Haha ! Looks like my TV guy doesn't know squat. No 2024 Sony 8k offering.

Correct me if I'm wrong, the 14A referes to 14 Angstrom.

For gaming probably ? Q3 only needs 1024/768 ---- I'm doing video, specifically ski videos. I currently shoot 4k60 gopro and 5k60 DSLR. I'm more than likely getting the QN900D next month, but as everyone said, there's no content. That means I need to upgrade my entire process flow to 8K...

My TV guy says yes the successor to the 2023 Sony Z9K is coming, but not out yet. 8K miniLED , but 75" is the smallest. Expect 10k$

I have read those, looks very promising. I'm pulling the trigger on the 8k change. This is gonna be expensive. I still run 1070's on my 4k video edit system, they run flawlessly. I guess I'm buying new video cards....haha !!!! My whole environment is spec'd for 4k60, everything has to change...

I like the scalable stuff for sure. There are still connectors on my mobo I have never made functional. (supermicro X11DPI-nt, Xeon gold 6144's) The supermicro X13 series Motherboards are sooooo sweet, I look forward to the new Xeon 6 ones. (y)

Yes !! Exactly this ! I run my main computer like a thin client. The only things in the work area are monitors+peripherals, totally silent. I have the rig itself in my attached garage (North facing). It's always cold, for the last 15 years I have actually heated this garage by running folding...

Yep......65".... Can't wait !! --- Haha....like AMD/Intel did to cpu TDP. ----------------- So. another question : I have a 30 foot run from TV to video editing rig. Think 8k/60 will go through 30 feet of HDMI 2.1 cable ?

Wow that's ugly !! Definitely a bad reaction. As I mentioned earlier, the solvent doesn't matter to me, I can use distilled water. It was the "gentle rubbing" I was worried about. heh ----- At this point it looks like physical contact, albeit gentle is ok, that's really all I care about. I got...

Woop ! Good news everyone ! Took some digging but; straight from the horses mouth : https://innovate.samsungdisplay.com/blog/how-to-clean-a-qd-oled-or-an-oled-screen/ TLDR; Cleaning QD-OLED is no problem, neither is Windex ( although they say 70% ethanol works better) (y)

------------ Haha !! I almost don't believe that. --- I've owned a hundred different screens, TV's and monitors both, from dually 15" CRT's onwards. Without exception, every single one of them has been Windex'd multiple times.....Even the $$ Eizo medical monitor I run in my arcade box. Don't...

Yea that's not what I wanna hear. :dead: The Bravia Z9K ? 8k has a glass front to my knowledge. washing=no problem.

I am quite happy I noticed this thread !! There is a plethora of very good information here. ------ I am ~3 months from fully pulling the trigger on 8k, but for photo/video, rather than gaming. Starting with the 65" QN900D. Followed by one of these ; https://www.canon.ca/en/product?name=EOS_R5_C...

Thanks ! Thing about white cases, they are dirty all the time. You get about 18 hours of lookin sweet, then dirty again... -- Nice case Niner ! That needs daily dusting I bet ! 👍 edit : There's no difference between how much a white anything and a quality black anything show dust. My truck...

Oh fuck yes !! ---- It's expensive, dirty work tho. 🤣

Never heard that one before. ----- It's not the standoffs. The machine ran 100% until I put on the waterblocks about a year later.... This is a heatsink rigidity issue. I know Der8auer had the exact same issues when he was doing socket P(3647) Xeon OC runs. Now that I'm back on OEM...

Yep, that was my first thought too. Been done, all pins are flawless so are all the lands. - This machine runs flawlessly except for the missing ram. Every CPU test runs perfectly, , except for the missing ram. 4k video encode it crushes, Except for the missing ram. I've swapped the modules...

Ok, self Necro here. ------ I do know this was a common problem with the socket 3647 chips when watercooled. The CPU pins didn't all connect to the ram slots without a super rigid cooler. Machine still runs great (typing on it now) -- This machine is now back on air, oem coolers. The ram slots...

While this is a novel implementation of the technology, diamond substrates are old news. The repeaters that amplify fiberoptic signals under the ocean use diamond substrate thermoelectric cooled lasers. --- Not only can CVD diamond be "sprayed" onto any refractory surface, the diamond can be "...

Interesting. 7200+ pins of danger !! All good, back on air. :D Pic of one of the blocks after fittings removed : ------ Nice filter...... Algae and rust. ------------- Conclusions : 1> The idea that 50% or greater propylene glycol is automatically algae proof is not true. Resistant...

I have torn it all apart. ------ I have loads more pics, will upload. It looks like algae or rust or both, but no evidence of galvanic corrosion. The cpu's are out, blocks off, just cleaning out one of the CPU blocks....... :D I've had a couple people tell me most AIO watercoolers are good...

Hahahahaaha !! I have the update I wanted ! ------------- I have not shut off this machine since the last post. (just shy of 4 years !!) It's been running 2 video cards folding 24/7. I've processed several hundred terabytes of 4k video. I have never looked at, or changed the glycol. I...

I will mirror the comments about not taking it apart. You might try something like r-studio . Failing that, pay. :D

Yea typical. Yah couldn't have done that back 4 months before threadripper came out when I invested in my Xeon Gold 8 core chips for the same price. Still.....seems like an upgrade. 5/10

No comeback really, there's a [H]ardcore arcade box crowd. ----- My rig's back up.Just redoing the joystick configs. I was at https://www.ultimarc.com/ yesterday......they make 'flight' joysticks in the '360' line now....looks like I'm getting a pair for 'BattleZone'......hahah :ROFLMAO:

Shucked and mounted.....VESA for the win.... I have a new piece of 'smoked acrylic' on order to redo the overlay bezel. I'm just cleaning and loading stuff back in. Games this weekend !! :D

Yea baby ! I've never been happier to see a 4:3 monitor in my life. I'm just shucking it from the stand.....it actually looks thicker than the last 21' lcd I had in there...no biggie. (y)

Nice ! ---- My monitor arrives today apparently ! :D

I've actually skied with a tripod... The last time I 'tomahawked' while wearing a DSLR it was my buddy's 5DmkII with a 100-400mm 'l' lens. No damage (got sooo lucky !!!) -------- Back to topic. Sweet camera, keep evolving it !! I have Blackmagic bookmarked. :D

When you are skiing down a 45 degree hill in 2 feet of powder,with it all on your back, glass sure as heck does count. ....anyways.

Because my DSLR is probably worth the same, and about the same bulk when skiing.

Absolutely. I ski with my DSLR stuff all the time....

The best thing I see here other than the awesome camera, is the price of it. 12 grand is firmly in the 'prosumer' area..... Want more super-ultra-high def content ?!!....make the cameras cheap. RED and Arri are typically out of the price range of avid hobbyists. If I thought I could ski with...

Those are sweet !! I've often thought about 'portable' arcade units...I have not seen those iCade units before...very cool !! ---------- Here's a couple pics of the rig......it's a p4.....6 USB ports . ---------- -------- I had forgotten all about this rig. It's actually a fairly rare and...

I *think* it's an Intel e6600.....socket 775 something anyways.10 year old video card. It doesn't need anything to run really.....I picked the rig based on the USB ports. I'll blow the dust bunnies out and take a pic. (y)

Hmmmm.....I looked everywhere here, did not find pics of my mame rig.(found a couple red 'x's) heh I can remedy this !! Looks sad with no monitor : ------------ So at least I've already modified it for a 100mm VESA mount. The dust is extra . ------------ I've got a couple feelers out...

I can't wait to see how this goes. I shoot and process 4k60 allatime.It heats everything up. I feel we are a year out on 8k....the new high-bitrate SD cards are close....h266 is also close. I'll be a first adopter of 8k GoPro....letalone my Canons.... :ROFLMAO:

I made a full cabinet MAME arcade rig 8-9 years ago. There's a pic or two here somewhere. I will post more. In that time I've gone through 3x 21" CRT's and 4x 21" LCD's. Every LCD monitor I bought was basically DOA from 'capacitor plague'. I just opened up the last monitor that died, yep...

Haha ! Any of you guys ever actually tried those special (acid) fluxes ? I have, I've been soldering for 40 years and never once succeeded in soldering aluminum properly...that's what TIG welders are for. :D ------ I've seen the copper plated aluminum, but more often I believe they are nickel...

yep, try soldering...if it works, you are good. Aluminum won't solder. (y)
