It was a gift from a player so it's special to me for that reason.

We aren't allowed to travel unless it's essential. Police will stop you and apparently they can charge you over it.

Is it a monitor or just straight up a TV.

It's an LG OLED 55" TV. They recently patched them to support Gsync and it's 120fps.

The main downside is that to do 4K at 120fps you need something capable of outputting HDMI 2.1, which currently no GPU supports.

So I have to use 4K@60 for the desktop and 1440p@120 for games, at least until the next generation of GPUs comes out.

Ps but seriously then Bex maybe time for contest? #stayhome Now we spend a lot of time at home at the computer, and the creative flows from all the cracks

I agree. What would you like to see? Ideally competitions are something that the most number of people can participate in.

I don't see any air cond and just using fan. Is New Zealand weather really cool between 20 to 26 celcius?

Yeah, air conditioning here isn't as widespread as it seems to be in the states. Our summers don't get crazy hot. 26 is a pretty hot day (although it can reach the 30s but it's not usual). I don't know the exact numbers but I'd hazard a guess that the temperature generally sits between 15-23 degrees.

Playing games in non native resolution tends to look shit though. 1080p on a 4k monitor is really blurry vs on a 1080p monitor. I think it's something to do with pixels being interpolated/estimated instead of simply copied. I'm not sure if TVs have this issue though

I was concerned about that. 1440p to 4K is a weird 2:3 scaling ratio so it certainly blurs the image a bit, but it's not so noticable in games at higher resolutions in my experience.

That said, I'm very keen for the next gen GPUs to come out so I don't have to compromise.

Does it burn in, being an oled screen?

It's probably not a big deal in reality but I did take a few steps to stop it.

I have my screensaver set to full black, and to turn on after 60 seconds. I also have a black background on my desktop with no icons and my taskbar set to hide itself.

That way there shouldn't be anything static in exactly the same place for long periods of time.

How do you go with path of exile and gsync in windowed mode? Something about windows 10 DWM and gsync in windowed mode. I can't get it to work properly. and i definitely can't play full screen on a 55"

Maybe you can mention it at work :P

I haven't gotten any games to work with Gsync in windowed mode honestly. I assumed it wasn't PoE specific, but if you are saying that it's possible for a game to fix that, then I can get someone to look into it.

Can you link the specific model by chance? Been using a 40" for years and it's about time for an upgrade :)

I'm using the OLED55B9PVA but they have the higher end C9 as well. I don't think for PC monitor use that it makes any difference but I could be wrong.

Lvl 1 character named "TradeQuickSearch" (maybe implying better search in console, or ingame search in pc), 10 mirror stack in inventory and poker background image. Only missed oportunity was the 1337 by 3 minutes.

Thanks! I don't suppose it's possible to drive 4k@120hz with DVIfrom gpu or anything existing on the market right now?

There are no HDMI 2.1 capable converters either unfortunately. We really do have to wait till the next gen GPUs come out. There is apparently a chip that they are starting to manufacture to do Display Port to HDMI 2.1 but there are no consumer devices you can buy yet.

I feel so sorry for Hrishi, Blake, Mandeep, and Dominic. Those Officeworks chairs are truly horrid. They look okay to start with but within six months the black lining starts to shed everywhere and ends up like Blakes

Ain't that the truth! .. I've had this one for 5 years. It only started to shed the lining last year.. and now all the cushioning is flat.
But now, the way I've tapped this thing together, its actually pretty comfortable.
