    I completely forgot to share that, haha. They are black. I'll take some photos tonight.

    SOLD: Audioengine HD3 speakers (Black, mint condition)

    I've had the speakers for 3 years, but they are in mint condition and will be shipped in the original box. I'm asking for $150 shipped to the lower 48. Heatware is in my sig.

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    Update: I decided to return the monitor. I'll try the MSI again if a firmware update is released to address the specific issues I've seen. I thought about trying the AORUS, but it looks like it is also having issues with the refresh not working properly in standby. Maybe they'll get the various...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    I switched the DP cable to a nice Thunderbolt 4 cable, plugged into my 7900 XTX USB-C port, and I still get the random lines, but now I also get a full screen artifact randomly when the lines are showing. With Adaptive Sync off it never happens, but with it on it seems to happen almost every...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    It seems to be back to normal now, after powering off and back on, so I don't know if it was just a one-time thing or will become a recurring issue. I'm thinking about trying a different DP cable and moving my USB devices directly to the PC to see if that alleviates the issues I've been having...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    As much as I like the OLED panel I'm very annoyed by this monitor. In addition to the USB being unreliable, now it's getting stuck in a loop where the power light turns white for a few seconds then displays a No Signal screen and then goes back to standby for around 10 seconds. (This is while...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    I'm about ready to give up on the KVM and USB features of this monitor. I tried switching over from my work MacBook Pro to my PC as usual, but this time it wouldn't switch over the USB. The process I use is to unplug the MBP and then wake the PC from sleep, and it has been switching over...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    It's been automatically running every afternoon the first standby after passing 4 hours. The only change I've made was the setting from "Off" to "Standby", and I found a discussion on Reddit where someone was discussing that being the case for them as well. I know when it runs because the power...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    I found an interesting side effect after switching the Power Button setting to "Standby". Panel Protect no longer runs automatically upon standby after 4 hours of use. I checked the OSD and it showed 8 hours 25 minutes since the last time it ran, so I manually initiated it. Edit: Someone on...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    It turned out to be a setting on the monitor. By default the Power Button setting is set to "Off". That means that the monitor is completely off including USB when pressing the button, and it also affects how the monitor behaves when in standby. Setting that to "Standby" results in the USB...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    The USB disconnecting during standby is an annoyance when connected to my MacBook Pro. Since the keyboard and mouse can't wake it, I have to open the lid, and my USB DAC doesn't reconnect. I have to disconnect the USB-C cable and reconnect it for the DAC to reconnect. It also results in my work...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    I think its VRR related. I turned off Adaptive Sync in the monitor while it was happening and it immediately stopped. Do you have GeForce or Radeon graphics? I have a RX 7900 XTX.

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    I've seen a strange issue where lines start appearing on the screen. It happened last night after waking the screen from standby. The bottom of the screen had a 1 pixel line that went across the entire screen, plus random short lines throughout. I power cycled and it went away. It just started...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    I have some more observations after using for half a day, and seeing it in the dark. I'm in awe of the picture! I've been using an OLED for TV for 8 years, but having it for my PC is like experiencing it for the first time all over again. I pushed it a little further back on my desk, and that...

    MSI QD-OLED Monitors 2024

    I received the MPG 321URX today, and I absolutely love it! My top concern was that brightness wouldn't be enough for me, but I can't tell any difference from my Dell U3223QE. I've been using the Dell at 75%, which I believed was 300 nits since its a 400 nit monitor, but it must not be a linear...
