    iPhone 8 May Sport OLED Display

    It's just as unsuitable as plasma for a PC display unfortunately.

    iPhone 8 May Sport OLED Display

    Take a close up picture of a static completely medium gray screen in a room with low ambient lighting. I have never encountered an OLED screen over a few months old that did not show some signs of it. You probably just don't notice it. Samsung makes good displays but they can't fix the...

    iPhone 8 May Sport OLED Display

    "Modern OLED displays" as in ONE display? I guess the Nexus 6P released 4 weeks ago is using a non-modern 5.7" 2560x1440 display. Anandtech's data does show the S6 is accurate but not as good as an iPhone 6. You want to see burn-in? Go to an AT&T store and look at a Galaxy S6 demo...

    iPhone 8 May Sport OLED Display

    Older generation as in a phone that was released 4 weeks ago? I have used GS5 and GS6. The FACT is that as a whole AMOLEDs can't get as bright as an LCD at similar power consumption levels. The another FACT is that they will suffer burn-in from any static image. Yet another FACT is the blue...

    iPhone 8 May Sport OLED Display

    I own a lumia 930 and a Nexus 6P which are both oled and burn in is a real issue although it hasn't happened yet on the 6P since it's three weeks old. I would prefer a good LCD. OLED has poor color accuracy, uneven whites, and color shift at minor off axis angles. Burn-in is a real issue...

    Robot Juggling 7 Balls At Once

    There is nothing robotic about two stepper motors moving without any control algorithm.

    Upgrade from 30" 2560x1600 IPS?

    No, budget isn't that important, although <$1500 is probably good. The image retention is mild and only shows up on certain colors / scenes, like it only affects some sub-pixels. I don't know if the anti-glare coating has anything to do with image quality really. I don't mind the AG coating and...

    Upgrade from 30" 2560x1600 IPS?

    Hi all, I have an HP LP3065 which has some permanent image retention (been there 2 years and tried all kinds of things), so I am looking for a replacement. Problem is, I don't know what really is a clear upgrade. I'm really just looking for the best image quality overall and would rather...

    Leaked Intel i7-6700K Benchmarks?

    Performance has not increased significantly since Core i7 920 which could easily be clocked at 4.2 GHz on air.

    Please Don't Buy a $13,500 HDMI Cable

    No, mechanical engineers shouldn't design cables and connectors by themselves. The cable and connector geometry affects the characteristic impedance of the cable and simply reshaping a USB 3.0 connector or changing the cable geometry of CAT6 would most likely harm operation. The fact that the...

    Intel Discontinuing Branded Desktop Motherboard Production

    No, LGA is electrically superior to pin contacts. There is much less inductance in the connection that way. AMD didn't change because they were being "cheap and cheerful".

    What's the Shelf Life of a Techie? Just 15 Years

    This is also basically an article about India. I am sure the useful life of an engineer is greater than 15 years, however, after 15 years they probably become less tolerant to working crazy hours.

    Black iPhone 5 Anodized Aluminum Susceptible to Scratching?

    I have never seen a black anodized aluminum product that wasn't susceptible to scratching. Apple's RF engineers must hate the design guys. So much easier to build a well functioning device with a plastic enclosure.

    Lawmakers Seek Review of Broadband Data Caps

    And we have at least one person here who understands exactly what will happen. They will create a cheaper plan with unreasonably low data cap. Then everything else will be equal to or higher than you pay today basically. Have fun with your "fair" tiered data. If anything there should be...
