Troglodyte, using a "steering wheel" and pressing "buttons". So behind the times.

I get 172 fps avg in New World at 1440p maxed quality on my 6900xt. I get 130 fps same game on my 3070ti Laptop. I don't think a new gpu is needed. I think I'd rather a tiller for my tractor to help me grow food instead since we have...

100%. Microsoft calls this user profiling "Insights". Being able to slice, dice and package behavioral profiles for their own use as well as sell to third parties is worth far more than the few pennies from people clicking on ads (multiplied by...

Come on peeps. Settle down. This was not meant to be a controversial thread. It was supposed to be a celebration that the age of high performance OLED monitors is upon us! This is a good thing!

This thread is so gonna end up locked ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯ I just want to know when I can buy one.

I haven't heard of anyone getting burn in on an OLED made in the past 5 years that didn't leave bright static images on screen for hundreds of thousands of hours.

Driving a Bugatti Chiron or any other low clearance sports car on a dirt road is a user error that will get your car stuck and damaged. You can do it without any worries with just about any other car, but you also can't drive 200 mph on track.

Can we lower the temperature in this room a bit please? The issues with OLED tech are well documented, and while LG has made great advances in the durability of their WOLED tech, burn-in is still a possibility. However, LG wouldn't be releasing a...

Triggered. Yep anyone with OLED burn in is a complete dumbass, end of story, period.

Always has been.

I've seen burn-in and image distortion effects on both CRT and LCD. You can abuse any display and get it to falter. OLED is a bit more finicky with static images, but even LCDs will eventually begin to degrade. It just take a really long time...

I haven't seen a display tech yet, ever, without burn in. CRT, LCD, Plasma. All have had burn in. Some of the worst was on CRT. You should see what a mis-aligned cathode-ray gun looks like mixed with burn in. Rainbow colors with static burnt...

Yeah and I have a bunch of LCDs at work that are burnt in too. Shit happens man. You can mitigate it or you can whine about it, your choice.

Would like to see a review where they specifically talk about it. LG still polarizes the outer glass layer to prevent light reflecting off the color filter. They don't use an inner polarizer like LCD panels do. Perhaps that is why Samsung use...

To add to this, I have an LG CX 55. 13600+ hours (yes, 13 thousand) Mix work, gaming, HDR. Black background. Screen Saver at 5 minutes. Auto off at 1 hour. Accidentally left on for long periods of time. Zero burn-in. I don't think people...

People always bring up burn in on these. Had my 48 CX since they came out. I mostly play Wow and Diablo 3 on it. Haven’t had any issues at all. I do run window in dark mode and have a screen saver and have to shut off after 15. But I have messed...

I've only seen burn-in on old CRT and TFT monitors when they're left on all day at the highest brightness setting with no screen saver. Coincidentally it's the same with OLED. That should definitely qualify as an edge case, not the norm. The...

There are legitimate benefits to voice assistants, but I couldn't be happier if proprietary, data-sucking, "we sell the device at cost because we want to monetize constantly listening to you and transmuting that into advertising" would all die...

You're a Luddite, and you're wrong. Smart switches and smart appliances can revolutionize the world. Imagine a world where you turn a light switch on by talking to it! By talking to it! You tell Gargle to turn the light on. Your device reaches...

Pepperidge Farm remembers when people used to hate the idea of listening devices. I feel some are starting to 'member.
