I am tired of trying to get a Acer XB270HU and hate anyone who has one/is being shipped one. I order; my order ends up on backorder or some sort of drop shipping purgatory. quote:To Drop Shipper - Your order is being submitted to a third-party warehouse for fulfillment and delivery. You will receive a Shipping Confirmation email once it ships. I'm pretty sure they're out and aren't telling me in hopes that I won't cancel.

I'm very tempted to get the 48" OLED LG and use it as a computer monitor. I kind of know it'll be too big but but maybe it won't be!

Rusty posted:Of course it is, it all depends on how far you sit from it. I use a 55" OLED sometimes as my main monitor, mainly when I play games, but also sometimes I just use it to browse the web and it is awesome. I don't use it all the time though, for work and mostly browsing I still use an ultrawide. I wall mounted mine so it isn't sitting on a desk. Yeah but I can only move my desk so far from the wall where I plan to mount it, maybe I'll get a keyboard tray thingy. Anyway I've pretty much convinced myself already I'm just waiting for the new LGs to become available.

Rusty posted:I just measured mine and I am 5 feet from my 55". I think for 48" I could go 3 - 3.5 feet. The furthest edge of the desk can be at most 3' 4"ish from the wall. Well I mean I could move it more but it'd be blocking a closet I don't really use. I came to the conclusion when I measured this awhile a go that it might be bigger than I would ideally want, but not by too much. It makes me a smidge uneasy as I have a 27" now but I want dark blacks and don't want to spend like 3k for a more reasonably sized slower refresh monitor.

There are a lot of people sorta depressed at the state of monitor tech right now (me included) due to how much it has stagnated and how slow and expensive adoption of true HDR has been.

What if companies instead of selling crap decided to not sell crap? I got a Asus Zephyrus G14 I'm going to return because the display is warmer on one side than the other. Oh and I noticed backlight bleed in a corner (it has more but the corner was what I noticed first). I wouldn't be super surprised if the next G14 is worse. Part of the reason I'm so reluctant to replace my desktop monitor is because I just know the odds of having to deal with this kind poo poo is way too high.

K8.0 posted:Amazon returns are not a hassle, and a monitor is something you'll probably have for 5 or 10 years. Start the process now and order another monitor now so you don't have to go without one. You seem to be mixing up "not a hassle" with "difficult to do". It is absolutely a hassle, they know it, that's why they put the burden to return and quality check on the customers as opposed to doing it themselves. The manufacturers should quality control their stuff better, and the retailers should be less tolerant of companies that have high returns. Oh and I suppose the consumers should be more picky and less "eh good enough, the next one might be worse". Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Mar 6, 2022 |

Uh what? If you have something distracting you turn off the monitor so you can focus on the RGB not the other way around.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:I honestly have no idea. W-OLED has issues when getting to high PPI counts which is probably why they can't do 5k2k, but 3840x1600 at 45 inches would be well within the limits of the technology (roughly the same ppi as 48" 4k). The only thing I can think of is that they're worried about the ease of driving it and opted for a lower resolution, but this is a super expensive luxury product. If you're spending $1700 on a ridiculous monitor like this, you surely can get a PC good enough for 3840x1600. This panel is baffling to me. I think it has to do with gamers being easily exploited and being niche. It's a huge niche but it's still only a percentage of people compared to TVs. I think that's why they don't make them glossy really, well maybe this person is in an office and can't control their lighting! We're appealing to office workers annnnnd gamers  ! So yeah we keep getting poo poo like a $1,000 27 inch not even 4k oled while you can buy a 42" 4k Oled for 900 (it was on sale for 800) it's just crap. It's ridiculous to me that there's a tech item I own that's lasted me 7ish years. It's not that I haven't looked before it's that the offerings are crap.I also don't think it's a coincidence that LG is shipping their 27 oled before CES and Asus announcing theirs. I either wait for Asus which may or may not cost more to order, risking it costing too much and the LG being out of stock or I get the LG and the Asus is superior so I either return or just live with it. edit: Oh my order estimate 16th so there's that but I would not be surprised if the Asus announcement will be like "eh whatever you can buy it some time in the future maybe".

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Well, those LG TVs only go to 120Hz while the 27" 1440p monitor is 240hz. I agree that part of this is them exploiting an underserved market, but it's not totally unjustifiable that the high-refresh monitors cost more. LG and Samsung have both stated an intent to build more monitor panels going forward, and I think the price will start dropping once that happens. Hopefully we get BOE or some other rando in China to start producing OLED panels soon too. Yeah yeah I know but I think the whole 240hz is for most gamers completely unnecessary and they'd gain more with any other aspect. Be it price, size, pixel density, whatever. I suspect 240hz is the cheapest way to sell to gamers (well besides rgb and really stupid looking displays) and so that is what they are doing. Oh yeah sure we could improve our poo poo but why? We only need a big number to slap on the thing and the gamers will buy. They aren't wrong gamers are loving morons myself included it's just annoying.

Curious to see if that tech is going to start popping up on other displays. It uses eye-tracking cameras to optimize the effect. My Asus laptop is a piece of poo poo (rog 14 like a year old). I mean pretty much all Windows laptops are bad to differing degrees so there's that. Microsoft > Razer maybe? > Uh Lenovo I guess> Sony, Asus, Samsung. I'm probably going Frameworks next time.

Zero VGS posted:I was just talking about the panels, but you think Microsoft makes the best laptop? The Surfacebooks had the highest failure rate by far of the different brands I issued to employees. Multiple had puffed up batteries which I've never seen on any other reputable brand, and the thing where the keyboard attaches to the screen had permanently communication failures on another. The other Microsoft hardware I've experienced was multiple red ring of death Xbox 360's, and my "Elite Series 2" controller which I bought for $200 and gives me an electric shock if I try to use it while it's charging on USB. Yeah I realize you were just talking about the panels I just saw it as a chance to complain feel free to ignore the rest of this post. I liked my surface, whatever it was called the one with the fancy hinge and the tablet. I also use to really like their mouse, but that was ages ago so it doesn't really count. The Lenovo had a garbage screen (my model came with two different branded screens for whatever tier of screen I selected, I got the worse one but I'm not sure how much that mattered) . Now that I think about it my Microsoft laptop did have an issue, I don't remember what it was but I do remember going to the store in the mall and replacing it. Which was nice though, actually having a store like Apple does have value. The Samsung Ativ Book Pro had an option that would make colors look bad while on battery (companies love this poo poo, trying to get Apple numbers of run time at all costs). The Razer was okay but they used a sticker for the speaker grills and refused to sell me one when it came undone. Oh yeah sure I'm totally going to be without my laptop for you to install a sticker. Oh yeah and I had an Asus EEE which liked to tip over because the weight was like all in the back. I mean what a piece of poo poo that was. Doesn't count though. I wanted the Frameworks, but no discrete graphics, smaller than I'd like (I like 14" for laptops which is an uncommon size), no touchscreen. The size I could live with, but I wanted at least one of the other two. Apple makes decent laptops for the most part. l replaced like two of their old magsafe connector powercords and they've had garbage keyboards in the past. My brother didn't like the touchbar. The problem is they're not Windows and Windows has games. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Jan 7, 2023 |
