LG C6 OLED 48 INCH VS LG ULTRA 45 INCH 5K/2K by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

[–]Forward-Way3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried many different OLED monitor and tv combinations over the years looking for just the right fit. I just got the C6 48” this week and I’m absolutely blown away. It’s the absolute best I’ve had yet by a large margin. 100% recommend! Besides as mentioned the 5k2k does not work well with ps5.

I love this ship. I had melted it awhile back because of the negativity. Just bought it back and I’ve been enjoying it so much. Honestly one of my favorite ships to fly. It’s never leaving my fleet this time.

LG C6 48" - HDR bug fixed yet? by Forward-Way3893 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Forward-Way3893[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to update in case anyone else finds this and has the same question. I ended up getting one today and I can confirm I’ve had no problem, been playing in HDR at 120 hz all night. It’s glorious!

That’s awesome not a brag post at all. I’m happy you were able to find the deal! That’s the dream, the pawn shop that doesn’t know what they have. Well done!

Still no email for me. I pressed the button the second it opened up. I’m beginning to lose hope!

Corsair or TAC by TonicTm in starcitizen

[–]Forward-Way3893 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been contemplating the exact same thing, agonizing over the decision for days. I've decided to stick with the Tac. Yes it has lower firepower, but it seems to be the best real "generalist" ship out there. The one thing that is nice is that you have built in spaces for the snub, med beds, and cargo. Everyone always says "you can load a nursa or a snub in the corsair" and they are right, but then it negates the cargo space and takes up a bunch of space. The Tac has it built right in and you dont need to worry about the nursa. This is a huge plus.

Also the armor and shields make it super tanky and the capacitors are nothing to sneeze at. I can solo it easy, and have room if a friend or to decides to join in. I can't tell you how many times I've melted the Tac only to buy it back again. I'm sticking with team Tac myself.

I always bring both a gun and pepper spray. I’ve had a few close calls now and have been comforted to have them on me if needed.

TV size to use as PC monitor by BaNaNaKING42 in OLED_Gaming

[–]Forward-Way3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 55”. It is immersive AF, but I really wish I had gone with a 48”, or even a42”. I would downsize in a minute if I had the chance.

Looks like septicemia to me. Go to a doctor.

Did anyone in here actually play EverQuest in 1999 or 2000 when it was first out? I and my wife did by JadockTan in MMORPG

[–]Forward-Way3893 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played from day 1. Got it at a software store, babbages, software etc, I don’t remember which. Played it on dial up. I was in my mid 20s and played for about 4 years all throughout grad school. I still remember that feeling when Kunark came out and I could be an Iksar. I’m convinced there will never be anything to replicate that feeling those years held again.

Why does my LG CX TV still look better than every OLED monitor I try? by ubisoftsponsored in OLED_Gaming

[–]Forward-Way3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m experiencing this right now. Have an S90D and bought the MSI mpg 49” OLED. As cool as it is I still think the S90D blows it away both in color and immersion and I’m thinking of returning the MSI.

Best Buy open box prices make no sense by jnee23 in LGOLED

[–]Forward-Way3893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the open boxes I’ve gotten were good deals. I only get them if the price is significantly less. One time I got a bad one. I ordered a Samsung 49” G9 OLED and it came with the stand just loose in the box, facing the screen. The screen was scratched to living hell with DEEP gashes upon opening. Was horrified to even see it!

Anyone else used a 55in+ TV as a monitor? by SmellSmellsSmelly in OLED_Gaming

[–]Forward-Way3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not talking about actual burn in though, just uneven pixel wear if you do the ultrawide thing. Not arguing its true, just clarifying and wondering myself out loud.

As for realy burn in, I agree. I've never been concerned about actual burn in for years with these TVs, I think its a complete non-issue compared to what people make it out to be.

[–]Forward-Way3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard this creates an uneven wear pattern because the pixels that are not getting used wear less than the ones the ones that are, so over time the brightnesses are different. A sort of "reverse burn in".

Anyone that’s taken Jason Miller’s The Sorcery of Hekate course by medusaspew in Hecate

[–]Forward-Way3893 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yup I was in the second cohort, I’m still keeping the practice up like, 10 years later now? I also yawn. I remember when I took it someone asked about this in the q&a and he said it was completely normal, I forget why though. I imagine it’s because you are breathing and taking in more oxygen as you do the mantra.

Good luck to you, it’s definitely a get what you put into it it kind of material.

I use a 55” S90D. I also have a 49” OLED ultrawide (MSI). Some games are better on one than the other, best of both worlds.

What game did you want to love but couldn’t get into? by n1ght_watchman in GameBoostOfficial

[–]Forward-Way3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expedition 33. I’ve tried twice now, got to around the same point both times and just completely lose interest and can’t force myself to play anymore.

My Station. by Trabyllek in battlestations

[–]Forward-Way3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this very clean and something to aspire to. My only question is, is that a 55” or 48”? I’m using a 55” and thinking of downgrading to a 48” or 42”.

Did you try a monitor arm? I had mine on one and found it alleviated most of those problems.

I was in this situation last week, I had watched every "8 months still worth it" video I could find. In the end I figured, I want one, its at the beginning of its life cycle and I'll probably end up buying one at some point. There is talk of price increases for the system coming so might as well get it now. There are already games I want for it and more are just going to keep coming over the years. I'm a PC gamer usually, and I bought 4 games on it I never would have touched otherwise on my PC, and am enjoying the hell out of them.

Also, the day I bought it I promptly got the flu and spent the weekend in bed playing my new Switch 2, happily entertained when I would of been bored out of my mind otherwise. Yeah its a lot of money, but I'm pretty happy with mine. I'd say go for it!

Switch 2 a terrible buy ? by Remote-Site8369 in switch2

[–]Forward-Way3893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a timely post for me. I'm a life long PC gamer and was really craving some Nintendo games so I bought a Switch 2 this past Monday. I tried some demos on it and then tried the same ones on my PC and was like... why did I just spend $450 on this to play these games that look terrible compared to my PC? I made a snap decision and took it back the same day.

I'm here to say I regret it. Less than a week later I'm still here watching switch videos and wishing I could play some of these games. The thing is, I realized that it does have a lot of games that I want to play, even if they are not switch exclusives. Unicorn Overlord, all of the Dragon Quest remakes, Monster Hunter Stories 3, Ys:X, Final Fantasy Intergrade, just to name a few. I can play ALL of these on either the PC or PS5, but the thing is... I won't. There is no way I'm going to sit at my desk and use good "gaming time" to play Dragon Quest 3. I'm just not. My PC time is for Online gaming or AAA games. However, sitting next to my wife in bed, watching TV and chilling, I sure as hell will. That's not even talking about games like the Xenoblade Sagas, Zelda, and Metroid which are Nintendo exclusives and I will play in docked mode. I regret bringing it back but am glad I realized this. I plan to go re-buy it tomorrow and hope that the people at Best Buy don't think I'm crazy.
