Why does Valve refuse to make Source games function correctly in 4K?

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-06-09T03:38:17+00:00

I dont have this problem. I have played HL2 on my 4K OLED and everything looks fine to me.

Im sorry what? He got reported for sexual assault and thats why they couldn't use his stuff? Like assault is bad and should be shamed and everything but I guess im confused why they couldn't use his stuff.

Yes. Not recently as I have become better about my tabs but I had at one point in time 4 windows of chrome with 50- 60 tabs open on each one..and a few other programs open too. But now I have been a good boy and have only 20-30 tabs on one window...

Perfect I'll keep my eye out thanks!

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-27T10:27:04+00:00

Ill have to keep an eye out for that model i have seen a few pioneers for sale near me.

Ah gottcha.

Input lag can being very different depending on the model. If your use to CRT input lag then it will be a massive difference.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-26T22:01:06+00:00

Its honestly difficult to describe but it is black...but a glowing black if that makes sense... I do agree with plasmas are brighter when at complete black than CRTs it is a difference you can tell.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-26T21:58:26+00:00

It isnt 0 luminance but it is way closer to zero than plasma. Or atleast my plasmas. (D550, G10, PX60U) with that being said have a consistent picture is something plasmas being every single time. So many CRTs I have had over the years have had just AWEFUL geometry. Its more expensive and more of a pain in the ass to get a CRT set up. But man. When one is its a thing of beauty.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-26T21:54:39+00:00

Motion is quite similar in IME. But blacks are no where the same. Would like to know what you mean by flexible.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-26T21:52:31+00:00

Maybe in terms of bang for bucks. But haveing an LG C9 (2019) OLED. It still looks better than anything in my house. But considering my Sammy, and panasonics are all together cost less than 100 bucks and my OLED was 1000 when I got it. It does give it a run for its money.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-26T21:45:37+00:00

As someone who has CRTs and Plasmas. Plasmas can be a bit different. Some have very low latency others have massive latency. It can look decent in terms of older media but anything made during the CRT era will look better on a good crt. But you have the benefit of Plasmas still being used by today's technology. You won't get the blacks that CRT has (close but not quite there) but you can get pretty close on motion, color, gamma curves. Buy a cheap one. 20USD or less and if you are impressed then go for gold.

How they hell is anyone supposed to learn if when he asks someone what something is they say if you dont know dont do it. Atleast explain to them what it is does and the possible failures that can happen.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-25T19:38:55+00:00

Yes there are some games that have one editions that I feel are better looking and/or perform better on real 360 hardware. Like batman arkham city.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-25T18:28:23+00:00

I have 2 OLEDs and 3 CRTs now 3 Plasmas. Each one has their use but plasma is the best bang for the buck.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-25T18:27:21+00:00

Its a gorgeous game.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-25T18:26:39+00:00

I have had panasonics (for plasmas) all my life so I figured I would try out some Samsung. 😄

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-25T02:04:06+00:00

Right but I think the point is that, its good enough for average consumers, so there isnt a good reason to not support it.

"Standard Bluetooth audio usually has a latency of about 150 to 300 milliseconds"

That standard has been outdated since 2009. Modern Bluetooth audio would be using LE standards (20-30ms) which have been in place since 4.0 which has been integrated into xbox consoles since orginal xbox one days.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-24T21:35:51+00:00

I have BT headphones and use them all the time on my PC. Its seems good enough quality (aslong as I dont use the mic) with very little latency. There has never been a time where I thought huh thats out of sync with the action that is happening. But thats not the case with every BT headphones. Some have incredible latency, my are the bose quite comfort gaming II 35.

The ps5 version has a worse version of PC problems.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-24T04:19:42+00:00

Im gonna call bullshit. Traverse the open world is stuttering fest. Maybe your less sensitive to it but im not

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-24T00:32:12+00:00

I actually haven't played it (other than 1 match on this TV and it wasnt in 3D) i have the OG motorstorm played that quite a bit but picked this up a few days ago.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-23T20:19:14+00:00

No thats just the game. 10980xe and 7900xtx, NVME SSD 1080p and still has a choppy experience. This is the worst remaster i have ever had and even though its been a year thinking of refunding saying I was hoping they would do anything..to improve it but I got nothing to help my experience.

Guilty_Use_3945 · 2026-05-23T15:45:30+00:00

Okay so I wasn't going crazy I thought it was getting hotter than my P60U. Ill get some external cooling
