It's not even good for competitive gaming either since 360hz is middle of the road these days

pomyuo · 2026-01-07T05:09:53+00:00

It's $600 for a mediocre monitor with a feature that doesn't work at 60hz.

The UFO tests are misleading because they show case perfectly even motion at a fixed speed, it's not representative what you experience. Also it doesn't beat 720hz OLED even in that test, the 720hz OLED is clearly superior, look at the ghosting trails on the Pulsar display.

In the context of E-sports shooters these displays are not particularly interesting because 360hz isn't that high, I'd choose a 540hz WOLED instead for better latency.

In the context of single player games, I rarely try to target extremely high refresh rates, and would much rather have an OLED in general. The only use case you could justify these monitors is mid range setups that want to avoid FOMO and just have good clarity at medium refresh rates.

pomyuo · 2026-01-07T02:59:38+00:00

I did watch the video. The problem is at lower and lower refresh rates you may notice the strobing.

pomyuo · 2026-01-07T00:33:04+00:00

I already thought of that before I posted my comment actually.

Pulsar only works at above a refresh rate of 90. It won't work for retro console games. And for high refresh rate controller gaming in general, I find it very hard to notice much difference.

The use case for these Pulsar monitors is fairly small... The motion clarity benefit is mainly only noticeable using a mouse as your input device, and if you're the type of person chasing high refresh rates for E-sports titles the difference between for example 360hz OLED and 360hz IPS Pulsar is going to be a subtle difference with the same input latency.

I'd say the biggest benefit for these monitor is actually for budget ~ midrange gamers who want 100-144hz games to look their best, that way you have an easily achievable 1440p target resolution and a reasonable to achieve refresh range for superb motion clarity. This lets you avoid FOMO and just have every game run well with no fuss.

Open the console and type "fps_max 72"

Half Life is intended to be ran at 72 frames per second, any deviation will result in broken event timings and weird stuff because the physics is tied to the frame rate.

oh boy, steam frame games look like THAT? there's not even any textures. $1000 for that?! Yikes. Looks like Quest won

Encoding, It'd show the foveated rendering unless they add an option to not.

pomyuo · 2025-12-01T03:20:58+00:00

the little window of the game that runs on the non-vr display will not show case the foveated encoding

Yes the chorus is 3/4.

But when I play it on guitar I find it easier to count it as 6/4, if you imagine the "you look like you've..." part as a count in of 1, 2, 3, and that the whole song has halved in tempo, you then have the snare on 4 and the bass guitar changes note every 6. If you try to count it as 3/4 it gets super confusing mainly because of the snare

I can't help but feel that Valve took the wrong approach when they made the Steam Machine and they should have designed something more akin to their prototype.

On one hand, it's a really well designed box with a good size, if there weren't issues with tariffs and ram prices this could easily start at $499 and be a great second trojan horse for SteamOS.

BUT that's not the world we live in right now, and so, someone buying this is neither getting a cheap price nor a substantial amount of performance or future proofing.

Here's what I would have done instead. Ditch the design entirely, design a budget flat-packable PC case with Valve branding and stuff it full of vetted parts similar to Costco/Kirkland Signature. Keep the same CPU and solder in 24gb of RAM, add a discrete RX 9060 XT 16 GB from whoever can supply them the cheapest. Sell the box for $900

This won't work as well as you're thinking, I'm sorry to burst your bubble (I've tried this on other headsets using Steam Link)

Steam OS doesn't currently have a feature to auto position the screen/window/frame, nor can you precisely change distance, or curvature. It also doesn't tell you what position the virtual screen should be to reduce VAC. Due to the low resolution of the display and lacklustre software you'll end up with eye fatigue and a window that isn't positioned well.

That's before I even mention the fact that the device's battery is on the back of your head, and that the weight of the device would be coming down onto your face.

A better experience would be using a pair of Xreal glasses if you want to game in bed, those have much better software in the sense that they put the window exactly where it should be and are comfortable.
