I wired a bunch of silverware forks to the top :angelic:

I hand-me-down my receiver to my pc whenever (very rarely) I upgrade my living room surround receiver. I upgraded to a denon in the living room years ago, so now I have a 7.2 onkyo on my pc. I'm still using a bunch of klipsch 5.1 desktop audio surround speakers from a very old kit back when...

If you are doing graphics work, and 3d work that includes textures and colors - be aware that FALD screens are non-uniform by nature of the backlight tech. So if you need absolute values, it might not be possible with FALD. Wherever there is bright light next to darks, or light/dark...

Interesting but not really apples to apples comparing a 4k TV. For long 34 - 40 deg living room home theater enthusiasts it makes sense to compare them, since at those distances 4k already gets ~ 120PPD. For people looking for 8k desktop-app real-estate for PC use along with 240Hz 4k...

Micro LED would be great. Afaik there are still not consumer price range and sized micro LED screens. They are like 100" plus and over $100 thousand usd. . . . Considering that I don't think those are a viable alternative overall just yet. . . . . FALD is not a microLED. FALD are...

You can't get the same kind of black depth and contrast in uniform fashion on FALD LCDs. In large planes of dark or bright you can get very large values - but wherever there is mixed brights and darks (which is how most detail, depth is shown in textures, clothes, hair, architecture, geography...

While the array with the 48" 4k OLED might seem like a lot, it's still less than 7680 x 2160 of a 8k screen. It's 3x 4k screens, and ~3.5x 4k screens if I added the 49" ultrawide - as compared to 4x 4k worth of pixel real-estate on a 8k screen. Plus, up until now, I mostly only use the...

I'm saying if you dial in a pretty stable array of windows and apps you typically use, you have delineating lines on the screen already, even as just tiles like you are saying. You still have the flexibility for other layouts or dedicating a large portion of a screen to a singular devolopment...

What I was trying to get at was that I am leaning back toward an array of screens (without a middle bezel). The point was that once you dedicate some spaces you typically use for windows management, the window frames are almost like mini bezels anyway. I still wouldn't want a bezel right down...

I checked it out briefly, thanks. I'm still following along the threads. Really interested in whenever RTings gets a review up. There are very few other places that would review something that is sort of niche like this. Everyone so far has been pretty shy of taking on reviewing the...

More options are good. How useful it is to individuals or particular games/settings vs rates could "vary" . ;)

Yes I like to call them frame rate "potholes" being from the northeast usa where seasonal freezing and thawing causes an ongoing problem, breaking up roads into deep potholes in places. I think what he was saying was not that your frame rate would never drop below 200fpsHz, rather that VRR...

There was a port cover panel shown in the video, being removed as part of the process, but not a big deal.

Might depend how much of a pita it is to you to move the screen from where you want it and remove the housing. But yeah infrequent I guess.

You could probably get a usb switch to swap a usb thumbdrive between the tv and your pc, running a usb cable to the back of the monitor (or tv) as if it was the drive. Then you could wipe it and dump the newer firmware on it from the pc, then hit the usb switch over from your desktop so you can...

I posted some comparison screenshots using this guy's (pete matheson's youtube channel) review of the g95nc much earlier in this thread. Like this one (dotted line added by me) I guess I missed this update from a few months ago, idk if anyone linked it in the thread or not. His personal...

This github convo thread from Mark R of blurbusters (from about a year ago) regarding text subsampling might be of interest if anyone hasn't seen it. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/25595 Though there is no "fix" for rgb-based text sub-sampling to get it to work properly on a...

This github convo thread from Mark R of blurbusters (from about a year ago) regarding text subsampling might be of interest if anyone hasn't seen it. I'll post this in the main monitor thread too. https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/25595 Though there is no "fix" for rgb-based...

$10,000+tax ~ $10,875 to $15,000 is pretty extreme buy-in for tech that changes every few years. Besides, I already have a 77" C1 4k in living room. 8k is more about desktop/app real-estate replacing multiple screens and bezels. . . . + being a worthy substiture for a singular 240hz 4k...

Yeah they ask a huge early adopter fee for their stuff (samsung). They drop a good chunk even after like 4 months, and then toward the end of the year usually even more. Appreciate all the details you gave. I'll keep following the 900D stuff. It might be a very long wait but I'll have to see...

Idk how samsung does it , I can switch picture modes on my LG gaming OLED tvs no problem. I mean, you might have to make sure your graphics driver/gpu panels corresponded rgb/ 420 wise though I guess. Idk if running 420 on the screen and 444 on the pc would look worse than both on 4:2:0 to...

I read this about the 55" 4k 1000R curve ark (gen 2 anyway), if the same thing on the 900D, then it might not be optimal for gaming in PbB/multi-input vs just using a whole desktop of app windows + a windowed game. There are stream deck or displayfusion, and a few other methods you can use...

Just in case you didn't already know, most gaming TVs, once set to PC mode , are in RGB mode. RGB is 444 chroma which is the most detailed and full mapping of color for details in presented images, objects, and especially text. When it's not in RGB mode, text will look kind of tattered as...

Yeah i have no idea there. Maybe AMD is better in that regard. They did full bitrate sooner than nvidia at one point I think too. Maybe you could lower the bitrate to 8bit and cap the max hz to 100Hz 8k somehow timings wise just to test . I'm not on expert on it. Appreciate your takes...

Probably can't hurt to try, but . . . . I don't think nvidia will do over 8k 60hz on it's 3000 - 4000 series. Idk about amd. Nvidia shares the ports and apparently shuts one down even to do 8k 60hz I think. From what I read they didn't design it for any higher off of a single port...

Well, a few of us in here (I won't speak for the user "improvise" too much though) , were interested in the 900D in the longer run as a massive singular 8k worth of desktop/app real-estate for pc use, mounted separately from a desk - yet without losing out on the gaming side very much...

A question I have is, can you run 4k 240hz VRR on that upscaled to 8k by the tv . . using a game that would easily hit ~ 240fps ish ranges, and how does that feel playing it? . . . . any obvious infringement on gameplay input lag wise, just your take on it not hardware tested or anything...

It should at least be getting 4k 144Hz like the 900C does, but that might be disallowed by default so that it can do whatever it can to 4k for "240Hz". I doubt it would have the lanes for 8k 120hz on it's hdmi port and how they alloted lanes between ports , just like a nvidia 3000 - 4000...

Incidentally, in regard to window management stuff on large arrays and 8k screens, etc we were discussing earlier. I found out that the "Maximize Video" addon actually does have a youtube slider option, it's just not on by default for some reason. You can also make it pop up the current tab...

Great to here someone actually putting a pc on one of those. If i end up with one, I'm going to be very late to the game on that price tag wise though lol. Still it would be great to know if I should even keep it in my sights in regard to 4k gaming vs other options, plus some of the other...

Awesome :D

I hope that works out like that for you, would be cool. I've heard that the break-out box versions of samsung (e.g. 8k) gaming tvs and their 55" 4k ark screen can't use game mode in PbP. If that is true than their PbP stuff wouldn't be as useful for gaming I guess (even though the PbP tiles...

. . . . . . . .

Right but heat/cooling expands and contracts things too. My old 70" vizio popped from sunlight on the black back of the housing heating it up and down to cooling regularly. The compressed curved housing in those screens probably isn't helping though like you said. The guy I was talking...

I'm guessing most sports isn't in HDR, though some uk stuff might be in relative HLG HDR perhaps. Maybe the olympics will be HDR. HDR is where the ABL really kicks in usually, but the white ice in hockey can be pretty bright even in brighter SDR settings. I think ABL doesn't turn off until...

He missed hockey. That is a good test with the high contrast and small fast puck, and the white ice can make oleds go dim so would show a big tradeoff. He also at one point compared the s95c in contrast and color boost mode "since it looks pleasing in brighter room conditions" - which is sort...

Perhaps ultimately. The actual housings are under stress though and heat and cooling can cause them to expand and contract which can make housings groan and pop. Since one of his super-ultrawide G95NC screens eventually started to malfuction, the internals were likely overheating though...

I used to use metal-hallide lights on a saltwater aquarium. Their ballasts on the floor or a stand were like big ghostbusters traps. 250w each plus heater sticks, etc and a pond pump. Those were really big electric bill years. I got out of that hobby eventually though. Modern GPUs and...

I just got away from using taskbars, especially with my stream deck. Bars are ugly and a waste no matter what size+rez screen. They are like having a bumper sticker on the screen. They were made more for a single limited desktop/app real-estate screen in order to swap apps like pulling up...

If you mean the system tray by the system clock and by the notifications button... yeah that is real thorn in my side because I don't want to ever have to invoke the taskbar if I can help it. I looked around in hope that some app could clone the system tray but the only thing that does is...
