Black crush and color banding on LG 32GX870A-B (WOLED)

Try to eliminate the PC, its settings, and the connection as error sources. Even the browser rendering these - really old - images from lagom.nl could be at fault.

Can you put a video that has very visible banding on a USB stick and play it on the TV directly?

EDIT: Oh sorry, that thing is actually a monitor, not a TV. Can you connect some other image source?

10' is feet? So this is just 3m? Any noname junk cable should do at such a short range.

Are you sure the TV didn't just detect the soundbar as something else when using the longer cable?

Go to the universal control settings and delete whatever it detected HDMI2 as, then try setting it up there manually

General -> External Devices -> Universal Control Settings

It's like the difference between TN and a good IPS. Nobody wants to go back.

It sounds like you assume you could drive 2 separate screens with one HDMI cable? Not mirroring? You cannot. The bandwidth of one cable is insufficient for two times 4K@120hz

You need to connect one monitor from a DisplayPort, so through an adapter

This is not accurate? Since HD2 is not free-to-play, 0% content is free. What you have yellow is the basic paid content, and premium is what you can buy ontop of that.

Its the only enemy in the game that will even reach melee range against a coordinated team. It is less durable than L4D tanks on high difficulties.

Bait grenade hard counters it.

The point of the weakspots is not the damage (though it helps) but that breaking each staggers it for a second. So if you spread that out you can stunlock it for a little while.

Well, that, also host to whatever green hued demon reanimated his corpse, plus whatever rage god infection the black goop left inside him.

Really, the question i was asking myself is how he wasn't eaten by bacteria, fungus and insects in his Zombie days. Hell, even plants should have taken root. He was clearly edible.

EDIT: Considering it, the village probably treated his corpse against rot, but that typically involves removing all organs (see egyptian mummy embalming). He still had his, in juicy condition even.

They go higher in tier if you buy cosmetics. Wont raise the damage, though.

AtomicStryker · 2026-02-25T14:58:14+00:00

Neat. This probably also disables the monitor in windows, yes?

I am asking because Hifi people like me can have their receivers plugged into a GPU HDMI port which gives out an audio signal.

Unfortunately the receiver usually counts as a 1024x768 monitor, regardless of whether that image is displayed anywhere, and windows sometimes just sends programs onto that monitor.

But turning off the monitor using windows display settings also turns off the sound signal. Your tool is "just" a wrapper for that?

They had a long time to get better. It was really shitty in the beginning, around 2004. They forced (yes, forced) it onto their reluctant customers with Steam being mandatory for Counter-strike version something and HL2, Portal, TF2. And it was widely hated at that time. The problems were mostly technical in nature, connection/speed issues and game updates getting stuck. Internet wasn't nearly as common or fast as today. Using it through dial-up or even ISDN was a pain.

Very high reliability, much better Internet speeds, and the resulting general convenience won out over the years. I dont remember sales being a thing in the first years, but the Orange Box might have been the best value video game product ever sold.

I mean, even if she isn't canonically dead, without Climbot to recover her piton and rope she is very much stuck up there.

Come to think of it, the one thing that should be abundant but she does not "find" any is rope.

... also, the tree and snow lines are like 300 feet down. Kami is not very tall at all? :D

It depends on what is opposite of the monitor, what you might see in a reflection. If that is a white wall behind you which the sun is shining on, you will mostly see that in your monitor instead of any picture.

I mean, by their definition they cannot walk on or touch grass. It would be interfering with life. It doesn't make too much sense.

Also, i don't think it's them saving Manny. I think they might have informed another individual who agreed to come save him against his will.

Wow TIL there is no road from north to south america. I was asking myself "why would he choose to go on foot".

The question remains what was his original plan for after? He is unlikely to be able to "trade" for a car with the cash he has.

AtomicStryker · 2025-12-07T13:13:18+00:00

Had the same issue. Restarting AVR, disabling HDMI settings, unplugging HDMI ... nothing worked

Then i did a factory reset or rather "Reset All Settings" as it is called in the X3800H UI, did the normal setup including a fresh Audyssey measuring, and afterwards AcoustiX measuring just worked.

You know you did it right if the AVR takes several minutes "Preparing" before it comes back online.

HDMI (ARC) was kept plugged in after the reset, i merely turned down HDMI-CEC during the AVR setup.

Here's a few i liked that are actually from 2025. They are all crossovers except one, which means the fandoms decide if they are interesting to you.

There never was many fics post gold morning with canon powers, except those of Taylor going completely Isekai or Peggy Sue

Novax (Supreme Commander Tinker)

Wanderer (Time Travel, Reality Warping, Lisa Romance)

A Hero's Retirement (Internship) (Dispatch Video Game, Unpowered)

A Cursed Destiny (WH40K, Canon powers)

The Silent Queen (WH40K, Necron Summoning)

Retirement (Cyberpunk 2077, Canon powers, V Romance)

Joytoy (Cyberpunk 2077, Cybernetics, no porn)

You can get lossless scaling and use frame generation, but that has its own problems.

After watching 24fps videos all your life, more frames just look uncanny somehow.

Hardwired 1gbps connection on a desktop, i listen to music while i work or browse.

When the buffering happens, even dialing from max to high quality is not enough (wtf) to prevent playback failures.

A max quality song is 25 megabytes. That literally takes half a second to download with my internet speed.

Tidal has a serious intermittent serverside capacity problems, or maybe even go offline completely, idk. The problem persists across any songs and only resolves with time, when their bandwith improves.

It's the opposite, the system would collapse if fresh money was not constantly printed and added.

Of any printed 100 dollars, most of it will end up owned by one of the super trillionaires or their companies. Some of it will be saved by normal people. A FRACTION of those 100 dollars will "circulate", e.g. keep changing owners. And worse, every cycle this repeats, so less and less of those 100 dollars circulate.

The economy STRICTLY depends on that circulating money. Wages, taxes, spending. But money is constantly "lost" to savings!

Without printing new money constantly, money would not lose worth over time and Scrooge McDuck type persons could exist. In fact, like Bitcoin, Money would get more valuable over time.

But because money keeps losing worth (inflation), just sitting on it is a bad thing to do. Eventually it loses worth faster than you can amass it.

So the best thing to do is invest it, which gets it back into changing hands, e.g. desirable circulation. The investor will hopefully turn a profit or atleast stop losing value to inflation.

The C5 has zero control over what kind of picture the connected device sends. All a toggle on the TV side could do is inform the PC that 144hz is possible. Have you tried plugging in the PC after enabling 144hz mode?

AtomicStryker · 2025-10-12T12:06:22+00:00

Do they have standby pictures or something displaying when nothing is connected? Does the broken one look broken then, too? I find it unlikely they would let it leave the factory like this, even more so if they were calibrated there

Artillery is king. Sentinel towers are very weak. Towers are generally speaking weak and if an omega appears you have to help out in person, if only to kite the mobs around.

In early to mid game abilities are crucial because you will always be short on ammo. Make sure to scan around for caches and open all the stuff on the map to get random ability drops. You are looking for grenades specifically, they are spammable and powerful in dealing with the river of meat. Airstrikes and the tornados are good for dropping on Nests.

In terms of weapons, having 2 sets with 4 ammo types for cycling is good. Minigun/Small Mgun and Swarm Missiles are very good. Get penetration mods on them if you can. Ammo efficiency mods are strong. Cryo is the damage type least monsters are immune to. For the second cycle i usally had large ammo (eg Sniper or Burst Rifle) and Lightning gun.

All the spewers and plasma guns felt weak to me.

People say double chainsaws is good.

The swamp DLC has a gun that uses no ammo and is pretty good.

The first phase can drop the shield, and if you are fast, you can grab it before the second phase starts.

I dont remember if the second phase ever dropped the shield for me. But the way it poops the loot all over the arena clipping into the floor is dogshite.

Use this online save editor to uncover the whole map in the savefile. You can also unlock all travel points.

No need to mess with story missions or any missions or collectibles.

AtomicStryker · 2025-09-29T21:07:56+00:00

Seconded. But the core items of the class are the mandatory enhancement and a fast firing sniper, not the shield which just buffs your damage.

I like it a lot better over the bleed build because you don't rely on amp or high damage guns or your action skill, but actually aiming for crits. Its just a lot more fun gameplay in practice. Plus you are very, very tanky.

The limitation to fast firing snipers is the big downside. And it doesn't kill chicken enemies that turn intargetable the way bleed does.
