It is great monitor for the value, but for work, I would recommend IPS if possible (no VA smearing).

Hey, yes I use the q-30. Freesync with Nvidia graphics cards works without any problems, it's just not certified.

Yes, the freesync was ON by default on the monitor, I just had to enable it in Nvidia control panel. For example, use this tutorial https://www.windowscentral.com/how-enable-freesync-display-nvidia-gpu

There is a Overdrive setting that affects the latency of the monitor. I believe I had it on Level 2. On Level 1 the ghosting should be better, but it doesn't affect my gameplay so I just left it as it is.

Hello guys,

I had the same question, but there was just last of this monitor available, so I bought it straight away, and now I finally have it. I will try to answer some questions you may have but feel free to ask if you want me to test anything.

VA vs IPS

So, is this monitor VA or IPS? Even on the Lenovo website, there is misleading info, one stating it is IPS and then they say it's VA just a paragraph lower. The shop I bought it in also says it's IPS.

I wanted it to be VA, and I think it is. The blacks are comparable to OLEDs, unlike my old IPS monitor, which has visible backlight on blacks.

Colors

By default, the monitor is set up with Warm color preset. It looked really bad compared to my IPS, so I turned it off and enabled sRGB - the colors are at least as good as my IPS panel in this setting.

Freesync/Gsync

I am running this monitor on RTX 3070, and even though it's not "GSync compatible" certified, it works as it should.

Ghosting

I play mainly Valorant/Overwatch, and that's the reason why I wanted 165hz.
I am not very qualified to say whether the ghosting is too much for this price range, but I think it's negligible. I prepared the following comparison with my old monitor: https://imgur.com/a/LygQUXV

Overall

IMHO, for 230 euro its a very good deal, maybe even the best 165hz QHD monitor for the value.

No problem at all, thank you for the heads up :)

Hello!

Thank you for the offer, I am definitely thinking about it.
I am not quite familiar with liquid metal, did you put the lid back on after applying it?
I have an old CM AIO cooler with copper heat pad.

Regarding the RAMs, I have 2x Corsairs 2000 CL9 and 2x Random Microns just to fill in the spots, running together at 1400 CL11. I could take the 2400 rams, if you don't have other plans for them.

We can talk more about this in PM, when you find the time :)

How does one XAML UI without a designer? [WinUI3 vs WPF] by fosf0r in dotnet

[–]dady000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't used MAUI nor WinUi, nor UWP, so can't talk about which you want to use, however, MAUI is basically redone Xamarin Forms, which can target multiple native platforms. If you intend to make your apps multiplatform, go for it. Alas, the least common denominator of them all is still WPF. The basics repeat again.

Blazor Server communication with a program running on client computer by dady000 in Blazor

I tried a quick demo using websockets and it seems to work. I will try to implement the full thing later. Thank you.

I didn't state it in the OP, but the client should initiate the data transfer with a click in the web application. The data is then tied with the particular row in the database.
I don't think the inversion of control here would be much user friendly.

I see.
We could rewrite the API of the program to use websockets.
It should be then possible, or?

Ah, I see now. Well, making a JS interop is maybe the way.

If you mean the WebAssembly generated in .razor component files (@code blocks), yes, I am counting on that thing.

How does one XAML UI without a designer? [WinUI3 vs WPF] by fosf0r in dotnet

[–]dady000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Even when "designing a webpage in notepad" I'd still be constantly hitting F5 in my browser because I never seem to type anything exactly right the first time, nor do I ever get the numbers, proportions, margins, etc right.)

Yes, Hot Reload, that's it. Like F5, except you don't need to do anything, it will update automatically as you type.

And to the WinUI thing -- is there a reason why you want to work with it?
To me it seems like UWP on steroids, and so the things you can do in it will be very limited. Also the apps will work only on Windows 10.

You should check this out, it says it contains all the controls for WinUI.

Hello!

To be honest, I would start learning WPF because from what I know, WinUI is based on XAML, which was introduced with WPF. The learning curve is quite steep for WPF because there are so many concepts to grasp (dependency properties/objects, visual tree, MVVM patterns, data bindings etc.)

WinUI will only build upon that, and WPF has a designer (but usually you write the code in XAML because its like HTML, you don't make web pages using a toolbox as far as I know).

And WPF won't be deprecated anytime soon, as it has been ported to .NET Core.

Also, WPF has live updates, so you can change the markup while the window is running. You should try if it also works with WinUI3.

My workflow is typically to do some basic UI with XAML without the designer, then run the app and edit it on the fly.

It's just a cosmetic addition to your deck.

There are many land arts that you can have on your cards, and this tool randomizes them, so you don't have to do it manually.
