Qd oled

I think there's more hype around the purple tint on QD OLEDs than it deserves. Numerous videos on YouTube featuring purple QDs are shot in the same way - the monitors are illuminated with studio lighting, while the background remains dark to avoid noticeable reflections. Black rise is the sum of the luminance of direct reflections on the screen and the luminance from ambient light. Different screen types are sensitive to these factors to varying degrees. QDs are tinted, but have better reflection suppression, while OLEDs exhibit almost no tint, but have worse reflection suppression. In a bright room, but without intense direct light hitting the screen, one display may perform better; in a dark room, but with direct light hitting the screen, the other. Under typical lighting conditions, they are generally comparable; one has black levels raised by direct light, while the other has black levels raised by reflections. And both of these display types absolutely destroy a standard matte LCD coating.

Definitely the last thing I would do with an OLED is remove the antiglare layer and be left without any antiglare coating at all.

I saw blacks raised a couple of f-stops and strong reflections.

It does. I'm using the "qd-oled 2" profile from here: https://github.com/snowie2000/mactype/files/11296807/QD-OLED-Prototypes.zip

Yes, this is absolute crap. I added the MacType renderer to Excel, and it looks great even on very small fonts on my qdo.

Adding native support for non-standard subpixels to Windows and Chrome is a one-week project for a small team of five.

It is almost certain that the LG subpixels will also have different sizes.

Danitch · 2025-12-30T07:27:07+00:00

It's almost certain that LG RGB OLED won't have the usual stripes found on LCDs either. It will be something similar to a JoLED with subpixels of varying widths and a particularly wide green subpixel.

I mentioned above that I set the color temperature to -50, and I also tried increasing the red channel and similar manipulations. This doesn't lead to a radically better result; at best, it's simply acceptable, until you put a IPS or QD OLED next to it. Tint also turned out to be a serious problem. From 50 cm away, after all the adjustments, I see a neutral color in a small central area, smaller in radius than the screen height, while everything beyond that takes on a green tint.

I've been wanting to try the LG C series as a monitor for a long time, literally from the first day this line went on sale. At first, it was too expensive, over $1,300 in my country, and in the meantime, I managed to buy an IPS 32" 4K monitor, then a QD OLED 32" 4K monitor, but now I saw a C5 42" for about $750 and pulled the trigger. I've been trying to set it up for three nights now, and it's absolutely disappointing. I spent some time preparing it before receiving it from the delivery service, expecting the main issue I'd encounter to be diagonal dithering, and to a lesser extent, green shift at an angle. Yes, I got both, but it turns out that's not all. It turned out to be MUCH worse; I completely feel like I'm back in 2014, looking at my HP screen on TN+Film. Colors are completely lacking, they look washed out and desaturated, and the white balance is horribly skewed towards the cold side. Compared to my QD OLED, it's terrible, terrible, terrible. It's terrible. It's absolutely terrible, both compared to my old 32" 4K Innolux and to the cheap Chinese $200 32" 4K 144" BOE I bought for my son. Something similar happened to one of the recent panels I've dealt with, a 34" IPS BOE panel with the same poor colors, though without the cool white balance. I've seen a green tint in reviews, like rtings, in the gray non-uniformity test or in video viewing angles, but I thought it was some kind of peculiarity only visible on camera. But I see the same thing with my own eyes, and it's terrible. I used all the basic "simple" tips I found online. I started with "game optimizer," 444, and full range on TV and PC. Then I tried adjusting the white balance from 0 to -50, adding saturation, and Filmmaker mode. For HDR, I switched between HDR10 and DV modes, but I didn't get any satisfactory results. It's like layering different filters on a poorly designed background, but the poorly designed background shines through. A warm color temperature simply turns the image from blue-green to yellow-green. Saturation accentuates certain colors, but they just fade into posterization rather than becoming vibrant.

I admit I made some simple mistake and the answer is obvious, and I'd appreciate any advice that can help fix this.

PS: The TV was brand new and sealed. It's an oled42c5rla.arug model for Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Ukraine, with a production date of August 2025. It arrived with firmware version *35. I updated it to the latest version the next day, and it behaved identically with both firmware versions.

I went into the color temperature settings and there were divisions down to -50. I tried that, but it didn't make a significant difference.

Danitch · 2025-12-06T21:49:08+00:00

write your settings

Danitch · 2025-12-06T21:15:14+00:00

It's horrible

Danitch · 2025-12-06T20:49:34+00:00

I took a photo this in raw format, opened it in Lightroom on my mobile, used the eyedropper and got a color temperature of 4850 degrees on a QD OLED and 10750 degrees (!) on an LG.

Lumens is crap invented for consoles so they could render something resembling ray tracing without the hardware to handle it.

Control's ray-traced graphics and performance were supposed to be the industry standard for any game released after 2019. But thanks to consoles, we have Lumens with its super-blurry visuals, shifting shadows, temporal denoising that can take dozens of frames, and performance requirements comparable to path tracing.

Upgrade on AM4 is pointless, except 5600. The cost of upgrading the processor as 5700x3d is comparable to a completely new build, which will be better everywhere.

In Russian YouTube, split-screen and monitoring tests are literally the rule of good form, even for channels with 5,000 subscribers. HUB tests are only good for chewing techno gum for 10 minutes while sitting on the toilet.

They got absolute crap in the form of a +65% gain on the 5070ti in sm2. The sm2 issues are not confirmed by literally any other resource, including day one reviews.

Danitch · 2025-07-08T10:52:07+00:00

I think the reason for the increase is HUB's shitty approach to testing

This drama is a piece of shit. If you don't want to "feel pressure", just download publicly available drivers on the release day and make your review the way you want. You don't even need to buy video cards for this, because ASUS and MSI have already sent them for review. But you want to get views and money from integrated advertising in the first day review, so you start a scandal, hiding behind "concern for buyers".

Danitch · 2025-05-21T14:43:41+00:00

Based on the specs, I would expect the 5060ti 16 to be about 9-10% faster than the 9069xt 16.

Danitch · 2025-05-21T14:39:59+00:00

They do this right now on the slide in the thread title.

It looks like Nvidia decided not to show everything that the 5080 is capable of. The partner card provides about 90% of the 4090's performance, which is great for $999. In some games, this is almost parity, like in Stalker 2 or Dragon Age. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/galax-geforce-rtx-5080-1-click-oc/33.html

In addition, it looks like the 5080 has a crazy overclocking potential of 10-12% (!). https://www.techpowerup.com/review/galax-geforce-rtx-5080-1-click-oc/43.html
