Were you using the Plasma as a monitor or second screen/TV? If monitor, how have you avoided burn-in? I had an older plasma with a big square burned in, but I got it cheap because of that. I've got the LG 55 OLED that does 1440 @ 120Hz (Gsync) and I really like it because I can't hardly read small monitors with bad eyesight, so I am ok it's not full 4k @ 120 (can do 4k 60Hz). I am slightly concerned about burn-in and that an LCD would last longer, but this is my first run with a TV as monitor and enjoying it so far. I do get mad at programs that don't allow me to move the HUD around, change the background and icon positions frequently, and set the screen saver at 2 minutes.

I thought the video was click-bait at first, but I can understand burn out and second-guessing. If make a 'venting' video helped him consolidate his thoughts and feel a little better than good on him. I hope he finds happiness in whatever he pursues, whether it be this or down-the-line something else.

I bought the kids a 2060 from EVGA's B stock to save some money for Christmas. I was hoping to blow them away as one likes flight sims. It replaced a 1050Ti and I did a new install of W10 so no driver conflicts. I made sure the rest of the system met system requirements and the install went fine, but within 5 minutes into the new OS the system hard-froze. I rebooted and it again locked within 5 minutes, but this time corrupted the install. I reinstalled a second time and again froze before even getting GeForce drivers on. I put the old 1050 back into the system and everything was stable. I contacted EVGA for a return. Weeks later with no contact they charged a restocking fee. I reached out and asked them to reconsider and they said no. I was out almost $80 between shipping and restock on an 'already opened/returned' B stock card that barely made it past windows login. I am bummed to loose the money out of my holiday budget and felt betrayed that I had been a fanboi of their products. The system had an EVGA PSU and EVGA 1050Ti. They kind of just tossed me aside over a restocking dispute; trying to discredit the issue. I've worked with Asus (GPU) and Corsair (PSU) RMAs in the past and always had great experiences. Anyways thanks for reading my story. I'm going to look for a new brand or maybe go back to Asus. I am willing to take suggestions.
