43 inches. It's a behemoth. Early 31st birthday present to myself
I hope the back light bleed isn't half as noticeable in person, is there something specific to curved monitors that worsens it?

But 2 monitors = 2 sets of cable pairs cluttering up behind the desk, a lot more desk space used, 2 different brightnesses to deal with and colour variations as no two monitors are exactly alike even if they are the same model. Just extra faff in the long run so one large ultra-wide is just better really.
The only real benefit I had with dual was if one normal wide was full time in portrait mode, makes reading documents and sites much better an experience.

New TV for downstairs to serve IPTV
Built a 3090 / 10900k rig for a close friend
And a 3070 / 10900k build to give mine a bit of an update
I was let down by OCUK quite a lot with these two builds and ended up sourcing most of it elsewhere.
DPD chap was certainly busy this month here!

Got a slightly unexpected delivery on Friday, something I thought I wouldn't receive until February or later but, here it is now. Wasn't to happy when I picked it up though, considering this is the packing of the item.
But luckily everything was alright, although if that flimsy paper had been ripped I do wonder if it would ever have arrived......

Following on from my secret Santa gift from @Megahurtz400 reminding me how good fresh coffee can be decided the hand grinder he got me can work very nicely with an aeropress alongside the Nespresso I use at work, so first off got some beans (and some rave Nespresso pods to try)
Also needed something at home to keep my fueled on beans but with an option of running a second bean through my espresso machine.
Ah amazing!
I'm off the caffeine at the moment but at one point I could not stop drinking the Columbia El Carmen!
Most of Raves stuff is really nice and feels good knowing your coffee isn't encouraging slave labour
Any reason for going Intel over AMD? Just availability?

Thanks again
I'm hoping to pick up some of the decafe Columbia El Carmen that they do once this selection has gone.

New brakes, new bushes and engine started pinking at over 7000rpm and looks like fuel pump issue so new pump, sender and filter too along with a service. Not much change from 2k but with suspension refresh hoping it drives nicer.

Levelled up on the old sounds.
Decided against a soundbar and went with The Fives by Klipsch.
very nice still loving my LG soundbar setup

Just personal preference, won't even own an AMD again from past experiences despite their performance/power per pound ratio against the Intels

What are those cute speaker stands, I love them!
I had to improvise as there wasn't a speaker that I liked.
They're stools without the top.

They look great, really suit the speaker too.
That looks outstanding! Looks like a lovely place to unwind in front of the screen
Top job
Nicely done. Looks good.

Added some 48kg dumbbells to my set, should do nice for some bicep curls
I assumed they were the same style as my other heavier DBs but they have either changed the design (website image doesn't match) or they are this design over a certain weight.

The PPI required for a 'retina' UW would be insane. The PPI of a 4k at 27" is actual trash, nobody who is sane wants to deal with non integer scaling in Windows.
The announced 40" 5k2k is sadly a stupid halfway PPI, so either you deal with non integer scaling again, or you have everything be 33% smaller compared to a regular PPI at 100%.
Maybe Apple will finally bring out an UW.
