    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    Yea, different priorities. I really don't care too much about spec if the picture is underwhelming in my viewing environment and I actually buy movies and Series in 4K HDR disc like the last season of Picard and Strange new World since I hate compression (especially the Audio) from most...

    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    You're not an average cellphone user then. not many people stream HDR media on their cellphone or use it as a screen all day and as I said, you can push the cellphone OLED as most cellphone last last than 4 years while TVs are expected to last up to 10. Just put a OLED and a QLED in a room...

    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    Yes but how long does an average cell phone last and how many hours are the screen on at high brightness in a day? Most bright daylight scenes on 4K HDR movies average over 300 nits or higher. Maybe a bit less due to compression on streaming media. I have routinely pointed a light meter towards...

    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    I know that most of you are not engineers so Ill give you a simple explanation of the OLED problem. Let say that one light bulb present 2% of the screen. so the whole screen matrix consist of 50 light bulbs. If we start with one 100 watts light bulb. Logic would say that the brightness level...

    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    Those are not claims. They are facts well known in the industry. It is also one of the reason for the long delay to produce a 4K HDR OLED smaller than 48" while maintaining similar spec for the LG C series TV. Without a breakthrough in the organic portion of the pixel. the only way to increase...

    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    Not everyone is that sensitive to motion blurr and even that is if all you do in game with your monitor. a lot of larger monitor fills many roles now from a desktop TV for streaming media, providing a large screen real estate for work without having to use enlarge fonts, etc. a good QLED like a...

    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    You still don't get it. The organic pixel will degrade with heat. On small area. it can go bright by sinking heat to the surrounding area or improve cooling but once you hit a large area, brightness will drop like crazy. all OLED are pretty much limited to about 200 nits at 100%. This is...

    What do we think of Sony moving away from OLED and back to LED?

    The biggest problem of OLED is the "O". The Organic pixel just cannot take high temp, While it's possible to push the pixel to over 1000 nits on 2% area since the rest of the surrounding area is acting as an heatsink. Once the area grows, the brightness have to be brought down as you can't sink...

    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    I have always physically turn off my display rather using the sleep function so he display not going to sleep when I put the PC to sleep or turning it off is not really a big deal. If the price difference was much more than the current $120. I would say the FV43U is perfectly fine. But the QN90B...

    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    That's true until the QN90B. That's one reason I have a 50"QN90A instead of a 43" but it ultimately was a bit big for the desk space and my seating distance. The wide viewing layer was never a concern for me as a solo use monitor.

    Best 43 inch VA for work use

    I have used most of the 43"-50" except OLED for the same reason. Started with a CG437K to a FV43U and then a Qn90A and now on a QN90B and the fact that it's now on sale on Amazon for $817 is a deal that cannot be beat. The black level is much better and it has 360 backlight zone vs the 8 of the...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    It could definitely be the cable and it doesn't cost much to get another one. I had the same problem with a "Brand Name" high quality HDMI 2.0 cable back in the days that will lost signal once in a while at 4K@60 and I have had problem with "brand Name" HDMI 2.1 cable that will not properly do...

    Does anyone here actually use their TOSLINK port on their MOBO?

    A lot of games support positional audio now and I also use my PC to watch media. Sure I can watch it on my living room home theater system but there're times that I just want to take a short break or watch drama that would not require a big screen. So I have a small home theater system setup for...

    Does anyone here actually use their TOSLINK port on their MOBO?

    True most of the time but CEC have it's own hiccup from time to time. The Samsung remote will turn off the receiver when I turn off the TV but it won't turn on the receiver when I turn on the TV and I still have to grab my receiver remote when I want to change source but it's not a big deal.

    PC Audio Ports Being Phased Out - How to move the HD audio connection to the back?

    I found that staying with the same manufacturer helps as you're less likely to run into a BIOS hiccup and be sure to download all the drivers on a flash drive. I use my PC for gaming so there's really not much you can do except to upgrade every 2-3 years on the CPU and every year or two on the...

    The only disadvantage with pass through is that you can't adjust the volume on the PC and have to grab the remote for the AV receiver.

    this: Due to bandwidth restrictions, optical outputs do not support multichannel LPCM, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X – or high-definition audio such as Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Discrete 7.1 soundtracks are not supported as they are only encoded in higher resolution...

    PC Audio Ports Being Phased Out - How to move the HD audio connection to the back?

    Ever since you can move OS to a different hardware setup with Win 10/11 with minimal hassle. It's so simple to upgrade Mobo/CPU. I upgrade every 2-3 years since I don't want to be more than 2 generation behind on CPU and other upgrade. But in any case, You don't need to spend $600 for a mobo to...

    PC Audio Ports Being Phased Out - How to move the HD audio connection to the back?

    Hate to say it, you're just wasting money. My mobo last an average of 2 years between replacement and I have never have one failed on me. The performance difference between a good name brand like the Asus Tuf Z790 that I just got and yours is questionable at best. Another question? With all your...

    Does anyone here actually use their TOSLINK port on their MOBO?

    Are you using DP because you're running at above 60hz? Otherwise any current AV receiver will be fine for up to 4K@60hz over HDMI. If your GPU and Monitor support HDMI 2.1 (4K@120hz), then you'll need to get an receiver that support HDMI 2.1.

    Used to use that with my logitech Z680 but switch to Coax digital when I upgraded to a Mobo with coax digital out. But I have since gone full AV receiver, 4K blu-ray drive and a 4K monitor for Dolby Atmos media streaming (see Sig). For pure Audio, I've been using a Sony PHA-2A DAC and am now...

    Diablo IV - The Real Official Thread

    I actually like the new resource management, limited potions and slower combat. You lower resource regen and slower combat meant you actually have to (and have time to) think how to manage the fight instead of spamming the generator and than spamming you spender like D3

    43" Odyssey G7 mini LED 144hz

    Cause most user will not notice it and there's not enough returns for the manufacturer to make the necessary changes. I used mine for 2 years without it bothering me. It's there if you really get close to the screen but not really a problem for most for daily use. Not saying that it's not...

    The problem is that the "flaw" is not affecting most user (not that it's not a valid concern). Another problem is that the flaw in panel may not be process related but inherit in the equipment being used so unless and until they replace the manufacturing equipment, it will be in all future...

    Shooting a moving video at a TV screen up close will sometimes fail to focus. Here's a couple pictures which probably do a better job.

    Are you working with colored text, I'm now running my 43" QN90B at 100% font and I work with excel all the time and I don't see any difference between text from the top of the screen to the bottom as seen in this video

    43" Odyssey G7 mini LED 144hz

    Swap for the QN90B and the only diff is you only get 120hz but the colors and text clarity is so much better and you can get a open box or slightly damaged outer box one from Amazon with full warranty for $850.

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Haven't you heard the saying "never buy for the future" as there will always be better tech down the road. Buying a 8K monitor now waiting for other tech to catch up just does not make sense. as for AI upscaling (while pretty impressive) would induce lag which is bad for gaming. I have no...

    Well, I'm in the market now for another 40"-50" screen as my CG437K is acting up (lost the audio circuit but who knows what's next to go) but I still does not see a point of getting a 8K screen. A 43" 4K is the minimum size you need if you're using 100% font size (which I do as actually I needs...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    That's why I said that too bad the U.S does not have the infrastructure to handle the increased bandwidth requirements. Upscaling algorithm good as they are will never be as good as a native image, same with compression. The difference maybe small but it'll be there. At least at the current...
