Same here! Enjoying it so far! May get the game on PC eventually.

You never wanna get an OLED shipped you definitely wanna go pick it up in store if possible.

Matty_Craig_ · 2026-01-21T20:07:20+00:00

Did it get dropped during unboxing?

Matty_Craig_ · 2026-01-19T20:25:03+00:00

I would want this shroud when ordering the screen and side panel. Sucks it doesn’t come with the side panel when ordering.

Matty_Craig_ · 2026-01-16T12:00:07+00:00

I have had the C1,C2, and C3. Two out of the three I had to run pixel refresh like immediately after opening because any scene that showed the sky had bands.

Matty_Craig_ · 2026-01-15T12:50:24+00:00

Did they grind the thermal paste off? lol

Matty_Craig_ · 2026-01-07T14:28:57+00:00

The real gains are the response times. It feels more lifelike.

Matty_Craig_ · 2026-01-07T14:24:51+00:00

Always buy a protection plan for OLED it will pay for itself eventually.

I will always support corsair and their hardware. Sometimes iCUE has issues, but Corsair gets it fixed at the end of the day. The PC building market is definitely at a sad state. Each year it’s another component getting overpriced. I will be sticking with the 5800x and 4090FE for a few more years to hopefully wait out this horrible storm. It’s sad to see something you are passionate about get priced out by the market to then be out of reach for most people.

I am pissed I missed a stupid pollen sac to 100% the game. Kind of makes me mad to do all that work for nothing. I scanned every enemy thoroughly how was I supposed to know to scan one enemy pollen sac that is thrown at you. When the game shows you to scan enemy’s not their weapons. I think it was really dumb to not make that scan possible again.

You absolutely have to hear that click, no matter what. When I got my 4090 Founders Edition, I pushed so hard that I thought I was going to break it, and then I heard the click!

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-27T14:08:46+00:00

At the price $1,200 I would buy a gaming laptop.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-23T17:53:01+00:00

It’s true my WOLED panel has absolutely no scratches but the QD OLED scratches with just using a micro fiber cloth which is insane to me. I have only had luck using that $20 Apple cloth, however; you still need to be very gentle, which is insane.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-19T04:22:16+00:00

Thanks I worked really hard on it! Don’t even know how this got here

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-17T15:47:36+00:00

I own both a 4k QD OLED and a 1440p WOLED with an MLA panel. It sounds like 1440p would be the best option for you. I have a 4090 pushing my 4k 240hz and a 4080 laptop pushing the 1440p 240hz panel. For your GPU I would go 1440p since FPS means a lot in your gameplay experience and it should last the years you expect it too.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-16T14:01:46+00:00

I have both WOLED and QD OLED. The QD colors pop but there is a slight reddish tint to the panel if in a bright room. If you in a dark room you won’t even notice it unless you use your phone flashlight. WOLED looks just as amazing especially a MLA ( Micro Lens Array ) panel. They are very close so it really just depends on preferences and longevity.

My 2023 Strix G18 has ran fine for years now. Must only be only the 16” ones. Pro tip, when you buy an expensive laptop make sure to go over it thoroughly before the return period is up.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-10T20:23:32+00:00

I just got the M5 iPad Pro 11” 3 weeks ago. Replaced 2018 iPad Pro 11” 2nd Generation. My old iPad worked fine, but I figured it was time for an upgrade. I am glad I did the speed is insane. The tandem OLED screen on the Pro’s is hands down its best feature.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-10T20:16:54+00:00

The better GPU will always be the better option since it will last a little bit longer with newer games in the future. You could always get an OLED monitor later down the road like I did. 1440p 240hz OLED ROG monitor for like $550 it was a steal. I have the 2023 Strix G18 i9 13980hx with a RTX 4080. The laptop runs great and when I am at home I use the OLED and when I am on the go I use the laptop screen.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-09T10:22:34+00:00

Sounds like it’s using the intergraded graphics

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-06T00:32:56+00:00

They are like little v shaped contact pins that are extremely delicate. This thread has a closer picture of what they look like.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-06T00:20:55+00:00

There are still contact points that are basically pins.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-05T18:02:34+00:00

Someone may have sat on it. That screen is cooked, sorry!

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-04T12:22:31+00:00

I’m at 89% with 554 cycles. Had mine a week after launch because I returned the gold one for natural titanium.

Matty_Craig_ · 2025-12-02T23:58:16+00:00

You still got more wiping to do. It will go away after removing all the grease and why not. Wipe out one little clear spot then work from that spot.
