I'm watching some playthroughs of Fallout 3 on YT by newcomers to the game and I forgot how much fun it is, and how different it is from Starfield. A well thought out map makes a big difference- the script and voice acting is great as well. Starfield just seems so repetitive and boring in...

I still have it sitting here because it's a hassle to get it to the corner, and I have to spend an extra $45 to dump it. I'm tempted to crack it open and replace the main circuit board (I've seen it for $50 on ebay) but I honestly don't think it's worth the effort. The LG C3 is so far away a...

I haven’t used it much but I’ve done what I could to mitiagate the burn in and dimming. As an every day display and a light gaming monitor it should do me fine, and I have the Geeksquad coverage if/when it does burn in. I have more of an issue with Gigabyte’s warranty coverage- they know full...

Mine is going in the trash. It no longer turns without going to a black screen. Unfortunately it will cost me over $100 to ship back (even with the discounted shippers like pirate ship) and then if I get it back and still have problems I have to pay to ship both ways. I just purchased a 42 C3...

First thing I tried. Believe me I tried everything- it's stuck in sleep mode with nothing plugged in at all.

Well, a lot of people are experiencing it- if you google "FV43U stuck in sleep" you'll find a lot of posts. I suspect that's why they extended the warranty from 1 to 3yrs. It could be just specific batches of the monitor has this problems. I'll send it back once- it will cost me approx $80 even...

It appears the FV43U has a serious design flaw. I am not the only one dealing with the exact same problem right now- the monitor gets stuck in sleep mode (even with the latest F07 firmware), and you have to turn on/off, unplug a million times to get the picture back. I don't want to pay to ship...

Nah. I just spoke to Gigabyte tech support. It’s completely dead now and out of warranty. Not worth shipping back (even if I could). I paid $600 for it not much more than. a year ago. Edit- spoke to Gigabyte Customer Support- they extended the warranty on this model to 3yrs so it’s still...

Yes, was happening with no other display connected. No devices worked with it at all over any inputs. The only way to get a picture is by connecting a second device to my pc and changing the refresh rate. Otherwise nothing else works. Now I just get a black screen on boot and hopefully turning...

Well, it died completely this morning. No inputs at all are working, can’t even get a menu in the screen, it just sort of blanks out and comes back. I tried the DisplayPort with both onboard gpu and 7900xtx, nothing. I tried USB C from my motherboard (has TB4 graphics out). Nothing. Tried...

I haven't tried HDMI- I'd rather just turn on and off the monitor. I think I'm going to be replacing it sooner rather than later. Maybe within a year or so- just waiting for the newer OLEDs.

Yes, everything wiped and updated. Still doesn't work quite right.

Well, this monitor just does not play nice with my 7900xtx at all- it's not like it was great with my 2080ti but this is just ridiculous. Every time I start my PC I have to turn off and on the monitor in windows hoping it will get a picture. As for sleep mode, forget it. I'm lucky to ever get...

If I do some music production I won’t need much more than 64GB-128GB anyways- part of the reason I wanted it was because of the onboard 10G NIC and TB4 ports.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I ended up selling the board and buying a used Asus ProArt X670E-CREATOR WIFI off Amazon Warehouse for $350. I know buying a used board (particularly an expensive one like this) is a crapshoot but it's fine. Have to say this is the nicest (and most...
