No matter what signal it sends, Firestick will downsample it to 1080p and your monitor upscales the 1080p signal to 1440p. This wouldn’t be the case if Firestick supported 1440p, but it does not. It wouldn’t make any sense for Firestick to add 1440p support coz movies/tv shows are only made in 1080p and 4k.

North Posted July 26, 2022 Report Share Posted July 26, 2022 Hey. Looking to buy a Macbook Air for my dad, using my student discount. I noticed that airpods are free with a purchase on Apple's website - same deal as last year when I bought one for myself. Will any physical stores price match this deal, or is this the best option? Buying M1 only, more than enough firepower. I'm hoping to get one quickly, because buying directly from Apple usually takes 2 weeks to arrive. @Bird Bird Birdany insight?

Offline shops don't give as much student discount as Apple online store. Are you also getting 6k cashback via HDFC cards ? If yes, that'll be great buy !

Some 1440 monitors do accept 4K signal and downsample it to 1440p. You can check the list of monitors that are able to do this here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But free airpods is a really solid deal tbh, don't think any stores will offer that. I'll call Logix RD and Croma once and see, otherwise proceed on Apple's website. Wish delivery times were faster, it says the earliest is 9th August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using my Citi for some other purchases, but if someone isn't, this will the cheapest option. 14.7k or so I think. When did it drop to 18k (-3.250 = 14.7?)? I placed the order for these on Monday as well, price was showing 19.9 - 3250 for citi card so total at 16.7k. Also weirdly it's still showing "Not dispatched", I wonder why it's taking so long. I hope they don't cancel the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My order shows it will be shipped between 30th-1st. But if I try to buy a new pair from same seller (Apporio) it says delivery by today 5-9pm. WT THE HELL, if they have stock why aren't they fulfilling my order. Are we getting a "special sale wala" stock unit? ? Had a chat with Amazon CC: they are useless as always, asked them to get me a callback from a specialist team who were also useless. Just told me to wait and if there is any issue in the product they will replace it. Edited July 29, 2022 by ox- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
