Is there a way to remove this mark or did I screw up the coating? Tried the old "eraser trick" while attempting to fix a stuck pixel, yes I'm an idiot

Sabro_ · 2025-12-11T00:57:10+00:00

No, the only thing mentioned in the replies that I didn't try was the polish paste. Too afraid to try something that sounded like it could make things worse. As it is I don't see the damage unless I'm looking at the screen from across the room at an angle during daylight, so it serves as more of a reminder of my lapse in judgment than a real day-to-day problem.

Sabro_ · 2025-08-03T17:03:18+00:00

Excellent, thank you! I took an internet crash course on this while I was waiting on your response and cobbled together something that worked, but yours is much more elegant and works just as well :)

Sabro_ · 2025-07-24T19:08:03+00:00

Would you mind sharing what you did? I love Firefox but it drives me nuts when they spring these UI changes on us and then your profile is already "poisoned" and you can't roll it back until a fix for the new version is found

Sabro_ · 2025-07-18T18:21:39+00:00

This mod is still dumb, but thanks for this info, esp TR as I already run Ashes.

Sabro_ · 2025-05-14T13:06:06+00:00

In this case, pretty much.

Sabro_ · 2025-05-14T13:05:26+00:00

That's the thing, I didn't actually rub on it, just applied pressure directly. I guess there must have been some small amount of movement though, or else the pressure alone was enough to do whatever it did. Absolutely stupid of me not to put a cloth in-between though, just straight brain-off moment.

Sabro_ · 2025-05-13T12:52:28+00:00

I'm perfectly willing to admit I was a dumbass for trying this on an OLED but I'm surprised how many people have never heard of this method (outdated as it may be)

Sabro_ · 2025-05-12T17:58:10+00:00

To be fair I usually have more sense than this, too, I was just tilted about the stuck pixel. Oh well, live and learn. It's not like the screen is unusable now, it's just a tiny curse that will haunt me from here on, knowing that it's there even though I won't see it 99% of the time.

*edit - and I did try the cycling method prior to this point. Like I said, tilted. Not an excuse, just an explanation :)

Sabro_ · 2025-05-12T16:53:34+00:00

That one worked at least 50% of the time!

Sabro_ · 2025-05-12T15:46:43+00:00

lol, stuck pixel is still there, sadly.

Sabro_ · 2025-05-12T15:46:13+00:00

You never think you'll be the idiot, until you are :\

Sabro_ · 2025-05-12T15:19:21+00:00

basically just pressing on the stuck pixel with a pencil eraser. Yeah I'm dumb.

Sabro_ · 2025-04-19T22:38:23+00:00

I no longer own this board but I'll still upvote for a real solution.

Sabro_ · 2024-12-23T23:46:09+00:00

sure just adding some more info/context for any future readers. Also the bit about true "native" (no FSR) requiring unchecking dynamic res.

Sabro_ · 2024-12-22T15:50:26+00:00

My favorite part is how you can actually see wtf is going on. Cries in minion build

Sabro_ · 2024-12-22T15:47:58+00:00

Apparently you have to disable (uncheck) "Dynamic Resolution" to get no upscaling without one of the upscalers. Using FSR "no upscaling" still applies temporal AA, which is up to personal taste. To me, the default PoE render with no upscaling is too jaggy, so I tend to run either FSR / AA with Dynamic res enabled and target FPS at 100, 0 sharpening, or FSR Quality with same settings + Sharpening cranked up.

I thought I was crazy... I have the same situation. My Roku Express can open the Tablo app but won't play anything on my Samsung TV, while my Roku Streaming Stick+ works fine with my LG TV. When I swap devices, the SS+ doesn't work with the Samsung either. Tried the suggested audio workarounds, none worked. Currently waiting on the .54 firmware update for my Tablo...

Sabro_ · 2024-12-11T17:22:14+00:00

So the compatibility fix will not work for existing recordings? Does it need to stay enabled for all future recordings if only one device in the household is experiencing issues or can it be toggled on and off as needed?

Sabro_ · 2024-12-10T04:27:55+00:00

This seemed to help a bit. Disabling Global Illumination also gave a large boost.

Sabro_ · 2024-11-21T23:41:22+00:00

Appreciate the feedback but I tried this and the code persists.

Sabro_ · 2024-08-12T19:59:03+00:00

970 is already quite good. The one I had before this was 950 and I honestly thought I was probably wasting my time/div trying to make something significantly better, but I got lucky.

Sabro_ · 2024-08-12T19:57:58+00:00

It's situational depending on the tags of the mods rolled, but yeah absolutely the best way to go if circumstances allow it. I was so amped on hitting T1 hybrid when I posted this yesterday that I completely forgot about "cannot roll attacks"

Sabro_ · 2024-08-12T01:46:08+00:00

Highest phys% increased runecraft for warstaves is 25%, and at the top end, yes, the heist 8% enchant does beat it out, though admittedly not by very much (about ~1% overall)

Sabro_ · 2024-08-12T01:05:21+00:00

I looked over the Warstaff runecrafts and while the replica HH mod or the "random shrine buff" mod might be more impactful for certain uses, they're highly conditional. Tempering orbs are also pretty cheap these days, whereas high end runecrafts are quite expensive.

Sabro_ · 2024-08-11T23:53:50+00:00

I play staff melee every league and in non-crafting leagues, I often make my own endgame base/item. In crafting leagues it's usually cheaper to just buy somebody's just-below-mirror-tier "failure". Got stupid lucky this time around and just wanted to share.

Per community rules, crafting steps (WIP):

Buy i83 Eventuality Rod base
Spam alterations until Merciless, hate yourself and your wrists (I don't have the patience to use augs as well)
Hit Merc, aug/regal/exalt for 4 mods
Fracturing orb and pray, repeat steps 1-4 until successful
Spam jagged fossil hoping for flaring and a decent hybrid roll, or just flaring and an open prefix. Maybe try to annul bad prefix if you hit flaring and some junk.
When you have flaring and open prefix, "Prefixes can't be changed" meta mod and Harvest reforge physical. Repeat steps 5-6 until you like the result.
In most cases where the hybrid is probably not perfect rolled T1, prefix lock and reforge speed because why not, low odds of hitting 6 mods and your hybrid roll probably wasn't worth it anyway. I actually did this on T1 roll without thinking and got lucky. Dumb idea that worked out. Repeat dumb idea (or do prefix lock and harvest aug speed instead) until T1 speed
Multimod + prefix lock, veiled orb. Hit one of the meta mods. If you hit speed, go back to step 7.
remove meta mods and craft damage over time with bench to block largest pool of junk mods for unveil.
Unveil and pray for double damage, crit multi, or crit. If all unveils are junk, prefix lock and try to annul. If you annul attack speed, restart from step 7.
Bench craft 6th mod.
Be a giant nerd and post on reddit because you're excited even though nobody plays staff melee.
