This looks nice. Would it handle Flight Sim 2020 Better than an XBox Series X?

Not a great deal. You've been able to pay less for an Apple Refurb (basically new) and stacking GC/ cashback for a long time now. If you're…

Yep it's ridiculous that some Dell monitors are not Mac compatible. I had the same thing with a 32" model. Managed to get Dell to give me a…

Thanks. Indeed for one of my connected devices I don’t use HDR. Why would this matter/ cause this? I use Desktop HDR on my Mini as it…

Same. Yellow/greenish I just used the tools built into OSX. it took quite a bit of calibration. I also find HDMI looks better than DP

That’s really good. Almost tempted! Done LON-MEL before and their product/ in- flight experience was very good (even on the 777 compared…

Well we bought 2 off FBMP for our 2 and both worked perfectly. We re-sold at the same price, so basically borrowed it for free for 6…

If I choose to collect in store will I need to show student ID to get the GC?

There is a deal coming up any day now at Coles. (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/817969) Yes I believe you can stack $4K. You need to add…

If you’re referring to the fact the Lyngdorf is a multiple of the speaker price, then yeah, you can get away with cheaper but if he wants…

Yes they do benefit from stands for lots of reasons. I have never tried the 806s but when you factor in a decent pair of stands you are not…

Agree with this. For TV/ movie audio I would put Klipsch in with Sonos, Bose, some of the Yamaha stuff. All good and enjoyable but built…

Yes very. It’s pretty well accepted the TDAI 1120 is the leader in its class at this price point. Room Perfect does a superb job with…

I use the 816 as a tv speaker with the Lyngdorf above. It’s a very adaptable amp so definitely helps things. However the forward treble…

Not heard them but I would expect the Focals to be far superior. The prices above are really good.

I have the 816. They are a great speaker. Nice price too. I have paired mine with a Lyngdorf TDAI-1120. (Unfortunately this amp has gone up…

My tactic now is to wait for 7% cash back on AOC and stack 10% GC, 7% cash back, 10% TRS. 27% off AOC pricing isn’t a million miles away…

They will cancel them all I reckon. They made it very clear from the email that it was a misprice and they are selling below cost

That is an insane price - even without a price match - very rare to see the AOC price undercut - I just ordered one with the additional $50…
