I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow.
I was the same as you with my old (still current) monitor but then, I bought the DELL and it was well, very notable: DELL IPS Glow (IPS Bleed?). To the point it was not a black screen anymore. It never really bothered me until, I had the DELL for a short time.
Smear and ghosting are bad on VA in my experience. I had one around when Miles Morales first came out and it was so bad I thought my tv was broken, and Samsung agreed and sent a guy to replace the panel.
That’s what I have been reading here and there, that VA are good for visuals (movies, tv shows and such) but bad for gaming. Though it seems that some people have a decent experience with VA panels when gaming but I don’t want to risk it (yet). Unfortunate that the new panel did the same thing.
bought an OLED.
How has the OLED monitor been for you when gaming (and either general usage or office work)? Response time, text clarity, motion and actual black screen? Since like another person said that there’s not really one-fit and always have to have a compronis (IPS with glow and OLED with possible burn-in), I’m tempted to purchase* an OLED monitor for around €600 and then just save up money for when the burn-in happens. I have been trying to find a decent monitor for quite a few months, so I have become a bit impatient and just want a good monitor to game mostly (say 80% gaming and the 20% is either browsing, movies, tv shows and office work).
Yeah, so from them (Monitor Unboxed) and Rtings I had gotten to the point to purchase the DELL G2724D but unfortunately that ended in bad luck.
How’s gaming on the monitor? I kept reading about how VA isn’t good for gaming due to black smearing and motion blur issue.
Yeah, the IPS glow is a major issue. When I bought the 24G2 4 years ago, it was on a whim and probably had luck. Now it’s tough to find a good IPS monitor.
If I could download a car and use it in real life, I certainly would.
Recently finished university and got my first job in basic accounting. All I do is well, watch videos on phone, messages people and a bit of accounting here and there. Boring, relaxing and that’s about it. Going to stick with it for a year and then prolly find new work.
The more I read about Nintendo, the more genuine dislike I get for them. The only thing I read, hear and see are negative bullshit for some petty reason they’ve.
I hate how such a shit company holds so many good nostalgic games. Truly hoping for a quick hack on the Switch 2 and a PC emulation (and I hope truly, hope that Palworld wins the whole fiasco).
Can’t read the article due to being at work but the title makes me smile. His actions actually have consequences. However, I’m curious whether it actually ‘hits’ his wealth.
I wonder how people will show off all of the books they haven’t read, what with analogs going out of stye and all.
I don’t know whether this is sarcasm or not, can’t figure it out. But if isn’t, well, I suppose they won’t.
Reading is usually for oneself and not to show off, so I assume, people who purchase such a thing wouldn’t care about showing off.
I like reading normal books but, I currently prefer devices (I.E screens) because it’s easier to carry around, multiple books possible and less preying eyes “what are you reading”.
The moment this becomes an obligation for each person, no matter what, I’ll just quit Discord. I’m tired of stuff like this.
If people want to do bad stuff, they will find a way no matter what anyway.
Yeah, no. It is not the only place to play Mario. There’s emulation and Piracy. I’m quite certain skilled people will try to hack the Switch 2 and sooner or later there will be a Switch 2 emulation (although might take a while). €80-90 euro for one single game is nuts.
The only reason I would purchase a Switch 2 is when it is capable of being hacked.
You can change your context with a new console, but I think it may be cheaper to do something like buying a controller and playing games while standing up, or on your couch/armchair
I will try this! Will try the standing. Though, eventually I’ll sit due just tired of standing up. The gaming PC is in my bedroom so there’s not really much room for couch and such.
I have a controller that, I often use but same issue happens of being exhausted of the feeling ‘being behind a desk and screen’.
You can also achieve this by identifying the things that you have to do in your job that mirror videogame genres you enjoy and picking a game that shares few of those qualities.
The thing is, I don’t think anything mirrors my work. I currently have a very basic accounting job and it’s not even that demanding. My work week exists of a mix with doing accounting, listen to podcasts, watching videos on phone and such.
It’s one of the most relax work I have ever had to be honest. Yet it’s the first job where this feeling of exhaustion started.
I also find stress relief games. Mindless 3rd person action games for me. Mad Max was great because I could drive around picking fights or crashing stuff. The Batman Arkham games and the Shadow of Mordor games are other great examples for me.
Yeah, so for me it would be most Switch games through emulation (such as Captain Toad, 3D World and Odyssey) and P3R/P5R.
I have not found any relaxing “cozy” games that work for me. Nothing has really grabbed my attention enough to stick with.
I checked ‘cozy’ games but like you, they don’t seem to be my type of games.
I’m truly debating about the Deck but €670 is a lot to invest when being uncertain. Also what if it wouldn’t fix the exhaustion issue of screens and desks.
How long have you been working a day job? It might just be a period of adjustment.
For about 2 months and a few days now. So I think, I already adjusted to the changes.
School life vs work life is a lot different, so it takes time to adjust for most people.
Definitely! It was tough the first few weeks, lol.
Also, if you work from home, that may also be a factor. If so, try not working where you game if possible. That was a huge thing for me.
At the moment I don’t yet, I purposely asked if I could work full time at office. I still live with parents and the distractions are a bit much. Might try working from home sooner or later though.
Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it.
I really like iPhones (more so iOS), especially with sideloading now.
But if leasing becomes norm and we can’t purchase it or get it through subscription of service (2 years with Vodafone and then the phone is yours kind of thing). I’ll just purchase an older Samsung. Then I’ll take the loss and struggle for a few months with the interface and all that.
I don’t see the problem with having both- they fill different niches.
Money. Steam Deck OLED costs in my country €700, Switch OLED €350-360 and the Switch 2 will be around the €560-600.
steam deck, I’d be really sad to not have any Mario kart, Zelda, etc…
I’m so close on purchasing a Steam Deck OLED to game in weekends or in bed after full 5 days behind a desk job. But I’m always worried that these games won’t work well with emulations. I’ve been researching like crazy but keep reading different things.
And spending €700 with uncertainty is not my favorite thing to do.
Unfortunately I don’t have knowledge about Android tweaks but I’m almost certain there is one.
Best is not to use the platform but if you do, then the best thing to do is; use a tweaked version.
One that removes the ads and gives more settings to tweak.
For iOS you can check EthMods Telegram channel and find the tweaked version and then install them through SideStore sideloading.
I’m wondering how Tumblr is a safe space while it’s still filled with porn-bots. I tried the platform several times and no matter what I do, I always get smacked with some random NSFW content.
How’s the IPS glow/ backlight bleed in dark scenes and games?
I’m tempted to either get an W-OLED (ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG) or re-purchase the Asus XG27ACS in a different store with the hope it will work.
