You might get stuck with a dead pixel, but it wont be that noticeable on a panel with that many.

If you don't like it, it's through Amazon so easy returns

I've heard the panels are hit and miss, but if you hit, they are really nice

This one. According to reddit some of them have some bad backlight bleed in the corners, but you could probably replace it through amazon if it does

Best Buy was ridiculous today. I did some more reading into 3060 ti and watched more reviews and it is better than I initially thought.

So I tried my luck at purchasing the FE from Best Buy, and holy shite. It’s a god damn mess. When you click “add to cart” it doesn’t actually add it to the cart.

It puts you in this waiting queue, where you wait until it is ready to “let” you add to cart... if there is stock left...

I played around with that, and I got lucky! I was able to add the card to my cart and started the checkout process. Except... it asked me to specify my store location because they weren’t going to ship the card directly to you. You had to specify a store that you could pick it up from.

So I put in my store zip code, and it comes back and tells me “this product is not available in stores within 250 miles of you”.

It’s like fricking hell. Apparently loads of people had this problem. And apparently it’s due to the BOTS yet again screwing up the initial launch and grabbing all the supply.

It’s a god damn mess.

It has gotten absurdly out of hand. It really needs to be on the sellers at this point to figure out a way to limit this. Limiting to 2 per shipping address or IP address or something.

first time huh?

it's been like this for months. Best Buy actually has the best system in terms of giving you a (still small) chance. The bots can't manipulate the APIs as well with the timed inventory release

the whole can't ship/can't pick up at store are just problems that BB has had for months as well, you basically just keep spamming it until it goes through

#1 way to get these things is with an app and Apple Pay. It's how I've gotten mine.

No one in here has Apple homie.

We'll get you fixed eventually from that trash.

I'm still rocking my $60 moto g7 play I got back in August

Makes me realize how little I use my phone now for anything besides texting, discord and browser use. The camera is absolutely awful, but thankfully I don't take any photos worth a damn anyway
