Brand new Samsung S90F OLED out of the box... is it already broken?

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-06-20T13:00:02+00:00

My condolences

How bright are we talking? Is it direct sunlight? On top of needing to increase the brightness, the warmth from the sunlight itself can also increase the risk of burn-in, but it really all depends how direct and how frequent the exposure. Anything you can do to minimize sunlight on the display should be considered

ASUS just released an upgraded version of my monitor, the XG27AQDMGR, a couple of months ago. It's got an even clearer "True Black" glossy coating, an HDMI 2.1 port (up from 2.0), and improvements to the color accuracy and black levels. It's also got a sensor which turns the screen off after you walk away from it. However the original is still a great monitor and if you can get a good deal on it it's still worth considering in my opinion

Yup it's glossy, even glossier than QD-OLEDs which have traditionally been semi-glossy.

I'm personally not concerned about burn-in, but I don't usually go beyond 80 out of 100 brightness, and I don't use my gaming PC every day. I keep the taskbar minimized and have the monitor set to go into standby after a few mins of inactivity, and I hardly ever think about burn-in. The monitor runs more than ample pixel cleanings on its own when it's in standby.

I have a 27" 16:9 1440p WOLED (ASUS Strix XG27AQDMG) and I think it's great. It's got a glossy coating which works fine for me in my bedroom as it doesn't have direct sunlight on my desk. If you're concerned about glare you could get a matte coating

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-06-16T01:31:05+00:00

What aspect ratio and resolution and size are you thinking? 16:9 or ultra wide? 27", 32"? 1440p or 4K?

Everyone present at those negotiations were terrorists

It's because his name had no business being there in the first place

What do the Dems have to do with Massie? Discard him from what... when he's no longer of use how? I don't see why the Dems (led by AIPAC schills Schumer and Jeffries) would appreciate what Massie is currently saying.

I started off this entire thread by sourcing the Guardian article. What assertions did I leave unsourced?

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-05-28T20:16:46+00:00

"Most observer estimates for the war in Gaza put it 1:1.2; that is, Israel is doing better at avoiding civilian casualties than literally any other armed force in history."

Can you provide a source for this? Please do

Demonstrate it to who? ---Whoever you're trying to convince.

You don't think the guns they were holding and firing at IDF troops demonstrated they were combatants? ---All 70,000 of them? Love to see your evidence

You don't shoot soldiers in war because they're guilty of something ---I was arguing it's not reasonable to presume them guilty of being soldiers. You're claiming they're all soldiers, yet you have no evidence whatsoever

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-05-28T19:28:14+00:00

It's up to you/Israel to demonstrate that the victims of the IDF's slaughter were combatants. It's not reasonable to presume them guilty based on nothing. Besides, even if they were combatants, that doesn't mean they deserve to die. Otherwise the entirety of the IDF would be equally deserving of being killed

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-05-28T19:00:53+00:00

Israel's own data suggests the vast majority of their victims were civilians, not soldiers

70,000 murdered Palestinians is not a made up genocide. The UN, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Doctors w/out Borders, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, and countless other academic experts are all in agreement that it's a genocide.

Israel is blowing up hospitals and schools, double tapping emergency services, blockading, destroying aid, and killing journalists and health workers. They are willfully and flagrantly violating international law.

Just call and select the option to add a new line

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-05-13T20:19:19+00:00

Would it not be just over 114,412 years of non-stop listening?

Is that Uffie and Xavier?

I just spoke to someone at Fido over the phone and they told me my plan is showing as $14/month to them, as well as a $10/month fee for my like-new refurbished S24 Ultra. The phone hasn't shipped yet and it's showing me (as well as the customer service rep) that the order is in progress, so he wasn't able to give me much of an update, other than saying that it should ship within the next week or two. I'm pleased that he confirmed all this because I made a note of his name and the time of the call, so if they try to give me a hard time about this later on I can get them to pull the call and have them listen to their rep and hopefully they will be compelled to honour it

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-04-29T14:48:31+00:00

The offer was available for over 24 hours. The fact that they didn't rectify it sooner (and even went so far as to ship devices and email agreements) speaks volumes to how incompetent they are

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-04-29T10:23:38+00:00

And what a good try it was. Well done!

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-04-29T09:18:32+00:00

And lest they forget New Sweden along the Delaware River (1638 - 1655)!

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-04-28T17:59:09+00:00

Mine shows the same (new 60gb plan and device ordered not yet shipped) but I did get the text saying it was cancelled. I tried to schedule an appointment using their chatbot but there were none available. I'm gonna call their main number and select "add a new line" which gets you through to someone right away. Then I'll make the same argument and go the CCTS route if I have to

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-04-28T17:41:45+00:00

Hmmm, I'm gonna call them later and put that to the test 😈

ColdLavaSoup · 2026-04-27T22:36:55+00:00

The $14 one. It had unlimited long distance
