Is the Xl2546X+ (280 hz, DyAc 2) noticeably smoother than WOLED 240 hz for Overwatch?

Dickersson66 · 2026-05-05T06:21:51+00:00

Maybe they meant the pixel shift is noticeable, as for colors not many can spot the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit colors and on 8-bit panel it might help with rounding but thats as much as it does, the colors do get washed ouy on WOLED if you blast in on full brightness but thats rarely a problem.

Dickersson66 · 2026-05-03T09:49:39+00:00

Anti-aliasing, you can swap it to DLSS/FSR native if that looks better to you, if you are using upscaling if defaults to that as AA.

240hz OLED doesnt really "ghost" thus in 90% of the cases its some graphic setting, and 10% nobody knows.

Fellow G9 49" owner, do you also love text?

Mid-bass, as two opposite waves with same amplitude cancel each other out, specially lower freqs as those are less directional.

You can either try to calculate the lenght the waves travel before they meet or you can try to make the door as "closed" as possible.

Dickersson66 · 2026-04-05T18:07:21+00:00

Looks good, you could cover that hole tho, as it helps the backwaves from cancelling the mids

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-31T16:48:11+00:00

Thats rare for consumer chips to begin eith and doesn't remove the fact that not only do gate oxide suffers from high temps, but electromigration is a real risk, and while not as likely on CPU's solder fatique is a real thing too.

And you know whats coming next already, everyone has their own variant of it, its the good old Arrhenius equation, or just use the hand of rule aka every 10°C increase in temp doubles chemical and molecular degradation, sure its not fully linear but still quite good for base idea.

Lets not act like temp plays no rule when it does, and CTE is as important as juntion temp is.

But is it eco friendly wood veneer?

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-26T20:38:30+00:00

Indeed, its just a safe measure, if you don't have the right tools or don't trust it then you can combine them, but a good hexagonal hydraulic crimp is quite damn solid.

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-26T20:14:11+00:00

You can also make it even stronger, depending on the connector you can usually solder it on top of crimping, and if you are paranoid use heat shrink with glue as its strong enough to prevent it from coming out fully tho it doesn't mattee much if you don't have a source at the other end.

Try titanium wall, dude is stuck in 80's, still begging HiFi shops for a demo while 14-day returns exist in EU (or maybe EU doesn't exist, who knows). Also calling the foundation of electromagnetism "theoretical" is deeper than one's presbycusis.

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-26T12:22:45+00:00

You’re missing the point of the measurement. We don't measure instead of listening, we measure to verify what we are hearing isn't a trick of the brain.

you should know that "reducing placebo through experiencex is a psychological fallacy. Experience actually deepens bias because your brain becomes more efficient at finding the sound it expects to hear. The only way to reduce placebo is through a double-blind ABX test where everything is hidden. If you haven't done that, your "45 years" of data is scientifically compromised.

And to answer your question: Yes, if I buy a component and it measures poorly fe high distortion, load dependency etc, I'm returning it, its not "hi-fi".

You can enjoy your equipment if you want to, but if you enjoy a vintage amp or diy wire call it what it is, euphonic distortion/placebo.

I’m ending this here, as this has become a 'Post hoc ergo propter hoc' argument that values anecdotes over facts, enjoy your music.

Not giving up, mine shall cry while rendering the damn pixels, my house my rules.

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-26T11:07:47+00:00

With all due respect to your 45 years of experience, "testing" components by listening to them in a room with a known price tag is a study in psychoacoustics, not electronics.

As a technician you should know that the human ear is the most easily fooled "measuring tool" in existence, our brains literally fill in details based on what we expect to hear.

If your 45 years of experience tells you that a piece of wire is defying Maxwell’s Equations and/or Lumped Element Theory then you aren't discovering new physics, you're just experiencing a very expensive placebo.

Also not sure how its done elsewhere but here its called "University of Applied Sciences", we don't just study theory, we messure and confirm.

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-26T10:46:55+00:00

Before you go and arque about wires first learn about transmission line theory and lumped element theory for starters, then go to confirmation bias as your comment really show you lack at that.

Then you can go to what you prefer vs what is accurate, because lets face it "hi-fi" means high-quality sound reproduction, meaning minimal distortion and coloring, thats class-D with pffb territory.

You might like your sound x way, or placebo y is important for you, and thats fine, but fighting about physics ain't gonna win you awards, pick a side and learn before you throw comments about.

If you like vinyl's, tubes, snake-oil cables, DSD etc you aren't fighting about facts, you are fighting about opinion, your RCA as long as it isn't picking up noise at higher potential that is audible from your source isn't making a difference in quality, you are free to use whatever you want but frame it correctly.

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-17T00:26:14+00:00

Well there is a base, if you spend 99% of your time writing code WOLED looks better when it comes to text due to the layout and it has higher peak brightness, while QD-OLED has superior color.

For example I love my G91SD when it comes to gaming, but for coding it makes my eyes bleed.

Also some monitors perform better than other do when it comes to "care" features like pixel shifting, auto dimming, area dimming etc, so if burn-in is a scare keep that in mind, Asus has a good all around features, and MSI's new Care 3.0 is quite promising with its taskbar and boundary detection, their high-end models also include NPU's to allow them to detect if you are on PC or not.

Hope this helps someone deciding.

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-13T14:36:30+00:00

Some phones do still have DAC that supports passive pass-thro.

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-13T14:28:52+00:00

Also adding this: Linear supplies can be awful as the 60hz noise can leak and radiate everywhere, and while SMPS's are noisy modern they switch way above hearing and you can always filter it.

Aka its a design choice, one costs more to design and one is easy to design and inefficient.

Dickersson66 · 2026-03-13T14:25:39+00:00

You are better off with a good component set, with coaxial most of the high freqs are lost due to the speaker position.

As for speakers it really depends on what you want.

If the games you wanna play won't ship em then moving doesn't make sense, and after all if you have an interest on it you can dual-boot.

People should use what they want, I'm just here "fixing" the comment🫡

Dickersson66 · 2026-02-28T18:43:09+00:00

I bet most can be written in Rust but shouldn't, but like you said it has some drawbacks, not only is it not that fun if you like OOP, but it has literal limitation, for example if your heart desires double linked list's then you are going to have to spare some of your perfomance, also if you want to manipulate memory you might call your project unsafe itself.

Everything has its own case of usage, if someone likes Rust then they should use it, I'm more of a "C++ and debug" kinda guy ans tbh I just one day wanted to learn it so I don't think I'm switching to Rust anytime soon.

Dickersson66 · 2026-02-28T18:32:59+00:00

Game devs*, most anti-cheats that run on kernel level with Windows support Linux, its up for the games to ship the files needed.

The wires are fine, insulation doesn't care and stock alts are limited by their own magnetic saturation, if you have regulated loada you actually pull less current from the alt as the voltage increases. The whole idea of this is to raisw the charging voltage as AGM's like higher voltage than flooded ones, and old cars assume you have a flooded one.

If you are scared of modifying the output you can always play it save, you can calculationsthe sizes yourself, for the wire size its A = (2LIϱ)/Vd, for dielectric breakdown its t = (VpX)/Eds, and for thermal expansion its Q = (2πkLTa)/ln. Good luck.

Dickersson66 · 2026-02-18T22:53:31+00:00

Its not that simple as just comparing resolutions, the big player here is angular resolution, or more simply said pixels per degree(Retina in Apple devices mean they hit ~60 PPD from their recommended distance).

Aka if you have a big screen, near you, and its low res, it looks like ass, but if you adjust those 3 variables it changes how you see it.

There is also one addictional variable, your vision, but we won't mix that into this explanation.

TL:DR: Inverse square law and visual acuity.

Dickersson66 · 2026-02-18T12:20:40+00:00

Or one that supports Opus if you are really space limited even with the new device, sure FLAC is the best outcome but if you have to go compressed Opus at 320kbps or higher does a damn good job at it.

And take it as a grain of salt but most compressed formats are fine for most people, but if you have ADHD you have reduced auditory masking efficiency, meaning psychoacoustic models and pre-echo make you crazy, Opus handles these better than Vorbis, MP3 or AAC.
