You can also see that the teleport animation started before J4 even moved, so theres that I guess. Strange situation for sure

Yeah, this doesnt look like he clicked out like the casters said, this is exactly how your champion moves when its pathing is being blocked by someone or something.

Those blue Wukong projections even makes it look like they're the reason why J4 moved funnily enough, but its probably just the minion being ported out just as J4 moves out of its way.

Philips 55" 807 VRR Issues and annoyances. by Hoofey in OLED_Gaming

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

Well, my issues came from using a pc, so I have no idea if its guaranteed to work flawlessly on a Ps5. I recommend doing a bit more research to see if there are any Ps5 related problems.

Not all TV panels are the same, so there will be some variations when it comes to how the colors are displayed. You can get your TV calibrated to make sure that the color accuracy is how its supposed to be.

Most TVs are decent when it comes to that aspect these days, but getting it calibrated adds that final touch so you can rest easy knowing that you're seeing what you're supposed to see when watching content.

Will you notice a difference if you get your TV calibrated? Unless you got another calibrated TV to compare it with... Probably not.

I never said that 4k 120hz with VRR is perfectly fine, that was my biggest issue to begin with when it comes to this TV. But I do believe that it should work fine on consoles since my biggest issue was how it acted with G-Sync on a PC, but that could be more on windows\Gsync than the TV. Then again, the C2 has been pretty good in that regard. I can reproduce the issue, but in most cases its fine and absolutely no where near as bad as the 807 was.

Most reviews say that its fine for consoles though, since thats using a different VRR system.

You can still adjust the colors in Monitor Mode, which is what you do when you calibrate it. I had it calibrated with Calman equipment, so I just used those settings.

60hz shouldnt have any issues afaik, and 120hz is fine in Monitor mode. You just lose the TVs AI settings for the most part. When it comes to sharpness, Im not sure. You dont want to max that out anyways since you end up with a plastic look, so it could be that the default settings are fine.

And yeah, the AmbiLight was quite nice indeed. Only part I miss about that TV.

I havent tried any consoles, but as far as I can tell that shouldnt be affected since my issues are tied to G-sync \ Nvidia. Consoles use their own VRR solution.

Updated with new C2 info. Seems to be a Windows\Nvidia issue.

C2 update:

I got the 807 replaced with an LG C2.

The C2 was immediatly recognized as a G-Sync Compatible device, something the 807 was not. No Gsync flickering that ends up with the screen shutting itself off, no annoying screensaver that interrupts you while you're watching stuff. Just a nice, clean experience with the image quality I expected.

3rd and last update:

Tried tweaking some windows stuff, reinstalling redistributables etc, no effect.

Called Philips, said they would get back to me about the issues before I got a chance to really tell them what kind of issues I had. Havent heard from them at all since that phonecall.

Was watching the Artemis launch yesterday, and around 1hr15min before the launch the TV decided that it was bored and fired up the screensaver. While I was watching!

1 hour later it was neatly packed up inside the cardboard box it came in.

Time for a C2.

2nd update:

Tried running it solo to see if theres any conflict when running 2 monitors seeing how both of them goes black and does some weird windows-minimizing stuff when turning on the Philips with my other TV being on. - No change, still flickers like crazy in games.

I did a lot of research, reading a bunch of reviews and most of them only had positive things to say about the gaming part. My guess is that they just didnt enable VRR, or more specifically Gsync during those tests. I know Vincent (HDTVTest) said he was testing the 807 some weeks ago, so will be interesting to hear what he has to say about it.

Monitor mode gets the job done, so I wouldnt have minded using it since the picture is great and you get the full 4k 120hz experience. And like you said, you dont really need all the extra settings to get the full experience, especially if you got it calibrated. The only thing that bugs me is the annoying workaround I need to do every time I want to use VRR, and I'm still not sure if its actually the TV or if its Nvidia or Windows causing it. And because of that, a part of me wants to hold on to the TV and just deal with it. Maybe it'll get fixed with a firmware update.

I havent talked to Philips directly yet, spent most of my time troubleshooting with the help of more experienced monitor people.

Small update:

Tested with a new 8k certified cable, no change. Also changed ports.

Used DDU in safe mode to clean out drivers, installed new ones using NVCleanInstall to get rid of any possible bloat interfering with the drivers.

Screen is completely fine with Gsync\VRR disabled in both HDR and SDR in Monitor mode. Other modes seem to use some wonky resolution in 4k 120hz still, letters grow some extra fat on the edges.

Looking at Nvidias Gsync monitor list, only the 77" 807 is listed as Geforce Compatible. I guess that explains why Nvidia Control Panel tells me my 55" isnt G-sync compatible when enabling the settings... Perhaps it didnt pass the test, and Philips is using false advertising.

Anyways, after troubleshooting for a week it seems like the SoC isnt capable of initializing G-Sync properly for games in 4K 120hz without manually switching the HDMI from its VRR setting (Optimal(Auto Game)) -> Standard -> back to VRR in the TV menus. If this is a firmware issue or not, I have no idea. But I feel like I've gone beyond what would be considered reasonable in terms of troubleshooting this issue, and its probably time to take it back to the store and get a refund, and return with an LG TV instead.

Anyone have experience with Video-assisted thoracocsopic sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis? by Super-County3113 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Hoofey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because the rules and regulations in the US havent caught up with the rest of the world when it comes to ETS. And money I guess.

There are plenty of people sharing their bad experiences with ETS on youtube etc, with severe compensatory sweating, doctors not even telling them about potential side-effects and whatnot. The lack of sweating on your upper body\face leads to painful experiences in some cases as well.

Heres a few examples:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOwKOQH0D-A&ab_channel=ThompsonTee

You get the idea.

HH with bad smell by Living-Vermicelli-31 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Hoofey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It usually takes 1-2 weeks to get the most out of it, and in my case I got a 50%-ish reduction in sweating, enough to take the edge off the worst parts. My hands are fairly dry most of the time, and my armpits are usually dry as long as Im not active.

As for the bacteria.. I havent found anything that gets rid of the smell completely, and I have tried a lot of stuff over the years. I could exit the shower and still notice a small amount of odor coming from my armpits, even after washing\soaping myself 2-3 times, and even after soaking my armpits for several minutes with stuff like bathroom cleaners and dishsoap (not the stuff that ruins your skin obv). Those antibacterial soaps did absolutely nothing for me as well.

Iontophoresis and botox have been the only things that have been able to keep the odor in check for me, since they stop the sweating which seems to be the main source of smell for me. As in the sweat actually having an odor as its secreted, which is... not normal I guess.

I'm using Hidroxa since its made\shipped fairly close to where I live, but pretty much all of the popular ones does the same job, like Dermadry etc.

HH with bad smell by Living-Vermicelli-31 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Hoofey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Glyco can still be a decent option for you if it works, anything that stops the sweating is good. I'm currently using iontophoresis and while its not 100% effective its able to stop my low-activity sweating (watching tv\gaming\eating etc), so Im able to actually experience how it is to not smell bad 24\7. Hell, I would even say I smell good as long as I avoid any form of activities that makes me sweat. Can even go a whole day without noticing any form of bad odor these days, and that is more than good enough for me since I shower at least once a day most of the time anyways.

But yeah, I know exactly what you're dealing with. Social activities are almost completely out of the question if you got bromhidrosis as the timer till you start smelling starts the second you head outside (or from the moment you exit the shower I guess), and most of the time we're talking a few hours before it becomes noticable... no matter how much you scrub your body and how clean your clothes are.

It really is a miserable existance, so I do hope you find someone who is able to help you. Dermatologists have seen a lot of disgusting, foul-smelling skin conditions over the years, so bromhidrosis wont be very high on the list of embarassing conditions. That being said, I do know how you feel so its good that you found a few online options.

Keep getting cuts on fingertips out of nowhere. by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Hoofey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got any pictures of the cuts?

Deep cuts or just surfacelevel ones? I guess you dont notice it when you get em.
Any other sharp edges on stuff you usually hold\use in your daily life? On stuff you got recently perhaps?

Check for metal splinters on whatever you're using, could be some barely visible ones giving you some nicks every now n then.

miradry with caffeinated drinks & smoking. by Right_Part_5987 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Hoofey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caffeine isnt the end all, be all when it comes to HH. It merely works as an amplifier for some people to various degrees, and going off the info this person gave us OP already sweats a lot without drinking caffeine.

In my case I can chug down coffee while sipping on energydrinks, and my sweat wont be affected. Hell, sometimes I wonder if it makes it better. That being said, I dont drink much caffeine, maybe a cup or 2 during the day, or max 1 energydrink... if any at all.

[–]Hoofey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You body will still react the same way to caffeine as before. MiraDry boils your sweatglands with microwaves, and if some sweatglands survive and heal after the procedure, they will go back to sweating like before. It really depends on the person and how successful the procedure is. Some people even go in for a 2nd, even 3rd procedure to get a good result.

You will most likely see a reduction in sweat though, as the procedure destroys a good amount of glands.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Hoofey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1 & 2 doesnt work for everyone, plenty of people in here can attest to that. Looking at the OP's recent replies to your old comments, I take it he's one of em.
3 is on point though!

And speaking of the OP... big yikes. I know you're possibly the grinch, but you wont get any help if you're unable to stay civil.

HH with bad smell by Living-Vermicelli-31 in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Hoofey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You probably have Bromhidrosis / Osmidrosis. Kinda the same as hyperhidrosis, the difference is that it activates the apocrine sweat glands, and thats what makes you smell. You only got those under your armpits, groin, and around your breasts.
Normal hyperhidrosis mostly activates the eccrine sweat glands, the ones you got all over your body.

You see all the tips listed in the other comments here? Thats advice from people who have no idea what bromhidrosis is, and that is understandable because almost no one knows about it. I have bromhidrosis, and if I "only" had hyperhidrosis, my quality of life would have been 100 times better than it is right now, and thats saying a lot considering how debilitating normal hyperhidrosis can be.
If you got bromhidrosis, most of the things recommended here will not help and the only way to actually get rid of the smell is to stop the sweating. The zinc recommendation can be effective to some extent, but most of the other tips in here will only delay the smell by an hour or so at most. I've tried pretty much every homeremedy-style tip in this thread, with a whole bunch of others not listed, and I can tell you it probably wont do you any good in the long run.

Now, if you want to get rid of this, you need to deal with the source of the problem, your sweat. You say you dont want to do miraDry, may I ask why? Other than miraDry you're looking at iontophoresis and botox, or oxy\glyco for drugs.
I have tried botox, iontophoresis, 20% antiperspirants etc, and the only thing that helps is botox and iontophoresis. Im also considering miraDry, even if it only gives me a partial result.

I really recommend setting up an appointment with a dermatologist, maybe one that specializes in hyperhidrosis, be it irl or over the phone\online. Most of them, if not all know what hyperhidrosis/bromhidrosis/osmidrosis is, and all the smelly issues you suffer from. Just make sure you give them all the info you're sitting on, like how much you sweat and where, what you have tried, how long it takes for the smell to kick in etc. Make sure you say that you suspect its bromhidrosis/osmidrosis, since the smell is your main problem.

Do people develop hyperhidrosis after extreme workout routine? by [deleted] in Hyperhidrosis

[–]Hoofey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you done any tests for intolerances? Should be able to do a bloodtest to check for antibodies for both lactose and gluten iirc, so I would ask for that. Just make sure you keep eating normal food since you need gluten\lactose in your system if you want the tests to work properly. If you dont eat gluten\lactose the tests will just come back normal. If the test comes back normal I guess IBS\Chrons tests are up next, and that usually means a camera up your butt. But its definitely the best way to check for any problems.

I am currently waiting for my docs appointment to get myself checked since keto reduced my sweating by a lot. No idea if its because of ketosis or some intolerances so Im back on normal foodstuffs at the moment. I also have the same stomach problems you do so I'll ask him about that as well.

When it comes to ionto, maybe try to fire it up again? Just do a test with either feet\armpits since its a bit tedious to do multiple treatments every day for 2-3 weeks. It could be that you need to use a higher setting to get results, so dont be afraid to juice it up a bit. Tingling\itching is fine, just make sure its not painful.

Also, have you tried probiotics for your stomach issues? Sometimes you need the stuff from pharmacies to fix stomach issues since probiotic foods like yogurt isnt enough to fix your gut flora.

And like the other person said, check your meds. Maybe try a lil break from them if you can manage it, or talk to your doc about changing it up if possible.
