I'll admit that I find weird that now monitors need firmware updates.

Why is it weird? It could be done before, but generally not by the user. And need... Well, in this case it adds some features and fixes some issues.

It's weird to me because I saw monitors as this thing that you simply used as it was, at most adjusting its color profile or resolution/refresh rate (and most of this done through the OS settings). I suppose that I simply didn't realize how complex the display hardware has become.

Most TV's these days have 1 or more usb ports Same as some monitors.
the TV firmware is / can be updated by end user via os menu with new firmware on usb stick
I expect the same can be done to this monitor

Eh? My TV let's me know when there's a new update and you simply select update and off it goes. No need to fiddle with USB sticks and manual downloads.
This monitor does it via the Windows software it comes with, again no need to plug in a USB drive.

They've never been quite that simple, but in the past it was done over a serial interface or similar. It was rare to have user upgradeable firmwares. I think it's a good thing, as the display standards are getting more and more complex, although at the same time, we're becoming beta testers for more and more hardware, so I guess this is why things are being fixed with an update later on the days.

Wait a minute, so this monitor updates its firmware over the HDMI cable? Obviously not, it has to be connected to USB. So it is practically the same as connecting a USB stick.

No, it's still over USB, but over a cable from the PC, not a USB drive...
But you knew that...

Not sure if I'd trust in a Professionell PSU... But hey, at least you got the thumb screws for free! They didn't bother to include them with my unit.

You certainly shouldn't. That PSU bears intertech markings, a name Deer switched to when people realized their PSUs were cleverly disguised electronic bombs.

He most likely has a genuine Deer PSU. Few are worse.

windwhirl said:
Looks like German, considering the PSU sticker.

That's what the forest animal PSU ilumanti want you to think...

They are worth their money. I have six of them in my main rig and four in my home theater system and love to play around with different color profiles all day

Never understood the point in people hating rgb. Just because it defaults in unicorn puke doesnt mean you have to keep it that way. You could literally change it to any color you want instead of having to buy new fans each time you wanna color swap. Hell right now, I have a christmas theme going with reds, greens and whites.

What? No Noctua fans?

I got three included with my 500D SE RGB Case. That case comes with those three fans and a Commander Pro for 249,99€. Not a bad deal tbh.
The other triple pack I got for 74,90€ on Prime Day back in 2018.
For my HTPC a got another triple pack for 64,90€ in Cyber Week and a single one for 27,90€.

And yes, I looked into my order history for that :laugh:
