    Refresh Rate = Vertical Banding/ Dirty Screen Effect?

    I made a GIF showing the difference. The panel is so much cleaner at 165Hz compared to 240Hz.

    Refresh Rate = Vertical Banding/ Dirty Screen Effect?

    My new Alienware AW3425DW QD-OLED has some gnarly vertical banding and dirty screen effect on darker grays such as 5%, and one spot in particular near the center of the display on the very top that is the most pronounced. I was just curious if a cable swap would change anything, so I switched...

    [H] Stock Alerts, Tips & Tears 2025

    The 5080 was listed for a few minutes. It's been removed now. Dropping thousands of 5080s on a Tuesday afternoon is so on point for Nvidia. What a major F U to those of us on the Verified Priority Access list.

    Worth upgrading from a 3080ti to 5080?

    My $1,600 ASUS 5080 has been returned. It hurts because I wanted a new card for my new 9800X3D build, but in the end it was just too expensive being so close to a 5090FE and so much more than a 5080FE. They can shove it.

    Worth upgrading from a 3080ti to 5080?

    I was able to buy a 5080 TUF from Best Buy for a grand total of $1,614 including tax. I feel sick, and my wallet is no longer speaking to me. I have a week left to decide if I'll keep it. If I could sell my 3080Ti for $500 or so maybe, but even then, spending over 1K for a card with 16GB of...

    Dell Alienware AW3423DWF 34″ QD-OLED 165Hz FreeSync Premium Pro (3440 x 1440)

    I ended up ordering from Dell directly and the first panel had a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. The replacement looked pristine until the first few pixel refreshes, and now it has vertical banding. Not horrible by any means, but enough to be noticeable in darker content such as...

    Pixel Structure Showdown: Mini-LED vs WOLED vs QD-OLED vs Plasma

    My Panasonic UT50 from 2012 still looks amazing and I'd love a updated version. It has the Neo panel so the blacks are excellent and the colors pop much like an OLED. It's also glossy. 😍 I wonder if Panasonic ever experimented with 4K plasma.

    So the 39" version is just LG recycling unsold panels from the current model and adding home theater crap that no one asked for. Meh. The 45" should be impressive but very expensive of course. The current model on display at my Best Buy is stunning but the PPI is definitely noticeable. The...

    Dell Alienware AW3423DWF 34″ QD-OLED 165Hz FreeSync Premium Pro (3440 x 1440)

    I'm on my third replacement from Best Buy after picking up one during the recent price drop to $650. The first had horrible dirty screen effect even after several pixel refreshes. The second had micro scratches caused by the screen protector Dell uses for shipping as well as a very deep scratch...

    FS: 7800X3D New In Box

    I have a new and sealed AMD Ryzen 7800X3D for sale. It was purchased directly from Best Buy online. Asking $320 shipped and insured in the U.S. SOLD
  12. therealjustin

    Resolved.

    I'm going to buy one tomorrow. I have a 7800X3D(actually two of them) but I want the newness so it's gonna be mine!
  13. therealjustin

    9950X and 9950X3D is going to be terrific.

    It's rather peculiar that AMD would delay the launch by only one week, but better to be sure. Obviously the replacement batches going out to retailers have the fix. I wonder what it was?

    4080 Super: New Owners Thread - Share your experience!

    I mean, technically I own one. :D I was able to snag a 4080 Super FE from Best Buy for store pickup this weekend. I'm currently using a 3080Ti that has been excellent, so I'm still unsure if I'll keep the 4080 or not. The FE is one sexy card.

    Will you jump on 40xx Super Video cards or would you rather wait for 50xx series to come out?

    I'm waiting for the 50XX series. Less than one year away now.
