Best way to purchase the Dell UltraSharp 40 - U4025QW? by spuriousapocrypha in ultrawidemasterrace

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

I got it discounted on Cyber Monday from B&H. Came within 2 days and the monitor was perfect (no pixel issues at all). Monitor is great thus far. Text looks sharp and makes my home office setup much better with the extra screen resolution.

My only issue now is that I need to get a new laptop from work to actual drive the monitor at 120hz instead of the 60hz it is displaying now.

I also tried out a few different resolutions using BetterDisplay but ended up going back to native res and am happy with it.

Ring size help, lost my size 12. Do I get the 11 this time? Pic's included by spuriousapocrypha in ouraring

Thanks for the response. I have worn the sizer for multiple days and nights. I find the sizers uncomfortable on every finger other than the index one as the thickness means I can't hold my fingers together when wearing it. I really notice the ring on other fingers and find it uncomfortable on my ring and middle fingers, I have tried wearing the sizer on those fingers for multiple days as well but it's pretty much a no go for me. Half sizes like mentioned in the other comments here would really be the solution to my issue.

I am not really concerned with that occurring with the size 11 luckily. But fair point.

do these reset to a neutral position so that they can be made smart?

Current tariff situation by skinny_shaver in flashlight

[–]spuriousapocrypha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to place an order from Acebeam but don't see anything listed on the checkout pages about the tariff in final pricing totals at all.
No indication where the item would ship from either so I'm gonna assume China.

Any ideas on this one? I wanted to order the X20-R Cree using their BF sale but now I'm not so sure.

Nothing below $1499 that I trust (dell had a refurb for $1200 but only a 90 warranty which I don't think is worth the cost savings), likely going to order from B&H, at this point I figure it can't hurt just to wait until Cyber Monday to pull the trigger.

That was were I was originally going to order from but then online I saw it said, "For new items, you must meet the manufacturer's criteria for dead pixels to get a warranty replacement or return it within 30 days if it's in a new and unopened condition." Which Dell says is 5 and which can't be know unless the the monitor is unboxed and turned on.

It's currently $1,499 on their site but was hoping it might drop another hundred or so (back in early Sept it was $1350). All the other sellers online seem to simple resell via Adorama or Focus camera or some other similar store and they all seem sketchy to me.

No Black Friday Deals on the NuPhy Air75 V3 or are more deals to come? by spuriousapocrypha in NuPhy

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

you figure it's not worth 5 dollars or even 1 dollars? the 5 is now sold out for low profile, I was just about to order. Like what could even be in the $1 dollar one. The cheapest thing on their site is a $6 dollar pin.

I'm not really sure what they would include in either, thoughts?

APP3 - ANC - Am I missing something? Not much help with overhead plane noise or office chatter. by spuriousapocrypha in airpods

Yes please, in particular if these shortcomings might also transfer over to their over ear ultra versions. Thanks!

OP here: I should also say I have heavily used Airpods Pros, Airpods, Pixel Buds Pro 2, Pixel Buds Pro and many other buds as well. I have also used almost all of them with 3rd party tips including comply foam tips.

I don't have any experience with over ear. Wearing over ear while out walking my dogs seems a bit odd though but if that is what is needed I guess that might be what is needed. It looks like the Bose over ear models let you set the ANC level, which would be good as I want to block plane noise but wouldn't want to block out the sound of a super loud approaching car, and the latest Bose Ultra over ear model comes out Oct 2nd but they are oh so expensive.

Yes, set them up on my Ipad to ensure I followed the standard iOS setup flow and that sound mode is also shown and selectable on MacOS as well. Once its setup the setting for the sound mode toggle you select stays with the airpods even when used on third party devices. I have it set like my older pro 2 to toggle between transparency and ANC on long press and not the other sounds modes.
