OT: Video Games VI

Would not consider the Alienware monitor something I would go for a 4k hard copy lets see how it looks. For me Alienware solely gaming and browser whatever.

Sucks that you are encounrting burn in based on your usage. Honestly don't know what to say since my usage I guess is so different. Not being protective of either the lg oled or the alienware qoled..

The beauty is that there's all kinds of great panels out there these days, so if there's something that bugs you, there's something else that might suit. That Alienware was the best thing out when it came out and was really ahead of the curve. Now, the market is a lot more diffuse and there's plenty of good options.

Liking the Odyssey Neo G8 so far for gaming and browsing and movies. Really like the brightness. I just edited photos for an hour and it's very good for that as well.

It does have an aggressive 1000R curve as opposed to the Alienware AW3423DW's 1800R curve. That might not be for everyone.

I'm giving this one a go this weekend. Reviews say it hits most of the marks you'd want; here's hoping. Installing now.

OK, now I've really got to go to bed, but the Indy game is pretty great so far. Feels like you're in an Indy game. Music is aces. Very nice graphics, though I'm not sure they added the ray tracing to the early access period. I think there's a RT patch due Monday. Water effects, motion blur, grain, HDR, DLSS frame generation. New nVidia drivers for this game are out as of yesterday. Got my monitor's firmware updated. No scanlines in gaming or otherwise that I can see.

EDIT: They went ahead and patched the RT settings into the game on Sunday.

I think I have the 400 true black setting on my Alienware monitor do you use that seeting also?

Also turning on HDR in Windows is sort of a weird like it gets too dark so I generally don't have it turned on.

DA: Veilguard already on sale 20 bucks off on Steam.

Yes, I have it set to 400 true black as well. HDR is set to off in windows too.

Yep we look to have the same settings. I will say I turn down the pixel refresher a lot since it always at the wrong time.
