Even I saw this post. Lol.
I bought the ASUS PG279Q
its a lottery on those panels, microLED needs to hurry the fuck up and save us.
Contact your gov consumer protection agency, you'll probably get either a refund or a warranty replacement after they send an angry letter to whoever sold that panel to you.
Assuming you bought it from a Norwegian seller.
Our agency here in Finland has been pretty great, I haven't needed their help yet but I've talked with people who've gotten help from them. They've gone after just about anything from small local shops to big fish like DHL.
Just got this bad larry for an awesome deal, shows up saturday evening. allegedly it gets "hair dryer loud" so um, that'll be fun, I guess. specs look good though.

Will we ever see OLEDs or MicroLEDs in a monitor panel? OLEDs have been around for a while but still no monitor uses it. I think we're doomed to traditional displays here in PC world
It seems like I'll get it sorted without too much hassle. I can send it back and get my money back, and they were kind enough to give me a discount too as I bought it on a sale. I had to write a passive aggressive fueled mail to get that tho. I'm just upset because I expected that a monitor at this price would be close to flawless, not riddled with QC problems. Time to send it back and play the lottery until I either give up or get the perfect panel.
If it's not bad enough to go under warranty, return it and get your money back, then buy another one. There's clearly nothing wrong with the monitor if that's within spec. Repeat until you get an acceptable one.
If you bought it off of an online store, they should give you some sort of shipping label to make the return shipping free, too.
OLEDs don't get much usage in general because they have shit lifetime.
They're great on mobile phones where they spend 90% of their life turned off, the situation is a bit different for a computer display.
Not sure how the TVs are working out - I do know the manufacturing is completely different for the panels used in TVs, the market is basically split between small and big panels.
Question, anyone think this is legit?

since ram being at 1337 MHZ makes me kinda doubt it.
isn't it at 1892 Mhz
I too want the Windows task bar permanently burned into my monitor after 6 months
Possibly legit. Those chips clocked really high, a really good overclocker with a really good chip and really good cooling could totally get that. I don't know enough to spot small inconsistencies but that doesn't look completely impossible.
I'm going to assume that, since that's the #1 record and has been standing for six years, that it's faced scrutiny by experts more expert than I.
So how unrealistic is this then:

They're eating into their HEDT SKUs way too much there imo
I normally really like Adored, but I think he's expecting way too much from Zen 2.
I think entry-level chips will be quad-cores again, and go up to octo-cores on the desktop, not 16 cores.
I also think peak frequency will be around 4.8 GHz, with a base of 3.8-4.2. plus ~15% "IPC" improvement. This will put the Ryzen 3rd gen parts just faster than Coffee Lake refresh.
Dubious. We haven't even gotten a full Zen+ lineup yet, they wouldn't have a chart for Zen 2 like that yet, nor include when it's going to be announced. And yet it's too small to be the full lineup, and formatted like a marketing slide instead of an internal inventory thing like I'd expect from leaks around this time. The bump in core counts seems very trolly, not something I'd expect to see. Remember, current R3 is 4C4T, pushing it to 6C12T is kind of crazy. Getting above 8 cores would require some architecture changes, although we actually know that sort of architecture change is happening with that chiplet+IO die thing. But what's the chiplet size here? 4C per chiplet would require defective bins to make R3 work. And what's with the 3600G, if there's a GPU chiplet added I'd expect a price premium, not just some lowered clocks (wouldn't GPU->CPU thermal throttling be less an issue with physically separate dies?). Ryzen 9 seems odd - price puts it between R7 and Threadripper, but specs exceed some Zen+ TR chips, so it's either replacing it (why?) or they're pushing TR to even higher specs (32C baseline, up to 128C?). And the clocks are high. Like, it's just too good overall. Something designed to go viral among overhyped fanboys. The clocks are higher AND there's way more cores AND it's cheaper. AMD is good and I expect Zen 2 to kick ass, but not that much ass.
Overall verdict: don't trust. More likely fake than real. Maybe 20% chance it's legit.
Oh, misread the site, brain saw
G.Skill 2048 MB (DDR3-1337)
and thought it meet DDR3 @ 1337 MHZ
It would also invalidate the existience of Threadripper which is already incredible value for HEDT. I'm calling bullshit
Mhhm, beautiful beige. Your stuff looks so well preserved, that CRT looks pretty darn sharp too
Something about that setup just feels really cozy and nostalgic for some reason
Reminder of a simpler time in our lives.
Literally what Nostalgia is.
oh jeez
just checking, chrome should not be at around 30-40% CPU usage when playing youtube videos right? My gut tells me no. This is on a 3770k so it's not running on a potato or anything.
Generally no, though if it's 4K or HDR then it would make sense, Chrome has broken video playback in general.
So I recently got CompTIA A+ and Network+ certified and have a Microsoft Certified Professional exam pending. Are these actually all that useful or impressive? The "normal" folks who went through the course with me (as in literally every other attendee) pretty much always regarded me with awe over how fast and easily I got through it all, but I feel like among my own demographic - the kind of people who hang out on online forums like this - certs like this would just be seen as amateur-hour "baby's first tech certification" kinds of things that even literal retards could get. Like, "big whoop, any gamer who built their rig knows this stuff and you're not even running Linux, you plebeian" levels of novice.

That's nothing special if you're playing high resolution/high framerate VP9 without having a dedicated hardware decoder. Try watching some 4k60 videos if you really want to make it sweat.
Do you want the truth, or do you want to feel like you didn't waste time and money on those certs?
