    Samsung JS 9000 vs KS 9000

    Sounds like a low bandwidth HDMI cable.

    ASUS announces Swift PG27UQ 4K IPS 144Hz G-Sync HDR monitor

    I agree. This tiny thing isn't even approaching consideration for me. Going for a 40-50" TV this year it looks like.

    Talk me out of a GTX 1080 (Post CES Decision)

    AMD, like always, won't have any kind of real competition to offer, and Volta is right around the corner. ;)

    Dell 8K 32" monitor

    I just wish OLED were more mature. It's got too many issues right now for me to consider, especially given the price. I'm talking about motion blur, g2g, input latency, burn-in (which is a huge problem on my Note 4. Considering actually replacing the screen on it because of this. It would be...

    6 best 4K TVs for HDR/SDR Console and PC gaming Oct 2016

    You should also be waiting for OLED to not have such bad motion blur input lag burn-in brightness fade over time Honestly, the burn-in alone is a huge con for OLED, especially for gaming where you often have static HUD elements and whatnot on-screen for long periods of time. After a year...

    Have to say, this latest round of Video Card wars is hilarious in its self-inflicted stupidity.

    Founder's Edition cards were nVidia cards with fewer features than board partner releases, for more money. They're just reference cards with a boosted price tag because AMD has nothing to compete with. Which brings me to Polaris underperforming. I mean, what more do you need to know? It's...

    Nvidia GTX 1080 & 1070 EVGA Cards Reportedly Catching Fire & Dying Due To VRMs Overheating

    I would never buy EVGA. They're fucking garbage! Remember this? http://i1.wp.com/www.eteknix.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/heatpipe.jpg There is a reason they're cheaper. They are overrated trash.

    Add another 1070 or just buy a 1080?

    March-ish. I have my doubts on a 1080 Ti existing. There's not a whole lot of room from a technical standpoint between the 1080 and Titan XP.

    Add another 1070 or just buy a 1080?

    Not even worth it going from a 1070 to 1080. It's really late in the game to be buying a Pascal card. Just wait for Volta. You'd really feel the difference that way. It's only a few months out.

    Monitors -- Why have LCD's sucked for so long??

    All well and good, but it only comes in gigantic sizes. Not exactly usable as a PC monitor.

    Monitors -- Why have LCD's sucked for so long??

    I, too, feel as though LCD took a few steps backward. CRT has its problems, but you don't ever have to worry about display lag issues while twitch gaming, and it's taken a long time to LCDs to catch up to CRT in terms of resolution and refresh rate as well. I have a 24" Sony FW-900 from a...

    Samsung launched their CFG70 144Hz HDR FreeSync monitors

    lulul WTF would make you think quantum dot had anything to do with HDR? Quantum dot displays were around a long time before anybody heard anything about HDR displays. Quantum dots merely add a layer to the display that improves saturation and gamut. It has nothing to do with changing the...

    2016 Vizio P Series

    Never gonna happen. That would mean they'd have to admit to there having been a problem in the first place. Plus, it's a hardware limitation, I can almost guarantee.

    2016 Vizio P Series

    Sounds to me like bandwidth issues. So, not the card, but the cable. I could be wrong though. But if it's not flickering at lower bandwidth settings (4:2:2, 30hz, etc.) then it's probably just a lower capacity cable.

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    So I got my replacement JS9000, and holy shit it's so much nicer. The discoloration is completely gone. It's like night and day. However, the very first thing I noticed when I turned it on, and it went to that mostly white initial setup screen, there is a single completely dead pixel right in...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    I just tried this, and it's fucking terrible! It was so fucking laggy, I couldn't play TF2 for shit. Sure, it was smoothed out, but that created huge amounts of delay. So goddamned annoying! Use PC mode. You don't suffer the image degradation, and there is no noticeable input lag. It's...

    Thanks guys. It does look like mine is pretty bad. I've applied for an exchange through Crutchfield. Hopefully they cross-ship. :/

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    So, I'm curious how normal this is. It seems pretty severe to me. Do I have a bad unit? Is this common for the JS9000? On a white screen, it's most noticeable. Not really noticeable while gaming usually. But check out the brown areas I have on the left and right. Far more noticeable on...

    Yeah I just tried this on my 48 JS900 in Photoshop, and it doesn't do this.

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    Scratch that. It was apparently a switched outlet. It works now but for some reason only the power button on the remote works with the TV. Dammit. Edit - I paired it and it works now. :P

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    My JS9000 won't turn on. I plugged in the power and the OCB and an HDMI and when I first plug in the power, the white light on the middle comes on and the red light on the right blinks several times. Then nothing happens.

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    Just snagged me a JS9000 from Crutchfield for $650. :D Well, technically it cost more, but that's all I paid. Saved up a year's worth of parking subsidies from my work, spent them on Crutchfield gift cards. :) Stoked.

    2016 Vizio P Series

    Crutchfield now has the UN48JS9000 for $1499. Way better price than has ever been presented. I'm still torn between this and the Vizio P50-C1 though. Neither set is perfect, but which one is the best for me? :/

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    I'm not talking about warranty. If I have an issue like dead pixels in my face or something, some places don't care and make you keep it. Crutchfield doesn't ask questions. BJs sounds vaguely familiar but it's not a West Coast thing, I think. As for the curve, if you're trying to do some...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    Not sure I trust that place, judging by its online reviews. Also, not sure quantum dots or a curve (which may actually prove to be a negative in all situations other than gaming) trump the FALD and HDR support of the Vizio. But then, the only place you can get the Vizio right now is Best Buy...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    Vizio P Series 2016 Review (P50-C1, P55-C1, P65-C1, P75-C1) It has considerably lower input latency than the JS9000, and a lot more input options as well. It's cheaper in part because it contains no OTA tuner. But who the hell wants one of those anyway these days? Especially on a PC display. :p

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    So now I'm thinking of moving away from the JS9000. Apparently, Vizio's new P50-C1 has even BETTER image quality than the JS9000, FALD, HDR, a free Android tablet which serves as the remote, AND it's $1000 CHEAPER than the JS9000. Holy crap. This bad boy is looking like a real winner. Only...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    Nice find. I wonder what kind of return policy they have though. I know Adorama is not one of those fly-by-night gray market East Coast retailers, but Crutchfield has reportedly been taking back displays with dead pixels with no fuss. Plus, I have $700 worth of gift cards saved up (monthly...

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    So both the 55" and 48" JS9000 are now priced at $1,999. WTF, Samsung? Knock that 48 back down to 15-1600 and I'll jump in. Are there really enough people buying these for desktops that you need to jack the price up?

    New Samsung 4k for everyone.

    So now, the 55" UN55JS9000 is $1,999.99 and the 48" UN48JS9000 is $2,299.99. WTF? I'm hoping this means the 48 will hit $1500 soon. 55" is just too big for a monitor, unless you're on the couch or something. :/

    Or, better yet, Super-MHL. That would even handle the impending 8k displays.
