Noob question: if my PC is connected via ethernet is there much advantage in upgrading the router - e.g. will this improve input latency?…

Looks like the 25% off box has now gone

I think it’s like most nice things - you notice the difference much more when you go back. I upgraded from 120 —> 240hz several months…

I'm sure there's differences between individuals, but the 20hz claim is ridiculous

Why do I feel like supporting Jeff instead of Gerry is the lesser of two evils?

Anyone know roughly how much value 90,000 Qantas points is?

The no spare tyre is unfortunately pretty common with modern cars, particularly EVs that use the spot for battery space

If it was Apple, the charging port would be underneath the car.

Anyone know whether the switches are hot swappable?

Hard disagree - the whole point of this monitor is to be the ultimate all in one. Bit of productivity use 4K. Need some sweaty lunchtime…

I think most people get 1.5 to 2 days battery life. So if you charge daily you shouldn’t have an issue.

Yeah I agree that a 120mm AIO is not ideal. At least from the last deal you could "downgrade" to an air cooler for free or upgrade to a…

Yes, particularly in games when you're panning around a screen or tracking fast moving objects (e.g. mnk on fps games). But for something…

I'm not affiliated, but I believe so. Make sure that the case can support a 360mm AIO (such as the Antec P20c)

I loked into it, noise cancellation is actually for the microphone. The review that I watched, the feature blocked most of the noise from a…

Yeah I read a couple of reviews before purchase - one descibed the microphone as perfectly fine for gaming but not recommended for…

$99...

I assume that you could buy different replacement earpads from e.g. Amazonfor them and leave them on a watermelon overnight to stretch if…

@Wireless1 any chance this deal is coming back?

Mine was also shipped today

Hmm I would be surprised if it was significantly lower price. If anything I would expect more expensive

Thanks for the review. Can't help but calculate that your complaint about wait time is a bit exagerated. The estimate is 5-10 business days…

They said “coming from UW” - describing their previous monitor

Yeah, I mean might get lucky and track 1.5%. I never have a lot of faith in the cashback tracking, but am happy when it does

This is my thoughts exactly

Pretty sure most cashbacks exclude Alienware monitors

Usually 2.5x with 2 videos side by side (one for each eye)

Hahaha, yes need to finish it quickly to get back to more important tasks

Nice. I also went with the 32". I'd say 60% competitive FPS, 30% excel / word documents / 10% media consumption

Haha nice - did you have a preference between either?
