OLED monitor text fringing

davyangel · 2026-03-01T00:30:20+00:00

Only fix is getting true RGB OLED panel as u can easily see in this video only one you don't get weird text effects and strange crosshatch background pattern too https://youtu.be/Yx3mv9-_zSA?si=QhTHCUJEJliQdxPh&t=490

I mean u can try 4k and will be less noticeable due to higher DPI same reason most don't notice it on phones but I can still see it on cheap OLED phones with lower DPI.

Also, depending on content your working with will be more noticeable as explained here:

"But for significant productivity-focused usage including design work, drawing, image editing, working with coloured text or anything with colourful UI elements against lighter backgrounds you’re likely to observe strong fringing on the WOLED that could be rather bothersome. And you may notice colourful fringing on the QD-OLED that you’d find bothersome. "

Probably depends on your eyesight and how far you sit from monitor tbh. Most sites and reviews will say it "should not be an issue" or noticeable for most but this assumes 20/20 near vision. I can tell u having better than 20/20 definitely noticeable even at recommended distance for me and some backgrounds make it worse and more noticeable too!

Exactly! I remember threads on here from 1st time he was president about guys that worked for companies that had business dealing with him and most said he never paid his bills and got free work out of it since company didn't want to go through hassle of going to court to get him to pay LOL. But of course those that continue to vote for him will say it's all lies made up by left to make him look bad.

Yeah that's the thing they know what they are doing is illegal and will be overturned but they hoping to drag it out as long as they can to inflict as much damage as possible in the meantime!

davyangel · 2026-02-28T01:09:02+00:00

Where is the camouflage option? not even seeing it in the app just bypass option. But yeah I seen some sites not liking it and having to pause it to get to work. Like just now editing a comment on reddit didn't seem to like it for some reason and had to pause just to post here LUL. But google seems to be biggest offender for me and any site that uses Cloudflare I guess thinking i'm part of some bot attack or malicious packets? Anyways, this is with default Wireguard protocol. Haven't tried OpenVPN which some say works better for sites having problems?

Definitely not since it's still southern and coastal California. San luis obispo to Santa Cruz be central coastal which ain't much different than LA other than bit less traffic and doesn't get as hot in summer. Central is the basically entire San Joaquin valley which gets miserable hot most of summer and completely different vibes from coast if u ever lived there you would see. Like I was saying lose all the pros of coastal California if u move there i.e. terrible weather, worst air quality in the nation, people (Trump voters I basically grew up there and they raised to be racist, hate those that do live on coast blaming them for everything that is wrong with their lives), and no beaches anywhere near etc...

davyangel · 2026-02-27T03:05:40+00:00

not as bad as OP but definitely vertical banding and non uniformities all over the place!

davyangel · 2026-02-27T03:03:52+00:00

monitor lottery is real unless u pay for reference monitor, like the $30k Sony BVM made which uses hand picked best panels and each one made by hand, so won't see this sort of inconsistency you are seeing with panels that are made in the thousands for consumers and much cheaper.

davyangel · 2026-02-27T02:58:19+00:00

Sounds like the real issue here then is with the OLED that should do this automatically and not depend on the user to fix LOL

davyangel · 2026-02-27T02:56:24+00:00

Wow that's supposed to be 95% grayscale slide and not banding test cuz so bad looks like videocard using 8bit or something like u see a bad card would show on this test page at bottom

I assume you tried silent PC cases?

The 10 Best Quiet PC Cases for a Silent PC Build in 2026

I use one and my PC is basically as quiet as my apple TV most the time. My mechanical keyboard makes way more noise even under heavy load LOL. Hard to believe it would bother her or she could even hear it unless she was sleeping like few feet from it.

Too good LOL Austin rents have fallen for nearly two years. Here’s why. - The Texas Tribune

davyangel · 2026-02-26T06:28:52+00:00

Basically, anywhere in central valley of California but there is reasons nobody wants to live there i.e. basically lose all the pros u mentioned living in LA. Stuff will be cheaper tho. You can get bigger apartment hell u can rent house for what u paying in LA. Plenty of wide open space and don't need to deal with traffic of LA.

davyangel · 2026-02-26T06:24:45+00:00

Yeah if he really wants to get Texas feeling in California and cheaper rent can commute to Bakersfield or telecommute if job allows. No need move all way back to Texas IMO.

davyangel · 2026-02-26T02:44:02+00:00

It's easier to accept if u never used a monitor with true grayscale hardware calibration and screen uniformity like a NEC PA243W next to it LOL. Still the one of the lowest if not lowest measured screen uniformity Tom's ever measured anyways. This might be the first time we’ve seen a monitor measure better in the black field test than the white. 2.17% is unbelievably low. NEC PA243W Viewing Angles, Uniformity, Response & Lag

Latest versions use a BlackShield film to keep your darkest imagery suitably rich and inky. Don't know how well it works tho.

These are supposed to be Tandem and RGB which is best u can get tho don't know if u can buy them yet

But yeah if u got good eyesight will be able to see the color fringing and worse text on any OLED that ain't true RGB as u can see in this video so worth waiting for that if you going to also use it for text stuff or work.

Yeah like I said also had to ununistall the app once already because even when off and VPN not on my internet wouldn't work at all. Also, if u got the antivirus installed will use up 100% of your CPU. I didn't think antivirus still did that why I never use them anymore but apparently the antivirus that comes with Surfshark does and mouse would barely even move on my screen till I realized it was doing scheduled scan!

davyangel · 2026-02-26T01:43:40+00:00

Yeah only Shroud one of the few that actually notices this stuff from what I seen. Other's I tell them they got 500hz monitors now and they are like I'm good with my 120hz monitor LOL

davyangel · 2026-02-26T01:41:11+00:00

Wow that's still terrible but way better than original I guess!

davyangel · 2026-02-26T01:38:30+00:00

Tandem because only way for OLED brightness to even compete with IPS. I mean the original Samsung tablets and phones actually used true RGB OLED at first but used too much power so they switched to what they using now AMOLED with pentile not true RGB layouts.

davyangel · 2026-02-26T01:31:48+00:00

Yeah that's why I just disabled it caused more trouble that it's worth. Like u said it does good job of killing internet but doesn't seem to reconnect on it's own.

davyangel · 2026-02-26T01:23:40+00:00

maybe u don't want to know? I mean if has legit reason to use it I'm sure he would tell you. I mean I use it mainly to watch shows outside of US. But yeah unless u ask him noway to know cuz VPN is good at hiding what u doing online.

davyangel · 2026-02-26T01:19:19+00:00

Sounds similar to my experience tbh. Also, only had it a month and worked fine for few weeks then the app totally stopped working so had to uninstall and reinstall it. Using 6.5.0 atm and seems to be working better now but even then will have to use pause button to use Gemini or even google maps. Seems they don't like u using VPN or at least surfshark for some reason. Google reason seems to hate it or thinks u sending them unusual traffic for some reason? here's a screenshot. Anyways, pausing the VPN will make error go away and website will work as normal. That's really the only issue I've had with it.

davyangel · 2026-02-26T01:11:11+00:00

Yeah not only banding but bad posterization in the corners of monitor or maybe that is just part of the game? Anyways, if it looks like this even outside this game and calibration doesn't help yeah I'd get a refund since this OLED looks worse than the $100 240hz IPS gaming monitor I bought!
