    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Same boat. I'm mucking around in Fusion 360 right now and the off-yellow of the corners and the weirdness of black-on-grey-on-white details is rampant. I am able to sit a bit further back than you so I'll count myself lucky. Oh well. I'll forget about it as soon as I do pretty much anything...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Very interesting, I didn't expect such success with an affordable arm. Some of the really beefy stuff gets crazy expensive, but I think I'll give one of those a shot. About how much further forward does the arm make the monitor sit? I currently have the OEM legs set as far back as they can...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Has anyone put this thing on a monitor arm? I'm starting to crave a floating monitor. The included feet are less intrusive than the center pedestel on my last monitor, but I want to clean things up.

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Hah....I was just reading the last few updates to this thread, thinking about how lucky I am to have a unit I'm happy with, and the display cut out for a few seconds. Happened the moment I clicked my profile name in the upper right corner and the little window expanded. Come to think of it...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I'm not sure if this is a FV43U-specific issue or not, but does anyone know how to make nvidia GPUs stop detecting this monitor as a "new audio device" every time it is turned on? I'm not even using the displays audio, nor do I have the nvidia HD audio drivers installed.

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    Most streaming services do not offer their highest quality streams to PCs because "anti piracy" 🙄🙄🙄 Netflix's 4k package, for example, simply doesnt provide any benefit to browsers. Unrelated, but if anyone bought this display from Newegg prior to the "Fantastech Sales" event they just had...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I'm not really informed enough on LCD tech to make a call. My totally uninformed guess would be that the BGR subpixel layout has something to do with it, only because I've never seen this before now and this is my first BGR panel. It might also be an artifact of some "feature" of the monitor...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I notice this occasionally as well, it almost looks like the screen door effect on lowish-res VR, but only on the Y axis. It's not enough to bother me, but I'm glad that someone else mentioned it so I know I'm not totally nuts. I've grown to like my FV43U more with time, and after a few weeks...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I requested a price match. Had to go through their support chat because the automated form kept failing. At first they agreed right away, but then I got an email stating that the manual refund wont process because the item is "on the Fantastech sale list. So we will not issue the refund...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I got this display earlier in the week and very nearly started a return with Newegg. I had text blurriness issues and couldn't view my system BIOS - something about the way the system changes resolutions at boot seemed to cause the monitor to think it had no signal and would shut off...

    Thinking About Windows 10 Alternatives

    They have a lot more in common than I bet you'd be willing to admit. Microsoft chooses when and how to update software on both systems. They push ads to both systems. They're pushing W10 gaming towards a closed console-like environment via DX12 exclusivity, Microsoft store exclusives, and...

    Thinking About Windows 10 Alternatives

    8.1 with ClassicShell is everything W10 should have been. I'll never understand why anyone would spend the time and money to build a custom enthusiast rig and then basically hand the keys over to Microsoft. Just buy an xbox.

    Elon Musk: Robots Will Take Your Jobs

    Self driving cars aren't the future, they're here. There are 3.5 million truck drivers in the United States. That one industry alone being automated would increase the current unemployed total in the US by 44%. I'm not going to bother finding numbers for taxi drivers, chauffers, mail...
