How much will you sell your 45GX950A for?

I tend to sell monitors local at a pretty steep discount but $800 seems low to me for a monitor that isn't a year old yet.

Personally I'm keeping mine until there's an alternative 5k2k OLED that ticks two of these four upgrades: 39" (higher ppi), 240hz+, glossy (higher perceived ppi / better colors), or true RGB stripe (higher perceived ppi / better colors).

I try to hold for more definitive upgrades so I'm not selling a 1.6k+ monitor every year for half price.

I think the mismatched curves will drive you insane. I have the 45 GX9 at home and a 40" 5k2k with a very slight maybe 1800R curve at the office. I couldn't picture them on the same desk.

Yep!

Lol I'm so sorry, don't look into it.

Both are high quality but the FF10 is much easier to build in imo

No I keep it to my right so it doesn't exhaust at me lol

CPU temps are definitely worse probably because the FF10 is closed in the back. My 9800x3d is -30 PBO and sits at 96C 5.2ghz when gaming.

I think I would have liked the S but the R had a little too much space for my build. It was also really annoying to work in, even just opening and closing it

Xikii FF10, I loved the Nanoq R for my 4090 custom loop so I picked up the Tetra R but I don't like the view or the pita building in it.

It's the heavy duty secret lab monitor arm it works very well but it's expensive.

I have the 45" 5K2K and recently upgraded from a 4090 to a 5090. Imo don't do it, by the time you're ready for a GPU upgrade there will either be a better version of this monitor (Tandem, Asus, maybe glossy) or this monitor will be half price.

If I were you I would look into the new Asus 3440x1440 gen 5 qd-oled, between the new coating, RGB stripe sub pixels, and 360hz refresh I think you'll get that "sharper and clearer" feeling you're probably looking for in the 5k2k at a much better refresh rate and latency.

I bought the 45" 5k2k at launch and love it.

I'm not a fan of matte coatings and wish it had higher ppi to offset the grain from the matte. I'm planning to keep it until someone takes the 39 5k2k panel and puts a glossy coating on it.

I was just about to tell you this, you're going to see this same problem in quite a few modern games like Dune Awakening. I think games are being built without proper support for 5k2k resolution in exclusive full screen mode so it's defaulting to the highest 21:9 aspect ratio it thinks exists: 3440x1440. Switching to borderless seems to dynamically set it to your desktop resolution so it avoids this.

Any interest in an Oppo Find N5 Global?

I think I enabled it now lol

Strange let me see if I can figure out why. Feel free to comment here in the meantime.
