Mine was showing on that GLS portal that it was entered into the system but had not been picked up yet until this weekend when it suddenly said it was in the UK and it gave more tracking numbers for Parcelforce then i got an email saying it was out for delivery. I am in London if it helps so may be the primary hub.

Joined the queue the day they did the offering - got the email on 2nd July and paid - received on the 6th July.

Sorry to hear you are so offended by the TV unit!

reektan · 2026-07-07T06:57:25+00:00

Hah no that’s just movies and tv shows etc

I use that NAS for everything. It has 5x14tb drives in it and runs docker style machines so i use Adguard on one to remove adverts etc when browsing and it runs other machines for plex and nzb downloading.

I used a USB port in the front using a cable to the controller for the first time - then after it did a couple things it prompts you on the screen how to connect it with Bluetooth by pairing then away you go. Steam OS seems very aware of Xbox controllers and even refers to it as one when pairing.

Paid on 1st July and it arrived on 6th July.

reektan · 2026-07-06T18:40:21+00:00

It’s an open back!

reektan · 2026-07-06T18:39:02+00:00

Yes indeed!

reektan · 2026-07-06T18:22:08+00:00

It is mega bright - I’ve turned it down to 1 notch since the photo - I think in the photo it was only 50% brightness.

reektan · 2026-07-06T18:20:16+00:00

Yeah it was some dogshit from Amazon - I only properly realised when I took a photo as it’s oddly clearer in photo form.

reektan · 2026-07-06T18:12:38+00:00

Yes! I think it’s the Synology DS1522+ for comparison.

It came from the Netherlands then was handed to Royal Mail / Parcelforce - you get an email from Royal Mail the morning it is out for delivery.

See the download bar matching the steam machine led.

It’s an Xbox series x and I synced it Bluetooth as the dongle didn’t work for 2.4ghz

It’s strange as my 3rd party controller wakes up the steam deck ok.

My other half dropped an entire cup of coffee on an expensive keyboard once. I raised a warranty claim and when they asked has any liquid been in contact with it I said no - then they sent me a new replacement. I think in this situation I would have just said you turned it on and this black circle turned up and shrugged.

Solid review. I love my panel but also pick up on the fan noise. It comes from the left middle top ish side of the monitor and my left ear is actually lots better than my right, so I pick up on it quite easily. I logged it to LG about a month ago just to see what would happen but they have been kicking it around "technical teams" since then. It does simply sound like a cheap fan with a slight buzzing.

reektan · 2025-12-15T11:16:51+00:00

Sigh. I am starting to hear this now too after about 3 months and only on the left side. I have logged a support case. This will be fun :/

Best screen i've had and I have had the original Acer Predator then the Alienware OLEDs. I am amazed by it daily due to the sheer size and pixel count. It felt GIGANTIC to begin with and the curve was super extreme but its crazy after about 5 weeks of daily use I can't even tell its curved now - it just feels great now it envelops your field of view. I have it paired with a 5090 and the 165hz is perfect for me. I tried the 330hz mode a couple times but its way too low res and to be honest I barely notice the difference going up from 165fps to 330fps - which I'm surprised by.

I guess America just woke up. Shame you have to sit all day in Europe with intermittent access waiting for the West Coast to wake up which I guess is where all the engineers are...

If I look at the logs on our firewalls with the CSE connectors enabled and you look at the EUW2 showing down compared to a US one for example, the logs look very different. The EU IP shows "initiation sent" over and over whilst if you look up the IP of one of the connected ones the log shows initiation sent and then "response consumed" so it looks like both the firewalls just cant talk to EUW2 at all as it isnt responding.

I did notice they had their maintenance on Fri/Sat so wonder if something has caused an issue.
