I did a lot of work providing testing services to subpixel layouts, so I'm very glad to see the new subpixel structure.

Another underrated part of curved 45" is when your eyes are getting older -- and your eyeglasses prescription. The curve means your eyes are about the same distance for the whole radius. This is less strain on the range of your reading glasses. I can still go flat though when it matters --...

If you can maintain that framerate -- then you're going to get a bigger upgradefeel. I do generally recommend most mainstream people upgrade framerates & refreshrates by at least 2x, for them to feel it was worth it. Geometrics are the win in the refresh rate curve. Most games will end up...

The first ones will be on the retail market much less than half that timespan. You saw the TFTCentral Roadmap. Keep in mind the 4K 240Hz OLEDs have a fallback 1080p 480Hz mode, so you'll have your 480Hz OLED inside the window of year 2024. The dedicated 1440p 480Hz panel isn't roadmapped till...

For the PPI folx here, a big boom 31.5" sized 4K 240Hz OLEDs are coming in the next 12 months. The first will be exhibited at CES 2024. If you want to maximize your upgradefeel in ppi, that's the one to watch for! For me, my motion sensitivity means prefer a "slightly bit lower ppi" simply to...

Get the 480 Hz OLED when it arrives. WOLED's are also fine for office use nowadays; no need to worry about burn in as much as one used to. Even some LCDs degraded faster according to RTINGs. I've been Visual Studioing on a prototype 240Hz OLED for 1.5 years now. It's also better on my eyes...

I remember those lovely Kuro's. The upcoming 480 Hz OLEDs will finally produce quite some interesting advanced-rolling-BFI possibilities. I have an offline prototype of a TestUFO CRT realtime electron beam simulator (using per-scanline-brightness lookup tables, rather than realtime shader...

Plasma displays had their day, but with a theoretical 600Hz OLED, I could software-simulate those subfields. Though HDR subpixels may not pulse as brightly as plasma phosphor, the feel would be similar. It would be theoretically possible to duplicate the subfield in an emulation. However, I...

Software BFI does work on LCD on the Retrotink 4K. It just works so much better on an HDR-capable OLED, though. The nit-boosting trick for BFI works much better on OLED. But software BFI on a good quantum dot backlit LCD actually looks decent-ish (except for LCD greys), a little bit more...

Ooops, I quoted the wrong LG model! Yes, I'm talking about the other LG OLED models limited to no less than 8.3ms persistence during 60Hz BFI. For this specific one, it's likely roughly similar (due to limitations of external BFI injection can not be less than refreshtime), but the bonus card...

My Retrotink 4K prototype here, as a box-in-middle BFI, can now even out-BFI even the LG firmware BFI. I get a brighter BFI picture on my OLED than the firmware LG BFI because of the SDR->HDR converter + nitbooster trick! And I can make my 240Hz OLED 4x clearer in motion for 60fps material...

Wrong. As well-intentioned as that assumption is, based on yesterdays press release hype, it is best not to assume on tech you have not seen. 😉 OLED looks better than the SED prototype that had worse artifacts than LCD. Digtally-addressing these things often required compromises such as...

Sadly, no. There are some Sony's with HDMI input (e.g. Sony KD-30XS955), none of them better than the 900 series AFAIK as they are lower dot pitch. There's also the widescreen Sony PVM/BVM, the broadcast monitors, though they were generally designed to handle TV brodcasts rather than computer...

Yes -- there is a large factor of personal preference involved too. The large-ratio frame rate increases (made possible by DLSS3+) is an alternative motion-blur-reduction substitute to flickery BFI/strobe/ULMB/DyAc -- at least for casual gaming. If you use an OLED display, it's becoming...

Depends on your goal persistence. It's probably going to be a fantastic sweet spot for most users (e.g. average retro users) For moderate and slower scrolling at low resolutions like Super Mario, 2ms persistence is perfectly fine. But for ultrafast scrolling ala Sonic Hedgehog, you'll want a...

Sounds about right -- 1000 Hz OLED is about ~2027. You can do a real-time 60-100Hz CRT electron beam simulator with that brute refresh rate, utilizing HDR nit surge headroom too. Complete temporal beam simulation in 1/1000sec timeslices. Rolling scan, phosphor fade, low persistence, etc. All...

4K progressive-scan on a CRT! Nice to see, even if it's not resolvable. I knew it was possible to do 2160i in the bandwidth of 1080p if you jumped enough hoops -- but 2160p I haven't seen anybody do that at full 3840 wide. You must be using 200-300% DPI zoom at the moment! Try testing VRR on...

Vincent's goal was pretty much to educate that real-life dynamic range vastly exceeds a typical display. Once you interpret this as a bait-headline, and simply treat it as an educational video about displays vs real life. Also, some people live in a bright condo (Toronto-style) where you have...

A few years ago, an anecdote. There is an incredible jitter problem when you plug in a high-Hz keyboard and high-Hz mouse into the same USB root hub. Currently, I do not study specific motherboards, but I can corroborate the "USB Roulette" example where you randomly try different USB ports...

Both of them may be correct, it's easy to miss some nuances nowadays given how complex displays have become in HDR era: - ABL on/off setting; - HDR on/off setting; - VRR on/off setting (it can affects nits ever, ever so slightly on some panels); - Window size (1%, 5%, 10%, etc) of the nit...

Have you tried MacType for Windows from www.mactype.net? Don't forget to do the Chrome tweak, since it tries to insist on using its own built-in font rendering. [...] Check out the LCD images on RTINGs burnin/aging tests.... MONTH 00 versus MONTH 08 For example, the Insigna LCD TV. And...

On modern HDMI/DP -- there is generally almost never color-channel loss (and when it happens, it is usually not due to a loose-cable scenario) -- because there's micro-packetization involved and data-integrity checks (e.g. hashing / checksumming / CRCs) and other stuff thrown in. You usually...

VGA? Most users have not used that for over ten years. If I had known that, I would have suggested it! Oh yes, loose red wire connection -- bad VGA adaptor, bad VGA cable, bad VGA port, etc -- including bad solder joints too! So if the blue comes back, tell him to try a replacement cable...

Remember the refresh rate benefits curve is geometric. That's why NVIDIA is likely going to go to bigger ratios (eventually 8x-10x ratios) for future verisons of reprojection-assisted DLSS. So more brute power will be put to the temporal dimension. 75% of a GPU could do the 100fps path...

A failing power supply is indeed the cause of a lot of monitor problems. (e.g. monitor going blank or rebooting when Brightness is near 100%, a defective strobe-backlight voltage-booster, or executing high-power features such as a HDR-boost or a G-SYNC module, etc). Try canned air to dust...

That is abnormal. I'd exchange the unit for another unit at Best Buy.

Yes! That is true too. LED backlit monitors can look very blue to a first-time user. It can also happen if you've been in a room with warm lights (incandescent), or a room with warm lighting, and then suddenly go back to a 9300K color temperature. It suddenly looks super blue, much bluer...

PA248QV manual: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/LCD Monitors/PA248QV/PA248QV_English.pdf Was blue tint gradual or sudden? - If gradual, then MIGHT be heating related. - If sudden, then MIGHT be firmware-issue or setting-issue related. Did he try any of the "ProArt Presets"? - Try sRGB...

A friend's iPhone has the home screen bottom row burned into it. For example, the green iMessage icon shows as a purple color (the less burned subpixel colors) when displaying a solid white background (e.g. Apple Notes or bright webpage). They are direct RGB-OLED screens, capable of ~1000 nits...

Not surprised. I saw the images and I was not 100% convinced the faint blob was true burn in yet (wanted more months/intensity to be sure). Considering my own (paid!) personal longevity abuse of prototype 240Hz OLEDs, dogfooding my office with OLED for productivity. Relevant...

About having difficulty spending money on upgrades anymore, I can relate. Moore's Law was really fast in the lifetime of any Gen-X'er like me, now it's time to optimize. Let's not forget 4K was $10,000 in year 2001 -- the IBM T221. Now it's a $299 Walmart special. With all the...

There are non-AI approaches involved too -- more user choice is involved. I've presume you read my new lagless-and-artifactless frame generation article? (I'll let someone else link it). Frame generation that reduces latency, too! No double image artifacts, no pararallax artifacts, and I...

FYI -- if you expect to live 40 more years, I hate to open a rabbit hole for ya, but there's better technology coming than VRR in the next ten years that could mainstream within twenty or thirty years, that even console makers (then) will adopt. Technologies that will also be able to de-stutter...

Let's throw in more counterpoints, just to balance things out. I also have some heavily worn LCDs that has gone splotchy due to uneven wear and tear on backlight / edgelight LCDs. Even elements of LCDs wear and tear, even if typically not as fast as OLEDs. Also, without burnin, I have a...

60Hz! Ironically, I have some expertise in vision ergonomics, where sometimes lowering refresh rate is sometimes a solution. I told someone to try 24Hz in Windows on their OLED, and it helped reduce motion sickness. There's something about intermediate frame rates that causes nausea in some...

Or accidental hallucinations. Learning what tasks it practically never hallucinates on, and what tasks has a hallucination-error on. One early pass in prompt engineering accidentally generated some "sample data" (to educate me as an aside) when I asked it too casually about how to do Task X vs...

Yes, easiest if PDF is text based, where the data can be pulled and reprocessed. For image based, try to get it to use Python OCR libraries to convert image based text in PDF into CSV and proces that data. Pretty neat if it can do that. Failing that (not installed in interpreter) it probably...

Edited my above post with images. Learning how to prompt engineer correctly took me about 30-40 minutes, but now I can do it in about 15 or less. It will screw things up if you try to ask it to do too many tasks at a time. It took roughly 5 Python self-debug attempts before it worked, though...

ChatGPT Plus now has a new python interpretor mode - File attachment upload support (e.g. CSV, XLS, TXT, XML, etc) - Self-executing & self-debugging (it interprets the Python error messages and modifies the Python code -- to varying success levels) - Can generate resulting PNG files (or copy...

We'll see. First thing first, I want to figure out how to bring a team of people to create kind of 4K 1000fps 1000Hz UE5 demo at some future GDC or similar convention (2024 or 2025). I've even solved the 4K 1000Hz display problem (lab demo that can be used at a convention). It's just waiting...
