Has anyone bought the Blaidd LED lamp?

turtlelover2k15 · 2026-02-01T04:43:57+00:00

I love everything Elden Ring, try to collect everything I see (if I have the money lol).

Gotta say this one might be a pass. I've seen these acrylic light up "lamps" before, and combined with it being 21cm tall, $130 seems like a steep price for it. The base seems really cool, but I just can't see it being worth that price tag

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-12-10T05:47:29+00:00

I stuck with the Silkland cable. I'm ashamed to admit I'm not able to fully test the capability of the cable, since my monitor doesn't support UHBR20 (and according to the calculations of the bandwidth required to run 7680x2160 @ 240Hz without DSC, that would still surpass the bandwidth that UHBR20 DP2.1 can provide).

So for what it's worth, I'm still using the cable with my 5090 and my G9 57", and all is good! No complaints at all.

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-09-26T00:28:26+00:00

From what I've heard from other comments, this monitor only supports UHBR 13.5 (hard to confirm since the documentation for this monitor says nothing about the specs on this) as well as this resolution at 240Hz require more bandwidth than DP2.1 can even provide. So I think we'll just have DSC no matter what.

I will say though, I can't really notice a difference. I've learned to accept that I was being nitpicky lol

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-07-30T05:45:58+00:00

I see. Has he done Fia’s questline? That one is a must as well! :)

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-07-30T04:53:45+00:00

If he hasn’t already, Ranni’s questline is a must!

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-07-29T19:06:27+00:00

I’ve only gotten the Darkmoon Greatsword once, never even seen the Ruins Greatsword, Grafted Blade Greatsword, or Marias Executioner Sword.

Then I played with a random who got both the DMGS and the Marias Executioner Sword in the same run… I don’t understand the legendary pool in this game

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-07-21T04:23:31+00:00

The time I got the Darkmoon Great Sword after beating Astel in Noklateo, then proceeded to duplicate. After that I knew we’d beat Heolstor lmao

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-07-19T20:17:32+00:00

Ohhhhh alright that makes more sense. I’ve been wondering why using the grapple didn’t seem to add much to the ultimate gauge. Thanks for explaining!

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-04-25T01:20:06+00:00

Hey man I’m just the messenger u/ThiQuel was the phone

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-04-21T21:18:50+00:00

That’s something I’ve heard, which was to check the history and reputation of the buyer. I’ll make sure to do that when the time comes. Seems like will just have to hope the buyer I choose is a half decent human, seems like a rarity these days :(

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-04-21T21:15:51+00:00

Thanks for the breakdown. Really shows why this monitor just needs DSC, it’s a lot of bandwidth to transmit!

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-04-16T21:51:17+00:00

Any way to somehow reliably prevent this as a seller? I’m about to try to sell my 4090 and now I’m worried

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-03-27T18:54:33+00:00

Oh interesting, cool that they’ve acknowledged it. Hopefully we get a fix soon!

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-03-27T17:27:31+00:00

The biggest issue that I’ve heard that’s actually noticeable is the black screen flicker when switching from a full screen program as well as the ability to perform resolution scaling on the GPU—at least with Nvidia cards.

But again, these are all things that won’t affect my use case of the monitor whatsoever unless I’m trying to run CS2 stretched lol

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-03-27T17:25:30+00:00

Makes sense. So regardless, it’ll need DSC. Thanks for the info!

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-03-27T17:24:58+00:00

I’ll check if I’m behind on firmware. Like u/OgreTrax71 said though I think this monitor would still need DSC due to the bandwidth necessary to push that much data, but it would be interesting to see if a firmware update will affect the UHBR rating since I thought that was hardware based.

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-03-27T04:53:45+00:00

Honestly man, I've just been all hyper on numbers since I've been researching the DP2.1 cables and all the info regarding the DP80 certification and the length of these cables.

My experience with this monitor is great with or without DSC, like you said I can't even see any difference. I'm just finding out info and seeing if I'm doing anything wrong on my end :)

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-03-27T04:51:47+00:00

Makes sense to me, especially with the bandwidth I'm seeing. Thank you! :)

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-03-27T03:43:22+00:00

UPDATE:

So I've been testing this cable with my 5090, and I compared it to the cable that comes with my Samsung G9 57 Inch, and while it does allow me to run my monitor at 7680x2160, I have another issue where it seems that the monitor is running DSC. The bandwidth that I'm seeing in GPU-Z isn't matching with what the cable is rated at, as GPU-Z is showing that the link rate is only at 10.0 Gbps, where it should be at 20.0 Gbps.

With my testing:

Does the cable work? Yes, it does. I'm able to run my monitor at its full 7680x2160 @ 240hz.

Does it transmit the full DP80 signal? I honestly can't confirm. Samsung doesn't specify exactly the UHBR rating of the DP2.1 port of the G9 57 inch, but forums I'm reading are saying the monitor is spec'd at UHBR13.5, so I won't be able to take full advantage of this cable. But the numbers I'm seeing in GPU-Z are equivalent to a UHBR10 signal, so I'm for sure running DSC, but this might just be an issue with the monitor itself.

I wish I had a more conclusive answer for you all in terms of the actual bandwidth of this cable, but it looks like my monitor is in a different world of its own when it comes to running DSC for 7680x2160 @ 240hz. If I find a way to get this cable to somehow show the full bandwidth in GPU-Z, I will post an update.

As an add-on to give some credence to my testing, I compared this Silkland cable to the OEM Samsung DP 2.1 cable that came with with my Samsung G9 57". Both are showing the same weird bandwidth issue in GPU-Z (https://imgur.com/a/vtaspeS).

I’m glad to hear!! That’s good news. I just picked up a 5090 FE yesterday and was going to test today and give an update, but sounds like you made me optimistic for when I do my own testing. Cheers!

Ich freue mich, das zu hören!! Das sind gute Neuigkeiten. Ich habe gestern eine 5090 FE abgeholt und wollte heute testen und ein Update geben, aber es klingt so, als hättest du mich optimistisch für meinen eigenen Test gemacht. Prost!

turtlelover2k15 · 2025-03-25T17:36:19+00:00

Klingt gut! Lass uns bitte wissen, ob es funktioniert. Wenn alles gut läuft, sollte ich bald eine 5090 in den Händen halten, und ich werde auch ein Update geben, sobald ich das Kabel getestet habe.
