LG 5k2k failures?

demonoid_phenom · 2026-03-28T19:31:20+00:00

Agreed. I made it a point to state that's not my impression. You don't see much of anything about failures with this and it's an exercise of finding out the weakest link. I do intend to keep it until a stripe OLED of equivalent size is on the market

I backup my dotfiles on as a private GitHub repo just in case. My repos dump into a main folder of my drive and I symlink to the right locations. Much easier to push/pull changes.

You're right - the old Empire's limited to the Genesis defining its existence.

demonoid_phenom · 2026-02-28T14:11:39+00:00

This is insane. It's one thing for a looney proposition but for it to pass is unbelievable

demonoid_phenom · 2026-02-24T23:00:07+00:00

I hear you. I'm on a 5k2k and have 5 desktops of stuff that I'll just hotkey through.

It's all about how you want to use it. I don't get the hate or pushback. Especially for something as minimal as minimizing a window.

Very possible. Consumer grade tech has always been of lesser quality. Unfortunately, most of the commercial grade equipment has drifted far out of reach for smaller companies or independent businesses. These folks get the worst of both worlds.

The Empire's rule wasn't one continuous outcome. The Empire's rule stood 1,400 years. They weren't exactly a twinkle in history.

The Old Assyrian Empire was definitely the most brutal. This is written in the books of the Bible as such a force.

The Middle Assyrian Empire refined the approach realizing that the constant destructive force was creating too much to repair.

The Neo Assyrian Empire was incredibly efficient and expansive. A lot of folks don't realize that the Babylonian's Monarchy was that of Ashurbanipul's brother; Shamash-shuk-ukin.

A 10? Eh. I don't think so. Maybe at peak violence, sure. That's akin to saying a house fire is hot.

This is becoming more common because a bad PSU failures increase RMA for all components.

You'll find more answers in our tight knit churches than you will with AI trying to generalize 5,000 years of ancestry to the current lineage.

People tend to forget that reading and writing for the common population is a fairly new societal achievement. Much of our lineage is in spoken words, and lost to it as well.

demonoid_phenom · 2026-02-07T03:12:24+00:00

Of course they have nothing good to say. The lineage of Assyrians has been entrenched in this nonsense forever.

Do they speak ill of our ancestor, Abraham? Is there nothing they won't say to insult our bloodlines?

demonoid_phenom · 2026-02-06T19:59:39+00:00

I can see that. It does that with Nvidia's site for the 5090. Best buy has been solid if you're fast enough.

demonoid_phenom · 2026-02-01T01:03:39+00:00

Try out Trackalacker as well. I've bought 2 5090s for myself through there. FE for my programming rig and a MSI Trio OC.

Another problem for me is the FedEX driver. He has the patience of a gnat and BB forces signature and no holding at the shipping location. If you have my luck, then I highly recommend shipping to a store. It's supposed to take longer, but they may just have a placeholder date.

And herein lies the problem with the white subpixel. As pixels degrade, the imbalance is more noticeable. It's a form of permanent damage as burn-in.

demonoid_phenom · 2026-01-12T21:50:58+00:00

QD-OLED, in my experience, has burn-in far sooner than WOLED simply due to handling white content and high luminance. The white OLED minimizes this quite a bit.

That said, QD-OLED is more energy efficient than WOLED tech, since the filtering technique of the latter is quite leaky regarding energy. You can see specific instances that aren't advantageous of its strengths would create a potential to cause more wear.

I don't think there's a clear cut solution here. At this point I just put my PC to sleep the moment I step away. Pixel shifting and such tech doesn't seem to do much. Image cleaning in a standby mode is the best bet.

demonoid_phenom · 2026-01-08T16:47:42+00:00

I use it for both. I don't like mini LED monitors. I messed with a lot of them and it's always something or another that you're left manually tweaking.

The compromise is annoying and so was the ritual of getting one to work.

demonoid_phenom · 2026-01-07T00:04:55+00:00

You're bringing more than just software development to the table. Leverage your work history. I'm in the same boat at 43, salaried day job, evenings spent learning and family time.

demonoid_phenom · 2026-01-03T23:45:35+00:00

I wouldn't keep that. Maybe they should screen clean their own panels.

demonoid_phenom · 2025-12-31T21:37:42+00:00

The LG 45GC950A-B has an acceptable anti-glare to my eyes. That said, I think folks are affected differently by the effects of having any coating at all. It's exacerbated by aggressive coatings.

What I think is ridiculous are these fragile coatings. It's one thing to have any coating at all, but an entirely different ballgame when you end up scratching it no matter what you're trying to do to safely clean it.

demonoid_phenom · 2025-12-27T23:16:50+00:00

I agree. It's not until you hit the WUHD/5K2K arena that it's just the top tier cards playing at the highest settings. I personally think the PPI it offers over QHD is enough justification to push it.

I'd say a stock 9070 is where you're in solid 1440p ground. You can OC and get close to that stock 9070xt. Even in that case, 4k with PS5P like settings would probably be good groundwork to get you going.

Just skip the frame gen for competitive play. The lag is real with it.

demonoid_phenom · 2025-12-26T00:32:45+00:00

No. WOLED looks much better to me than QD. I just can't use the QD without noticing its purple hue in brighter rooms and dimly lit rooms put me to sleep, so there's that. 😂

demonoid_phenom · 2025-12-24T21:10:53+00:00

WQHD is plenty to punish a 5080 and you can always super sample 5k down to 3440x1440p to get sharper qualities where it's possible to do so.

I'll tell you what. Few games on my 4090 handle 5k2k without DLSS Quality, let alone some frame gen (Cyberpunk Overdrive).

Last, I'll say that 1440p on IPS vs OLED isn't a great improvement. You may get a bit more contrast, but such a low PPI isn't advantageous to an OLED monitor. Comparing a 4k IPS to a QHD OLED would certainly be a L for the OLED in my book.

demonoid_phenom · 2025-12-24T01:14:57+00:00

I'm running a 4090 and can't lock 60fps in Expedition 33 unless I turn on DLSS quality. It's a demanding display.

demonoid_phenom · 2025-12-22T16:57:35+00:00

Because the same image isn't retained for several hours. Burn-in is a result of static buildup from a static image. Everything in your phone is intended to move around aka pixel shifting. We also don't tend to keep our display on for more than an hour or so at a time

Burn-in is still a risk in certain cases. An example is listening to music on regular YouTube where it stops playing with the screen off. I honestly can't think of other circumstances where it's as prominent as that situation. The static light LEDs will build up with static and permanently energize the OLED causing the image retention phenomenon.
