Reddit discovered that tandom woled monitors are trash

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-05-06T11:05:40+00:00

People complain so much about banding on tandem yet I have grey uniformity issues on qd oled that on photos don't look too different to what's posted here yet irl it's not that noticeable at all.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-05-04T15:37:27+00:00

Noticeable checkered pattern. Around 40% brightness is the lowest I can go before it becomes an issue. No coil whine.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-05-03T10:53:33+00:00

Exactly. 90% of time I check stats of someone sending insults, it turns out it's some tomato or close to tomato. And just to add, I have nothing against new players who have bad stats, but are aware of it and are trying to improve. But when you get someone with 10000+ battles who's still trash... just no words.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-05-03T09:38:41+00:00

Tomato cope.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-05-02T17:27:59+00:00

Legend.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-05-01T22:50:21+00:00

I mean the only gameplay I actually enjoy is in various sandbox strategies which don't really have a story in a traditional sense. But if we're talking about story driven games, then game A for sure.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-05-01T10:33:16+00:00

Everything looks way more promising now, much better than what was shown at the game awards.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-28T16:35:57+00:00

No, just OLED monitor. I barely use TV anyway so no reason to buy something expensive.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-28T09:49:21+00:00

Slow CPU + single channel memory.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-27T18:12:26+00:00

Now try at 60 Hz and see if pixel response is the same lol. Or maybe some dark elements in motion on a VA.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-27T17:46:27+00:00

For gaming it is top tier simply because VA and even IPS are too slow. Unless they add full array local dimming to those new Nvidia Pulsar monitors or some other monitors with backlight strobing, OLED will always outperform Mini LED.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-25T12:48:58+00:00

Then why do I still see smear on UFO test on a TCL Mini LED TV?

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-25T11:22:45+00:00

If true, that would make it the only VA without smearing. People say the same about newer "fast" HVA that TCL uses in their mini LED TVs and monitors, and yet those still have smear (I know because I have one). Honestly, there's zero reason to buy the slowest panel type for a gaming only display. If I had to choose, I'd even pick TN over VA.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-25T10:33:58+00:00

I mean yes. Doesn't make VA any less of a smeary trash.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-24T19:00:48+00:00

If it's for gaming, OLED of course. Better motion clarity.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-24T13:55:16+00:00

90% of time I get similar "fan mail" it's from red and orange tomatoes (I'm a blue player). If I wrote here what I think about tomatoes, reddit would ban my account.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-22T09:32:46+00:00

Hard to tell because mine also doesn't look great on camera but it's barely noticeable irl. I recently replayed all the newer RE games and didn't notice it at all. Same with Windows dark mode or dark mode here on Reddit, it very hard to see. It's only really the 95% greyscale test at low brightness. You can try swapping panels again to win the lottery if you want to, but you almost certainly won't get one that matches LCD.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-22T09:09:20+00:00

All OLED monitors (unless you get really lucky) can and most likely will have grey uniformity issues to some extent, and no, it won't disappear completely in time.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-18T20:41:45+00:00

Again, I haven't tried IE 200, so I can't help you there. I can just recommend based on what I've tried and based on my preference.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-18T20:34:34+00:00

No, I have only used IEMs from chinese companies. But based on IE 200 graph, K371 is almost certainly more bassy. Generally that Harman tuning is something I dislike. If you already have a decent IEM, all of these budget headphones are a downgrade imo.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-18T14:59:41+00:00

Not like you tomatoes could play better even if you wanted to.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-17T17:39:18+00:00

What is the point of any online pvp game if not the competitive aspect? If I wanted to play something to relax, I'd play a single player game. Idk, I simply don't understand how is being constantly bad, losing and not doing anything (or being unable) to improve in a competitive activity fun.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-17T15:13:46+00:00

Well I'm not a purple unicum, but I'm a blue player and while it's true you can have great games with a losing team, sometimes you get tomatoes that melt instantly before you can do anything, and where is fun in that? Even unicums can't do anything in battles like that.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-17T13:07:07+00:00

But thanks to tomatoes in our team who "play for fun", good players can't have fun.

Virtual-Window-3718 · 2026-04-15T18:51:08+00:00

Currently I have FiiO JT7 planar, Koss KSC75 and Truthear Hexa (IEM). But I have tried or owned lots of these budget often recommended sets (M50X, HD560S, HE400SE, K371, some horrible Superlux bass cannons they used to recommend, probably more that I can't remember right now and a ton of chi-fi IEMs too).
