The QUEENS GAMBIT | REVIEW! | An INCREDIBLE Netflix Original!
Hello! I recently got this camera, I also got an elgato key light for lighting got good settings on it, but there is constant flickering in the background and even on my shirt.. What can I do to fix this??
will lighting up my background help? im just using regular led lights to light the rest of my room and it is just flickering so much
@@Y2Keethi, thanks for watching and for the comment. If you look at the menu on the left hand side, at the bottom there is an “anti-flicker” section that allows you to switch from 50hz to 60hz. Try that first. If that doesn’t work, then try adjusting your shutter speed. If that doesn’t work, turn all of your lights off; and then turn them on one at a time to see which one is causing the flicker. Then you can decide on whether or not you want to keep that light :) Let me know how it goes 🖖🏼
In my day we communicated by pigeon !
@@user-sh4tq4bg7f ah the good old days!!
No no no avoid virginity media . An absolutely nightmare company . Tory government allowed companies like these to trade . But companies like virgin media should be banded from trading. Media companies providing internet and media should be more regulated, those that provide poor customer service and constantly but up prices mid contract should be banned.
I'll contact CF to see if Kellys are still their installer before signing up. If installation dates are missed then I have to stay with VM. I can take a weekday off once not twice. Unless they install at weekends, which I doubt. It is a pity CF once installed seems to be very good.
Once installed it’s been incredible, most reliable network I have ever been with. I heard that CF has stopped using Kelly’s, but it would be wise to confirm this. Let me know how you get on and don’t forget the referral link for a £50 Amazon voucher!!
Kelly’s actually lost the community fibre contract like a few weeks after this video lol. they lost the contract in March
Haha I heard about this, I’m not surprised at all. I hope my video had something to do with it, they were truly dreadful.
Clicks is great 🎉 ( no joke )
@@jessykoppes652 good to hear 🖖🏼
I am having a question about Virgin Media, it was about the videos I have recorded from a channel years later, I can't be able to watch them again recently because the channel has been removed, as it said. "No longer available" "We're Sorry, but this recording can't be viewed because Standard Definition Cartoon Network is no longer available from virgin media." I was trying to figure out a way to watch these recordings again or probably they are long gone.
@@Alex_T_Dragon they are likely gone forever, there is no way to retrieve recordings from a Virgin Media box as far as I know.
Virgin media won't let any devices of mine that iv changed the os on to use the wifi if I change the Mac address to use the wifi again they flip out big time which I hate no other isp iv ever had both in the US and UK and France and Canada none have done yhat to me
My service provider is 3 UK for unlimited home 5G broadband and unlimited text calls and data on my mobile phone 6 years in and 3 UK have been fantastic I love the service. In most cases and areas 5G broadband is faster than virgin and more reliable.
but I don't have many of these functions..but I have the same cam I just bought
Run and buy!
Great Video TBG 🎉
Thank you so much!!
The US version has these led lights too. Doesn’t have anything to do with which factory it was made.. But you are not wrong about it being build in China. All European model 3’s come from China at this moment.
Ahh good shout, thank you.
I can’t believe the places these UA-cam reviewers use to “test” acceleration. That run could so easily have ended in tragedy.
Hi Jon, I appreciate the comment. Just some context: the road was a dead end road, and everything on that road was also closed. We also made sure that nobody was present before filming that short segment. The run also looks a lot faster on camera than it actually was - it’s quite dramatic because of the acceleration, but in terms of speed it wasn’t anything crazy. I appreciate your concern and I hope this alleviates some of it. Thank you for watching and for your comment :)
I appreciate it the fact you didn't get offensive when responding to this comment. Your response was civil and appreciative at the same time 👍🏻😎
*** defensive 🙈🙈😂
Ahhh thank you 🖖🏼
Damn that color tho. Nice af
I totally agree it’s a stunning colour, it’s called “Ultra Red” and it’s a £2000 optional extra lol
I've just taken a 18 month contract out with Virgin I'm switching from talk talk which was just a basic 65mbps they wanted to increase my price and virgin was actually cheaper for 264mbps download speed. I'm a tad worried now but it's the only provider which can offer me a decent speed until things get upgraded in my area.
Woah what a car!
It really is!! Thanks for watching 🖖🏼
great video - looks very impressive
Thank youuu! You’ve got to give it a go 🖖🏼
The new model 3 looks awesome. I can’t wait to see how the refreshed Model Y will look like. Awesome video, man. 🔥
Thank you dude!! Model Y refresh would be incredible!!
Thank you all so much for watching my video, I means a lot (seriously). Also note: yes I know there is a Model Y “Performance” already, what I meant to say was I wonder if they will introduce a facelift version like this new Model 3 (Highland). Thank you once again, please do consider subscribing if you haven’t already 🖖🏼🤓
Literally can’t wait to drive this, great video bud!
You 100% need to try it, it’s insanity!!
'With Child' 🤣🤣 Zero desire to drive or any love for EVs are you know, imagine John Wicks Mustang as an EV 🤣🤣 Oh No! Here comes the Baba-Yaga *Scale Electric Electric Hum sound*
Yeah the “with child” made me laugh to myself too 😂
Awesome video 😍, Can’t wait to get one 😜
Thank you!! Me neither lol 🥰
Hello. This review was so well done. Thank you very much, it made me push the buy button as it looks good enough and isn´t as expensive as the pro version. You also got a new subscriber. Cheers!
Ah that’s so nice, thank you so much for your comment. I really do appreciate it. I hope you enjoy the webcam. And thank you for subscribing, I’ve got a lot more Elgato content coming soon!! 🖖🏼
After more than 20 years I have moved from Virgin Media to BT/EE - Virgin's customer service is terrible. My account with Virgin was compromised - I received a telephone call from a 'Virgin Media Engineer' who had all of my details, including passwords - who requested my bank account details and planted a key logger on my computer - I know that other Virgin clients had a similar experience. My account information could only have been 'leaked' by the Virgin employees - I think that someone in one of their overseas call centres passed my account information to criminals
Virgin Media are a rip off and a shit company.
Listening to your video I would say get rid virgin. media fast. Use a 5g router as fail over. Virgin does not treat its customers well they over charge and roll you over to scam you even if you try renew contract.
Downloaded IOS18 and iPadOS18 as soon as I was able to. So far loving it man. No Apple Intelligence though but it’s awesome to see the direction Apple is going. iPadOS was a bit disappointing, I was expecting much more but the calculator app got me hyped. Lol Awesome video bro!
Haha that’s awesome - I avoid Beta OS’s as I don’t want to risk the instability, and I heard Apple Intelligence wasn’t included right now anyways. I can’t wait to try it though lol I agree, iPadOS deserved more of an update! Thank you for your comment man 🥰
Yes mate 👍🏼
Yes yes bud!!
fed up of all this technology 😅 I am just numb to it all and no longer impressed
Shhhh our AI overlords might read this one day 🫢
Amazing video! The announcement sounds exciting, looking forward to Apple AI 🤩! Loving the glasses too 🤓🤌🏼
Thank youuuu 🖖🏼🤓
Great video 🎉 do you have new 👓 very cool
Did not think anyone would notice - yes I got them about an hour before the Apple keynote lol! Thank you 🖖🏼🤓
@@ThisBrownGeek❤
Help me guyss
What’s up?
Is the link for the £50 still working
I just checked it - it is working :) Do let me know if you use it 🖖🏼
I'm on the 1Gbps. Reliability fine - no downtime yet. I'm not using the Linksys router but my old Asus WiFi 5 router. I'll change to a WiFi 6 maybe later but I digress. I need to replace the ethernet port in the wall near my PC so have been using WiFi for a while for gaming. I do get random lag spikes when playing CS2 which I never got on Virgin, again with the same Asus router. Otherwise it's pretty damn fast vs my old 362Mbps setup and much cheaper. There's one other issue. It has some quirks with my alarm system of late. I was getting a Comm Fault on my panel and looking into it, I called CF to get the MAC address cache cleared. For good measure I also cloned the Linksys MAC address - it had previously worked fine without cloning, but it appears the cache clear on their end sorted my comms fault. It has shown up once since I sorted it last week but since then it's been fine again. Keeping an eye on the situation.
I joined CF last month on a 3Gbps package because of your video. Like you, I have had a lot of hurdles with Virgin Media. With CF, It was a mess from the installation to the usage of the technicolor. The wifi speed is excellent (900mbps up/890mbps down), but the issue is on browsing the Internet; loading pages take a while to load. My last Engineer visit was yesterday, and even he couldn't understand why I have a good wifi speed, but everything takes a long time to load(UA-cam, Google Chrome, etc...). He replaced the technicolor and the adtran box and asked me to observe for the next 24 hours. But 24 hours later and nothing has changed. I have just decided to plug the linksys node directly to the adtran and I have turned off the technicolor router. To my surprise, everything is running smoothly. But what's the problem with the technicolor, though? Did I miss something?
Community fibre playing hard ball by not accepting end of term notice for not to renew the contract. Very strange. It papers it is in the business of casting hooks laced with bates. This will most certainly put people off. I blame the government for killing the local consumer protection departments. I guess one can always go to UK courts especially if a person can manage his claim himself.
That really was a good review. You answered some of the questions I had about Raycon. Like & Sub ✅
Ahhh this makes me so happy, thank you so much, I really do appreciate it.
been with them just under a year, very happy with the 3gbps service, and not being limited to CGNAT.
I’ve just had community fibre installed and there is an Adtran on the wall which connects to the linksy router. My gaming desktop is only getting about 100Mbps download on the 1GB package, but plugged into the Adtran I get the 1GB down and up. There is only one port on the Adtran so can’t go Ethernet to PC and Ethernet to the linksy (which gives the 1GB of WiFi but not Ethernet). Any recommendations please? 🙏🏼
I recommend try a wired speed test from the linksys router to a different device and use the OOKLA APP the app not the website, once u run another speed test this will tell if the issue is with the broadband or the device
@@braedynkandasamibvk9142 thanks! I actually bought a TP-Link network switch to plug from the Adtran on the wall and then run my router and Ethernet cable to my desktop into it and seems to have solved the issue of desktop wired speed but makes the wifi a little weaker! Can’t win but it’s better than before 😂
Just made the switch today from sky for 1gbs for £26 a month my installation date is the 10th of June I hope it goes smoothly as it cheaper then sky and much faster as a phone line is not required and I never used it anyways I hope it goes smoothly
Ahhh let us know how you get on!!!
Lol this guy is reviewing a product that he doesn't have....! This brown geek....more like This brown Thick!
Got the 1gb with them, never had a problem. Don't know what their customer service is like as I've never had to contact them
Haha, it doesn’t matter if customer service is poor if you never have to use them 😂 I really am so impressed with Community Fibre, glad to hear you are too!!
Considering you are so techie the sound on this is very boomy and does encourage me to return.
Hi, thanks for the feedback. I haven’t had anyone else mention this, and I have tested the audio on 6 different speakers and headphones. I haven’t found it to be boomy. Could you tell me what you’re listening on so I can check? Thank you :)
I just bought this camera. My original Facecam is nice and bright and sharp, but this one is all dark and gray. Then when I set it up in Camera Hub, I can get it looking better, but when I bring it into OBS, it looks and again. And it's nowhere near as good as my original Facecam. Could there be something wrong with it?
*looks bad again
Too many people in UK now. Virgin used to be good now everyone hogs the line
It wasn’t bad, true. But I don’t think the number of people using it is the issue. The issue (in my opinion) is Virgin not investing in their core network. They have so many failures, and they bodge repairs. I think they need to invest more in their network to bring it to modern day standards.
Did you get extra routers from Community Fibre to expand the network and a mesh network? I did and it is fiddly to set up and doesn't seem to work well.
I have the Technicolour from CF as my router, and then I got 3 Linksys Nodes for my mesh from them. Works flawlessly. What’s your set up and what have you paid for etc? Maybe I can help :)
I got 3 Linksys nodes from Community Fibre and they explained to me that I won’t get the high speeds over the extended mesh. Next to main router plugged in the modem I can get 400mb. Else where I get 90mb (extended mesh in other rooms) I need the 400mb position to be located in a different part of my flat to get to my computer. CF want to charge me £50-£200, depending, to move the modem! I do have a Google WiFi Mesh network (1xmain and 3xExtender) from my previous setup. Which generates different amounts of speed. Currently experimenting with different configurations. I have some ethernet installed as well. If I move the main router to where I need and use the ethernet. The connection to modem drops to 90mb! The main router has to be close to modem.
@@ThisBrownGeek I have the 1 Gbps package 920 Mbps up/down Expected WiFi speed 400-659mbps What they don’t tell you is that you need to be next to router for that speed. That extension mesh speeds drop!
@@AndrewJohnSimpson1982 Hi. Ok a lot to go through here as that does not sound right at all. Firstly, moving the modem is not required, just run a good quality ethernet cable from the modem to the router. You can go up to 100m and you should be fine. Get a good quality CAT6A cable, there is no way it should drop to 90mb, that doesn't make sense. Second - The Linksys Mesh is WiFi6, are you speedtesting it with a device that is compatible with WiFi6? If not, that may be the reason for your slower WiFi speed result. On my Linksys mesh network I get 850Mbps down and up on average. Distance is not an issue, all of my mesh network nodes are wired via ethernet to the main router. Are you able to wire each node to the router or are you just extending the WiFi range?
@@ThisBrownGeek It seems different Speed testing sites give different answers. Anyway....now it is late (midnight) the whole network has speeded up. I will just keep an eye on the speed and see if it changes match over the coming days. Either way. It is cheaper and and much faster than my VIRGIN connection.
