Thought I would post that my cx48pub that I bought oct. 1st 2020 just got the panel replaced through Geek Squad protection as I started getting dead pixels on the edges of the screen, was up to almost 25 of them scattered on the extreme edges. Panel was replaced with a C1 panel instead of the...

I placed an order through provantage the day they launched. Finally both called and emailed customer service to get an estimated ship date... March 2021, no thanks. Hero viii for $360 in stock at best buy it is then lol. Throwing an ek monoblock on it anyways for my 5900x so I doubt there...

I saw a yellow button and instantly by the time I clicked add to cart it was out of stock. Why even bother anymore...

Hehe, you beat me by a second, my thoughts exactly. Are there any upfront reasons why freesync might be worse than gsync?

After watching the AMD 6900xt launch and currently using twin 1080ti's on this monitor I'm leaning that way vs. the $500 more 3090. Any concerns I should have about going freesync with the cx48 vs gsync with it?

I ended up returning mine. Had a couple dead pixels which ended up being a blessing as the narrow wide curve just wasn't for me after using a 40" 4k monitor for so long

for what it's worth, I have the G9 now that all the new stock of it have been fixed and I love it! need a 30 series card to unlock DSC in order to have 240hz, but even at 120hz on my dual 1080ti's its super nice. I never realized how much of impact input lag and my previous slow screen had on...

If you can go with the odyssey do it! I'm thoroughly impressed by it and it seems like most people's units are coming in clear now without issues. Got mine through B&H a week or two ago and it's a july build date with zero issues whatsoever. I think Amazon has it priced down to 1350 or...

Maybe its all a grand conspiracy to have people purposely miss out on the 3080s so they instead go screw it I still want a card and pony up for the 3090? I wanted 3090 from the start but being that I will be water-cooling it and for the first time in a long time only buying one card I want a...

Will the 3080 be fast enough to run anything at 4k 120hz? or is it looking like the only way to hit those numbers reliably will be the 3090? I currently have 2x 1080ti's that are water cooled and will definitely be purchasing a 30 series card and water cooling it, but not sure which one. I've...

It makes sense for the panel that it is. It seems like they developed this generation of va panels to be able to be as fast as possible while knowing that the viewing angles would be terrible. The curve allows the viewing angles to function in spite of the deficits of the panel. I do worry...

So that link that I posted for the G9 is for a new business model of it. Everything looks similar but I'm not willing to be a guinea pig to find out. Certainly not willing to do it through B and H with their return policy. Probably going to get the LG 48 oled in the end, more of a known...

B and H has the G9 down to $1479 now on preorder with the redone monitor, went ahead and ordered it after seeing the two LTT videos on it. Appreciate all the replies but the way I use the monitor for work during the day I'm willing to give up a little bit of picture fidelity to not have to...

Where did you find it for that price? I'd buy it right this second for 1200.

I've read both threads specifically about each monitor but I'm still split on them. I have a c7 65" oled in my basement theater room and adore the thing while meanwhile for my pc I have a 40" 60hz seiki (with transitions so slow it's the perfect monitor to educate people on how pixels...

Had three watercooled 1080ti's during the mining craze. Mining paid them off and then when that went away I sold one so now down to 2 in SLI. See no reason to upgrade until hdmi 2.1 cards come out and the monitors that go with them.

Woah, did not know that but it makes sense. Crosses that monitor off the list for me. HDMI 2.1/ dp 1.5 can't come soon enough. Thanks for the insight Vega :)

That's what I was thinking as well but monitor companies have done dumber things in the past. For $440 this still seems like a great deal of it isn't a dud.

I can't find anymore info than the couple blurbs I've seen out on the web but is the acer version still going to be able to use 2 displayport inputs to get full 120hz 4:4:4 10 bit at 4k bandwidth? I read that that would be the case but details on that monitor have been much more sparse at the...

Saw this on Reddit this morning. Does this make any sense or is something getting lost in translation? Is this why some of you are having a good experience with the monitor and others saying it's terrible? Curious to see what cards you all are using with it. See the comments below: They...

Really interested to see reviews on the Acer model. Also very happy that it sounds like it will be using 2 1.4 displayports to run it so there won't be any compression issues. Even the new Samsung 49" ultrawide has to drop down to 4:2:2 to run full res on 120 hz. This will do 4k at 144hz at...

I might be interested in the pixel c. Can you pm me some pictures of it please? Thanks! changed my mind, thread bump though :)

I think we've hit a point in which it's become somewhat speculative again unless you access to free/ extremely cheap power. Cards are still making more than what power costs are, but not at a rate in which you are going to ROI-ing at all quickly. All of that being said I think crypto will...

My pixel 2 xl ended up being like $300 after a $300 Target gift card that came with it and $300 in bill credits (granted that means I'm stuck with it for 2 years). It's the first phone since my Nexus 6 that I'm perfectly happy with. Even my Galaxy s8+ felt wonky in some ways to me. Front...

40" 4k is the best possible size for normal desk viewing distances, however you can make almost any size display look 40" if you move it far enough back. That's the scenario some of us seem to be in with the best panels in terms of true image quality being 55"-65". If you go smaller than that...

If you end up hooking up the oled to your pc let me know if you are able to do hdr 4k at 60hz with 4:4:4 color. I think it's possible but it seems like there are some conflicting reports out there. I'm starting to lean toward getting the BFGD when it comes out no matter what the size is and...

Curious to hear peoples thoughts on my monitor buying quandry: Have 3x custom water cooled 1080ti's (use the rig for mining when not gaming) so 1080ti sli when gaming. Currently have a 4k 60hz display (seiki sm40unp) va panel. Debating between getting an oled55c7p for oled colors, no motion...

The only advantage of the 65 is that it sounds like they are going to produce it. I'm sure if they announced a 40, 43, or even 55 more people would be gravitating to that over a 65. nVidia most likely thinks that they can capture both the living room market and desktop who are willing to adapt...

No mention of refresh rate would lead me to believe they are still at 60hz though. The current one is probably the best budget to on the market. These seem to improve on that already great formula, just not for dual purpose as a PC display.

Cool idea and I like the way things are heading with this. It's basically the marriage between the monitor and tv that we have all been moving towards but with limitations on both sides. The catch and why I wouldn't buy one is the size. I, like others want a large monitor to efficiently use...

As long as it's 35 inches or greater sign me up for one of those. That sounds like monitor perfection for me.

Edge is great! (for downloading chrome)

I actually saw a 580 on best buys shelves the other day. So while flipping cards on ebay for profit might be over, mining definitely isn't. I will be interested to see how the market and mining is affected once ETH begins to make the POS transition though.

Hehe, good to know. I've had it since they first came out in like 2015. Thank you for the reply!

I have one of the Seiki sm40unp's. It's the seiki one that natively does 60hz 4:4:4 that they released later from the original 39. Any idea if it would work for this "pro" series monitor. Here's a link to it on amazon...

free bump for a great combination and what I'm currently using in my system!

I'm just hoping Vega is not only a good card but great for mining as well. It feels great getting to spend money on my hobby and legitimately call it investing . I wish I would have kept my dual 290x rig running all this time even if it was just break even back then. Have there been any new...

Thanks! SOLD!

Until then I'll just keep using my 40" sm40unp seiki which is 4k 10 bit color with 4:4:4. I wish the colors were a bit better but the input lag is superb at least being a true monitor.

I'd love to get a C6 but tried getting a p series Vizio 55 as it was on sale for $750, picture has local dimming and ips which looked great but I couldn't handle the input lag which is like 45 on that for full 4:4:4 chroma. The C6 is 34ms I believe but that would be too slow for me too. The...
