Reply to: What have you bought the one you love this Christmas?

I bought myself a Satmap Active 20 GPS with Platinum Map Bundle

The 1:10k map is basically a street map of the UK, down to the individual house level, and has come in very handy a couple of times already.

Wow if only a map could be added to a smart phone then you would only need 1 device to do exactly this

Is this 1984?

I dont want any gifts and i do not want to gift anything to anybody
I hate this consumer culture. If someone wants something they should buy it themselves.

I think you'll find the OP did exactly that

[woohoo]

More of a Pro Evo man myself...

I'm tempted to move over, fifa is annoying the hell out of me. If you have a winning streak and play someone of less ability it "throttles" your ability to pass and shoot, like walking through jelly.

It's just a shame Pro Evo doesn't have the teams and the players.

I went with this one and it helps when playing Fifa, erm I mean programming.

The comparable Samsung to the LG is this (5,120 x 1,440):

QLED Gaming Monitor | Dual QHD Display

Not sure you can stack the Samsung, but HDR might make it worth it...

Looks cheap. The LG looks expensive (and is).

60hz is fine then if your eyesight is so bad ;-)

[DoctorStrangelove]

Nothing.

I've got all the toys and useless tat I don't want already.

I'm looking for a sled supplier now due to the oncoming hard winter, but the tat shop closed down some years ago.

Bought her a custom made new brigandine!

Some Star Trek and Marvel stuff too and a 'Mouse Rat' T-shirt as she loves that band.

The LG has a shiny stand and you can stack them, so will buy another soon.

And this:

While the Samsung CHG90 has the same size and aspect ratio as these two monitors, its native resolution is just 3,840 by 1,080 pixels. This translates to a relatively low pixel density of 81 pixels per inch (ppi) and a screen that was not particularly sharp in our testing. The 49WL95C-W has a higher pixel density of 106 pixels per inch (ppi)—the same as the Dell UltraSharp 49—and its image quality for text, photos, and video is good.

I use it for programming and trading, so refresh rate and response time is not as important as resolution and image quality.

A set of Small Twist Blue Shorties.

These are apparently some sort of knitting needles.

[DimPrawn]

Out of interest - why that one and not the Samsung (which has a faster refresh rate and HDR) or the Dell or Philips one?

I've also been looking at these.

Best present I ever got the wife was a food mixer, she wanted a car upgrade

After that I got hundreds of BJ’s, naughty sex and booze when I wanted.

How can a food mixer get you all this??

Well she divorced me and I was single again
