Great video thank you for all the tips! I just picked mine up today since best buy had a sale on them. I would strongly advise anyone looking to purchase one to double check the serial number prior to purchasing and make sure it starts with R9 or a higher number. Best Buy tried to give me an older model R5 which still had possible SD card port overheating issues. But since I did my research I asked if they had a newer unit in stock with a R9 serial number which they did. Always do your research when buying new tech gadgets!

You actually can turn off Dolby ONLY for headphones. It's done in the windows sound output settings. When you plug in a headphone, windows sound output settings will show 'headphones' and in there, there are two fields you can set to disabled which will only affect the headphone output (leaving speaker effects (dolby) intact) : Audio Enhancements & Spatial Audio. If you disable those, you'll be good to go whenever you plug in headphones.

Another quick tip for you guys. By default, the Display resolution scaling is set to 150%, it makes your Windows fonts and elements, as well as application, a bit larger so it's usable on a small screen, but if you find things to still be too small, try changing your resolution scale to 175%. It's in your display settings. I found the 175% to be much more pleasant to use, for me.

One thing. As a music nut, I will always say that audio is completely personal, no one will hear the same way you do. While Dolby is amazing from 5.1 ch audio presets, always tweak EQ to your own preference and play around with the EQ until you find your own balance. Also no one speaker is the same so you might find your Headsets audio is deeper than your other Headset or portable speaker.

Yeah. I saw that review too. Asus does a good job for better or worse on updating their products. I've been using ROG laptops for 3 years at this point, and they do a good job with support. I say for better or worse, because sometimes they push out updates that cases new bugs or breaks things...but they usually patch it as well. Also, most of the support you'll need comes from AMD and Windows, and there's never a shortage of updates on those.

I dont have the greatest eyesight so I am getting the Steam OLED and I already have been tinkering with this one for a couple of days now and so far I have had to install WIN 10 and reinstall all the other software. Most of these games on WIN 11 just will not achieve a descent frame rate, no matter what you do (except in the Steam App, join the Beta) that for me doubled and at times tripled my frame rate to 40-70 depending on the scene (settings are at medium and a couple at high. Beta, Turbo, fps Limiter 60, AMD RSR -ON, preset fans to even arch. Windows 11 on this is horrible and RDR2 will not launch and Cyberpunk will not achieve anything beyond the teens fps. WIN 10 and I am getting 40-70 and finally enjoying. There are some downsides still, battery life is less than an 1 hour when you set it on Turbo but anything less why waste your time. And I wear Bose headphones so the speaker issue is mostly no big deal. This thing needs BlueTooth bad.
