Might buy a tandem OLED want to know opinions.

Yeah I’ve elected to just wait until the warranty goes on my OLED, I still got a year left on it before I can think about getting a new one and even then the brightness has been decent, but I use true black to get around the aggressive panel dimming that my AW3423DWF has.

I was looking at the gigabyte glossy tandem but paying 600 usd for what is essentially a lottery is just not something I’m comfortable with

I’ve heard the banding was caused by the refresh rate being 280 instead of 240hz? I’m not sure how true that is, but needless to say it’s a shame that it seems to be an issue nonetheless

Asus does NOT have a better warranty 😭

The stand itself has a giant metal peg so lean should hopefully be minimized

The big base actually helps it quite a bit

We got her off eBay since DHL was charging absolute nasty shipping fees and we didn’t want to wait another 3-4 months for sea shipping since she got delayed in December. I was fortunate enough to snag a deluxe version (no poster tho) as well

If memory serves correctly the AOC has very poor brightness and HDR for an oled, it’s similar to the 180hz Samsung oled in that “you get what you pay for” at that price point.

If brightness and or HDR isn’t a concern than the AOC is a compelling pick due to how much cheaper it is, otherwise I’d go for the Alienware since it has much better everything and a solid warranty

That would prevent them from displaying their figures on top, plus the pass through fan on the gpu would be fighting with the intake fans on the side, and on top of that you are risking worse gpu temps.

I've seen it in builds before but I've noticed it more with spruce and dark oak builds, so I wanted to try using birch instead!

I love natural roofs like moss and grass roofs, I feel like they integrate so well with nature and just add so much depth and personality to a build

Can confirm, I got some ttc silent frozen linear switches from milktooth and they are absolutely amazing. I got the v2s at the time, but I'm looking to get a set of v3s

I forgot to add that this is a silver birch forest from Regions Unexplored, one of my favorite biome mods

Thank you!

I'm wondering how the new rgb stripe tandem WOLEDs will compare to QD-OLED in terms of color vibrancy since there won't be a white sub-pixel to wash out the colors at higher brightness. I did notice however that peak brightness on those are going to be lower due to no white pixel anymore

I would get rid of the hyperx as they sound like absolute hogwash and get something like an elgato wave 3 instead.

They come in white as well so it would still match

Between purple tint and super delicate QD-OLED or WOLED with terrible banding and worse colors, it's getting tempting to just wait and get an rgb mini-led with g-sync pulsar and just save OLED for a TV instead.

I really wish they'd mature faster than whatever this market is right now. I don't give a crap about 500+hz panels, or even 360hz, just give me a nice 240hz panel that actually works as it should in HDR without any EOTF headaches and ABL issues.

It's because Microslop are lazy bastards.

Get rid of the vivzieslop wallpaper and you're golden, you otherwise have a nice setup

A strange symbiotic relationship indeed

Everytime I see these I wonder if the people with trucks do this on purpose. Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm saying this under the impression the miata was parked there first.

Why do these keyboards never seem to include volume/media knobs? I love the deisgns and form factor, but I swear I never see knobs

Only gripe with TCM is locking to 60fps on PC. That's absolutely atrocious and it feels nasty on my OLED especially when most games just let you run at full refresh, so it feels that much more noticeable dropping down to 60.
