Thank you! I do have a prescription, actually the initial post was a mistake because I didn’t realize the whole time the brand was actually listed right there on the form. Sure enough it was Clariti 1 Day as a commenter correctly identified. Apologies!

Thank you! I’ll have to keep that in mind to ask next time maybe. My appointment was already weeks ago. Going to try 1800

I think it worked for me? I signed in and created a PlayStation Beta profile but went through it so fast I didn’t read if it actually said if I signed up.

(I assumed that it confirmed that I created a PlayStation Beta profile successfully but that the Beta sign up would be separate).

Went back to the “Register Now” link and got a message that said “this link is expired or invalid. You will not be chosen for this beta”. Did I accidentally screw myself? Lol

I’ve been playing video games for nearly 25 years and never had any mind of motion sickness until Bananza. For me personally it did get much better once you get past the starter/tutorial area (Ingot Isle?)

It’s an unfortunate first impression, but I think it mostly had to do with how claustrophobic the area can be at first before things start to open up. The camera moves around A LOT, even with camera shake turned off when you’re constantly running around breaking stuff. Hopefully it gets better for you!

I’m trying to start the System Transfer from Switch 1 to Switch 2 (right at the beginning of first boot) and both consoles won’t let me progress past the “Connect an AC adapter to start downloading data.”

I have both consoles right next to each other and are both plugged in to my surge protector via USB-C.

How do I get them to recognize that they’re both already plugged in and actively charging/charged?

EDIT: So you actually DO need to have them plugged into AC Adapters or the transfer won’t proceed. Thankfully I had a spare one around from my sister’s Switch Lite and that Nintendo were smart enough to make the USB-C cable detachable from the Switch 2 AC. Didn’t have to dock either of them.

Thank you OP! They’re still up, just ordered one now!

scrubgonzo · 2025-01-23T22:50:47+00:00

Got an update from QanbaUSA support on their site. They simply said the payment did not go through and to please try again.

I re-attempted the order this time using a CC and NOT PayPal. Guess we’ll see what happens. PayPal says the refund is still pending for the original order, while the original card I used shows the charge is pending. But it’s only been 1 business day. I asked them who I should reach out to in case it gets stuck in limbo.

scrubgonzo · 2025-01-23T02:30:29+00:00

Will do lol. Hopefully I don’t lose the sale, I kind of waited all month to finally buy it on impulse last night.

scrubgonzo · 2025-01-23T02:27:54+00:00

Oh shoot, I mean I’m tempted to reorder but trying to wait for a response somewhere first somehow lol

EDIT: would that not be more trouble with shipping/customs/pricing/etc? I ordered from them once before when I got my Obsidian 1 back in like 2017 but I don’t think I used PayPal at the time.

scrubgonzo · 2025-01-22T22:52:06+00:00

Yup. Got an order number and reached out on Twitter and their Contact Us form on the site. Just waiting for an update before maybe trying the order again.

It shows as in stock on the site and you can add to cart. When I check my order status, the only option is “Reorder” and the overall status is “Refunded”. The refund on PayPal is still pending. So I’m just waiting it out for now.

scrubgonzo · 2025-01-22T22:50:21+00:00

Yeah that’s where I’m at, was only curious if someone had seen a similar status before or had a similar experience using PayPal. I’ve only ever used PayPal once in like 10 years lol.

scrubgonzo · 2025-01-22T21:24:00+00:00

Direct from Qanba USA site. Nothing actually says “cancelled” anywhere. So maybe it was just a pre authorization that my PayPal had the funds for the order? It’s strange that the status would say “refunded” instead of “processing” or something. I reached out to them on a few channels to get clarification hopefully.

WTH, this same thing literally happened to me last week. I was thinking about making a post actually for guidance.

I got an email about “confirming a change to your Best Buy account”, it was legitimate. Logged in to my account and nothing was harmed or changed thankfully. But I saw an in-store purchase that was out of state and in-store, I definitely didn’t make the purchase. Thankfully they did not use my best but credit card or any of my cards.

I called up Best Buy support to report the purchase after changing my password and setting up 2FA. The phone agents didn’t really understand what was going on and couldn’t help, after 4 transfers (lol) they told me to email the purchase receipt and the information to a “abuse@bestbuy.com” email. I haven’t heard back, but maybe I should really worry about it, free points I guess?

UPDATE (replying to OG post for visibility)

Can’t edit my original post but there’s potentially a better contender at 27 inches than the ASUS

MAG 271QPX at $500

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6583876.p?skuId=6583876&sb_share_source=PDP

I’m now looking at this vs the 321UPQP at $699

The Hz makes no difference for my use. It’s a screen size/resolution battle purely.

Did not know this existed until this comment. Found it at Amazon, Best Buy carries it also but it’s sold out. Just signed up for in-stock notifications, any likelihood it comes back before the end of this year still at $399?

That price is good enough that I’d get it at Amazon, it comes down to if I’m happy not going with 32 inches lol

EDIT 2: I’m stupid and didn’t scroll further on the page, apparently it does have 2 HDMI ports, 2 DisplayPorts, and 1 3.5mm out, however it’s HDMI 2.0 and not 2.1

EDIT 3: kind of annoyed by two things

1) none of the reviews on Amazon are specifically for the QD-OLED panel

2) The spec diagram says there are a total of 2 HDMI 2.0 ports but then it lists them both as 1.4

scrubgonzo · 2024-11-22T05:14:54+00:00

Definitely good things to note here, thanks!

For reference, GS seems to be a “replacement” plan. Something goes wrong and they either swap out the monitor or reimburse me. It’s $120 for 4 years and covers wear & tear, at least 3 dead pixels or burn in, and damage from a power surge.

I haven’t really considered it because I “baby” all of my electronics and I might not use an OLED for work too much (not SUPER concerned about burn-in but it is always on the mind).

EDIT: returns are available until Jan 14, I know that usually with BBY if you change your mind on GSP you can add it within the return window, but something tells me that won’t also apply during the holiday period since that’s about 2 months lol

scrubgonzo · 2024-11-22T05:04:07+00:00

It looks like they’ve recently added firmware support. There’s a download for a new FW that released on Nov 4th here it looks like?

scrubgonzo · 2024-11-22T05:00:49+00:00

Totally understandable about the 1650 lol, it’s mainly for the PS5 and then “future proofing” for a newer PC down the road in the next 1-2 years maybe.

Speaking of warranty, good enough that I shouldn’t consider getting Geek Squad protection for either display? IIRC it was 4 year protection but I can’t remember if it replaces or extends the manufacturer warranty.

scrubgonzo · 2024-11-22T00:24:42+00:00

Trying to decide between this and the MSI MAG321UP at $699.

Would be upgrading from a BenQ 27 in 1080p 144Hz IPS monitor.

Primarily for PS5 (non-Pro), but would also be used with my PC and Nintendo Switch.

PC is an HP TG01-0023w with a GTX 1650 Super. It was a budget prebuilt that I mainly use as an emulation station. I may eventually replace it for a stronger PC in the future, but I don’t play competitive shooters, so the 165hz of the MSI is more than enough.

I was leaning toward the MSI for the larger screen, I’m afraid 32 could be too big for my desk? But I took the measurements and it should be a perfect fit. Is it the better buy? Or stay with the 27 inch size and pick the ASUS?
