I can't believe I go to SD to actually see this. I got a good chuckle out of this online banter, like it took me back to CoD lobbies DECADES ago. Hahah
Im just messing around and having some fun with it. Glad you got a laugh 😂.

I just tried it and the page wasn't working but I'll try again later. I wish I would have known about it sooner. Just bought a refurb laptop off Ebay over the weekend and was looking for the best cashback deals. Thanks!! Maybe I can get them to apply it retroactively.
Just saw this. Canceled and reordered. Thanks

I'm new to gaming PCs, so here's a noob question. Why is it important for a monitor to have USB-C?

Quote from Trex29 :
Everyone keeps saying 32 is too big. Is there a reason you feel 32 is better than your 27 one? Thanks in advance ☺️
It depends really, some gamers like to see the bigger pixels as it can be a competitive advantage when you're looking for 1 pixel to determine when someone's peeking in an FPS, but generally you want to be able to have a whole field of vision without moving your head left or right to take in everything going on. Curved screens are supposed to make this a little better, but I haven't had much experience with curved screens myself.

Otherwise, the other possible problem is pixel density which is a factor for making the content on the screen look better generally which might be more important for single-player non-competitive experiences. The bigger the screen, the higher the resolution you'd want so you don't see the pixels when you're taking in the experience (whether a game or movie); this can be partially alleviated by distancing your face away from the screen which is typically the case when you're watching TV or playing console games. For PC usage, you're generally pretty close to the monitor so the opportunity is higher that you'll be able to discern the pixels. The other downside is even if the monitor can push those higher resolutions, your hardware might require a significant upgrade to support it.

Back to pixel density, this monitor's PPI (pixels per inch) is 93. The Dell U2722D's (27-inch) is 109. As mentioned before, TVs tend to have lower PPI since it takes into account the distance most people would be from it, the LG OLED55C1PUB's (55-inch 4K) is 80 while the much bigger LG OLED83C1PUA's (83-inch 4K) is 53. The whole idea of TVs going 8K is to close that gap and make content look crisper for really large displays (if you stick your face close enough to the TV to make out the difference), so the LG OLED88Z2PUA's (88-inch 8K) is 101.

In contrast, most smartphones (because you're likely to stick it right in front of your face) have a much higher PPI, the Google Pixel 6 Pro's is 411.

Grabbed one of these. I got the 27" version from amazon for $180 and love it. Figure I could sell the 27" for nearly what I paid and use this bigger one instead.
got a link fo the 27 in version?

Which Nvidia graphics card would pair nicely with this monitor? 3060, 3070,3080?
Well that dispense on how many pesos you have to spent. Also what your rig looks like including the PSU. Best Price Performance would be 3070 for 499 or AMD 6700xt for 399 at BB. However if you aren't tight on moneys and got the right PSU go for the bigger cards. More FPS = better gaming performance...

If using 32 inch for gaming it better be curved. Because this is basically a tv

These monitors will continue to drop in price with the over production due to the pandemia.
I don't like this one much - only 1 HDMI and 1 DP and no speakers. I hook it up to a laptop and speakers are a must for boring meetings. The bezel and back are too thick compared to the LG one. But good price, though
Your laptop speakers will sound better than any built in monitor speakers

Yeah it should do fine for productivity and watching content. If you watch content, don't sit too close and the image quality will look pretty good.

To each their own, I personally try not to shop at Best Buy due to bad past experiences. To me BB and GameStop are both companies I wouldn't mind if they disappeared overnight.
My speculation: Without BB, Amazon wouldn't have had the deal, and there would be less competition = bad for consumers.
