There are hardly any reviews or discussion about this monitor, despite being the cheapest IPS black monitor available, and with hardware calibration. Does anyone have personal experience with it?

I have the opportunity to buy the above combo in 'open box' condition for $1,500 USD. Does this seem like a reasonable price? Would you go for it?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am wondering what the differences are specifically between the Antec Performance 1 FT compared to the Antec Performance 1 Silent. My understanding from reading the product page is that the only differences are the side panels being sound insulated metal instead of glass, and having slightly different fans. Is this true? Are there any other differences I'm not aware of?

And are the thermals equivalent between the two? Is there anything that could cause the Performance 1 Silent to have inferior thermals compared to the standard version?

Thank you

I'm considering buying a Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX, however I've seen reports of the Gigabyte Z790 lineup having coil whine issues.

To those who have experience with the Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX: has anyone experienced coil whine on this particular model? Most coil whine reports I see online seem to be for the Z790 UD AC or Z790 Aorus Master, though some say the entire Z790 range is impacted.

To those who have experienced coil whine on any Gigabyte board: did the issue present itself immediately or did it come on progressively? I want to ensure I can return the board if it does have the issue, but that wouldn't be possible if it can come on at a later point.

Thanks!

TIFU. I made an unfortunate series of fuckups with my brand new BenQ HT2050A while setting it up:

• Firstly, I didn't push the power cord in all the way when I first set it up. I thought it was in all the way, but later found out that it needed a lot of force to go in fully.

• While adjusting its position and keystoning to fit my setup, I moved its position a bit, which made the slightly loose power cord lose its connection briefly, cutting power to the projector.

• I knew this was bad since it couldn't do its cooling cycle, but I didn't know what to do about it: let it cool naturally or turn it back on for the fans to power up and cool it actively? I panicked for a bit, then made the w
