I added a USB gigabit ethernet dongle to my TV and it's great now. It's really frustrating that I needed to do that, but at least my TV isn't messing with my wifi any more.

No one should need more than 640k of ram! But yes WiFi.

Approximately nobody uses Ethernet at home anymore, they’re there to check a box so grognards won’t pitch a fit, manufacturers don’t really care if they work well because everyone uses wifi.

Should I worry about how much 4:3 content I watch/play on my C3? It’s not purely 4:3 but I feel like I probably watch more than the average user.

DoubleT2172 posted:Watch what makes you happy you goon Yeah, I’m probably just being paranoid. I’ve been heavily using my iPhone for 2 and a half years without babysitting it at all but the OLED on it seems fine. I don’t notice any burn in even at the icons and clock. Edit: the C3 manual straight up saying to avoid letterboxed and 4:3 content kinda worries me still. SeANMcBAY fucked around with this message at 17:22 on May 5, 2024 |

I mean, if you're watching it to the exclusivity of all else, then yeah, sure. I don't think watching an old show or playing a retro console for a couple hours a day is going to be noticeable unless you do it for years straight or something

Doing some searching I’ve only found one guy with this problem from 4:3 and it’s from a 4/5 year old B6. I can’t find anyone with this issue from wider than 16:9 content. I feel better now.  I do baby this tv a little more than my old budget tv but I’ve always been a little ocd about sleeping and turning things off even if I’m stepping out of the room for 10 min.

It took a crazy amount of hours of letterboxed content on rting's long term test of the 6 series to even have a hint of differential aging on full screen slides. For the most part, it's never going to be an issue.

It was this one. https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/permanent-image-retention-burn-in-lcd-oled They stopped testing at week 122. Letterboxed content was shown for 36% of the time the TV was running (20 hours a day). So, by week 122, letterboxed bars would have been up for nearly 6,148 hours while the TV was on.. If you look REALLY closely, you can see some uneven aging on the white slides for the top and the bottom, but I have my doubts it would even be visible in normal content. Granted, the letters all burned it, but that is due to specific aging of those colors beyond what the TV can compensate for (and that has gotten MUCH better on the newer models). Black bars though, the pixels that are active are going to be varied so much that the overall aging of the active area compared to the non-active area isn't going to amount for much. Now, you WILL see noticeable image retention for about 10 minutes after long viewing of letterboxed or window boxed content, but it goes away.

Okay, seems reasonable. I got this tv for pretty much nothing so if it burns in within 2 or 3 years then whatever and I’ll go back to a cheap rear end Roku LED. I’ll enjoy it for now without worry.

I’m considering using the Trinitron one on my Analogue Pocket docked but maybe not since I don’t like how much darker and smaller it makes the image.

Do any places offer tv insurance, including for burn in, even if you didn't buy the tv from them? I know Best Buy has the best coverage but I didn't buy from them and they don't offer it for purchases elsewhere.

My parents have a 65” 2022 Samsung The Frame they got around September of 2022 that now has 14,073 panel on hours and it has developed a yellow blob in the center of the panel that runs from the top of the screen all the way to to bottom. I assume this is from the backlight wearing out due to my mother leaving the goddamn thing on literally 24/7. Is there some kind of panel refresh that can be done, or is this TV replacement territory. If it’s replacement territory is there a better/more reliable brand they should go with, or something better designed for such intense usage? I personally use OLED screens, but I feel like my mother’s tv habits will soundly defeat any mitigations the TV companies have built-in, so that probably needs to be avoided.

tehinternet posted:Holy poo poo that’s 586 days of panel time for a tv bought in 2022 Yeah, they got it in late September 2022, and I think the TV has had less than 20 cumulative days of panel off time total. Part of the reason for this is the eco features have been disabled on the TV, so it doesn’t automatically turn off after X-hours of being on the same channel without any input, and the reason for that is because of how slow and poorly laid out Samsung’s TV OS is. Anyway, loath as I am to suggest oled to them, LG offering a 5 year panel warranty on the G3 makes me think it might be a decent option, since even when the screen develops burn in from the insane usage pattern, the panel can be warranty replaced instead of them having to buy yet another TV.

But…. OLEDs have to be turned off regularly for panel maintenance… that’ll burn so drat quick. I’m sure there’s been torture tests where they don’t let em cycle you can refer to.

Well, my Samsung Plasma TV from 10 years ago finally died on me. How difficult will it be to find something nowadays that has component connections for my old gaming consoles? Would like to avoid jumping through too many hoops to get my N64 running on it.

At this point it might be slim pickings. You could always get HDMI adapters on Amazon. I have one for my Wii. It's not great - the video signal has some noise. But better than nothing.
