Spork3245 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 5 minutes ago, Mr.Vic20 said: I'm willing to go with an 8K non OLED IF the image quality is VERY close and if the feature set is matured. I went through 4 living room TVs to seetle on my current C9. I don't plan to make the same mistake with 8K. Sony's new mini led is already 1:1 with the best OLEDs it looks like. The issue with mini led is that quality for black levels will vary greatly between brands/models, so, right now at least, Sony's is king (and by a lot) compared with other mini led (except maybe ASUS's mini led monitor). 5 minutes ago, Mr.Vic20 said: Also, it need to *only* be 65", as anything larger is silly for my arrangement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, QD-OLED is currently limited to 65" I was going to get 65” likely anyway until I jump to 8k! Maybe 75”, but I bet they have those next year. LED is still brighter, but it seems like it could be as close as we can get to best of both worlds. But I will have to see what next years models look like.

Watch that Sony review I posted, high-end Mini LED seems to be the best as the amount of blooming in dark scenes is the same that OLED has (unnoticeable unless you shove your face against the TV). There's no "best of both worlds", just "best" here I think the only downside with Sony is that it uses AndroidOS/AndroidTV for the built-in functions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don’t mind paying extra for a Sony. Though I’m not going to dive too deep in before I plan to actually buy one because who knows what next year looks like! Actually I’d go Sony for QD-Oled so it’ll probably just be between whatever Sony QD-Oled and mini led‘s look good. I will say when I saw the X95k in person I thought it WAS the QD-oled one at first, so that makes sense that the black levels are that good! Maybe actually the X95k on sale as it’s being replaced next year is a possibility too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always used sites where you pick out parts then pay and they build it or this one I paid my Dad to do it. I’m not good with my hands with that sorta thing and don’t trust myself at all.

Zaku3 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I had so many spare parts of AM4 over the weekend but I sent it to be recycled to just get it out of the house figuring no one would want it. I'll mkae a note to ask on this board if any of my IRL don't want the parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that bad. I had a pretty long hiatus and I still was able to build a working machine. (think it was like a 4 year period post HS or something without building one) Though I think that might be a good option for me in the future. My hands feel 36 years old and I need to start making a conscious decision to prioritize other hobbies. I won't be able to paint and build models or terrain sooner then I won't be able to play video games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea that the Pc is built, tested and backed by a 2 year warranty. Once I get it, I plug in and download Steam. It will be very console like experience which I like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a 2080ti right? I’d honestly skip the 3000’s and just wait and get a 4000 later when prices drop or hold out for 5000 which I imagine will be the more reasonably priced line in comparison. Paying a lot of money and not getting dlss3 now, idk. Otherwise, I do have a 3080 I’m putting in ebay and could sell for $500/shipping, I think that’s less than they go for on ebay. But I’d probably wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're going for $800 + shipping on average on eBay, but I'd do less if you'd want it since I won't get hit with the stupid ass eBay fees But, like Stepee said, you may be better off just grabbing a 4080 when they come out next month. 100% up to you, my guy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PC still kicks ass, I'm blown away by the 40 series benchmarks so far. WOW JUST WOW! I was just seeing if anyone had a 3090/3090ti they'd sell cheapish I might jump as a placeholder. I'll need everything when I do a 40series build. I'm still rocking the i79700k / 2080ti combo and it's a really great gaming pc. I just want a 4090 and I know it'll be at least next year around march'ish! Hoping I can just gift me current PC to my son who is struggling with some tough times as of late. Oh well next year. I wish personally I could wait till the 50 series but I know that will never happen. My NZXT h700i case will easily fit these new cards but I'll be using a new case too next build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardAct Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Just to add a 4090 minimum i'd need a new power supply {on Corsair 750 platinum now} of 850W and them could build around it down the road. The thing would bottleneck everything I have....lol My NZXT700i case can hold a card of at least 16 inches though.

stepee Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Mine is from zotac directly and says processing still. My paypal was charged but they didn’t take out or my bank yet, so I’m hoping that’s not a bad sign. Idk if that’s because zotac didn’t fully charge yet or if paypal didn’t process yet tho.
