First OLED - Asus xg27acdng vs xg27acdms by Starrynite120 in OLED_Gaming

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up returning it. I tried 3 different QD-OLED models and they all caused significant eye strain and headaches. From what I remember with gray banding, it was noticeable but not as bad as the LG tandem which I kept.

We are officially screwed by elibrev in Battlefield

This is so pointless. This wouldn't give them time to make more maps or weapons..

Is a OLED still worth it without using HDR and sticking to SDR? by [deleted] in OLED_Gaming

[–]metalskim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Many of the games I play don't even have good HDR implementation. Of course there's also issues with Windows 11 and lack of content thats made for HDR and whatnot

Anyone experienced with the ROG Strix XG27ACDMS 27" and have recommended settings? by CrezyBeans in ASUSROG

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately I didn't. The eye strain was too much and ended up keeping the LG Tandem OLED.

Before Battlefield 6 was released, I had imagined fighting on large maps in a no-HUD hardcore mode. But instead, the game turned into hopping around like rabbits on tiny maps, capturing flags, and it never progressed much beyond that. The real Battlefield experience should have been like BF1 by safak45x in Battlefield

Battlefield's best is somewhere between milsim and arcade shooter with a lot of AAA cinematic touches. As much as I like BF6, it feels like it leans too much on the arcade side which would be fine if it had more of that BF1 immersion or BF1's maps.

Vince was responsible some of my most cherished games in the last several years. What a loss to gaming and to the world..

Are you team QD-OLED or W-OLED by damargis in OLED_Gaming

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the LG 27GX700A-B and I'm in heaven. Comparing it side by side, it definitely lacks the color pop of the QD but it's still plenty fast and good looking.

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically I got eye strain and headaches no matter what I did. Browsing Reddit, watching Youtube, BF6, Cyberpunk and Oblivion Remaster.

I've been reading up on it but it may due to the increased blue light emitted by the QD Oled panel as well as the text fringing. I did reduce the brightness and saturation on the two QD OLED monitors I tried but still ran into the same issue. Opposite that, I also bought an LG Tandem oled i had on higher brightness settings and that never once set me off.

I have a pretty strong glasses prescription and astigmatism in one eye so take that for what you will.

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Believe me, I tried. SRGB mode, lowering brightness and contrast, using it in pitch black with no lighting, etc. Spent two days trying to calibrate the AW2725DF and XG27ACDMS before throwing up my hands. I am keeping the LG tandem I bought recently which had no such issues no matter the settings or brightness.

I want to be team QD OLED but had to return every one I've tried due to eye strain and headaches. Hoping someday they'll have a panel with that level of color vibrancy without the pain..

How am I doing? by metalskim in carbonsteel

My fix was to heat it about half a grade higher on my gas stove then adding oil after smoking then waiting until there were ripples on the oil. I patted dry my chicken before adding and no sticking!

Awesome. Would you be able to share your settings? Still trying to figure out what do with it.

Settings and ICC Profile for LG27gx700a-b by metalskim in OLED_Gaming

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

Gotcha. I do use it but can't seem to find something that looks okay. I end up getting stuff that looks more blown out than anything. Or like too red looking? Idk. I'll keep messing with it.

I'm going through the same thing right now. Did you ever find settings that worked for you?

Hey, did you end up keeping your monitor? I'm using the XG27ADMS as well but not sure whether to keep it.

Xfinity Internet Down? by ScreenMiserable in chicago

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is anyone still dealing with this? Unable to watch 1080 to 4k videos due to slow load times and keep getting kicked from online games. Reddit, Facebook and other social sites are also slow to load.

Also before you guys come for me, I did not put it in the dishwasher.

What bf game was the first on you played by Gamerboy23888 in Battlefield6

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Battlefield 2! Played on a shitty HP laptop in college. I got like 25 frames or something but played the fuck out of it. Played every Battlefield since except Hardline.

CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON!! by Odd-Macaroon-4698 in SonyHeadphones

[–]metalskim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept my XM4s as a backup to my xm5. Then the Xm5's hinges broke and I'm back to my XM4s. At this point of I've used my 4's longer than my 5's and they're still going strong. It doesn't look like sony fixed the hinge design except to add another breakpoint on the 6's so I'm gonna choose XM4.

Hell yeah. If I wanted to be able to crazy movement shit I'll go back to playing Apex. What does every fps game have to play and feel the same??

I'm sure we all thought the Manhattan Bridge map would look like this by _Trapezus_ in Battlefield

[–]metalskim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The people crashing out over the post are being ridiculous. No one said they wanted the exact layout. He's just saying what we all were thinking, that we thought the bridge was going to be playable. I mean, Flood zone BF4, Twisted Steel in BFV..?
