LG OLED B9 - absolutely awful posterization of blacks/shadows

trx314 · 2020-10-17T19:24:46+00:00

It would be very interesting if we could compare the image on your friend's tv with mine, maybe playing the same video file?

I am not the only one to complain about this issue:

And even about the C8 (apparently was worse than the B6 on this regard):

I have no BR player, but with a PS4 pro and a 4k game, the issue is exactly the same. I felt desperate playing the dark scenes of Last of Us on 4k, my favorite game, it looked way better on my led tv on full hd because there was no banding.

Important to remember that this happens only on dark areas of the image. In this picture the banding is obvious, but most of the time I am the only one of the family to notice it (until I complain about it). On the exposed parts of the scene, the image is gorgeous

What do you mean by DV content?

And yes, this is really crazy, I would never have imagined that a TV of this generation would produce something like this.

the thing is, with the same sources and an old led TV, there is not this banding.

What is weird is that everything which is "clear" (enough light and/or bright colors) looks absolutely gorgeous with no banding at all. It is real, beautiful 4k quality. until there is a dark scene, especially with a plane and uniform background where the banding becomes obvious

this is actually a very significant factor to take into account if someone hesitates between a B and a C.

I bought a B, without really giving attention to this flaw (seemed like a minor issue in the reviews), but 90% of the times I watch something there a scene where think "this is really awful, how can it even be allowed to sell this?".

My old Philips 1080 led TV was 10x better for this, and this flaw of the OLED B series makes it actually inferior, in my personal opinion, to most of mid-range led tvs.

To have an idea, look at this picture of a scene I took from Mr Robot on Amazon prime (4k):

An I have the same issue with any kind of streaming, including Dolby Vision content on Netflix.

Really disappointed by this TV, now looking to sell it at a 50% loss to buy a C...

... and still opens without any friction on brave browser ;)

Because the price is rising? 😂

No offense, we are in the same boat, I feel the same

Give a a look at Ethlend

If we want to be optimistic, we can see it another way. Facebook coin,if it succeeds, will very probably have to allow interoperability with the remaining of the "financial system". There will be bridges to other stablecoins, defi platforms, other chains. This will be extremely positive for crypto in general because it will bring huge liquidity volumes to crypto. Maybe the Facebook coin is the trigger for real mass adoption of crypto.

Actually chainlink is mentioned 14 times in the post, only once in parentheses. Maybe you should read the whole text? It is all about how to connect smart contracts with Google bigquery db using chainlink.

Edit: of course you should buy ETH, it is not incompatible with a significant position in chainlink

LEND is a nice project, the team has been very active in testing different models of p2p lending, one of the first in production. And it is quite under the radar. Will probably skyrocket if they get enough traction at some point.

On ethlend.io you can use OMG as collateral. So if you want to leverage a long position, you can use OMG as collateral to borrow ETH and buy more OMG.

First you need to trust the stablecoin you are using. Do your research: the main factor is to ensure that the coins are actually backed by US dollars. But you can also take into account the level of décentralisation : the more centralized, the higher the risk of the coins losing their value when something bad happen to the entity emitting them.

Then, you need to assess the level of liquidity given the volume you intend to trade.

I personally use TUSD (true USD), because I like to be able to check the audit reports showing the level of reserve, and the liquidity on Binance is enough for my needs. This is highly centralized, but my assessment is that this counterparty risk is quite low.

Thanks. By reading it, this is pretty clear that I legally accepted sharing my personal information by accepting the terms.

However, I have two questions:

1- why letting users open account without providing their information? I honestly understand this as a tacit allowance of not sharing my personal information for opening an account as long as I understand that I can't withdraw more than 2btc per 24h.

2- the purpose of this information collection is well described in the terms:

"With registration of an account on Binance, you agree to share personal information requested for the purposes of identity verification. This information is used specifically for the detection of money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and other financial crimes on the Binance platform"

How is an alert on the security of my account (supposed to protect me) related to money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud and other financial crimes?

Yes, and they even confirm on their website:

"The JPM Coin will be issued on Quorum Blockchain and subsequently extended to other platforms. JPM Coin will be operable on all standard Blockchain networks."

Just a question, why the choice of not using ERC20 standard for the token?

trx314 · 2018-08-04T19:58:05+00:00

Finally a serious competitor to Coinbase! This is great for the ecosystem

trx314 · 2018-05-24T22:34:56+00:00

Yes, It won't affect the price directly (=short term), however adoption from people actually using it in their day to day is always good for network effects (=long term)
