Preordered mine from LG on 4/6 and I got the shipment email last night. I used the 15% off code that appears to be no longer valid. Probably would prefer QD-OLED colors, but my environment is pretty bright and I don't want to change it.
Two and a half years later this thread is still helping out. :LOL: My wife was playing Baldur's Gate 3 on my desktop (5900X + 3090 FTW3) and complained the PC was just randomly shutting down. Temps were fine. My TX-850 ran fine for years, but apparently BG3 gets the power draw up to 700W. Pretty...
I gave up on the 100 jumps. Only got to 35. Pretty sure I got it when I was younger. My reaction time is still ~180ms according to online tests, so age hasn't affected me that much. I went ahead and finished the game at level 22. Took about 15 hours in total. I'm somewhat glad that it's a...
When it comes to Switch games I buy physical. It lets me share games with my nephews, but more importantly Nintendo now has a proven track record of shutting down their e-shops for each console. Made me wish I bought physical everything for the Wii U and 3DS.
I was somewhat nostalgic recently for old Counter-Strike and watched some old videos of maps long retired (747, docks, etc...). I think there was just something fun about it being a new experience and everyone was learning and trying things out. Maps were not balanced at all, but they were...
Shows how much I know. :LOL: I'd assumed it was some BIOS POST screen. I never dove much into the details of this machine as I was given it and am usually hesitant to boot it up more than once in a blue moon. I like it as a historical piece, but it doesn't get as much attention as my 90's era PCs.
Every decade or so I dig this out of the basement to see if it still works. It's an IBM PC 5150-176 with a COLOR monitor and video board! I debate selling it since it holds no sentimental value (I picked it up from a former co-worker), but it's just so damn neat. Keyboard is in another box...
I'm somewhat jealous of the prices you guys pay. I downgraded my plan because the value stinks. Was paying $95/mo for 400/15. Found out the "standard" plan was 300/10 so I decided to save $20 a month. When I went from dial-up to cable it was unbelievable at the time (3k down to 200k down).
I work almost solely in dark mode in my IDE and terminal. That sounds like it could be really annoying. I'm eyeing the LG 32GQ950-B as well, but the contrast+backlight looks much worse compared to the G7/G8.
I contacted LG support, but they said I'm out of warranty. The nearest LG service center was over an hour away and said they wouldn't come out. I ordered a replacement T-Con and mainboard on ebay and did the swap over the weekend. It fixed that problem, but now I have another issue where there...
I've had my B7A for almost 5 years, but just a few days ago I've been experiencing an issue with the panel brightness in a specific pattern. The left side is extremely bright (general brightness, not OLED light) and washed out and then it progresses to overly dark on the right side. If I run the...
For anyone who is thinking about the Viewsonic XG320U or already has one: Apparently this monitor's brightness is gimped from the factory. There is an "Energy Saver" mode that's on by default that cuts the brightness nearly in half. I turned it off and the monitor became a lot more tolerable. I...
