    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Anyone else finding that it's almost mandatory to have two settings for the monitor: one for day and one for night. At night I feel like my eyes are retinas are being burned out if I lower the brightness like crazy. I know this isn't exactly novel, like I do this with my laptop screen...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I can't seem to replicate this but I'm wondering if it's that I don't fully understand what I'm looking for?? The text looks fine regardless of position and the linked grid image test looks "fine". I have pretty sensitive eyes so perhaps I'm missing something?? Update: So in the test image...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Update: Received monitor. It's awesome. Here are my thoughts/experiences: Pros - Big, beautiful, vibrant. The most immersive gaming experience I've had outside of VR. - Upgraded to the new firmware using sidekick w/o problems (used the USB B "printer" cable while connected with the...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    So... What's the general takeaway on this monitor? Im looking for something to replace a two monitor setup (1 gaming and 1 non-professiinal photo editing). Seems like: 1) generally a high quality multi-purpose monitor 2) but you're almost certainly playing the panel lottery 3) and... maybe...

    As someone who has worked in competitive strategy for several big tech companies, this is 100% correct. I laugh every time I see the "intentional shortage" narrative. Trust me, no CEO wants, in an even somewhat competitive market, to explain to shareholders what's happening with the 3xxx right now.

    Beware there are a lot of false positives for supposedly "in stock" items. They usually aren't real drops so don't sorry too much about it.

    Understandable. If you want take a more targeted approach I think the pattern for newegg has been weekly restocks on wed-friday, with a focus on wed and Thurs evenings at 6pm. It's not guaranteed but just my two cents.

    Yeah I mean unless you really are doing vram heavy non gaming stuff, a 3090 is an insanely bad deal. this is nvidia segmenting the market and making crazy money off of rich people / the few who will tax deduct it for "work" :).

    Are you using distill plus the newegg wishlist in the newegg mobile app (for the evga)? I'm convinced the app is faster - I never got even close to buying a card on my desktop. Mobile app was the first try (once I knew a drop was happening). Good luck!

    Yeah that's exactly why I'm conflicted. It was intentional.. just took the only one that popped on newegg.

    Managed to snag an MSI Ventus tonight. I'm happy but pretty conflicted about supporting MSI. I guess beggars and choosers and *waves at nothing in particular*...
