Deffo good deal for productivity, lacking for a gaming monitor though. If they could add FS/G-sync and a 144Hz RR for about £300-350, they’d be on a right winner.

yeah, I use my series x nowadays for gaming, my Mac is solely for basic productivity, so the 60hz doesn’t bother me..

the two things to get used to though are the refresh rate being less compared to my MSI and also, I wanted non curve, but I keep thinking my monitor is bending outward because of the curve to flat! :cry:

I may get one of these for my daughter. She doesn't game apart from Sims and Minecraft, and uses her Macbook mostly for productivity. This might be perfect.

I would say worth a shot mate. Especially with the games you state she plays.

You never know, might end up with it yourself! :cry:

yeah, I bought just to "dip my toe in the water" and honestly, it is a good unit for the money!

You get 4k monitors for 200 quid now?

Remember it is a smaller brand. Not taking anything away, just FYI.

And yeah, I paid a dab over £200.

Goes some way to compensating for being bent over for the cost of a card capable of running at 4K. Seeing crypto miners in pain at rising energy costs and collapsing prices isn't filling me with bitter glee in the slightest

@Hades

just a quick note mate, that the included stand is non adjustable (only tilt), this wasn't a factor for me as I use a monitor arm, just to let you know, might be better with one, as it has a 100x100 VESA mount.

Thanks for the heads up.

Bought an app. (I guess the iPad Keyboard thing too as I've not posted that from couple months' ago)

Waited a while, though with discount from Insiders was more then enough to make up for it. Not a revolutionary change from C9, but wanted something bigger anyways then 65" so that + all the goodness a few gens made + price has made it a nice jump.

Oh yeah. Nice TV.

I have no idea how to use it lol, just want to muck around with a synth and this is cheaper than a real thing.

Fair. It looks cool. Wouldn't have a clue where to start myself but I do love what can be done with a synth.

I also found out this app and another by the same company gave it away free during the start of the pandemic to keep people entertained during lockdown! It’s not a 99p app, it’s £12.99. Wish I spotted that. The synth it models on costs thousands and thousands.

Looks good. It was just a scam to get you to cook though.

Can confirm we bought a pizza oven for father in law's 60th last year and have had fresh pizza at every family gathering since

We did the same last year for the FIL
He makes the bases and toppings, but I've got to do the cooking, which isn't too sad when it takes seconds in the Ooni :cry:

Guess this counts, bought one thing, received the thing I didn't order, but it actually worked out well because I like this one better so will change to this from now on :cool:
