I already have a 4090 and I'm going to buy a 5090 and there's nothing any of you can do to stop me.

What if we put a bunch of Legos on the floor around your bed while you slept?

[–] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago

I would buy it from my bed using my phone and then summon my cats to bat the Legos away. I am unstoppable.

Random Tangent: I rather buy a nicer HDR monitor with that money. HDR Gaming is where it's at. SDR looks like washed out, dim dogshit to me now.

I offer an alternative to people who want nicer graphics: consider an OLED HDR monitor. HDR has like no performance impact but looks 10,000x better.

I'm using a 55 inch LG C4 as a monitor

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Then buy a bigger and newer TV. Do you have any screen burn-in? We have burn-in on our LG 65" OLED from playing Diablo 3.

[–] KITA@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just replaced my old 48 inch C1 with this TV because of burn in. Was able to return it to Costco and get all the money back and put it towards this new one.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Damn, you got lucky! They told us to contact the manufacturer. They didn't do anything. So we called the warranty company for the extended warranty that Costco sold us and they just refunded the warranty fee. Now we just deal with it. We paid $3300 for this thing, so we're in no hurry to replace it. The same size is only $2k now, but that's still a lot of cheddar. We have the 65" C6.

What’s considered a good “hdr” monitor?

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Preferably an OLED monitor (or TV). Either wOLED or QD-OLED. Both have strengths and weaknesses. I have a wOLED.

If not that, a high end miniLED.

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Should I worry about the brand that much or just go with OLED + HDR combo for whatever I can find in my budget?

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 points 1 month ago

Sites like rtings.com and tftcentral.co.uk have pretty decent measurement methodology. Probably best to stick to LG and Samsung but I can't say for certain.

[–] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anyone who has a 4090 more than likely already has an HDR monitor.

Otherwise, what are they doing?

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I have a 4090 and my display supports HDR and its disabled because fuck HDR. Do people actually like getting blasted with a floodlight because HDR automatically maxes your screen brightness? Like fuck I think my screen with HDR enabled is brighter than my lamp.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

That's not at all how HDR works.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

You don't have it configured correctly. That's not what HDR is supposed to do. Or you have a fake HDR monitor.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's default behaviour on windows11, I have an MSI titan laptop that definitely supports it. I've done 0 to configure it. My brightness is typically at minimum or near to, enabling HDR immediately and consistently maxes brightness on the majority of the screen. It's utterly unusable. It goes with things that people say matters like 1000nits of brightness or whatever when I actually want like 300, so my eyes don't start bleeding.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I'll say it again. You have it misconfigured. That isn't what HDR is supposed to do. You either have settings wrong in Windows, or in the games.

[–] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

That is default windows, if it's misconfigured then it ships misconfigured. I've done nothing except click the slider that turns it on, and then 5 seconds later off again as the dark mode settings menu blasts me with the full force of the screen.

If default doesn't work, I don't really feel like repeatedly blasting my eyes with full brightness until I figure out how to make it not burn out my retinas.

I think the issue is HDR requires the r part, being range, and I want it to not blast my eyes which anything above 20% brightness does if I'm inside, and default probably uses 100% of the brightness range and that actually causes pain.

Edit: to be clear, never made it to a game. Getting flash banged by the settings menu was bad enough thanks, don't need to deal with something intended to be a flashbang.

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 6 points 1 month ago

Okay you clearly have zero interest in what people are telling you so I'm not going to bother. Enjoy your misconfigured HDR.
