    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

    Best way to control fans?

    Looks like A-Tuning was the culprit, somehow. I checked everything - fans all set to "Standard" in UEFI, 3-pin to 3-pin and 4-pin to 4-pin connections, killing all my monitoring/overclocking software. Fans still pegged at 100%. Out of frustration I uninstalled A-Tuning and rebooted, and...

    Best way to control fans?

    I tried Speedfan but it couldn't actually control any of the fans - same issue as with the Asrock A-Tuning software where the fans run at 100% at all times. I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or if A-Tuning is overriding the settings for all programs.

    Do they make AIO coolers for gpu's?

    As others have stated, the NZXT G10 bracket is a very good option. I have two cards with g10's and Kraken x41's - a Gigabyte R9 290x Windforce in my HTPC and an EVGA GTX 1080 SC in my main rig. Both cards saw huge temp decreases compared to their stock (non-reference) coolers. I actually...

    Best way to control fans?

    What is the best way to take control of my fans? My motherboard - an Asrock z97 Extreme6 that is otherwise great - has serious issues with fan control. I can't seem to get any board-powered fans to run at anything less than 100%, and even if that worked the Asrock software is difficult to live...

    What 'Optimization' Really Means In Games

    NVIDIA's GeForce Experience 3.0 Released

    Unless it's different for 300/400 series cards or something that is being rolled out very soon, the drivers at least weren't tied to any logins or non-essential software. As of last week I was happily downloading manual updates for my 290x and ignoring any bundled software except CCC.

    Uber Loses at Least $1.2B in First Half of 2016

    What is the best 40", 4k display currently?

    Wasabi Mango UHD400. Pretty Samsung panel running on different hardware that makes it a proper monitor instead of a TV. No. Nothing on the market currently drives 4k "without compromises' across all games.

    Steam Hardware Survey for July 2016

    Such mixed emotions. I'm proud of the gaming community for seemingly not being caught up by Facebook's BS with Oculus, but I'm dissapointed in that W10 adoption rate. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but privacy and control must not be important to the average gamer.
