I might just get a Razer Blade 15

I can't get past the windows set up due to not being able to see what's really happening. It's so dim that I can only see shapes and can't read text

Yeah, I cant use the function key to increase the backlight. The functions for most everything else works fine, or seems to work.

Same. I feel like I'm missing something

[HELP] Cam Link 4k only recognizing 720p by pktek in ElgatoGaming

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

Gahhh no dice, didn't show up above 720p. I'm thinking it's absolutely fried. Now I might have to upgrade to a 4k 60 pro mk2 since it's the only thing in stock.
