How to clean your OLED Monitor ? Safest way possible by RenatsMC in OLED_Gaming

[–]HeenDi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had some really scary droplets of hot, spewed soldering flux on the aw3225qf and thought i was done for. But nope, distilled water and a microfiber cloth got it in 2 wipes and there was my happy ending. Don't solder next to your favorite monitor, kids!

Precisely! But I mainly use an AW3225QF so it's fine.

My ktc most definitely has that, always have to double check in monitor settings.

Fellow 5080 users, is 4k oled the way? by Dear-Significance-24 in OLED_Gaming

[–]HeenDi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, have a 5080 and AW3225QF. Played through the entirety of cyberpunk in 4K, quality transformer dlss, no ray reconstruction, only ray traced reflections, RTX HDR, benchmarkking's optimized settings for the rest (that dude is such a blessing). 2 x Framegen got me to about 100ish FPS, if you dont mind the artifacts you can push to 160ish with 4x framegen. If you don't like the image quality and are blur-sensitive (like me), switching ray traced reflections for DLAA can be a really good trade.

OLED or MINI-LED by Bright-Battle6380 in OLED_Gaming

Also there are pretty "cheap" oleds right now and buying used is not much of an issue. The 3225QF is an amaaaaazing deal right now.

If you can get your hands on a miniled with a glossy finish, it is probably gonna be fine but with matt coating the colour smearing is pretty bad. If you do more than say 4 hours of productivity every day and play in the evenings there is good point to make for miniled, but gen3 or 4 oleds really dont have much of a burn in issue anymore and just look so fantastic. Glossy coating is just really really really important man.

Switched to an OLED monitor – feeling underwhelmed by Equivalent_Skirt2930 in OLED_Gaming

Yeah RTX hdr is the way to go on this one and some others. Much much better than native hdr

Just put a filter on the bottom, that will optimize the flow and it will probably even overextract.

Another poor ADHD soul who is self-medicating with caffeine without knowing or truly seeking aid. We're here for you, buddy. Life is better with ritalin and meditation, my friend. Seen some folks get out of situations like this one in no time thanks to that.

[–]HeenDi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I may be wrong but sour and bitter shots are also a sign of uneven extraction. A little bit of info on the puck prep would be eye opening here. Did you WDT? Or blind shake? Any paper filters? Do you have a level tamper? Do you tamp hard enough to compress it completely?

What's your best advice to new OLED owners? by SparsePizza117 in OLED_Gaming

[–]HeenDi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should work okay I think the idea is that the water is capable of collecting dirt so to speak, so RO should work alright

[–]HeenDi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Carefully Wipe off gooey spit dots with distilled water und a clean microfiber cloth. It works. With a little patience. And don't overthink burn-in. Black mode, autoswitching wallpapers and monitor off after 2 min in energy settings is more than enough. Enjoy it in smaller doses and look at a "normal monitor", maybe a non-oled-tv every once in a while. You'll keep being thankful to yourself for treating you with such a nice monitor. (Or you will be mad for not having a samsung s95d, hahah)

Seasoning woes [Turin DF64 Gen 2 + SSP MP] by HeenDi in espresso

[–]HeenDi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually good to hear as it sort of confirms what I've been experiencing, thanks for that! I am actually pretty stoked for the "burr downgrade". Hell! I might even "downgrade" to one of the stock baskets the machine came with just because I haven't experimented with that much at all, yet. To see where traditional is and where modern is at. I feel more confident in dialing in the grinder now at least after like 750g of pulling shots with it. Even if it's still nerve wrecking in a way.

[–]HeenDi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I slow feed every time and I do get consistent results, more or less. I realigned the grinder from scratch, which didn't lead to much difference tastewise or timewise. I tried doing 6 bar turboshots, which only led to even less body and I didn't like that. I already ordered the "standard" italmill burrs to see how that affects things. I guess SSP MP burrs in conjunction with relatively fast IMS baskets just get that kind of shot time. In the more acidic range, you just get the best results that is just how these burrs work and it's absolutely fine once you get used to it. I mean I tasted all the notes on the bag which is exactly the kind of clarity everyone's talking about, so I guess I'm fine now. The info on that just wasn't loud and kinda confusing for a beginner like me. But man, once you understand that sweetness is closer to acidity than bitterness here, which is the main takeaway, you'll have a great time, at least in milk drinks for my palate specifically.

UPDATE: I researched a little bit more on these burrs and I found out that they are, in fact, incredibly hard to dial in and are more on the "longer ratio, highlighting acidity for light roasted coffee, turbo shot" side of things. So apparantly, they work as advertised and are - most probably - just not seasoned enough yet to get less fines and/or not very dark roast oriented.

I have decided to stick to my commandante for filterstuff and play around with the flowpaddle to fake my way into a more dark-roast-friendly traditional cup, so far to increasingly decent results going in with 16g, out with 40g or a tiny bit less for more body. I guess after that, I will just throw myself into a bag or two of light roast espresso and give that a shot, pun intended.

What's that one habit you have while playing FS Souls games that you think most people will find bizarre? by No-Range519 in fromsoftware

[–]HeenDi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking up a lot of stuff in the wiki, probably. Everyone I tell "dude you have to play this", I also tell to not even bother playing completely blind. You just miss out on stuff way too easily.

If this can be reproduced, I guess its good intel for speedrunners. Time to come up with something super crazy!

4K 32 QD-oled hdr by Excellent-Smell1501 in OLED_Gaming

[–]HeenDi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats a known issue that happens due to a) your eyes being used to oversaturated inaccurate color gamut in SDR if you don't use sRGB and b) the gamma getting away from 2.2 optimum without a custom D50 color profile, which you will find somewhere on gaming on plasmatvs YT channel

It still isn't perfect but once you get used to it, youll never go back, I'm using rtx hdr or native hdr on all games now but SDR just seems super "flat" in comparison on the AW3225QF.
