Pic: Your desk...RIGHT NOW

[Freefaller]

Decided to join the standing desk revolution. Have to say it's been amazing. Really liking it. I do need to get a deeper main desk, this one is less than 60cm and I find it too narrow. 80cm would be ideal but will wait for now. Happy to hear suggestions. Ideally would be L-shaped, but could just get 2 side by side. 1 side for work, the other for play.

20 years ago, 2002:
Enlight 7237 case / Abit KT7A / Athlon 700 / 512MB DDR1 / GeForce 2 GTS / Sound Blaster / 60GB Maxtor Diamondmax (noisy buggers that died often lol)



That case I custom modded, it was pretty terrible a job, spray can paint lol... went round a mate's house and together we dremelled our cases with windows, cut glass, added CCFL lights etc. Good times.

OcUK had not long been open then too, I recall buying a few bits for that build from them lol. Also seeing that pic has reminded me how much I liked those old Sony open air headphones. Such a great sound but being 2000s Sony, they died exactly around warranty expiration and I bought another pair, which died ALSO around warranty expiration time. I had a Sony VCR that also died and some other Sony tech. Have not bought anything Sony ever since

The monitor dream of an ultra-wide OLED has finally arrived.

The monitor dream of an ultra-wide OLED has finally arrived.

What's the model number, or better yet, have a link for the monitor ?

Do one even better, there's a whole massive thread on it alone

World first QD-OLED monitor from Dell and Samsung (34 inch Ultrawide 175hz)

First models are 34 inch ultrawide QD-OLED panels with 175hz refresh. Both Dell and Samsung have announced a new gaming monitor with this panel Specs: 34 inch Ultrawide, 3440x1440 @ 175hz 10bit QD-OLED panel. 0.1ms response time, 99.3% DCI-P3 and 1 million:1 contrast ratio, 1000nits peak...

You should still be able to get it with a decent discount, many of us were able to get it for not far over £800 factoring in Quidco, credit card cashback and discount codes applied at checkout etc.

Nice looking monitor

How does it avoid burn in though? Static desktop images would surely ruin an oled?

Ah, not for me then unfortunately

My current LCD ultrawide also gets used for work.

My previous one did exhibit screen burn but I did wonder if it was because it was the first revision still running the first firmware, hence why this replacement is a 3rd revision on the 2nd firmware.

Will find out soon enough. The pixel and panel refresh actions are supposed to control screen burn as well as pixel orbiting. If these aren't working then it could be because of the firmware or hardware revision. I'll be able to confirm this now.

 

[IvanDobskey]

Does look a fantastic monitor though. Would love an oled. I have a 65 inch LG oled TV and it is superb.

 

[mrk]

Oh for sure, gaming on this and generally editing photos etc is very nice. Oled motion clarity and rwsponse combined with gsync and the colour accuracy are in a segment of their own for this format currently.

Were you using HDR on desktop or just SDR?

No, I do not use HDR in Windows, only when gaming or watching HDR content.

You are probably the first case of SDR inflicted burn in I've seen yet. Seen a few burn in cases but they were morons who blasted HDR1000 on Chrome all day.

 

[mrk]

My use case is quite unique in that WFH day and night so it gets used for pretty much all day and all night. Granted the refresh cycles run here and there throughout the day, so I guess some element of early revision issues probably contributed somewhat.

Back in the loft now but iMac replaced with a 14" MBP and an Apple Studio Display.

Things have changed over the last few months.

that fractal case is awesome I'm betting expensive :O

Yea it's not the cheapest but those 180mm RGB PWM fans are part of the cost.
