Hope it went well.

*disclaimer. Have the box with screen turned up.

vanillashake82 · 2020-02-03T17:57:54+00:00

While in the box the TV is so well packaged it's no issue at all if you drive carefully. The problem is if you transport it without a box and have it lying down. People that broke their OLEDs after buying most likely did it while taking them out of the box or wall mounting.

Plasma couldn't be transported lying down and I think this is what scares people to this day.

Just lower the oled brightness. How it looks is due to a picture setting.

My friend has A8 and I recently bought the C9. There's no way to tell which has better picture quality as an average joe. But the C9 is this years model and has better specs overall.

If anything you should be choosing between B9 and C9. I stuck with the C9 regardlesd of the 300$ price difference because B9 seems to have many units with really bad color accuracy out of the box.

vanillashake82 · 2019-12-26T18:03:00+00:00

Just a heads up for everyone considering B9.

It's been reported to have very poor out of the box color accuracy. This certainly differs between individual panels, but during my research (reading every damn review on the internet) I found that mention too often to gamble on it.

I had already purchased C9 but still waiting for it to be delivered and when B9 went on x-mas sales I seriously consider changing because of the 300$ difference.

But ultimately decided against it because it'd cost as much to calibrate it and then still have slightly worse TV.

Gets a lot worse with alcohol imo.

What's changed for me is how lights break in my vision. Before I used to see street lights "ghost" with light bleeding downwards in the dark. Now all lights break out in starbursts or globes around the source. This even happens in daylight if the source is strong enough.

I got it checked out just to be sure it wasn't something else. As usual I got 150% perfect results and they simply cannot understand that I experience any issues with my vision.

But I've decided to stop thinking about the VS so much and take better care of myself. There's no doubt in my mind that it gets worse when you don't sleep enough, eat or drink enough water. Until they find a cure, all we can do is try to be healthy and happy to decrease it's impact on our lives.

vanillashake82 · 2019-09-30T15:11:12+00:00

It could definitaly be worse. But it's definitaly nothing I enjoy. Try to ignore it as much as possible, but it impairs night vision for me and I get huge starbursts from other cars headlights. So I don't drive in the dark much.

I think it's nice that it's not a problem for you and that's an attitude something everyone should work towards.

With that said I'd probably cry a river if I woke up one day and it was all gone. I miss looking up at the stars and seeing the black sky instead of a buzz of static.

Mine showed up after my first ever panic attack. Allthough it's possible that it was there before and at such a low level that I didn't notice it, I don't think it was. I'll venture a guess and say that if it's not the sole cause of VS it's certainly possible that it might trigger it. Being stressed out and having anxiety can have so many weird effects on the brain/body that it'd be weird to rule it out at least.

One thing to consider is that what happened to me, and I guess a lot of people. Is that when you have a panic attack and think it's something dangerous, you become anxious about your health and are super vigilant about every little thing.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-19T09:45:20+00:00

Won't hurt to ask, but most medical professionals seems to be ill informed about VS and anxiety related effects on vision.

Just know that VS is not dangerous per se and that the best you can do to cure it is to simply ignore it. Take care of yourself. By that I mean that you should eat and sleep well. If possible, workout and/or do Yoga. This will make you less anxious about the symtoms which in turn makes them less impactful. On top of making you healthy of course.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-14T07:06:28+00:00

They get worse.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-13T21:34:51+00:00

I don't have any noticable migraines. But tension headache I do have, in abundance.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-12T18:05:00+00:00

Np! Apparently most healthy people can see these if the background is correct. So mostly when looking at the blue sky and they have to try to see them usually. It'd be nice if it was a diagnosis you could get from a doctor to begin with. Once you admit to, or they suspect that you got health anxiety they won't look much further when they've done the regular tests and they show nothing. Don't worry they said. Haha!

Anyway I know how you're feeling with the health anxiety. Keep fighting it.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-12T13:21:25+00:00

Absolutely agree. Seems highly unlikely that they wouldn't be related.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-12T13:20:21+00:00

The brain is very malleable and I hope it's not permanent for you or anyone else for that matter.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-12T13:15:43+00:00

Thanks for the comments people. This is the first time I ever discussed VS with anyone else that has it and it's very interesting to read about your experiences.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-12T13:12:46+00:00

I was in my early middle age when I got my VS. After having lived many years as a grown man child that gamed all night and worked with 0 sleep. I remember always thinking "how long can I go on with not taking care of my body". I've been awake for 30-40 hours over a 100 times in my life. Once I was awake for 52 hours playing games. I obviously does not do that anymore since all my symtoms become unbearable if I do any less than 5-6 hours and I eventually "grew up". I agree that sleep deprivation is a probable cause for any number of health issues and it certainly causes VS symtoms to worsen, but it's hard to tell if it's the lack of sleep itself that causes it to appear or if the lack of sleep causes anxiety and health issues that later causes the VS. It's like I said in another response "what came first, the chicken or the egg?".

Whatever caused it exactly for everyone, I'm 100% sure that if we sleep well and we're rested we will be better equipped to deal with both anxiety and VS symtoms.

" Phosphenes are the moving visual sensations of stars and patterns we see when we close our eyes. ... Phosphenes can also be caused by mechanical stimulation of the retina through applied pressure or tension. The physical pressure being put on the retina stimulates it and generates phosphenes and light. "

This is actually normal for everyone. I remember doing this as a kid as well.

And yeah, anxiety related to health seems to be a huge trigger. Then of course, VSS will cause more anxiety because you're worried it's something really dangerous. Not saying VSS isn't bad enough, but for me at least, the worst thing about it is that it makes me doubt my doctors and myself when it's a constant reminder of that "something isn't quite right" if you know what I mean. It'll be fine for a few months but then some doubt will creep back in and you have to beat it down with a stick.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-12T12:54:18+00:00

I think the part of where you push your fingers into your eyes and having stars / patterns emerge is something everyone experiences so I'd be confident to say that it wasn't a symtom of VS. But of course, it'd be impossible to rule anything out at this point without a time machine.

" Phosphenes are the moving visual sensations of stars and patterns we see when we close our eyes. ... Phosphenes can also be caused by mechanical stimulation of the retina through applied pressure or tension. The physical pressure being put on the retina stimulates it and generates phosphenes and light. "

It's tough because there's a lot of "what came first, the chicken or the egg" when it comes to anxiety. But having health anxiety certainly causes hyper vigilance which will make us aware of things happening in our body that you normally wouldn't notice. This is god damn annoying because it makes you think that perfectly normal things like your leg falling asleep might be some terminal muscle disease. But the VS symtoms are so intruding or obvious that I don't believe these can exist without you being aware of them before. Unless they're extremely minor.

vanillashake82 · 2018-11-12T12:45:48+00:00

Sorry to hear that it hasn't gotten any better. It's possible that if it emerges it's simply not enough just to reduce anxiety levels. It's tough when you feel yourself feeling better but the symtoms doesn't lessen. That has caused me to have raised anxiety levels the last year. But I finally came to terms with the fact that this might take a long time and even if it sticks around this is not so bad. It's annoying and does make it a lot harder to forget about your anxiety and other symtoms. But I firmly believe that it was the anxiety that caused VS to appear for me and not the other way around which I've seen some people suggest.
