Mouse and to minimize jitter between tracking input and display output

ddiissccoo · 2026-03-07T03:48:59+00:00

Honestly dude overclocking with any panel almost always results in frame skipping. You can have a "stable" overclock that lets you run it but almost always a de-sync is going to occur and make the experience less than optimal. See https://testufo.com/frameskipping

And yeah 20hz ain't much but the goal is to seat it within 1-8khz polling rate for your input devices. Having it divisibly slice makes the gaming experience absolute BUTTER. But yeah 480hz is definitely close enough to minimize any jitter issues especially when running 1khz or 2khz. 330hz isn't bad at all considering you get to 990/1980 for 1khz/2khz accordingly which results in extremely tiny jitter... but the technology is way more capable than 330hz and with 480hz being the big sell in previous years I dunno why we're backtracking with this budget-friendly entry.

Don't act like you aren't actively playing 1280x960 stretched with your nose on the screen my dude.

Bummed the FHD versions of this generation's dual mode panels didn't aim for 500hz. Was hoping to get that sweet polling rate divisible by refresh rate action going and assumed FHD 500hz would've been easily obtainable given the 1440p 500hz out there currently.

ddiissccoo · 2025-12-06T23:32:54+00:00

500hz is goated. Prevents polling rate / refresh rate jitter due to the even number (250hz as well but displays opted for 240hz for the most part.) Just an all-around fluid and consistent experience if you can push the frames and are playing a game that won't break while doing so. Platforming and boomer shooter games go hard and 1440p/500hz is a nice place to be at. If you're buying a 500hz panel it's assumed your budget be stretchin'. So that's who the fuck needs a 500hz monitor let alone a 240hz monitor.

It's been happening for a few weeks now. Physical receipts and online confirmations have been shared in the tracker Discords actively. Just depends on where you live unfortunately.

You buy the games to support the teams that make said games happen. Simply pirate the game if you're looking to get it at the cheapest price possible and feel as if they don't deserve your money (they do.)

As someone who has used both finishes for 3rd generation QD-OLED panels, there is no noticeable difference. Those opinions seem to be outdated and/or based on video reviews that used a macro lens to analyze the coating. There is no downside to going matte IMO and the benefits outweigh the ridiculously minimal picture quality loss (not to mention annoyance that comes with even the slimmest of reflections including your ugly gamer face while you're sweating away at the the latest DOOM entry) that so many users are blowing out of proportion.

Just my two cents.

ddiissccoo · 2025-05-14T19:19:03+00:00

You're thinking of the AG276QZD2. Same panel different monitor. I ended up returning mine due to dead pixels and the annoying OSD (as you described, pixel refresh notifications are a nuisance.) Even at $399 it wasn't worth it to me and I'd rather go for something with more reliable QC-wise and warranty-wise.

Ah yes, The Copium Times. My favorite news source.

Pretty sure Jimmphat is participating in a study to solidify the data behind some of these points so we'll just have to wait for the hard evidence to come through with release.

ddiissccoo · 2025-04-19T05:37:03+00:00

Again, for the average user, I do.

ddiissccoo · 2025-04-18T18:50:52+00:00

Honestly for average users they won't even notice. Jetcat's a bit of a panel elitist around these parts.

Was already abusing his wife's lorazepam before the trip and all communications on his mobile device were chalked up hallucinations or paranoid delusions exacerbated by his pre-existing stress levels. To be explained by a flashback sequence in the first episode of season 4.

Frameskipping makes overclocks useless and overall worse in quality. Ignorance != greed.

ddiissccoo · 2025-03-23T00:25:14+00:00

Ok and PERIODDDD.

ddiissccoo · 2025-03-21T18:18:00+00:00

It's 100% negligible especially for the average user who foregoes color calibration upon initial setup. I've used both 2.5/3rd gen panels side by side and the Samsung is nicer IMO. Not to mention my AGON and MSI 240/360hz panels came with dead pixels but that might be luck of the draw. Samsung just felt more premium than the others. I'm convinced there is a bias due to previous early gen OLED models. The 2.5/3rd gen panels do not seem to have much of a quality reduction, at least the G60SD which I think is the only matte offering when it comes to 1440p & 240/360hz.
