I got the 240hz OLED and the PG27AQN 1440p 360hz
Well I'm picking one
The OLED is great
People said it's dark
But it doesn't seem dim to me
it felt fine
But I do game in a dim ish room
I honestly thought it would be dimmer
The reviews made it seem worse than it is
I've always used my monitors at this brightness
I've been using the OLED and it has better ghosting
I could see the ghosting more on the pg27aqn
I also had the benq 360hz
They are all great monitors
You can't go wrong with either one
The pg has ips glow in blacks
OLED has much better colors
But side by side they both look good
narrow turret
I just want 24.5" 1440p 360Hz... I'm switching back right now to 24.5" because 27" is just too big for my taste for shooters.
And no the Asus AQN is not the right choice here. 1.3-1.5k € for a 27" monitor just to use it's 25" mode is just stupid xD

My man we aint never getting 24 inch 1440p
Cause there are only a few panel manufacturers and they see 27" as the standard for high res
So they select only a few panels to make
I didnt like 27" at first but I got used to it 24" now feels small

though as is usual for yoko taros games, the story behind it adds up but is fucked up/depressing
basically as best of a summary for kaine (dont read this if you havent completed nier yet and want to play it) || her original human form was a designer baby with her grandparents dna as well as legion dna (a special mutant, one coming from the white chlorination aftermath that drakengard story put into the world) so when the project gestalt plan was put into motion an issue appeared and her her replicant body became intersex so she has both genitialia and started to get bullied as a kid (and replicants cant reproduce so it doesnt even change anything) which then turned her to dress like that to show one side more and hide people from thinking otherwise|| and thats why she's dressed like that

At least according to statista just in 2022 PC's had 286 million units sold
Why on earth would you not release games on PC
Obviously out of those 286m you have office PCs, people that have no interest in gaming, etc
But just cause Steam has like 30 million or so concurrent users, the amount of gamers that do play games is a lot higher than what the PS5 will sell until like 2025

Why on earth would you not release games on PC
the hope of selling more consoles
and it obviously works to the tiniest degree
feral ferry
I significantly doubt that selling those consoles will earn them more than distributing every single game they release on PC
You would be hoping that those console sales would also bring service sales, like their PSNow service
small comet
well with the console comes: "oh now that i have a ps5 i can play those other ps exclusive. oh and maybe get ps plus"
i know way too many people with beefed up gaming pcs who bought every playstation since the 3 just because of this
feral ferry
I don't have the values for "what's more profitable", but knowing that consoles are so expensive to make, selling games multiple times would be bound to make you more money than just selling a console once

There are so many people that have multiple Switches

and wasnt interested anymore
i even made money on it
paid 100bucks for it and sold it for 150

Well the unpatched PS4's are a rarity
Same shit will prolly happen with PS5 once a proper jailbreak will be found for those early PS5s with that vulnerability that they found

dlss is a bandaid :p

Also won’t fix issues in that game for the most part because Erbe performance comes from cpu bottlenecks
The game is actually quite optimized on gpu side
Also misleading title the mod uses dlss frame hallucinations not upscaling

648p 40fps on new fen console in the 4K age.
How?
orchid prism
That's on the consoler manufacturers, not consumers.
fringe salmon
sure? but also not really unless you wanted the consoles to be double the cost
orchid prism
If you overpromise and underdeliver, that's on you.
They specifically marketed the consoles and games as such 😄
fringe salmon
ok sure if we make fun of the marketing I'm down for that, but reality is that we aren't in the 4k age
orchid prism
No different from the horrible Switch ports of games it couldn't handle that turned out ... well horrible.
Not the consumer's fault if they were promised one thing and given another.
I agree from a technical standpoint though. Definitely not 4K era.
Skipping 1440P was not a great move 😄
fringe salmon
yeah, though that is TV markets fault, cant market to something that TVs dont do when you are a device mostly used in a living room
orchid prism
Do 4K TVs not do 1440P? That seems... odd?
fringe salmon
some do, but some will just use shit scaling and also it's still really bad for looks if you advertise people to use half of what their screen can do
gotta think about the big normies too that might not even think about it being possible to use that weird 1440p mode they never heard of
orchid prism
I mean sure - Scaling will always be an issue. But not allowing 1440P inputs at all would be very weird. Never had that issue on PC.
fringe salmon
back to the original point though, the game is very optimized for gpu side so the performance issue are mostly cpu side so lowering resolution wont make it faster
