Seems like it would be technically feasible. Or even just still allowing 120Hz in the 480Hz mode to get equal clarity, but probably rather dim. I hope they still offer BFI in at least some form. They are not allowing HDR to be engaged during BFI...

Might be right. I'm just wondering if a screen saver that's mostly black like mystify, plus turning if off completely for longer times not in use, might mix things up in a useful way. Pixel Refresher just ran for the 4K hours mark. Looks the...

I do wonder if a non-blank screen saver such as "Mystify" would be better than one that's a black screen. As it would mix up content versus my Windows desktop for example...

Thank you for trying Pixel Refresher. I intend to start driving this one harder as I want to start using RTX HDR for all games. I guess we enjoy these spectacular displays for as long as they last. And hopefully the newer ones get higher refresh...

I'd go for it. I'm thinking it's what the manual option is for. That said, we don't know how much runway the display actually has left as you indicate. It might not work. And of course, you should only do what you're comfortable doing.

So if Pixel Refresher is the same process and of the same fixed duration whether triggered by the hours count or manually are you then asking that process to do twice as much work at 2000 hours since the last Pixel Refresher run versus 1000 hours...

@thedisplayguy responded. Q: "Some people are saying that dimming cannot be defeated on the C3 nor the C4 with the service menu. Or that it doesn't stick going right back to dimming when you cycle the power on these screens. Can you please...

I think there's a button to run it on demand. I'd press it. I'd be unable to resist. Curiosity. :)

Everyone is ignoring that Kalston hasn't rerun Pixel Refresher yet? Worked for LTT if I recall...

Part of why the advanced BFI on the CX/C1 is so great.

So The Display Guy in his latest video says he disabled dimming on the C4. And that that was necessary to do. He doesn't go into details on that procedure though...

Also the polarizer/coating on the C series still seems to be the best on OLED. Quite spectacular actually. I just saw a review on the G4 and apparently even it has the magenta black thing. (Though less so than Samsung's offerings.) I never would...

Epic setup there.

The fantastic FW900 does not disappoint.

---- Coming straight from CRT I don't even think about this stuff, but you're right, most, normal, people's expectations are different now. :)

However, the LCD panel itself is the weakness here. That you can position flame throwers behind it doesn't entirely solve the problem. It's not solvable. At least emissive, be it OLED now or increasingly MicroLED, has potential.

I think emissive will always be far superior to something that requires a huge work around, which FALD is, to shine. That said, there are some excellent displays utilizing that technology as I understand it. However, the garbage the display...

Your experience is the most recent I've heard of here.

I'd check out the BFI High at 120Hz if you haven't. (I certainly do notice it more dramatically dimmer at 60 Hz. Though I am using this for Cyberpunk with the help of some game settings and RTX HDR...)

Yeah, I wouldn't have the comparison be against LCD, but against the LG CX/C1, with their 300Hz or more equivalent blur reduction thanks to their rolling scan hardware approach. This unit still falls well short of that in this regard. That said...
