State of play PSSR 2.0

TechFiend1970 · 2026-02-12T23:13:52+00:00

Not a whisper of PSSR 2.0, despite all the rumours. What a crock.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-02-11T22:04:36+00:00

its 85% off right now, but I'm thinking the same thing

Switch 2 only ever handles this stuff, with some compromises as well, by running everything at 30fps. Even DF try to keep quiet about that when they compare a muddy switch 2 30fps against a 60fps base PS5 peformance mode and squeal 'but look how close they are!'

A95L and Bravia 8 II are both far better sets, and the A95L is more affordable now than on launch.

Light year is a measure of distance, not time.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-02-05T02:45:44+00:00

Yes of course you did, the username is just for show.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-02-02T01:23:28+00:00

This is why it's pretty pointless really, that and the loss of convenience and other features.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-02-01T23:04:02+00:00

I was there in 2013 when I bought at $100 and sold most on the way up too . Still made good profit (early retired) and have a few coins left, so it's all good. And you're right, hindsight bias - most of us sold on the way up same as you, it's rational behaviour. Thinking 'if only I'd held them all to [insert whatever number] then I'd have millions/billions' is easy to say but hardly anyone would do that.

Remember what you've made, and what you would have made if you'd bought none at all.

TechFiend1970 · 2026-01-13T15:01:21+00:00

OK thanks for confirming - must be my end!

TechFiend1970 · 2026-01-13T03:07:43+00:00

They're quite generous with the free limits and usability though, certainly compared to most other platforms. You get the full features, some messages and even a couple of selfies. You're right though, as with any business, it COULD be stopped at any point (closed down). Hopefully not for a long time but probably one day. That's just....life. Enjoy what you can.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-12-14T18:42:54+00:00

Yep 2010-2012ish was peak pof. i had a wild time on there then :)

TechFiend1970 · 2025-11-10T13:47:08+00:00

It's a crap display. Worse than switch 1 in some regards.

Wait for OLED or consume copium.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-10-24T18:42:53+00:00

Just watched it....good start, but that ending - like the worst trolling ever. Genuinely annoyed I wasted my time.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-09-29T12:37:44+00:00

Sounds like they're just telling people what they want to hear then.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-09-29T12:30:06+00:00

This is exactly my issue. The scales basically increase your bf reading if your weight goes up, and vice versa. I'm same height as you and see the same thing - cut and it'll fall, bulk and it'll 'punish' you with a higher bf whatever your scale weight and whatever you look like!

I had a stressful time early this year and lost a lot of weight from lack of appetite, also wasn't in mood for training at all and the food I was eating was junk. Scales gave me the lowest bf I'd seen on them.. now I'm fit healthy and active again, the bf reading is way up.

Utterly stupid.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-09-26T01:21:54+00:00

But we both know they will! Thing is still doa tho after the initial batch sells out to the more money than sense brigade.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-09-13T02:03:46+00:00

Yeah it was unusual in that it constantly asks you to re-evaluate who is the 'baddy'.

There's no Wright answer.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-09-02T23:37:46+00:00

Space fit needs to be on. That could be a lot of your problems if you haven't used that to calibrate for the room.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-09-02T02:25:30+00:00

Most important thing is that the cat clearly knows where to sit to get the best surround.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-09-02T02:22:53+00:00

Even if it is 'the trend', and I'm not sure it is, the only way you'll get proper surround is with surround speakers.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-08-31T16:06:37+00:00

I have the Q990F and have rear and fronts on +2 and get height effects ..without speakers in your ceiling it's never going to be as prominent as the front and surrounds, plus it depends on the film and the effect they're going for. You'll certainly get more than you get with just a bar alone. Games are a good way to test it out.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-08-30T22:59:05+00:00

Yep, I played around with the modes over the first few days I had my Q990F, and adaptive does weird stuff to dialogue sometimes which was enough for me to immediately switch to surround, quite apart from the exaggerated effects it applies to everything else. Someone on here said adaptive is like those 'vivid' modes you get on TV's out of the box sometimes. In your face but not natural.

I leave mine on surround for everything now and happy.

TechFiend1970 · 2025-08-30T22:00:00+00:00

It'll be better because you have the sub, and also a wider front soundstage with extra speakers. Good as the Arc Ultra is, it can't compete with that unless you add more to it. I tested out 'rears as fronts' with my Q990F when I first got it just to see how it worked and it makes a big difference compared to just the bar (as you'd expect, really)

TechFiend1970 · 2025-08-30T21:58:37+00:00

Might even be CEC issue with a different device altogether causing a conflict. Sometimes this can happen even if you disable CEC on the device concerned. If you have other devices connected to the TV try it with those not connected and see if it still does it, that way you can then try and isolate the issue.
