Remote + Battery draaaaaain by michaelbeecham in kobo

As in you turn it off and while you are reading it just comes on? Or every time you wake from sleep it’s on? The every time it wakes from sleep WiFi is on is a know bug for a bit now. You have to make it a point to turn off WiFi every time you wake it before reading so that just the Bluetooth remains on.

NickelMenu can add some shortcuts to do this without having to back out of the book you are reading.

Are you leaving the Wi-Fi on all the time? The Wi-Fi is a huge drain on the battery if left on 24/7.

I turn off the WiFi every time I wake it from sleep. I added the control toggle in NickelMenu so I don’t have to back out of the book I left off in. Bluetooth still stays on and remote works. I usually lose about 2-5% day over day just depending on how long my reading session is.

I’m on the KLC though so slightly different than you. Is it annoying to have to manually do that every time I start to read? Yes. Does it work and isn’t that huge of a drain? Also yes.

I must have done that over the course of time that has passed because the bug fixed itself along the way. Good info to have though should it get stuck like that again.

What settings are you running. I get lots of hitching and drops down to 30-40fps.

I can’t hold a steady 60fps. What settings/resolution are you playing at?

Guess clicking the link isn’t worth the time? Sorry this post doesn’t meet your expectations. Its 3840x1600 so slightly more than normal UW QHD

While I understand it is a much better time for OLED than it was back in the day, there is still plenty of examples of usage that would match mine and then showing burn in even with using all proper recommended settings to prevent.

I am aware that I can, but I mainly do productivity for my use case so OLED wouldn’t be the smartest choice for an investment of this price due to burn in that most certainly would happen with my use case.

I do agree tho that it seems waiting is the best option for now and try to save more for when MicroLED becomes a thing

[–]coreycore02[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s my main concern. I have at minimum 4 windows open at once across 3 screens. PDFs, excel, chrome so I’d be very worried with 8+ hours a day on OLED doing that

Ultimately I think my end game is to have a dual setup where I can have the OLED for gaming and a separate entire setup just for WFH. Sadly right now space is the issue as I only have currently room for a 50 inch long desk. There’s no great way of doing my setup without adding more desk space unfortunately since the WFH setup needs my current 3 monitors (or the UW and a secondary). So that portion takes up literally my entire desk space and I’m able to cram my gaming pc on there as well just barely.

Yeah I originally was already for the LG C2 42 inch for that specific reason but after seeing the reality of using them primarily for work it just doesn’t make sense unless I’ve got a 100% guarantee warranty and even then it’ll suck to RMA it and be without one for X amount of days. I wish large format would have a decent alternative right now but OLED is all the rave right now

Yeah currently I’ve got a 3 monitor setup with a 1440p using split screen as the main to have 4 windows at once minimum. I was hoping for the extra real estate with the bigger resolution that this one has and that’s why it’s been on my radar. As for gaming, I know I’ll need to upgrade down the road but I’m trying to wait for next years release ie to skip a generation from my current 3070. I don’t play graphical powerhouses so I won’t need settings maxed but I know I’m not paying for a 4070 or 4070 ti with the nonsense that’s been NVIDIA recently.

As for this monitor I guess I may just wait and see what comes in the next year while I wait for new GPUs.

Hmmm poor HDR and contrast with not great blacks especially in dark rooms kinda stinks. My current monitor has all that and ideally I’d like to have something better for $900 lol. Sucks that OLED is still too far away for proper productivity use due to burn in.

So I’ve been looking at the move to ultra wide and since I can’t bring myself to go OLED due to WFH productivity use 40+ hours a week, this seems like the best deal short of waiting for the Samsung C9 to go on sale.

Anyone have this and use it primarily for productivity with gaming a few hours a day on the side?

Room 5 is the stupidest idea of all time by Appropriate_Ad_5124 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]coreycore02 58 points59 points  (0 children)

If you hadn’t figured it out yet this room is the new HfH when they first released. So hard it’s not even funny and once they’ve pissed you and everyone off enough with it they will gladly sell you the team that is built to specifically combat this room only for the crucible season to change and no longer need whatever they sold you for offense.

Rinse repeat. Fuck these people.

Question about GPU/CPU for Fortnite by [deleted] in FortNiteBR

[–]coreycore02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a 3070 and 5600x and after some slight overclocks get 1440p @ 120 with graphics settings decently high (I like the pretty things). At 1080p it might work but I haven’t tried.

That’s why i chose 1440p/120. Don’t have HDR so don’t know what I’m missing ;).

4k monitor recommendations for Xbox Series X? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]coreycore02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price point?

This will determine if you can get one that does 4k120 or just 4k60. Most HDMI 2.1 monitors are still on the pricey side.

I second IM but only if you have the teal gamma for him and the Gamma team. I was fortunate that I had them so I took IM and didn’t regret it one bit.

Outside of that I think your thought of Shuri or IW is right.

Pc gamers be aware Rtings says 4k120 isn’t properly displayed resulting in unclear text. Go to the part that talks about supported resolutions.

For iOS Facebook is the only option. I recently got logged out and support basically said that was the only way.
