View attachment 210038 This was heading for the bin but i saved it, I had one back in the 70s and 80's..

Great radio. Had one when I was shopfitting. A mate put a bank of emergency light nicads on it for me.

One of those 10£ die grinders from screwfix

I'm well chuffed, spotted this, not far from me, assumed it was wrongly priced or already gone.

Just had the lady on the phone, the house is sold, its got to go. It's mine. 3.5m long, all the drawers slide perfectly apparently.

So I'm picking it up Sunday!

Was that a one of sale, or does the seller have more ?

49"
3840*1080
Much better than the old TV I was using

Had a few days with this now.

Bit of fiddling to get it to a comfortable setup.
Had issues with jagged text but seem to have solved that now.

For sim racing it's been excellent. Very immersive and no bezels unlike a triple setup.
Freesync is also very noticable.
Syncs the refresh rate of the monitor to the GPUs framerates. Vsync has been disabled and it's been silky smooth with zero tearing.

Fitted a wall mount today and got it to a more comfortable level. Kids testing.

My only issue is a windows issue

Easy to split my screen into two and 4 but no way I can divide into 3 vertically
Also running a video fullscreen auto centers the video in the middle with black bars to the side.
Virtual desktop manager solved this but I need to test out some other programs. Wasn't particularly intuitive bit did let me split screen into 3 separate displays meaning I can run a full screen video on 1/3 of my monitor..

Not so long ago you'd have sworn that was someone messing about with Photoshop to stretch the monitor

It's taken some getting used to.
Ran a 27" and 2 21" in the past. Very different as you tend to use one at a time.
Definetly like it though.

1.2m end to end.

Does the fact it's curved make that much difference.

Easier on the eyes, perspective?

Was a bit odd initialy.
Whichever third of the screen you view is pretty much square on rather than looking at a screen at a slight angle as with flat if that makes sense.

Much like having 3 monitors angled towards your head.

Spot the difference.

I've been meaning to do this for a 'while' so I could use the same earth lead as my TIG inverter.
I finally cracked last week and ordered the socket after burning my hand yet again on the cheap earth clamp that likes to use the spring for conduction purposes, creating a finger and palm branding device
