msi mpg 341cqr turns grayscale after waking up my mac from sleep

I recently bought this monitor and I tried testing out HDR on my macbook. It was doing well but when I shut down my laptop or put it to sleep sometimes it would turn on with greyed colours for the entire screen. I don't have a picture but it was like this video at the start. Its fine if I turn off the monitor and turning it back on again. But it's starting to get quite annoying. I can't update the firmware as I haven't built my gaming pc right as I can't download gaming intelligence on Mac. Anyone encounter this issue before?

Samsung 990 pro 2tb vs WD Black sn850x

Hi, I have a 990 pro 2tb ssd that I haven’t used yet for a future build but I can get a sn850x for 90€ cheaper. Is this worth it? Is there any performance difference for general gaming / browsing. Any help is appreciated!

Impulse bought the hd 490 pro

I’m a beginner when it comes to sound and audio stuff, and I wanted a high-quality pair of headphones for gaming and general audio use. I landed on the HD 490 Pro, but I honestly have no idea about any of this audio-related stuff, so I’d be glad if someone could show me around a bit.

I’m thinking of getting the FiiO KA11 for my iPhone, and I was wondering if the UGREEN DAC is similar to it since it’s about €20 cheaper. Heck, I don’t even know what a DAC and amp do.
Anyone have any recommendations for something for the iphone?

Having never owned proper headphones before, I’m starting to feel like I might have wasted money. My PC motherboard is the MSI B850 Tomahawk, which uses the ALC4080 codec, and I’m worried about having to spend even more money on a DAC when I could’ve just gone for a decent pair of wireless headphones.
Anyone been in a similar situation, or anyone with more experience who could give me some advice?

New to PC building and ultrawide monitors also monitors in general, looking for advice

I'm currently planning my first PC build and I'm finding the monitor side of things a bit confusing since I have no experience with this stuff.

I'll be using the monitor for both gaming and software development for my job, so I'm looking for something that works well for both. I've been looking at ultrawides and from what I've seen, 34-inch models don't seem quite tall enough for me. A 38-inch ultrawide looks like it might be a better fit.

For people who have experience with these monitors, what are the best 38-inch ultrawides that are good for gaming and productivity? I know that right now LG and AW are releasing their own 39 inch 5k2k ones. Also, when I used to watch people talk about their monitors they would be 240/360hz why is that there is never any ultrawides that go up to this?

Any recommendations or things I should know before buying would be appreciated. Thanks.
