toben67 reacted to o0Martin in Asus ROG SWIFT vs Acer XB270HU side by side comparison image quality.
Basically they used a click bait title on one of their videos and now everyone who either didn't watch the video, or doesn't understand what it was saying thinks there is no point in buying a G Sync monitor <_<
And @toben67 if you wanted an IPS Panel, and if you are able to wait a while longer then you could pick up either of the new alternatives to the two you mentioned.
The PG279Q or the XB271HU
They should come in at the same price that the older versions are now, and the PG279Q will be 165Hz, while the XB271HU may be 150Hz (random I know) with a major design change.
PG279Q: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/442850-asus-rog-swift-pg348q-pg279q-refresh-rate-updates-100hz-165hz-ifa-2015/page-1 Release is at the start of 2016
XB271HU: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/442851-acer-predator-xb-series-updates-g-sync-ifa-2015/ Release in October/November 2015
And about the reviews on the MG279Q it's all mainly due to bad quality control issues, however you have to keep in mind that people are more likely to leave a review if they are unhappy with the product then they are if they are enjoying it, and all these high end new tech displays have had some sort of bad quality control issues. So if you want to save a bit of money and drop G Sync then the MG279Q is a fantastic option, and if you are unlucky enough to get a bad sample then you should be able to return it for a good one anyway.
So yeah up to you.

toben67 reacted to TumbleButt in How much do you care and would spend on audio
Come to think of it, I feel like laughing at guys who go like "$1000 on headphones? You could've bought a gaming rig for that amount of cash! You wasted your money" but fail to realize that after 5 years, at best, its going to crawl and maybe die out while a pair of headphones could still be running like an AK-47... You'd have to run it over with a tank at some point to get it to stop working. Yeah, headphones are future proof or atleast last much longer than gaming rigs. Thats why I don't mind the price tag of a fair lot of headphones provided they do justify their pricetag. I mean, my HD600 could last 10 years more, and I still see a fair lot of HD580's still being used.

As long as they don't sound like complete shit I'm fine, my big thing about headphones is comfort.

toben67 reacted to Atmos in Best looking 4 seater car
That car is literally hideous, that is seriously one of the most vile and disgusting things I've ever laid eyes on. Why would anyone on earth purchase that squat box? No, that goes right up there on the wall of BAD with the 4 door fiat and that disgusting porshe suv. I have lost all faith in humanity because of you. Thanks

toben67 got a reaction from Oskar94a in Any reason to go Z170 over Z97
I think there is enough leaked information like what type of RAM its using and how many cores and threads and what not the 6th generation will have.

Only difference is CPU? The i7 is better for those uses listed.

toben67 reacted to 79wjd in Netgear R7000 vs ASUS AC68U
I opted for the AC68u since I prefer the GUI -- the support is useless though.

Now that is some epic imagery.
I'd buy this just to feel like a metal owl of awesomeness. I don't even care if they are practical.

You don't buy something based on performance and reliability.

toben67 reacted to XxDeadpool67xX in R9 290, 290x or GTX 970?
Exactly though the lowest 290x is ~$270 The lowest decent 970 is ~$320 he did say he wanted low as posible so if he doesn't want to overclock. Doesn't care about noise power and heat the 290x is fine great.
