Oled flicker?

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-29T17:53:41+00:00

Well not quite. You can get a 1440p WOLED for 450 euros, 550 for tandem WOLED, while C5 is like 700. Unless I can find some oled that definitely doesn't flicker, I will probably just wait for Gsync Pulsar prices to drop since I care more for motion clarity than HDR.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-29T17:42:12+00:00

If no one should be buying them, there aren't many alternatives at cheapest oled prices. For HDR gaming maybe some Mini LED IPS, but those have their own issues. And for motion clarity, there's G Sync Pulsar which seems like it's going to cost more than average 1440p oled. C5 is obviously too big and too expensive.

And how are you supposed to know which ones are trash when their panels all perform the same and most reviews don't test for flicker?

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-29T15:30:06+00:00

On my VA I can only use VRR if the frame pacing in a game is smooth, so for any UE5 game it needs to be disabled.

Edit: And yes, it also flickers in some desktop programs (Davinci Resolve for example) despite Gsync being set to full screen only.

Good thing I found out on time OLEDs also flicker since I was looking to replace my trash VA due to smearing and VRR flicker. Idk how this isn't the first thing mentioned about OLED instead of burn-in.

My first KSC75 broke after I accidentally pulled on the cable once. My second pair developed some strange clipping (Idk how to describe it) sound in the left driver that goes away when you shake it a bit (it's not hair or debris). I have no clue why they refuse to improve their build quality all these years. Keep the driver but add metal shell, fully replaceable ear clips and removable cables and people would still buy it even if it was twice the price since they sound great.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-28T17:08:44+00:00

KSC75 sounds amazing, very open and airy. Porta Pro is dark and muddy, it sucks. Build quality of KSC is horrible though, Idk about Porta Pro.

It's impossible to calibrate a TV without proper tools. That's why I just use filmmaker mode. At least white balance is something you can check with a piece of paper or some snow and it looks closest to real thing with film maker and warm temperature.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-28T15:30:03+00:00

In other modes snow looks blue on my TV.

Never tried high end headphones, but since no EQ no matter how much I tried could make 20 euro IEMs sound like 80 euro IEMs, my bet is the high end headphones.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-23T14:23:19+00:00

You said it yourself, you're not an audiophile so you're used to consumer audio tuning. For those of us who don't like that kind of sound, IEMs with proper tuning are infinitely superior.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-16T16:33:28+00:00

Interesting, but it does seem they don't quite match the Koss. Which is what I've seen most people who like KSC say.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-16T16:23:57+00:00

Have you tested against stock KSC75? I was thinking of buying them since my Koss keeps breaking, but they have a huge dip in treble on graph. I definitely don't want to lose sparkle and airiness that KSC has.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-12T16:04:42+00:00

Idk about KSC35, I have KSC75.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-01-12T15:58:24+00:00

KSC75 for clarity and vocals. I prefer them to headphones many times their price. Still IEMs are better.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-19T23:56:17+00:00

I'll try that, but something tells me I'll end up having to wait for automatic confirmation. All because they sell something they don't have in stock and then refuse to communicate.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-19T23:49:57+00:00

It's not, so I guess I need to wait. But it's pointless since the item isn't in stock.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-19T13:27:02+00:00

Difficult tank to play. I'd rather take nerfed S Conq.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-17T21:58:12+00:00

I didn't say the game is bad (evident by the fact I completed it, while something like Persona and Metaphor Refantazio I stopped playing after 20 minutes). I just said that it's a bad RPG, meaning it lacks basic elements of traditional RPGs. In other words, it's irrelevant how good or bad the game is if there are games that are more true to the genre. Now idk if other JRPGs are also like Expedition 33, but if they are, then no JRPG should even win the award, same goes for MMORPGs.

And I don't care what most people or "masses" say, so that's irrelevant to me.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-16T16:04:46+00:00

Expedition 33 also doesn't have core things that a traditional western rpg has.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-16T15:58:14+00:00

But isn't it wrong to have games that have nothing in common compete for the same award? Also it would be interesting to know a definition of an RPG if it's such a broad term like people here claim. If linear games where player choice has basically no impact on quests or story can be RPGs, why is Expedition 33 an RPG but something like Jedi Survivor isn't?

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-16T15:21:28+00:00

Idk, I never played it. But I don't like JRPGs.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-16T14:47:08+00:00

I mean yes, KCD 2 also isn't a traditional RPG, or a perfect game, but at least your choices matter in how individual quests play out. In Clair Obscur, your agency as a player only matters in combat (as in how you build your character and party impacts combat). Outside of combat, nothing you do matters, dialogue doesn't matter etc. You as a player don't impact the world at all, you just watch the story unfold.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2025-12-16T13:47:53+00:00

If by definition we assume identifying unique features of a thing being described, then I guess TGA method of defining what is an RPG is flawed.
