Is getting the zowie 540 hz xl2586 at 530 usd worth it? The new monitors were announced today so it might be a clearance sale. Is this a good price for this monitor? I have seen a lot of issues people have reported in this sub for lines, dots, etc. I have a 360 hz oled but would like to get this for the increased motion clarity
There are not a lot of reports for this exact spec but similar spec laptops as reviews by JarrodTech and others suggest a decent battery life of 11h. This is coming from reviewers and at the same time I have seen reports from users that they get around 4-5 hrs battery life.
​
What is the battery life of this laptop for average use like youtube, documents, etc? It has the 83Wh battery in it .. any current owners of this could please share their experience?
I have noticed the lowest price being around ~98-99K when people have stacked card cashback and student discount.
​
Apple BTS would offer it at 109k with 17k airpods 4 anc bringing the effective price to 91K. Is this the lowest possible price for M5 Air?

I have been maining turret and beam for a while now. Turret feels good in holding the cashout, and wasting enemy resources (like an RPG could be used on the turret instead of on you) but some randoms in my team really hate it, calling it the worst tactical in the game.
​
​
​
Beam feels good but sometimes it feels i could do more to help the team by shooting and damage instead of healbotting. Plus the dome healer of heavy heals passively multiple people which is so much better.
​
​
Shockwave is like light dash on a budget. Dematerialzer feels good but not sure if it's really the best.
​
​
Basically which is the best tactical for medium to bring the most value to the team? It certainly depends on situations, but overall which one has the highest success rate?
Light has a glitch grenade which is a direct counter to this. But I haven't found anything in mediums arsenal that can help against the bubbles.
​
How do you deal with heavy bubbles as a medium?
I got a recommendation for this show from "From"'s subreddit. So far I absolutely love Widows bay, it's setting and the characters. Horror is my favorite genre and this show absolutely nails it. The comedy is also a big plus. The characters are really memorable like Wyck, Patricia, Williams, etc.
I was wondering if there are any other shows like this? Good pacing, fantastic characters, mostly horror oriented? I really liked Midnight mass (Richard in Widows bay is the main character there, and it was nice surprise to see the protagonist of that show here), From, Solo, severance, haunting hill house, haunting of bly manor.
I am looking for more hidden gems basically like this show. Are there any good recommendations for the actors? Like Wyck is from office space which is an amazing film and it's my first time seeing the rest of the cast. Is any of there other work worth watching ?
Also does anybody know if there's going to be a second season? It would be a shame if they stopped here.

Both are nearly the same price. The 8gb ram on the pro is a bit concerning but the thing is my use case is going to be mostly netflix and documents, and not any video editing or rendering work. The pro's display sounds very good on paper, miniled with 120 hz..
Is there anyone that has used both the m5 air and m3 pro? Is the display quality a really stark between the two or it's not noticable ar all?

So it's rumoured zowie will launch their 2k 25 inch 360 hz monitor in June. Is it worth buying an Nvidia pulsar over this? Nvidia pulsar can run easily with freesync so main limitation of zowie monitors requiring fixed refresh is no longer there.
Is dyac 3 going to be better/comparable to Nvidia pulsar motion clarity?
I have an Alienware aw2725df 360 hz oled monitor. I am looking to buy a zowie monitor for the competitive edge but not sure which one is the right one for me.
My options are XL2546X (240 Hz, around $420) or XL2586X (540 Hz, around $700). I play the following games with average fps mentioned in parentheses - Finals (300-320 fps), BF6 (240-300), Rivals (280-300 fps), Overwatch (550 fps).
I had the following queries -
Is the 240 hz zowie a better buy in my case? I don't play alot of cs or val and can't hit the 540 fps mark in the games i do play
Is 240 hz / 540 hz zowie an upgrade over oled 360 hz for the games i have mentioned? I was inclinded towards 540 hz but I also know I can't hit those frames in the games i play. Whereas i can hit 240 fps In every game i play so dyac2 would function as intended with no double images
Is it worth paying around 50-55% more for the 540 hz variant even if I am not hitting 540 fps in game?
I can get 300 fps average in game. Which one is better? A) running 240 hz, dyac2 on with 240 fps cap B) running 540 hz, dyac2 on with no fps cap, frames averaging 300
Which one would you pick in this case?

Dyac 2 and maximum refresh rate (600 hz) can give the lowest possible motion blur but the issue is most PCs can't hit 600 fps outside cs2, valorant, overwatch, and R6. Here we can just run the monitor at 600 hz with dyac 2 on.
Some games like apex has an engine limit (300 fps) whereas some like marvel rivals are just hard to run (UE5). What is the best possible anti motion blur solution for these games?
Following are the few options I have seen (assume the game is running at 300 fps)
Turn on dyac 2 with 600 hz even though the fps is much below the refresh rate (say the game is running at 300 fps). Hardware unboxed and others say this let's to some artifacting or some other issues
Turn off dyac 2 with 600 hz with game at 300 fps. 600 hz is already good and dyac 2 is not needed, and the issue of scenario 1 won't be present here
Turn on dyac 2, set a custom refresh rate of 280 and lock the fps to the max one can achieve (say 280 fps is being achieved 95% of the time)
I am thinking that if scenario 1's issues are true then it's better to run oled for games other than cs2, val, etc where hitting 600 fps isn't possible..
Is there a list for one or two item that counters a character perfectly?
For e.g.
Healbane/Spiritburn for Victor
Metal skin/Knockdown for Haze
Knockdown for Vindicta, Seven(before he buys unstoppable)
Counterspell/Indomitable for Lash
.. and so on. The items that make the game unplayable for these characters when the enemy team has 2 or 3 of them

I have a Tekkusai Singularity. I have tried the titanium u9s but I have this noticed that it feels very scratchy, and it's also loud. Because of that scratchy feeling it's very uncomfortable to use.
I'd like something that would be comfortable to use with no scratchy feeling. I have tried 4, 6, 8, 10 titanium u9 dots and it still feels as if the base of the mouse is scratching the pad every time I use it.
I am using a razer viper mini.
I was thinking of getting obsidian pro air upe universal dot or donuts ..

In my games when he is fed, he is very hard to take down.
I understand he is extremely powerful when your isolated against him but even in a team fight he hits hard.
Are there any items that can hard counter him? Like Can dispel magic remove his mark so that he can't tp? Is there any item that can remove the blind from his ult?
I mostly run Geist or Mirage.
Reactive barrier activates against stuns, immobilisation, chain, etc but does it work against apollo ult?
is reactive barrier a better buy against paige, graves where they stun you alot or is it better to buy dispel?
How to properly counter close range melee life stealers like Billy, Abrams, Yamato, etc?
I have been having a lot of troubling against these heroes lately as once they get close it's game over.
Building against spirit heavy or bullet heavy heroes is straightforward as one can buy spirit/bullet res, spellbreaker/metalskin and it works out.
Lately billy, Abrams and yamato have been going lobby admin in my games with 15+ kills. I try to buy healbane if it's early and spirit burn in late game to deny healing and rebuttal but it still doesn't feel enough.
Is there a general strategy and reliable items that would work majority of the time? Abrams had 56k healing even tho I had healbane and focus lens directly on him. Yamato just grapples from the other side of the map at 20% hp and still ends up winning. Like one would expect her to run but she becomes more aggresive when at low hp. I have also ran juggernaut in late game but I feel I really need something else to make a difference like metal skin against haze ult. Is there any such items against them especially when they are fed?
I have seen the general wisdom of buying it first and then eating at 10 min mark. But I have also seen some m1 carries characters that only fight the best in late game (wraith, victor, mirage, etc) hold on to it till the 25-30 min mark.
I think for the gankers like mina, lash etc it's better to eat it at 10 min and for m1 carries it's better to eat it at 25-30min. Not sure whether this is a good idea or not?
Also is the goose egg farming stats mechanix fixed? Because some people would get 20k souls and spam egg to get massive buffs.
