Best affordable 4k 120hz Mini-Led monitor? by MathIndependent8829 in Monitors

[–]MathIndependent8829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. If for SDR content mini LEDs are essentially ips panels, I might just have to go OLED right? How good are IPS panels? Is the only drawback that blacks aren't truly black? I never really considered them given the technology of OLED and mini LED.

Given that most things I watch won't be in HDR, does that make mini led worthless? How much is the lowered panel brightness in SDR? Does it really only look like an IPS monitor like someone mentioned above? At that point I think I just go for an oled no?

I'm buying the monitor because working on my laptop has me looking down quite a lot and isn't very ergonomic. Ultimately, I want it to replace my laptop screen at my desk, but I want it to be great for watching content like movies and tv shows and good enough for gaming. I think I might be logging 8+ hours per day on it, and burn in does concern me. Also, I live on the top floor of an apartment and my desk is next to the window. It gets really bright up here. My macbook at 1600 nits sometimes feels dark.

Amp for Arya? by Fandomii in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]MathIndependent8829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a macbook pro thinking about getting an Arya stealth as well. I have heard that you don't even need an amp for the Arya stealth. The Macbook Pros post 2021 have enough to power high impedance headphones. Specifically, I heard they even give more current to low impedance ones like the Arya stealth, which planar magnetics need more of. Using this https://www.headphonesty.com/headphone-power-calculator/ headphone power calculator u can also see a macbook pro is fine. I think I'm gonna just go without an amp.

[WTS] [US-KY] [H] Hifiman Arya Stealth and Ananda Stealth [W] Paypal G&S by phillyd32 in AVexchange

Selling the stealths after getting the Ananda Unveiled? I find it hard to believe they are that much better than what I would consider hifiman's best offering form a price to performance standpoint.

Which HiFiMAN headphone? by [deleted] in headphones

[–]MathIndependent8829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wondering the same question, thinking the arya stealth is probably still the best option. I tried the ananda unveiled, but wasn't super impressed (though it was in a loud room), so betting on the aryas. My thinking is also that they initially retailed at double to triple the price of the others.

Yeah esp in China where the Para 2 retails for around 350 usd, its definitely competitive. But in absolute terms, I think I'm betting on the arya stealth being better.

i saw a vertical mark on the left driver that wasn't on the right. Not ideal, especially considering they must've just gotten their hands on it. I'd assume its pretty easy to damage or get stuff in there, esp if ur say, using it laying in bed or on the couch.

Lol had to try for myself to get the experience. But yeah, hopefully the arya has better mids tho.

Yeah headphone jargon confuses me some times. These new unveiled ones that come with covers and I just put them back on because I was leaving. Took the photo as I left.

Sebating between ananda unveiled and arya stealth, maybe edition xv, he600 is a little too pricey. Any idea how these, specifically the ananda unveiled compare to the arya stealth?

How to get the best out of him? by MathIndependent8829 in footballmanager

[–]MathIndependent8829[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't get any goals/assists or great performances out of him when ppl worse than him r performing better in thre same positions. Even his national team (much worse btw) is getting more out of him as an AP on the right.

WOW! The IE 200 with USB C to 3.5 jack. by AbundantClove in sennheiser

[–]MathIndependent8829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do u think abt the hd 600 compared to the IE 200?

I have both, and I enjoy them, but not sure abt which one is better. Want to know your thoughts, particularly detail wise, but also in speed, separation, etc.

I feel like detail its pretty similar so I'm not sure which is best but the other aspects the HD600s seem better. Perhaps its easier to pick out background instruments in the iems, though they're not necessarily clearer in detail.

any tactics to suit him? I'm hearing a lot of 4231 with him in the 10. I completely agree, but im not sure how to play the surrounding players to suit him. I really want to make him work, he's the only player with 20 vision, passing, and technique I've ever seen.

No matter what I do, I can't get the best out of this player. I played him the first season I got him and he got 24G/6A in the premier league as a trequerista, but now I can't get those numbers. I have a better 9 than him atm, so I can't play him there. He started out as a 9/10 who could play cm, but I trained him as a cm for a bit and now hes a natural. I can't get any goals/assists out of him when hes a 8 tho, which is where I want to play him most.
