That monitor looks fantastic!

I dread to think how much it cost

Edit: just looked it up, not as much as I expected.

In the world of £1000+ monitors , it is actually quite reasonable.

Very nice!

I'm tempted by a curved screen but I do graphics work so probably not a good idea as I'll never get my lines straight.

Do you find the curve adds much to the experience?

It's a gentle curve, and i've only had it 24 hours - But yes i think it does add to visuals in gaming. I dabble in Photoshop, and a quick play around didn't throw up any problems for me.

curve is subtle on most if not all curved screens

they are perfect for monitors as usually only 1 person sitting straight on uses them. for tv's they are a bit of a gimmick unless it's a bedroom/spare room and you only have 1 or 2 people straight on from them.

as for experience they have their pros and cons. backlight issues, etc. i'd personally would want one with local dimming or OLED, the bigger you go the more importan that becomes.

Would agree with everything you stated, though i appear to have been pretty lucky with bleed on this one.

Scarily Wall-E is probably on the lower end of their scale of products.

Considering those are generally considered better than Cheery by the Mech KB community I'd say that's pretty damn good.

Wasn't aware of that, they seem good though. Rantopad MXX if anyone is interested in one.

I remember Spirited Away blew me away with its visual quality on a crappy old CRT TV on Channel4 some years ago so I'm looking forward to that the most.

I've not seen Ex_Machina before but since it was only a fiver, I thought it was worth a punt.

edit: Anyone want the Ex_Machina UltraViolet code? I have no use for it. First reply gets it.

Kudos for the IronMan.

Awesome, is that half the distance of the proper full one?

marc2003 · 1 Oct 2016 at 19:09

The distances are right there on the medal.

IIRC, Olympic distances are 1.5/40/10 and that Ironman is 1.9/90/21.

I saw that so that is why I asked.
21KM is half the distance of a full marathon which is 42km (26.2 mile) so without Googling the other two are half the distances of a full triathlon.

I think there are 4 different length triathlons recognised by whatever sports body, the Olympics don't do the big one.

Thanks

Yeah half Ironman, thought going for a full one was a bit optimistic for my first triathlon

I have the Wall-E one (managed to get it for £20). Its a good sized nice looking piece when put together.

My IM was my first every race, never even completed a 5k up to that point. Go big or Go home

Congrats, it's an awesome feeling and accomplishment.

Well done fella!

Some doughnuts and some books

wiiija · 2 Oct 2016 at 17:18

Desk, monitor, mouse while I'm waiting for my m330 silent plus, keyboard, pads, swapped sandisk ssd from my x230 to an 850 pro.
Potato pics sorry!

Loved Ex Machina at the cinema, if you don't mind I'll take the UV code off your hands. Thanks mate.

Sent via the trust messaging thingy. You've been active this year so I assume it's all up to date.

edit: just noticed the registration page mentions entering a retailer. It was from HMV.

wingman · 2 Oct 2016 at 18:10

Brilliant, thanks a lot Marc! Just tested it and it worked a treat.

Dropped you a trust (hope it's okay with the mods), thank you for the generosity.
