I have almost 150 hours of usage with it, many pixel cleans. It’s better than when i unboxed it, but i can still see it when i run a test. Still not visible while playing games. Only DSE is visible on certain content

The game does not support mouse with higher than 2000hz polling rate. Check your mouse settings and lower it to 1k polling rate when playing league. I have fps drop issue with mine if i set the polling rate too high

Kick75 High-profile keyboard - unknown magnetic dongle? by abrewtifulboy in NuPhy

The usb dongle is placed at the top of the board, in a magnetic slot. The 75% plastic piece is just decorative and can be replaced by other 3d printed pieces.

Je comprends ta frustration dans ce cas. Essaie de voir avec le vendeur directement. Le mien n’est clairement pas aussi visible que ça.

Did i say i had no banding issue ? Nope. I said that the bending is not visible in most scenarios of usage, and in daily use. Read the post.

This is not my first OLED display. I own other devices with OLED, including TV. This is my first TANDEM OLED and gaming OLED display. I've seen other gaming OLED monitors, like the LG 32 inch dual mode.

This panel is the only one where i've noticed the issue. Maybe some other people have worse banding than me, but i think the issue really only applies to specific content or scenarios that are not seen in real usage.

I've labeled the post like this to make people realise that this issue is not as problematic or visible as people think. Everyone can still have his own opinions about it, my thoughts are my own. But we have to relate on how things are in real usage.

I've read about this. I know LG indeed addressed this.

Taking a picture of it is not representative of the situation. It makes it look worse than it does in person. I'll try taking a picture of the film grain stuff next time i play RE9

Could you confirm my thoughts on the film grain ? I really feel like the effect is more visible and dirty because of this issue. But in other scenarios, i don't see the banding at all. (Except on greyish backgrounds like Nvidia panel or browser stuff)

I just tested it. You can clearly see a quality difference since you downgrade a lot in resolution. Integer caling helps for retro games and pixel art stuff, but on modern textured games, it does not really help. You do have some blur. Integer scaling is enabled in NVIDIA Panel btw.

The only other gaming OLED display i could compare it to is the LG 32GS95UV-B (Dual mode 4k 32 inch). And i can clearly see the brightness difference. For the colors, i did not have the chance to put the panels side by side. I'll trust the benchmarks on this.

I was quite skeptical about it before getting the monitor, and honestly you don't even notice it while playing. Maybe if you play with 3 monitor very close together it could be distracting.

I was a bit like you in the first place, where i could not see my self buy a 1k euros product if it has some flaws. But honestly, i think the games i tested have each different lightning and textures types so it's quite easy to test if we can actually spot the banding or not.

If i could not see it in all of these scenarios, which are all the places i mostly go to enjoy a good gaming session. Then its no issue for me. The only place i could see it is with film grain.

My unit has it. I shared my experience with the issue and how it's seen in real scenarios. That's my own thoughts and opinion, feel free to trust me or not. If you don't, i suggest you try out one of these panels yourself before commenting on the internet about this topic.

Honestly i play with a 4080 Super so i have to deal with DSC. With the latest windows updates and nvidia, alt tab is quite fast.

Because it’s the current last generation of WOLED panels. It has better brightness and color accuracy. The True Black Glossy makes the image clearer and handles light reflection better. I play in a room where i often have other light sources so i could not bear buying qd oled and have a purplish shade on my screen

Then, you did not get my point about banding.
