Don't think so. Black screen = pixels completely off and I see no better way to preserve it's lifespan than that.

You can mitigate most VRR flickering by maintaining as consistent of frametimes as possible. I've always had VRR flickering when it came to loading screens but not much in actual gameplay so I haven't too bothered by it. I honestly don't think this is something that will ever be fixed even with...

Well that sucks...

RTings will now test for VRR flicker and will give monitors a score based on how they perform: https://www.rtings.com/monitor/learn/research/vrr-flicker Interestingly, monitors that share the same panel can have a difference in how bad the VRR flickering is. The Corsair and Asus share the same...

Just a heads up, MSI is aware of Peak1000 behavior, not sure they will actually do something about it but hey at least they are "aware" of it so that's a start. https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED_Gaming/comments/1cbdvvr/hdr1000_poor_pq_tracking_excessive_dimming_on_the/

Even then the dead pixels aren't actually noticeable from proper viewing distance. I can easily tell I have over 100 of them just by eyeballing around close to my screen, yet it doesn't bother me one bit since from my viewing distance since I can't actually see the individual pixels, plus they...

You will be waiting a year for them to fix the firmware anyway so by the time they do then it will be on sale 😂

LG had limited stock, but that will change soon now that they have begun mass production: https://www.lgdisplay.com/eng/company/media-center/latest-news;jsessionid=4C543459C31167C0230CFA5A132D94AF?contentId=5295 Honestly it would be a good idea to wait on the Asus version just to see if maybe...

Not every card is going to cost over $1000 though. The 5080 might get the price raised back up to $1200 to match the 4080's initial launch price but everything else under it is going to be less than $1,000. If Nvidia starts resting on their laurels then that only allows AMD an opportunity to...

No extra promo codes to enter? Just add 2 extra items and 20% automatically applies? I'm not trying to get one myself, just want to pass this info on to one of my buddies who still can't get a MSI MPG model.

I see no harm in doing it early. Either it actually helps a little bit or at worst it just does nothing.

Fair enough. But in my opinion Nvidia has to deliver on next gen, otherwise they can't justify such high prices. Can't speak for others but I would not be willing to pay $1600+ to upgrade from my 4090 if all I got was a measely 25% uplift. I happily upgraded from a 3080 Ti to a 4090 because the...

You can't go 15,000 hours without running a pixel refresher lol. And he mentions it's working just fine... "The compensation cycles appear to be working fine, including the big one every 2000h (curious to see if the next one clears things up)." Sure maybe the next big compensation cycle at...

Bingo. So what makes you think the same thing cannot happen for Blackwell?

You do know that the 980 Ti and 780 Ti are the same node process (28nm) yet the 980 Ti delivered pretty sizeable gains right?
