Ben Wish List

wishlist

Keep in mind that most of what are listed in each category are suggestions, and you can deviate from thos suggestions if you think it fits the category or that I'll otherwise like it. Stuff higher on this list I generally want more.

monitor (3440x1440 100+Hz)

I have this listed because I much prefer one good monitor over many ehh ones which I already have. I'd probably rather get no monitor than one that falls below these specs

  • Monoprice 138035
    • The cheapest one meeting the minimum as of making this list, but seems to be under-reviewed anywhere outside of amazon.
  • MSI Optix
    • Good middleground between the other options and good availablility. amazon reviews are pretty critical of the color accuracy though
  • Lenovo 66A1GCCBUS
    • This one would be really nice but you'll probably have to get it on lenovo's website
  • LG 34GP83A-B
    • This one is the most expensive one I'll list here, and I honestly don't expect to get this at all. It has an IPS display instead of a VA one, and I'll be honest with you: I don't know what that means but it sure sounds important.

amp/dac combo

I find looking for audio equipment to be pretty difficult, so look for something you would trust to buy for yourself

bean bag chair

y'know, the things are pretty comfortable

  • Big Joe
    • I'm trying to imagine who would name their bean bag Joe (yea I know that's the name of the brand)
  • Sofa Sack
    • They have different colors, and the "lemon" color looks like it belongs in Trump tower. Other colors look nice though. Amazon says long shipping time so keep that in mind.
  • the name for this one is literally just a bunch of nouns & adjectives
    • Priciest one but also comes in similar colors to the previous one. and shipping time is supposedly a little better

misc

  • Weights (dumbells)
    • I'd prefer some kind that doesn't make my hands smell like coins afterward but it'd still be fine I guess
  • battery power bank
  • Socks/Shoes
    • I'm size 11.5 wide. If you can't get wide, go for 12-12.5. The brand I've been using which have a wide version is abeo
  • pcie to usb-c card
    • I don't really need one of these but I feel like I might in like 2 years
  • drawing tablet
    • I don't draw often enough to justify getting one of these for myself but I've always been curious. Probably will advertise "8192 levels of pressure" or something.
