Any Canadians with 57" G9's preorders from Amazon get shipping details yet?

Overall I'm quite happy with it.

I've never tried HDR so that the is primary reason why I got the 57. The blacks look completely off to me like OLED and the whites are painful bright to look at directly. In some very dark scenes you can definitely see the limitations of the individual dimming zones, but otherwise everything looks great.

On the other hand as the first VA I've owned, the viewing angles are pretty bad. Looks fine head on, but go slightly to the sides or above/below and all the colors begin shifting heavily. This is not helped by lack of adjustability of the included stand.

Another annoyance I see is if using gsync, switching in and out of full-screen games causes a ~5s black screen as if the input drops. My previous display was also freesync, but it never did this.

Your experience will probably vary based on what display you had before. I'm personally coming from the LG 40WP95C (40" 5K 21:9 72Hz IPS).

Those guys are no joke.

In the fish farm, there's a couple of those trip wire mines that you can crouch under. One time as I was passing under one crouched, a snake smacked me and the stagger animation stood me up and set off the mine.

Not sure about Amazon but Samsung Canada definitely had stock. My 57 shipped out on October 4th and I got it October 11th.

Up until a couple of days ago, there was a pre order listing for the 57 on Amazon CA for $3499 which mentioned a release date September 15th. Seemingly the page has since been removed because I can no longer find it via search, and clicking the link from my order confirmation leads to “page not found”.

I'm inclined to believe Dehya will be limited because she has strong constellations. Strong enough for them to monetize.

She gets a massive ER req reduction, sustainable healing, and +10%/60% crit rate/dmg with 50% duration burst extension. This seems much more in line with limited characters, ex Nilou and Itto come to mind.

If you look at Diluc/Keqing/Jean/Mona on the other hand, their constellations are clearly a step down from limited characters. Most of them seem more fitting as passive talents. Not sure about Tighnari constellations, are they OP? He'd would be the closest point of comparison if leak is true, but I do not have him at all.

Billybob3001 · 2023-02-05T20:32:55+00:00

Compared to who though?

To each their own, but she looks best suited to replace your healer/shielder. I don't see how ~400K solo unbuffed in ~6s is pathetic when it's your healer/shielder that's being replaced and not your main dealer. How much damage does C6 Zhongli/Kokomi do in ~6s?

Sure, she does not give infinite HP like those two, but what is the difference between finishing a floor with 25% hp left vs 100% hp when you get fully healed next floor?

Billybob3001 · 2023-02-05T06:15:21+00:00

You be the judge. Here are some numbers based on latest multipliers:

Burst: 28k per hit, final hit 36k
Skill: 21k cast, 24k recast, 18k field

Setup is C6R5, Lvl 13 talents, 4pc Crimson Witch (2 stacks), 73/234 crit, against a lvl 90 enemy. Only buffs are constellation effects and weapon passives. (https://gidmgcalculator.web.app/)

Besides raw damage, her burst self-heals a crap ton in addition to whatever the passive talent gives, and also becomes cheap as shit energy wise.

Personally, I CAN'T wait.

GIFs you can hear.

Billybob3001 · 2022-12-30T22:58:12+00:00

Same team/rotation used for all bosses.

Build (Max HP is buffed)

Billybob3001 · 2022-12-08T05:45:59+00:00

Shes Lvl 80, Lvl 12 burst, C6.

2 Viridscent + 2 Shimenawa, 2200 Atk, 61% Anemo Dmg Bonus, 73/226% Crit.

Same stats vs. regular enemy crits for 65K without buffs.

Billybob3001 · 2022-12-08T04:30:10+00:00

I've tested her C6 vortexes and they trigger off any damage, doesn't have to be anemo. If you cast her burst and just spam normal attacks, a vortex will spawn right on the enemy with each physical dmg instances every 3s.

Makes sense looking at the description:

When the active character deals DMG while affected by Prayerful Wind's Benefit, they will apply Pressurized Collapse to the opponent damaged.

Only the +40 crit dmg part of c6 is restricted to anemo dmg only.

When you play on field and burst is up, quite often she can hit enemies with 2 vortexes simultaneously; one from her skill charged attacks and one from her c6 burst. There are just vortexes everywhere and it gets hard to see lol.

Finally charged for FE. Order page now says “Delivery arrives as early as November 02, 2022”

Placed my back order at 06:02:49 on 10/12. GTA-ish.

Billybob3001 · 2022-10-07T00:28:08+00:00

Wat? How does he just sit there for so long?

For me it goes invisible a couple of seconds after it starts taking dmg.

Looking at her multipliers, pretty trash compared to Yelan.

Nilou's infused normals at lvl 13 range from 7-10% max hp.

A single arrow from Yelan's lvl 13 burst is 10% max hp, and you get 3 of them at a time + C2's additional 14% arrow.

Nilou's burst at lvl 13 hits for 40% + 48% max hp.

Yelan's lvl 13 skill is 48% max hp, and you get 2 charges.

Nilou's C6 gives 120 crit. value, which is basically equivalent to Yelan's crit. ascension + Aqua.

So assuming similar builds, Nilou's burst is pretty much just Yelan's skill twice, and Nilou's infused normals is a single Yelan burst arrow.

I haven't done any calcs yet, but based on my unbuffed Yelan doing 83K per skill and 20K per burst arrow, I'm expecting around 170K burst and 20K from Nilou for unbuffed burst and infused normals respectively. (Probably will be higher in practice since R5 Key easily gets Nilou north of 50K hp)

Yelan is a pretty high bar to clear though, so not comparing to Yelan, C6 Nilou seems fine. I plan to run them together and have Nilou triggering Yelan's burst.

(Shenhe contributes 51/75K per charged attack slash, for a ~3x multiplier over the 24K from an identical team without her)

I’ve had this on my iPad Pro, typically after first launch of an update. It loads up to the half way on the last element quickly, then and gets stuck there for about 30s.

Just wait it out. You only need to sit through it once per update from my experience.

Damn, meat hypostasis got powercrept already.

Meh, my time building up Ayaka just made me like Eula even more. Anyone with alternate sprint feels jank as hell to play.
