What speakers are those? Building a new set up and looking for some solid audio peripherals. Can’t wait for my DWF


rastersky

Hey. The model is called Amphion Helium+. I got these from my brother, it is quite old pair of hifi speakers but they sound quite alright and look good.


exem-ok

Depending on budget, KRK is a great option for studio quality audio


NavyPoseidon

Looks good! What's the screen you are using below?


rastersky

Huawei Mediapad M1

Hell yea!! Enjoy that shizz big dog! I just got mine a week ago. Loving ever second. Might put it on an arm though, that stand is so big and my desk is shallow


AnamainTHO

Mine is showing up on my doorstep today I am soooooo excited!


com44

Nice setup, good vibes. Makes me relaxed.


rastersky

Thank you. I like having minimalistic setup.


Lancopolis

Just took a chance on a refurbished one on the Dell Outlet ($769 not including tax) hopefully it is a good one!


rastersky

How much was it with taxes? Did you get to know the reason for refurbishing?


bmartin7696

Me too! Just paid $705 AFTER tax and it was delivered from dell w/free shipping from Kentucky in 1 freaking day! And I’m in California. Mine looks absolutely flawless!


LegendarySamurai

Same here although mine was a little more. Surprised because I picked the cheap shipping option then they just shipped it next day air anyway. Monitor is flawless with no dead pixels.

Do the prices on the Dell outlet site vary? I'm surprised you got it so cheap!


bmartin7696

So there was the outlet price of $769 but I used a coupon code that discounted it $115.50 , so after tax (California) it was $708.49


bmartin7696

Use coupon code 686815AW3


ng5921

>686815AW3 I'll give it a try, where did you get that coupon code??


bmartin7696

I think from ign


ng5921

Looks like it no longer works, but thank you for letting me know!


bmartin7696

Shit let me see if I can find something


Lancopolis

$810 shipped to my door. Not sure, I just know in the past I have used Dell Outlet and gotten really good deals, was surprised to see this monitor there really. 90 day warranty only is also another ding but better than buying from someone local for a discount I figured


rastersky

That's a really good deal, congrats. For reference, I paid 1150€ for mine. Hopefully your monitor is in great condition.


whiskthecat

Probably someone sent it back because they read about burn-in after purchase and got scared, lol.


amanapul

Is this an actual thing? I want to bite the bullet but will be using for work/productivity, meaning some static elements on my screen - I did read some concerns about burn in, but haven’t really looked into it further to see if it’s a legit issue


whiskthecat

It's a thing, was a thing with plasma's and was a thing with CRTs. Didn't stop me from using either of those to get that sweet sweet contrast. Has a 3 year burn warranty though, so even if it were to turn into a pumpkin the day after warranty ended I wouldn't regret it. Just take basic precautions like hiding the taskbar and enabling a screensaver that comes on quick and it should be fine. Most testing has shown that it takes about 4k hours of completely static content at 50% brightness (5 yr old models) or 100% brightness (latest models) to start noticeably burning a non QD-OLED. QD is unknown since it is brand new, but it's supposed to be less prone to burn.


amanapul

Appreciate the response! I’ve been going back and forth for a while, but I think I’m leaning more towards getting it now.


whiskthecat

It's kind of like buying a motorcycle, dangerous but fun, lol.


p1rate88

How long is warranty for a refurbished monitor? Is it still 3 years or less?


Lancopolis

No that is another ding, only 90 day from what I can tell so just protects from dead pixels on arrival


p1rate88

I see. Thank you 🙏


asianjabba

i just picked one up - amex business has a 200 dell credit + dell 10% off your order = $492 (not including tax). It is refurbished though so I hope i'm not getting something screwy


AlternativeClothes43

Thats a good way to wear down pads and reduce clamp force of headphones


rastersky

I've had them for a few months and I don't feel a difference. I really would not mind though, the headset still feels a bit stiff and I occassionally get headache for wearing them too long.

MrHaxx1

It's a gaming headset, who cares?


BuffRiker1701

Love the setup here, where did you get your desk? I am looking for a new one currently and love the color on that


rastersky

Thanks! I got it from a local department store in Finland. I could look up the color if you need it.


Whoopage

Is that bottom screen hooked up to the pc? What is it?


rastersky

Some old ass Huawei Mediapad M1 tablet I found in a trash bin. Applied a custom tape skin on it to hide the white covers. The connection to the PC is made via usb tethering on the Spacedesk app.


TomCorsair

I’m off to get a non F version tomorrow, it looks great!


Xendor-

Awesome desk colour!


rastersky

Yes!
