Oh yes the glossy coating of the CX is another thing I've grown to love haha, coming from mostly matte LCDs. I never cared as much about this as I do now.

Yup. I did not come here crying or regretting anything, just wanted to share my experience. I think most people will be more than fine and the newer models must have stellar longevity, probably beating off many competing LCD models. I cannot even remember having nearly as many hours on a single...

Update! Not really any difference to be honest. Maybe it's a little more blurry but I'm not positive on that. Camera angle is a little different but when zooming I am able to make out the same things. OLD: NEW: BONUS, hp bars on green : Almost all other colours like red still look...

I scheduled it to run at bedtime and it did (saw the white lines and everything before I tucked myself). I'm at the office now but when back home later I will inspect the screen closely, and compare to what it looked like. I have other pictures (other solid colours) I didn't upload so there is...

I'll run it later and let you guys know.

My understanding is that it scans the pixels, and boosts the voltage of those that have aged the most, to level them with the rest of the panel. At some point of course raising the voltage is not possible anymore, so "burn-in" becomes visible - aka pixels much dimmer than the others. Both the...

Yea, I'm waiting for the automatic process that will happen exactly 1000 h from now. I don't see the point of running it manually, that will just add extra wear to the pixels. To my knowledge, the manual pixel refresh is exactly the same thing as what runs automatically every 2000h. And since...

Yea I have very few dead pixels on my end on the other hand. Like 10 or so. While the burn-in from that one game is visible, I think it's important to stress how much I use that part of the screen generally speaking. Like even when I'm my browser (like now), I usually have a small 1080p-ish...

Maybe it's 3k or even bit more, it's hard to estimate since I'm using standalone version and can't track with Steam or anything. 2 years were really intense, but the other two was just a few hours a week (like now). I played a little WoW with nearly identical UI too, but that was just a few...

Well, I consider that a pretty good result personally, depends how you look at it. I'm far from being able to see it when I just "use" the display.

80* nits :D yea the game doesn't like auto HDR even. I just turn HDR on for video content and a few recent games with good support. But it's a drop in the water, hours wise. But I mean in all games I like to keep my UI in the same general area, unless there's no option to customize it. So it's...

Yea Rtings and Tftcentral said 80 and my cheap meter agreed. Edit2: I was a bit off as far as hours go, it's sitting on 15k not 17. My bad, I remembered wrong but thankfully I checked today: Edit: here is a picture of a white screen taken at about normal viewing distance (full rez picture...

Yeah I guess so. It's not totally perfect, I'd like to see improvements in the near black handling (esp with VRR) and the 5% grey banding is fairly noticeable at times. Would be nice to never have text rendering issues as well though Windows could be made to handle that. ASBL is also poorly...

Yeah, it's a lot of time at home. We had covid lockdowns when I bought it, the working from home trend (though I almost never do that now) and I don't sleep a lot, like 6h a day on average. That's not exactly the norm I think. Only 20 mins walk from the workplace, so little time wasted commuting...

It's official: I got burn-in on the CX. 4 years, 15000h, 99% of the time in SDR at 20 brightness (which is 80ish nits, the other 1% was in HDR mode). I always make the screen black when I step away from the PC and I believe it does keep counting the power-on hours in that case, even if the...

Yeah I remember his video. But IMO consumers displays should strive to be able to handle anything created by the professionals. And once you disable ASBL, OLED does display those scenes decently.

I was initially OK with ABSL but then I ran into some dark films/series where the damn thing would trigger and absolutely ruin the whole thing (famously House of Dragon made many people notice that) since you had to pull the remote to reset it, somehow even the brighter scenes didn't bring the...

Okay, he usually knows what he's talking about. I'll investigate some more!

Are you sure Game Bar is needed for any that? I have never read that anywhere until now. I've been trying to get an old dx10 game to run in modern borderless fullscreen without success, but the gamebar is never running on my machine (it's still installed though, just not open). Guess I got to...

I don't think that's crazy, although I have no issue doing fullscreen gaming on it with m&k, since I put it on a floor stand behind the desk. I just do absolutely everything on it, my backup LCD is mostly sitting in storage and I only use it when I need to access the BIOS of my home server...

Yea those are not super optimized games, so I imagine you are combining some software performance issues with wireless performance issues. Those are seated games too though so to me it makes the most sense to use a cable and crank up the bitrate. (absolutely loved Project WIngman in VR even if...

Yeah there is a lot that matters and that we have no idea about here. I also got no clue about that game specifically so I can't say if it's known or anything, but it's a popular title and nvidia has the vast majority of the market so I presume we would hear about it if that was widespread...

Yea I do the same basically. I connected it a couple times for firmware updates and to use the ColorControl app but that's it. But it's been years now with zero connection.

That's an insane difference. CX is already very durable (as far as burn-in goes) but it's wonderful to see further improvement on it. I see the cheaper A1/A2 are faring even better, but they have much lower brightness so that makes sense.

Yeah it's not cool but it's also not noticeable in my case either (aka real world use) and I still get stellar picture quality without burn-in. So I'm hoping it can stay that way for a few more years at least since while there seems to be more and more competition in the OLED space, there is...

2 different memory kits? I'm 99% sure your instability comes from that then, unless running JEDEC clocks but surely you are not doing that :P

Well I come from Intel and that was always automatic so for me it's totally bizarre. i.e. on Intel I may have done a clear CMOS after a bad OC attempt, but if I updated the BIOS it always automatically reset the settings during the process. The first build where I tried overclocking was around...

Did you do a clear CMOS? I have a GIgabyte AMD board and the BIOS is incredibly stupid and has required me to literally do more clear CMOS actions than I've done my whole life. Like it doesn't even reset settings when flashing the BIOS, so no chance of booting after an update if you don't...

Ideally you want to test as many different scenarios as possible. Full load, medium load, low load, idle... and rinse and repeat with AVX on and off. But there is no need for an older version? It's just a toggle in recent versions (see at the bottom): They call it weaker but it stresses the...

The first step is to find a way to reproduce the crash. If you cannot, then you are probably stable or on the very edge, only you can say if that's good enough. Chasing perfect stability is easier said than done. Maybe the crash was not even CPU/RAM related, I have no idea. All I can say is...

Perhaps you were never fully stable and a tiny change made it tip over. 6800mhz is high, I don't know if every single 13900k out there can handle it, I would guess not. At least that's where I would personally start looking: the RAM (since you said stock for the CPU I'm sure it's fine)

128 player maps are for sure CPU intensive, but that's expected! It's nice to see the hardware put to use, and this game is an excellent stress test for overclockers. Both loading screens and actual gameplay (unless you are GPU limited because RTX or something) are intense in different ways.

I believe VD uses by H265 by default, it's higher quality when bitrate constrained (so preferred for wireless), but higher latency than H264 too. So yea it would make sense that it looks better. Also VD has some gamma/color correction options which can be subjectively better. tl;ldr H264 is...

I don't know if the 1080 ti video encoder can handle such high bitrates+resolution+framerate though, have you checked the NVENC usage with gpu-z or even good old task manager? It's very likely overloaded.

Yea I don't know what the exact limit is (not sure if it's the decoder on the Quest or my motherboard or what) but you can input a very high number in the Oculus Debug Tool. 850 for me is exact same latency as 500 or below so seems safe, at 900 latency numbers seem to go up slightly so I stopped...

I'm closing in on 16k hours on the CX (4 years old soon) and no noticeable burn-in, though perhaps when staring up close at solid colours, white and grey might look more dirty than they used to, hard to say, it's not like I have the original to compare with. However I seem to be getting more...

They're too busy enabling the feature for specific popular games that already run perfectly fine without it. But bigger numbers better.

Yea same here. What I did was connect the adapter and the PCI-E cables before even putting the GPU in the case (since we all have modular PSUs these days). This way I could easily check by eye and fingers that the connection was perfect. I never bothered doing that in the past but after all the...

For me the most annoying thing about the CX has been removing the fake "4096x" resolution from the EDID that Windows and some games otherwise use (I've had to re-do it a few times following some updates, like once a year or so). Hopefully not an issue anymore with the more recent models!

Read my message again: it won't happen if you leave things on auto. Lowering the SOC is the cause. Gigabyte's SOC setting simply exceeds AMD's guidance (I'm not saying that should be taken as gospel, I'm just pointing out something does not look right from what we were told, even if it probably...
