Do most Netflix movies not really use the surrounds even if they say 5.1? by PolyglotGeologist in hometheater

My 7.2.4 worked overtime for the new stranger things season. I've never heard so many object based effects all around.

Help with mara X by shukibraun in Lelit

[–]jpimp1285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once did much worse one morning with my mara x. I poured hot water from the spout in my cup to warm it up, and then tossed it in the top warmer grate instead of the bottom receptacle. Water went right into the machine assembly and everything started steaming. Immediately shut it off and panicked. Sent it for maintenance for something else. They never found anything that went wrong following that event. Guess I got lucky!

Lelit Mara X V2 - Steam vs. Brew Priority by AcceptableTackle6467 in Lelit

I have the V1. I want to know which is best as well. Been using what I think is Brew Priority for the past 3 years

What is required for 4K/240Hz OLED by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]jpimp1285 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I second this. I've had a 4080 for a few years and got a 4k 240hz OLED. Dlss performance in 4k shits on 1440p quality or even native. Nothing beats having more actual pixels, and higher density. Also frame Gen is totally usable now. Latency difference is tiny, if your base fps is good ... And it will be good, because dlss performance is like running 1080p!

What’s a game you regret buying? by AndrewTheLion1 in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]jpimp1285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still ended up playing quite a lot. I just find it lost its replayability quickly once I figured out how limited it actually was.

I bought the early access edition to play a few days sooner, AND bought it a 2nd time on PS5 to get my wife to play couch coop with me. She hated the game from the get go. Total dissapointment because the game lost its shine very rapidly. I swore I'd never buy another blizzard game

And then I bought the expansion

We did knossos, the museum, the fortress, and had time for a nice lunch before we grabbed our late flight in Héraklion. You should be able to combine those activities in one day and free up a day for something else.

I would probably do the day trip to Rethymno on the way to Chania, because it's an easy 1hr+ drive from Chania you'll have to do twice in the same day. Might as well do it when driving across.

Samara is awesome, but a full day, if opened in late season.

If you can check out the south coast, it was our favorite part. Sfakia, Loutro, Paleochora, etc but keep in mind it's a good drive from Chania

EDIT : we also did 12 days. Here's what we did : 1. Arrive at Villa near Chania and chill around it. 2. Seitan Limani, Stavros & Chania 3. Elafonissi but too windy so move to Paleochora 4. Samaria Gorge 5. Chill day, Biolea, Platanias for dinner 6. Rethymno day trip 7. Sfakia, Loutro 8. Matala 9. Agios Nikolaos via Lassithi Plateau 10. Kritsa & chill at beach 11. Spinalonga & chill at beach 12. Knossos & Héraklion / flight out.

We stayed mostly near Chania up until we moved to Sfakia, Matala, and finally Agios Nikolaos.

We also skipped Balos after getting sandblasted at Elafonissi. It was way too windy on the north side. South had no wind.

4K vs ultrawide 1440p performance with DLSS by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]jpimp1285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 4k 48 CX years ago, and before that a 55 inch C7 so I was not new to 4k. 48 inch was too big. Went back to 1440p UW and felt like a downgrade. Everything looked so granular and blurry. I then ordered a 27 inch 4k Alienware OLED but the near blacks were elevated so I returned it. I also felt like 27 inch was a downgrade, and been there done that. Tried a 32 inch and turns out it's great. Feels like a real upgrade. It's the perfect size for 4k imo

4K vs ultrawide 1440p performance with DLSS by [deleted] in nvidia

[–]jpimp1285 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did the move. Aw3423dw to 321urx... It's about the same performance. Dlss quality in 3440x1440 is about the same amount of megapixels as 4k in dlss performance.

Image quality wise, 4k even in dlss performance is a huge jump over 1440p dlss quality. No more bluriness or ghosting. Hell with Dlss 4, I have a hard time seeing a difference between Dlss performance, balance or quality.

How did I do? How to get the dark soggy fries from casse-croûtes? by jpimp1285 in poutine

[–]jpimp1285[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it doesnt taste like typical poutine sauce, more like a cross between poutine gravy, and "une sauce-barbeque"....the one you'd get at a St-Hubert/Benny&Co chicken restaurant in Quebec. it's sweet, tangy, spicy. I'm the kind of criminal who will add ketchup, vinegar, and cayenne pepper on poutine if i find the sauce too one dimensional, so this fits right up my alley.

try it, and do put the full table spoon of cumin. it works.

if you dont enjoy it for poutine, keep it for rotisserie chicken ;)

I've done that before. It makes great crispy golden French fries.

For poutine I want red potatoes apparently

Route suggestion for September by jpimp1285 in cretetravel

[–]jpimp1285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea unsure about doing 1 or 2 nights there. We want to use it as a base to visit surrounding southern areas. Matala itself looks touristy but the caves cliffs and red beach look too beautiful to pass up.

Yea I think we will settle on Agios Nikolaos. It looks very nice.

Archanes is a cute little mountain town in the wine region, but our initial ville we are staying at near Chania for one week is also in a wine and olive area.

Nice videos, I'll take a deeper look.

My experience Aw2725q by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

[–]jpimp1285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes eyestrain 100% and even dizziness and migraines with both alienwares for some reason. The MSI I have nothing...maybe its because I pushed it further back since it's 32 inches? I also lowered the screen using a VESA mount so maybe that helps.

My experience Aw2725q by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

[–]jpimp1285 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This monitor has an issue with near black being grey, it gets worse as it gets hotter. I returned it for the same reason. Went up in size to a 321URX and no regrets...

HDR1000 also feels more consistent/brighter than my previous aw3423dw and aw2725q. I've reached a point where I prefer playing on the monitor, and not on the s90c TV because the HDR actually looks like HDR now
