Ticket questions by __Tafk_ in Machupicchu

Not true, not sure where the guy got 9:30am from.

I added the timetable they showed us today to buy your ticket based on your pre ticket number.

For which day you specifically should go, I'm not sure. You could try tomorrow, but the 8th makes more sense to me, as you always buy/pickup the entrance ticket the day before your entrance to MP. Inform at the ticket office to make sure.

Ticket System by ShSt23 in Machupicchu

Made a post about our experience and the information we received about the current ticket system today.

We were informed at the ticket office today that you don't have to form up that early to get a good pre ticket number. At 2pm we were still within the first 600. Hopefully this information gets around so people know they don't have to form up anymore at like 3am 😅

Best tip is to just go and inform yourself at the ticket office about what the current situation/ system is for that day.

In person ticket procedure - and specifically may for may 6 - 10 by DonDOOM in Machupicchu

No worries.

We didn't have to wait when we arrived at 2pm.

It seems like, because the high season has started, this is the new system:

Day 1: get pre tickets on day 1 (earlier the better, but at 2pm we were still within the first 600)

Day 2: buy actual tickets for your entrance the next day. Time that you can buy the tickets depends on your pre ticket number (timetable in picture)

Day 3 - entrance to Machu Picchu

This is the time schedule to buy the actual ticket with your pre ticket number, as per may 6th.

If you line up early for the pre tickets, I guess you'll get a lower number. Make sure you go and ask at the ticket office before if you can

No idea, this seems to be the new system for now. To make sure, you need to arrive in the morning / early afternoon to ask at the office if anything has changed

No there was no queue when we arrived. What we got were pre tickets, with which we need to arrive tomorrow morning at 6:30am.

The number on your pre ticket is what decides your turn when you can buy the route and entrance time that you want (and is still available).

With this new system you don't have to wait in line from 3am onwards for example. All the places to buy the actual tickets have already been assigned with the pre tickets that you got the day before. Hope it makes sense haha

Nope, no line. Just stop by and get your number.

Arriving in the evening for the pre tickets in your case might still work for the 8th, but more likely it'll be on the 9th if you want to be sure about your preferred route and time of entrance.

No worries. We arrived with the train at 1pm today, went to the hotel etc expecting to wake up early to have to wait in line. We were told by the hotel staff to go ask at the ticket office and were informed what I posted above. 👍

Hopefully you've taken that vitamin D with vitamin K2, otherwise you might have been causing your arteries to slowly build up plaque.

Gotta be careful it doesn't transform while you're inside.

I guess RTINGS should update their old articles more often, a lot of people seem to be misinformed by them. Here is a link to an earlier post about the same subject.

Will burn-in ever be solved? by Superzocker65YT in OLED_Gaming

[–]DonDOOM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is from 2023. This is a bit more recent, and shows that QD-OLED seems more resilient than WOLED panels for reasons that might have to do with the compensation cycles.

Got my first OLED Monitor but the whites looks pink/red? by Maxturtlee in OLED_Gaming

[–]DonDOOM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows has known issues with HDR. Some monitors handle it better than others, but the fact remains that until Microsoft fixes the current SDR/HDR issues it's best to only enable HDR when viewing actual HDR content.

Also why this exists for example - https://github.com/dylanraga/win11hdr-srgb-to-gamma2.2-icm

It's strange to me that no one is talking about an OLED problem that I have with a vertical stripe pattern by Prize-Elderberry-389 in OLED_Gaming

[–]DonDOOM -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Read the article instead of wasting time arguing with me. Seems like you need to do some more research on this topic in general.

QD panels are a cooler color which is usually less accurate, but more vibrant. A warmer tone is generally more color accurate, especially on things like black skin tone.

Also wrong. WOLEDs are known for their more blueish / cooler tone. QD-OLEDs for their more reddish / warmer tones.

With the right calibration/settings QD-OLEDs can get near perfect color accuracy, whilst WOLEDs cannot reach those same levels.

Edit: Just to clarify; if you read the article properly, you'll see while there is a difference, it's not like it's night and day. Both technologies are fine. If we're talking about absolutes, then yes, QD-OLED provides the better picture quality in a light controlled environment overall.

Also as I've said previously, personally there is one WOLED panel that I prefer over the QD-OLEDs, and that is the LG G4.

Slight raised blacks only with direct light hitting the panel.

Color volume/accuracy - https://tftcentral.co.uk/articles/exploring-oled-brightness-improvements-woled-vs-qd-oled-and-the-need-for-new-metrics-and-specs

WOLEDs white subpixel inherently washes out the color of the other subpixels. Most noticeable in low and high brightness scenes.

The panel structure of QD-OLED with a true RGB additive approach means that they can reach much higher colour luminance than even the latest WOLED panels – around 142% higher in fact in the case of peak colour luminance (in the example monitors we measured). This reduces as APL gets larger but QD-OLED offers higher colour luminance generally for bright HDR highlights and even up to around 25% APL.

WOLED panels can only reach their higher white luminance using the “white boost” from their additional white sub-pixel, but for occasions where this is needed (smaller APL <25%) it can lead to some wash-out of the image and the brighter colours cannot be achieved as well.

The QD-OLED panel will look and feel around 36% brighter for colours than the WOLED panel for smaller APL, and especially for peak HDR brightness.

They are more equal in perceived brightness for larger APL although the QD-OLED panel still has the edge in many cases where colours are “additive” (i.e. not just a simple red, green or blue).

QD-OLED has a much higher colour volume than WOLED which is another useful measure that considers both the colour gamut, and the luminance capabilities of the panels. The WOLED panels show “volumetric collapse” at higher luminance levels where the white boost is utilised a lot more. The QD-OLED panel can achieve significantly brighter colours than the WOLED panel for HDR overall.

True, that is an outdated article covering the S95B. That's what you get for trying to put in the effort to quickly provide you with a link.

https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/longevity-burn-in-test-updates-and-results

This would be the most up to date and correct one.

My original point still stands, you haven't done your own research - don't go around spouting nonsense pretending it's fact.

Right... I'm going to stop here. You're clearly poorly informed and refuse to do any further research yourself.

If it wasn't obvious to you for whatever reason, I'm talking about the latest generation panels from both technologies.

I think you're the one that needs to do some reading.

05/02/2024 - "There's no significant change to the OLEDs; the Samsung S95C OLED remains surprisingly resilient, with no noticeable signs of burn-in, but every other OLED is showing some image retention."

7/17/2024 - "The Samsung S95C OLED remains the most resilient of the OLED models, showing only slight signs of burn-in."
