    PCSPECIALIST Choice of monitor, G9 or 4K ?

    I went for the JSAUX 8K DP 1.4. It gets plenty of 4 and 5 star reviews and appears to support very high refresh rates. Sadly, the South American river supplier has a delay so it will either arrive today or tomorrow.

    PCSPECIALIST Choice of monitor, G9 or 4K ?

    The G9 arrived last night, a few hours after my PC. The G9 is incredible. I had a bit of a panic in that I used an HDMI cable as the high spec DP cable is on it's way from the South American river store. I switched the display to HDR and the screen went black. Get out of that one ! Fortunately...

    That's an example of a market in a gap instead of a gap in the market. Both are a commercial opportunity.

    They appear to be a sales channel for Samsung Direct so should there be an issue then there's the web pages for support at https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/contact/ I did scour the web pages at PCSpecialist but could not find monitors for sale however I remember there being an option to add...

    Selfridges online for £1049 with next day delivery. It appears they don't just sell fridges :LOL:

    The G9 is ordered and will arrive tomorrow. My PC is arriving tomorrow as well so that's my weekend entertainment taken care of.

    I see this discussion is heading in one direction. 🤔

    PCSPECIALIST Choice of monitor, G9 or 4K ?

    Thanks guys. I read that there are issues with Nvidia 30 series cards and 240Hz with Samsung. I guess there's no real degradation running at 120Hz until the issue gets patched. I'm edging towards the G9 but streaming 4k content is another consideration. I can always use the main TV for that so...

    PCSPECIALIST Choice of monitor, G9 or 4K ?

    Hi all, I have a system being tested at the moment prior to dispatch which will come with a Nvidia 3080 GPU, Ryzen 9 5900x processor and plenty of RAM. I will order a new monitor which will be used for work, gaming and flight sims. The question is whether to go for a Samsung G9 or a standard...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST ASUS ROG Strix 3080

    Is it possible to change an order from a normal 3080 to a Strix 3080 ? The option is greyed out on the card selection menu when I try to change my order. Live chat says that no agents are available.

    The ASUS ROG Strix 3080 is greyed out on the selection panel. Is it possible to swap to this model from the standard 3080 ?

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cannot add RGB fans due to case fan limit

    As a major customer of Corsair, I am sure PCS can be sold a box of single components if they don't have a useful spares bin. A response of "we'll see if we have one when we build your rig, if we can then we will" would have been far better.

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Cannot add RGB fans due to case fan limit

    I have a Corsair 680x on order and to my surprise, the rear exit fan is not RGB. I spoke to PCS and asked if I could buy a single RGB LL140 RGB fan and have them swap out the stock fan. The answer was a resounding "no". PCS do not alter cases, even when it's a very simple task. It's one of the...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    I'm looking at a wide range of kit at the moment. I'm a hobby pilot and am keen to use Fs2020 to practice approaches and procedures into airfields that I am not familiar with. My kids are also into racing games so 3D appears to take everything to the next level. I know this is a bit of thread...
