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...

I realize the whole window management thing isn't 100% on topic, though it's somewhat applicable in talking about large amounts of screen real-estate I guess. That in relation to how worth it 8k as a multi-monitor replacement would be and with what tradeoffs vs multiple 4k screens for example...

I use a stream deck (+ some displayfusion function hotkeys mapped to it) for my windows management: However, if you ever end up removing the tab bar on firefox like I outlined, you can use this add-on to replace the Min-Max-Restore buttons as one space saving button with a drop-down to all...

You can do the same thing with that floating window addon that kasakka linked and it will retain the ability to see the scrub timeline thumbnails and right click menu of youtube. I set it to ask me if I wanted a pop out window in an additional firefox instance, or maxed within the existing...

I always appreciate suggestions and learning about new stuff. Thanks for the link, they do make it for firefox too so I'll check it out. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/windowed/ At a glance it seems to still have a title bar, where the pop-out method is a full frameless video...

One of the VM stule solutions might work, but for youtube specifically, there are 3rd party youtube apps or browser addons that should allow you to toggle borderless full frame youtube videos within a window's dimensions. . . . Firefox allows things like like twitch and youtube and other...

The samsung one connect boxes, especially the latest versions, are break out boxes of the hdmi ports and circuitry which help to keep the tv slimmer. They can , at least on the samung 55" 1000R 4k ark gen 2, and supposedly on the 900C and the newer 900D, break the screen space up into...

With large desktop/app real estate , 2x4k , 4x 4k , a screen really starts to begin to be able to replace multiple monitors. Where if I had an array of two to three 4k screens across, e.g. PLP or triple landscape, or more screens in an over and under setup, I'd view the central screen...

Twice the real-estate of the G95NC, and up to 4x the real-estate of a 4k screen. No grain. Matte/abraded outer layer is a huge tradeoff on most falds to me, so that is a huge pro. The 900D is supposedly practically glossy from reports (AG lovers complain heh). Good to hear on the FALDimming...

Ouch. The 8k pro art price (see below). It'll come down a little bit but that is a "mastering monitor lite" price point tier even then. (Mastering monitors 15k - 30k+). In 2017, Dell released a 8k monitor for $5000 and that was back in 2017 dollars. ($6,400 in today's usd, ignoring...
