Just got this sweet 0-90 adjustable nautilus bench off craigslist. Its a heavy bastard. Shows barely any use. These gym grade benches cost a fortune new. Going to make a nice foundation for my small home gym. Actually fit in this Focus ST Hatch too.

My new 23.8" 1440p Dell S2417DG G-Sync monitor finally!!

Nice choice. The pixel density means less AA is needed and the visuals should be stunning.

Obviously I ripped Music and Stories From Fairyland first because the cover suggested it was bad low-budget animation -- it is not . Rather, it's a live-action fairy on the tail-end of meth binge signing to bunch of toddlers a song titled "Don't tell the Grown-ups".

haha what !??

Over packaged :, i guess they did not have any smaller boxes.

I thought it was going to be some creepy animated movie, but it's nothing like that at all.

I was checking these out a while back when I was considering upgrading my monitor ,if I had the $360 I would've bought it too(they r sexy). My preference for monitors is Dell, in my experience they last the longest by far.

I was keeping an eye on the prices for about 2 months and they were 526 Euros a while ago, a few weeks ago the price suddenly dropped at few shops and cheapest was 399,22 Euros shipping included so I ordered it right away!!
I was also looking at the same model but 27" size, but this one stayed at 600 Euros and in the end I thought it's just too big for me since I only sit at about 50~60cm from my monitor, also I love the high dpi from this 23.8", I'm currently playing GTA V with MSAA off, still good image quality!

I also looked at Acer Predator gaming monitors but they all came with 2 years of warranty and this Dell 3 years.

I have this one! If it's the Extreme variant.
I've never seen anything so fast.

Yup the Extreme.

Well there is the Extreme Pro (black and white colour combo) but it's twice the price (accompanied by some Mushkins and Corsairs).

I looked at a couple acer models , but there's something about the Dells that I just can't deny

Yeah the prices are probably a bit steeper when you're outside of the US. The lowest I think I saw that one was 350-360, but I just couldn't justify the cost. Kids trump goodies

. Not to mention my 2007 dell ultra sharp is still running strong no issues at all 1200p was uhd back then :laugh:

Yeah I'm very satisfied with it, love the high dpi and the extra desktop real-estate!

Sure they do.... specially their laptop, their screens are a bit more resilient (less than a month life for net/notebook and around 2 yrs for screen, which is quite short nonetheless, by personal experience ... heck even 1 Laptop i got from them did not even start correctly and had countless issues right out of the box ... )

Acer = direct in "do not buy" list ... :shadedshu:

had less issues with DELL for PC's nonetheless(tho i will never re-buy a ready to use rig) ... tho for screens i don't know... i tend to take Philips AOC or BenQ instead ... cheaper most of the time, still good quality and no gimmick added just to raise the price :laugh:

remixedcat · May 23, 2017

2 acer laptops here and they both fucky as well as I had one of thier monitors and it barely lasted 4 years! While my Samsung has lasted since 2010 and the LG since 2008. Now the acer when you use it it reminds me of an old CRT with flickering and distortion lol.
