LG CX 48" OLED 4K TV/Monitor [OLED48CXPTA]

I've been using this for 2 days now and it's totally amazing for both productivity and gaming sessions! Two thumbs up from me! (27-inch monitor in front for size comparison) Some clips while gaming:

Controllers: XSX, PS5

Microsoft Xbox Series X (Delivery Details)

Image
I had to use a Parcel Locker address so there's a DHL-to-Australia Post handover. So delivery was extended by a day. Australia Post DHL Note: Microsoft Xbox Series X console release date is today, November 10, 2020. Yes, I was able to nab a launch unit.

Benchmarking Friday

New BIOS and GPU driver updates so have to do these tests to make sure everything is still in shape.

LG UltraGear 38GN950-B

Not really happy with the dual 27-in QHD monitor setup for movies and gaming so I pre-ordered LG UltraGear 38GN950-B today. If this unit doesn't turn up in 2-3 weeks, then I might instead grab Alienware AW3821DW which will be released this Nov. 27th. Don't get me wrong, dual 27-in QHD setup is excellent for productivity tasks. I might keep one of the 27-in QHD monitors just in case. 12/11 update: suppose to shipped out on Nov 6 but has been moved to Nov 27.  Also placed a pre-order on LG CX 48" OLED , suppose to ship out Nov 11 but has now been moved to between Nov 24 and Nov 30. At this rate, I might end up grabbing the Alienware unit mentioned above. Stock might be readily available on launch day. 17/11 update: I received  LG CX 48" OLED  yesterday so I had to cancel order for the LG 38GN950-B.
