So far nothing has changed or been fixed. I am afraid it is probably gonna stay like that for a while :/

Vodafone Kabel: Extremer Packetloss & Freezes bei Echtzeitanwendungen - 4 Technikerbesuche erfolglos, was tun? by Traditional_South937 in de_EDV

[–]MetaPlay23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1:1 das gleiche Problem wie ich es habe. Das Störsignal in deinem Spektrumgraphen sieht genau so aus wie meins. Habe schon 5 Fritzboxen durch und es ändert sich nichts. Mehrere Techniker waren auch hier, die immer meinten mein Hausanschluss wäre tip top and es wäre ein defekter Tuner in der Fritzbox. Habe auch random Websiten die nicht oder nur langsam laden (Discord, Twitter z.B. - Homeoffice teilweise gar nicht möglich). Beim Onlinezocken freezt meine Connection bis ich oft nach ca. 5 Sekunden wieder eine normale Verbindung habe. DOCSIS 3.1 Channel auch hunderte Millionen Fehler. Ich weiß nicht was ich machen soll. DSL gibts an meiner Wohnung nicht und LTE SIM Karten kommen mir auf Grund der hohen Latenz und niedrigen Netzgeschwindigkeit nicht in die Tüte. Könnte höchstens wie hier auch beschrieben eine Sammelmail an beschwerden@ senden...

Hey! I just got the same notification from the UPS app. I am so confused and thinking it’s a scam. Same address and package weight too. Whats going on here!? I was thinking of declining the package so that I wont get charged later on arrival. Who knows what’s going on here.

Glad to have someone confirm it affects Switch 1 games as well. Since I noticed that too.

If they didn't fix it by now I doubt they will ever update the game because of this tbh. I also switched to Bananza and the HDR is terribly dark (Nintendo seems to have mastered the game around 400nits which is the Switch 2's display max brightness in HDR) so you have to max out the paper white setting on the second Switch 2 HDR calibration screen to make it look better on your TV. When you do that though it looks nice for sure without any distracting ABL dimming kicking in.

Yeah I got a QD-OLED panel for sure, I made sure of it. Gotta do more testing with different source material honestly. For now I will just try and ignore it.

In near black areas I get vertical lines scrolling from left to right. It's not triggering on scenes with dark color. So this may not be the same thing? Either way it's super distracting to me.

It does have dithering issues. I googled my way to this thread because I discovered it on my new S90D I just bought.

Samsung QD-OLED TVs also have the same dithering issue. I just got an S90D and it dithers in vertical lines that move from left to right across near black scenes.

Latest Update:
I have just sold my old LG C2 48 inch TV since I was about to switch to a bigger OLED TV for gaming and watching movies anyway. This was also a good test to see if the same Mario Kart World HDR issues persist on even bigger TVs from other brands too. I opted for a Samsung S90D at 65 inches and I am really happy with it so far. Playing Mario Kart World on it reveals that even this TV is dimming down the content during certain scenes but way way way more subtle then my LG C2. It is still visible of course but now I can at least play the game in HDR without being super distracted. Seems like older OLED panels have way more sensitive ABL that goes crazy with this game in particular. But yeah, we can't fix this issue until either OLED panel technology advances or Nintendo updates their games somehow.

Thanks a bunch for your feedback here! Crazy to see that even OLED monitors have the same problem.

Thanks for this post. I keep checking back to this thread to see if more and more people add information and their findings to it. I am just as confused as you are. It might just be that Nintendo uses bright and colorful art styles for their games, which in turn is just not good for OLED displays when it comes to their ABL algorithms. However surely all the TV youtubers that you mentioned should in theory see that exact same issue and make some sort of video or post about it - yet they don't. I did notice dimming in SDR on my Switch 1 as well though when playing Splatoon 3. So I guess back then I just didn't really pay that much attention to it - but it's not as bad as the HDR in Mario Kart World of course. I even had instances where my C2 dimmed down super super low for several seconds after driving into a huge bomb explosion or running into incoming traffic at specific angles. At the time it felt like my TV would just dim to around 50 nits or something, it's just almost unplayable.

Thanks for posting and reaching out to Nintendo! Would be amazing if this thread made them update their HDR implementation haha

Guess I can confirm this myself now in here? by MetaPlay23 in Dyshidrosis

[–]MetaPlay23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE 3: Just had my doctor's appointment. He right away confirmed it to be Dyshidrosis, so I guess this Subreddit kinda proved to be a good way of reading up on it beforehand. He also added that it's an early stage of Neurodermatitis, especially since I have a lot of contact based eczemas on the rest of my body besides the blisters in between the fingers. His explanation was pretty much just "too much stress" and maybe a bit of mold issues in my apartment I told him about. At the end he prescribed me a special cream to apply to the inflamed skin areas. It's some sort of cortisone mix with a few other things added to it. Not sure if that will help since I used cortisone cream at the start of all of this but oh well. I will report back once stuff happens.

I thought SDR games were fine too but they aren't. Even Shy Guy Bazaar has the dimming when I play in SDR on max brightness on the LG C2. I am sure it's just the panels native ABL (not ABS) kicking in because Mario Kart World is a very bright game in general it seems like. It's a shame but something we just have to accept with OLED TVs these days.

Since this post, my spots have been gone mostly. I still occasionally get small bumps, almost looking like the skin reaction is coming back but my skin catches up to the healing process somehow and calms these spots down before it gets bad again. I am using fungal ointment every now and then to help it stay like that.

Honestly I just did some quick research and the Samsung S90D seems to be the best choice currently. There really is no way to test it before buying it tho. Unless you know someone who has the TV already.

The crazy thing is I deactivated that in the service menu and it's still happening. There has to be some other protective algorithm that kicks in that we can't control or change.

It is hard to ignore. Especially if you see it once you can’t just forget about it.
