Hey there,

I'm hunting for an ultrawide monitor with a 2560 x 1080 resolution. Honestly, I’m leaning toward a 29" instead of jumping up to a 34" because, let's face it, the pixel density on a 34" at that resolution isn't great, plus it'll blow a hole in my wallet. I'll be using it for gaming, work (mostly juggling endless PDF files and massive Excel sheets), and just general browsing. I might even need it for some SolidWorks work down the road if things get heavy. Since I've only got about $667 to spend, I'm stuck choosing between two Samsung models:

http://www.lg.com/hr/monitori/lg-29UM69G which I spotted over at Best Buy for roughly $667

and

http://www.lg.com/hr/monitori/lg-29WK600-W which looks like it's only available through some random online vendor for $627. I know buying from those off-brand sites is always a gamble, especially if I actually need to deal with a warranty claim later.

The second one is the newer model—it’s got better brightness (300 cd/m² vs 250 cd/m²) and better colors thanks to the HDR effect. The only thing it lacks compared to the first one is motion blur reduction.

There's one thing eating at me regarding both models: is it actually possible to hit 75 fps in games when you turn on Adaptive Sync? Can anyone weigh in on that or just tell me which one to grab? Also, how much does that motion blur reduction actually matter? I'm not some pro FPS sweat; I'm just a casual player. My main plan is to sink a lot of time into flight sims like Microsoft Flight Simulator, assuming my Lenovo IdeaPad 3 can even handle it with its Ryzen 7, GTX 1650 max-Q, and 8 GB of RAM...

Thanks,

...honestly, I can't even take someone seriously once I see them typing in purple font.....

It’s just not working for me on my phone, not even when I try using Opera

Has anyone else out there who does plasma donations ever had a nerve get nicked, bumped, or just totally messed up during the needle stick? It happened to me last time. It’s been about a week now, but I’m still dealing with this weird issue whenever I try to straighten my arm—there's this constant burning sensation deeper down in my forearm. Right when they poked me, it felt like a sharp, stinging burn in the lower half of my inner forearm. The nurse mentioned she probably hit or touched a nerve running through there, or maybe just nicked it, or whatever... I can't quite remember her exact wording. But man, it definitely isn't pleasant. And it's going to be even worse if this takes forever to heal, which, fingers crossed, it won't.

I’ve got an adblocker running on Chrome, but honestly, it doesn't even matter... everything is still dragging like crazy...

All I do is kill the loading process and hit refresh, then—boom—the page pops right up. It’s fast, sure, but man, this whole stop-and-go dance is driving me absolutely insane. It feels like driving a car where the engine stalls every ten feet. Honestly, I'd rather just hand over $3.25 and let every single person active on here go out and buy themselves a decent little server from a place like Amazon
. Just get it over with.

Yeah, yeah, you can just grab it at the drugstore—no prescription needed, obviously. It’ll run you about $37. The tube looks pretty small, I know, but if you're just doing a moderate application on your face, it actually lasts like two or three months.

And look, I don't think I was being crystal clear earlier. I’ve been using this cream for, what, a year now? Maybe a little more. Honestly, I have no clue if the redness would just come roaring back if I quit cold turkey... sometimes I skip a day or two and the flushing doesn't show up, but I haven't exactly tested the waters by going ten days or more without it.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever messed around with Sensibio DS cream. I deal with seborrheic dermatitis myself—it mostly hits my scalp—but lately, I started getting these angry red patches right above my lip. Honestly? This cream basically fixed it for me. Like, they aren't even noticeable anymore. No itching, no stinging, nothing. Just gone.

And here I was thinking I was the one losing my mind, completely blanking on that scene where he absolutely wrecked that guy's face... total disaster... those hacks are just pathetic, honestly.

So you're just poking around, testing the waters to see if you can get a taste without getting hooked, huh? Well, go ahead... take the plunge...

So, I’ve been taking those Hawaiian Noni tablets... and honestly? I don't feel a single thing from them. Not even a little bit. Nothing at all.

Look, just leave it alone... you’re gonna end up looking like a total clown over one single hair... just let it grow out a little bit longer, okay?

So, tell me, you got a cat or a dog keeping you company at home?

Bryan Wood49 said:It’s not late by a damn second, but it’s definitely lagging... honestly, it kills the whole vibe when you can't keep up with the conversation. It just ruins the fun.😁

So I’m guessing the webcam feed is just as garbage? Or maybe even slower? How's the picture quality holding up? Is there even any point in bothering with this?

Bryan Wood49 said:It’s not late per se, but man, it’s dragging... honestly, what's even the point? You lose all the momentum when you're just waiting around for things to happen.😁

So I guess the webcam feed is just as garbage? Or maybe even slower? How’s the picture quality looking?

Since we’re already talking about Microsoft, can you actually have a decent conversation using a headset over a basic dial-up modem, or is the audio lag just going to be absolute garbage? I haven't tried it yet, so I figured I'd ask first.

I know this guy who’s been getting played by the same girl since we were in middle school—practically every single day. Honestly, the dude’s brain is a little fried, he just can't seem to catch on to what's happening. He's 20 now, though.

I’ve been dealing with this whole seborrheic dermatitis mess, and honestly, it’s been a total money pit. I kept throwing cash at every random shampoo I could find, thinking one of them would actually work, but nothing changes—if anything, my skin just gets worse. If I’d had any sense back then, or if I actually had the bankroll to afford the real medical-grade stuff, maybe I wouldn't be in this hole.
