OT: Sens Lounge: "Pleeease won't you be.....my neighboµr"

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

A bit of gaming but mainly to play poker, study poker stuff with the simulator. Watch media on it, and drop memes on HFboards.

Looking to jump from 1440p to 4k but reading about burn in on the Oled has me wondering what my best option is.


I sit in front of a screen sometimes 14+ hours a day so I'm not buying a cheap 60hz monitor but appreciate the advice.

I've used Rtings and scouring a combination of other professional reviewers for all my display purchases over the years. It's not the be all end all, but it's at least mostly objective measurements and not all these ass paid youtube reviewers you see in most cases. I'm more of a TV/Projector guy though, so not much help with monitors.

Lots of people buy the small TV's instead too. Something like the smallest LG OLED I think is only like 40".

Ya, I have been checking out rtings. 40" is too big for me. I don't even want 32" but was reading 4K performs better with a 32" minimum. 27" is kind of my sweet spot, but I wouldn't have a problem jumping to 32" if it is the best way to get the best performance. Money is no obstacle. i just don't know anything about these things or the current technology, so I don't want to pay a premium for something that ends up perfoming poorly for my day to day.

Monitor hack, if you don't need one for anything special go to the thrift stores. I got an older samsung 24' for 14$. Went to an estate sale and got another one newer LG, 27' for 30$. The one I actually bought for 120$ a 5 years ago is sitting on the ground.

Depending on needs, just use a small tv.

I've got 2 32" TVs side by side as my monitors for my laptop. Whenever I want to watch shows or do work, it's much bigger than the laptop screen....gaming works too, though can be different based on the specs.

Anyone planning on heading to watch any of the WJC games later this week, at either locations?

I've never had as little interest in the WJC as I have this year.

Hey Ottawa people -- does anyone know where I'd be able to find a "dome screw" for a Bauer hockey helmet locally? Bauer's Canadian site only has a full repair kit available with a bunch of additional parts.

I'm trying to avoid paying like $20 in shipping for one screw, but I'm not sure Canadian Tire, for example, sells individual ones. Maybe Valiquette's?

One of the Hockey Life stores perhaps?

Any Bauer supplied hockey store should have spares and repair for free.

Even an arena pro shop.

Just get one of those man. If money is no problem, it's worth getting the very best one available. I mostly work on a Cintiq tablet myself but I've been thinking about upgrading one of my two reference monitors to a larger screen that I could also watch media on.

Ya i am still trying to figure it out. I play poker a lot and for long hours at a time so worrying about burn in on an Oled is a bit of an issue for me.

Yep, tried Valiquette’s and indeed they gave me the parts for free. Thanks!
