*waves fist* lol. So my No Pro camera arrived. Sweet dude ! got it out and opened it up. Turned it on "Insert Micro SD". FFS lol you can't do bugger all with it until you put a card in. And what was annoying was last year I bought a 32gb SD card (full size, I thought it was micro ffs). Ah well.
Only cost me a cockle.

I finally am back playing guitar with my amp and not just acoustically. It's so nice to have tubes heating up my room again and not just my computer. 
The new amp is a miniature tube amp/preamp, and I'm really liking it so far. They sell for £780 brand-new, but I picked this up used. It's built by a lovely chap in London. It's atop my favourite amp ever that I've owned since 2011.

While my 32" Quantum Dot 4K monitor is REALLY nice, I want something different, So I just ordered the new Acer Predator Z35P 35" VA G-Sync native 100Hz overclockable to 120Hz Ultrawide Curved display, Will be here in a few days and until I can get a bigger desk my 4K will go into storage, Finally a monitor with good specs, No flashy lights and a stand that doesn't look like megatron's codpiece ^_^
EDIT
Ok maybe a bit of a premature purchase, After reading A LOT of nightmarish customer reviews and visiting various forums explaining that Acer have ZERO quality control, I've cancelled my order and opted for a safer company and monitor, The Dell S2417DG, Only 24" but it's 2560x1440P which makes it nearly on par with a 32" 4K panel when it comes to pixel density, 165Hz and G-Sync, So it'll make a nice addition to my setup.

All of the high refresh rate ultrawides have the same panels minus a few differences from the same manufacturer, I'd rather air on the side of caution than gamble with nigh on £1000.

I would too.
On a more personal side note, I also wouldn't like to support ASUS or ACER if they insisted on reducing the quality because the box said it could toast my sourdough bread while I gamed. I'd rather just get a more bog standard monitor for less, but with more consistency.
Monitors are so frustrating to me. And they've been this way for 3-4 years. We've had some great innovations, but we've also had a lot of backwards technology, as well as terrible marketing and design choices. To me, the monitor is the most important part of your setup. It has to be borderline perfect for your needs or else it's not worth the investment. I had to compromise on my monitor (Freesync isn't universally supported and TN panels aren't known for good viewing angles or colour accuracy), but at least it didn't have glaring quality control issues and wasn't ridiculously expensive.
I don't feel like this is a lot to ask for, but maybe it is.
IPS or VA panel
144Hz
2560 x 1440p
27"
Unobtrusive, subtle, functional stand (no LEDs or ostentatious logos)
No dead pixels (anything more than 4 in the corners is unacceptable)
No back-light bleed
No yellowing
Variable refresh rate that is supported by all graphics manufacturers
Priced at no higher than €600
HDR would be nice, but I don't consider it more of a luxury than a necessity.

Acer doesn't have issues. I've owned and recommended them to dozens of people and never once an issue of back light bleed or dead pixels on any range of monitor

4 dead pixels and light bleed along the left edge on my secondary monitor.. which monitor? My Acer K242HL. It's not an exclusive thing with screens "It happens" a hand full of complaints and bad reviews online is not the be all and end all of a product, say 10,000 units sell and 200 have slight issues (back light bleed or dead pixels) it's simply a drop in the ocean.

I know it happens. I just never have issues with Acer or Sony in regards to screens

I've had zero problems on my last 6 monitors - all Samsung going back to about 2005. My current is an Acer X34 and the only negative has been the overclock only holds at 95 as it's not a native 100hz like the 35P. Quality is fine. Some minor back light but not noticeable in-game. Any edge lit panel will have some variance. For the size, refresh rate and resolution I think you'd find it hard to go past the 35P.
Ultimately, and until AngryGolfishes spec becomes reality then its' always a compromise on some level. You pay a premium, you put up with bleed or you put up with comparatively low refresh or in Dices' case you get more refresh for less realestate.

People over exaggerate light bleed. It's always going to be there on anything but OLED. Monitors have edge lit arrays meaning the light comes from the edge to the middle. You'll always see it. Light bleed is only an issue when during normal use you can see it. During boot up and a pure black, "light bleed" is normal. The pixels don't turn off completely, so there will be light no matter what.
