Alienware AW3425DWM, everybody who visits me keeps thinking it's some super expensive monitor when I got it for less than 250 bucks brand new lol. Honestly coming from IPS the contrast is just 🤌, and it's also very consistent without much backlight bleed. I found out that 10 bit colours are only supported at 144hz and not it's max of 180hz so I run it at 144 to get the best colours, since I'm not a super competitive gamer, but mostly because my poor laptop can't run it. And yeah 3440x1440p is imo the best resolution for performance, sharpness, and productivity. I was literally more productive since getting this monitor.

I wish the stand could go just a little higher and the viewing angles are kinda ass, and that's my only real complaint.

Since buying this, I switched to Linux, no issues. I changed my desk setup and DROPPED it, not a hard impact, no issues as well.

It's also a very sleek and clean design, no crazy sharp edges like some other brands so that's nice. 250 bucks? Worth it!

Mmm yes. Luxury space yacht.

I haven't built a single corvette after this one, so I've forgotten how I made it... but I don't really mind, its super pretty. But the visibility is absolutely terrible, you HAVE to fly in third person.

Originally an under engineered monitor base far too flawed to be used, this grey stand now acts as... whatever this is.

I hacked off the square lug where the monitor stand used to attach and made this tray thing to hold... stuff I guess. At least it looks super fancy.

Can't let the filament go to waste.

The A1 printed it flawlessly as usual, love this printer and community.

My first actual design actually works wait what no issues how is that even possible. I put quite a fair amount of force on it to test and even with 30kg+ it was fine!

Can't believe the A1 is technically their budget printer.

Switched to CachyOS with Plasma 6, got a 10-25% performance uplift in all the games I play, lovely, never going back.

Laptop is Lenovo Slim Pro 7 14ARP8, Ryzen 7 7735hs, RTX 3050. Kind of a sleeper. Monitor is AW3425DWM. Keyboard is Ajazz AK820 Max (40 bucks, best value thing I ever bought).
