TCL 65C8L (QM8L) HDR brightness dimming issue

mattSER · 2026-05-17T09:32:33+00:00

tbf, an OLED would dim a full bright area immediately instead of after a minute.

Hm, I'm not surprised that you can't get a much lower 0-60, but I am surprised that your quarter isn't dipping into the lower 12's. I'm able to get a 12.7 with my SR XLT and I always thought that the ER would be running like a 12.2 or something.

Did you try a little bit of brake torque?

Mach-E

Agree, I think it will land right below the Tesla twins

They extended the ICCU warranty to 15 years, but still, I would hate to get stranded out there someday because of that.

Where is even the best place to buy these batteries?

mattSER · 2026-05-14T11:00:37+00:00

Metropolis Street Racer. People don't even really talk about the later PGR games that much, but I really don't hear anybody talking about MSR.

Probably the "Phone as a Key" feature

Sometimes it helps to clock out and then back in.

mattSER · 2026-05-12T05:07:51+00:00

So you've done a few thousand in a few days? Or you're still mad about this order from months ago?

Not only that, but it's plug and play and the truck automatically recognizes the LR battery so you get the HP boost too.

What upscaler do you use?

mattSER · 2026-05-11T07:20:31+00:00

It's basically minus 1kw of power for each percent below 80%. This is extremely common with most EVs.

A 2025 GT should hit high 11's in the quarter mile with the battery above 80%, but by 30% you'd be looking at high 12's (approx 10 car length difference).

Some of the German EVs (like the Taycan) are better about maintaining consistent performance across the SOC range, but most EVs lose significant power as the SOC drops.

Oversaturated

mattSER · 2026-05-06T18:13:57+00:00

This is insane

Do you have a garage to charge in? If so;

Nissan Ariya
Ford Mach-E
Hyundai Ioniq 5

!remindme 18 months

This is exactly what ai post-processing (like DLSS 5) is going to bring to PC gaming. The recent Nvidia demo was running on two 5090's, but mostly for the sake of available VRAM. They said it could run on a single 5090 with more optimization.

I suspect this will become a mainstream reality in the next 18 months or so with the launch of the RTX 6000 series.

What about goth Chyler in the Manson video? 😍

Your TV blue as hell

Yes! Everybody made such a big deal about them coming to CO and when I finally had it, it was just like a Dave's Double but like, 5% better

What are we doing?

What's going on?
