How do you deal with monitor ghosting?I have three LCD monitors and the smearing is really annoying. My VA panel has good colors and gets to 180Hz but the ghosting is literally painful to the eyes. The IPS has weaker colors but the ghosting isn't as bad. This problem varies with the games, so I guess it's about optimization. The LCD technology really sucks and I guess the only way to fix this problem is to buy an OLED but I don't have much money and I have a budget PC build. I will buy a better monitor when I will have the money. I could also sell the monitors I have but I never sold stuff on Ebay or any other online market place.Why did plasma monitors disappear?Also is it worth it to pass to Windows 11 if I debloat it? I have Windows 10 but it's on an SSD with 100% active time error so it runs like shit. Where can I download Windows 11 for free? I like debloated Windows and I don't care about much Linux but I am still interested in these operating systems. What will I lose if I pass from Windows to Linux? What's the best distro? I use PC to play games for the most part. I really just want to play games instead of dealing with this stuff.
By doing researchLook up the KTC mini-LED. No actual model name, but their 27" 1440p screen gets decent HDR and minimal ghosting for a good price compared to the competition.
>>747637183OLEDs are finally cheap, 1440p 27" ones at least.There are also LCDs with pulsar if you care about motion clarity but those are even more expensive than OLEDs.Also /v/ is wrong place to ask this questions, too many retards here.t. retard
>>747637183>Also is it worth it to pass to Windows 11 if I debloat it?Only if you play anything that requires Windows 11>Where can I download Windows 11 for free?First time on the internet? Jesus.>What will I lose if I pass from Windows to Linux?Plug and play. Windows still gets these issues but very rarely, but Linux is still in the age of "1 in 10 non-mainstream games require tweaking to get working perfectly" which leads to you looking up the answers someone has already figured out.Some production software is incompatible, such as art programs and video editors.>What's the best distro?Nobody will give you the same answer on this, but the future looks like Arch and the two big Arch distros are Bazzite for retards, and Cachy for retards with a drop of confidence.
I have one (1) 240Hz VA(?) on Linux and I'm perfectly fine with this. I don't get the multi monitor obsession when you can just alt tab.
>>747637183>Why did plasma monitors disappear?They're expensive to produce.
>>747637696They were also significantly brighter than CRTs so the phosphor burn-in was accelerated greatly.
How much of a difference does 1440 have from 1080?
>>747637586I used to think and still think that multi-monitor is a somewhat unnecessary luxury for gaming and leisure use (although it’s not that expensive anymore either), but I would have roped myself if I had to write my master’s degree with one regular 27-inch monitor. It saves so much time and annoyance when you can keep your thesis, notes and multiple sources visible at the same time.
>>747637183Monitors have never been this good, there's finally some real progress.IPS panels have relatively good response times, we're also getting monitors with black frame insertion that works with variable refresh rate.27" 1440p OLED is becoming affordable, though right now the lowest end ones are not recommended since they have middling brightness. >>747637971For games it's quite a noticeable jump, but the real upgrade is in desktop use.1080p is becoming unusable these days, modern software UI and websites have so much padding that you simply can't fit enough content on the screen.
>>747637183>How do you deal with monitor ghosting?It hasn't bothered me post-2009, when I upgraded from a ~12ms 5:4 flat-screen to a 16:10 5ms BenQ.Currently on a 100hz 4ms Philips.Also, shittons of "ghosting" these days are caused by Unreal Engine 5 visual slop and TAA.>Also is it worth it to pass to Windows 11 if I debloat it?FUCK NO.I hesistantly """upgraded""" from Windows 7 to the W10 IOT LTSC Enterprise edition 2H21 back in 2024, out of work-related necessities. It's quite tolerable with the cracks and hacks (OOSU10 + Open Shell), but I still miss my oldschool, "offline" DESKTOP operating system.When this bad boy becomes obsolete (it still gets security updates up to 2032), I've probably been daily driving a Linux distro for a while.>What will I lose if I pass from Windows to Linux?You will only GAIN more freedom and options. Most likely, you'll be overwhelmed by the selection and choices, double so if you've been a modern Windows babby all your life.Most hardware drivers are built into Linux's system itself.The system requirements of an average Linux release are a tiny fraction of that of Wee10-11, as are the memory and CPU usage... meaning even your 15yo wormbox hidden in the closet might actually start working once more.>What's the best distro?There's no one-size-fits-all Linux solution, because every distro is made by a different group or individual, to fit their specific need.If you want a soft landing to Leenux universe, just grab the latest Linux Mint. That's what I started with years ago. It's essentially "Ubuntu", but with a very Windows-like UI. It "just works" for most people, period.Most of the stuff, such as system updates and software installation, can also be graphically in Mint, by clicking buttons on visual applications, which I know will make it easier to adjust to the Team Penguin world than learning to type commands into the terminal (which you'll get to eventually).
I wish plasmas were refined and improved on like lcds I just got a plasma not too long ago and it shits on both my tv and monitor when it comes to blacks and motion clarity but loses on resolution
>>747637183>Why did plasma monitors disappear?Because they last too long for Capitalism to tolerate. >t. Still have two 15-year old plasmas that haven't skipped a beat
>>747637342The model is M27T6, avoid the cheaper ones
>>747638594Colors and motion > resolution.It's just pathetic how corpos are trying to push the 4K maymay, when the average streaming service compresses and down-samples their footage into garbage that loses even to DVDs, while the modern games look like utter shit thanks to mandatory upscaling and framegen.I recently dug out my old HD-Ready 720p flat screen TV from ~2007, and I was shocked how crisp and deep its image quality was. Even the PS2 era games looked fine on it, thanks to minimal upscaling from 480 + those deep blacks. And with zero image processing to even joke about, the input lag was pure zero.
>>747638925I watched my brother game on his console setup and it hurt to watchthe visible juttering and shit mute colors was horrid I swear its like they just don't know what motion clarity is or even want to try to improve upon it
>>747637342>mini-LEDIs this a monitor type that is free of ghosting?
>>747638901>M27T6This is va which is the technology with the most monitor ghosting.
>>747639589>I swear its like they just don't know what motion clarity is or even want to try to improve upon itThey don't. We gotta remember that kids born in 2006 are now 20yo, and quite literally grew up playing upscaled cancer-gen console trash.Hell, I got a headache from the fugly as hell, noisy Screen Space Reflections in the RE2 remake already, but my Piss4-only gaming friend hadn't even registered it. "I thought it was just a reflection, bruh!". Clearly they've never seen the post Half-Life 2 era planar reflections, and thus fall for the Ray-Tracing meme to boot.And now that sort of shit is in everything that runs UE5 or RE-engine.
>>747638925This is why I like OLED and why I pirate 50-70GB BD remux versions of films. I pay for gigabit internet, I've got 3x16TB drives in my home server, I'm not paying Netflix to stream youtube-quality films. >>747639637No, mini-LED is the marketing term for a monitor that has individually addressable LEDs for the backlight. It can improve the contrast, but comes with its own downsides such as haloing around small bright objects on a dark background i.e. a mouse cursor. It has no relation on response time - that depends on the panel, or input lag which is the response time + however long the display takes to process the input.
>>747641048>50-70GB BD remux versions of films.Absolutely fucking insane waste of space.An average 10-bit HEVC video with OPUS audio tracks could cramp all that into a sub-1GB video file, with barely any effect on the average image quality.
>>747637183Many questions here I'll try to answer from my own perspective. Hoping it can help.>How do you deal with monitor ghosting?There should be an overdrive mode you shouls be able to tweak while using the "UFO test".I used to experience a tiny bit of ghosting that I used the overdrive mode to fix, until I switched to Display Port (so, maxed out the refresh rate) and calibrated the monitor properly with the help of a YouTube review. Now I don't have to use the overdrive anymore.>Why did plasma monitors disappear?Lots of reasons that make it a terrible technology compared to LCD, LED and even CRT.>Also is it worth it to pass to Windows 11 if I debloat it?Honestly, you either switch to Linux and deal with it like a big boy, but if you debloat your Win11 with Rufus for example I won't shill Linux here, like... If you need it, want it, *pffft* why not.>Where can I download Windows 11 for free?On the Microsoft website, you can dowload an .iso and you can buy a license for less than ten bucks on reseller sites (I don't advise running it without a key, and I don't advise buying it at full price because it's absurdly expensive).>What will I lose if I pass from Windows to Linux? What's the best distro?Depends what you do, what you want, what you need. You don't lose much but it can take a bit of effort to run Windows-native games on it.In my opinion, because I do a bit of content creation, I prefer CachyOS. But if you wanna just play I guess Bazzite is the way to go, or even Nobara. Even Mint actually. But I advise you search for info yourself if you're ready to make the step.>I just wanna play games.We all do, buddy. No pain - no gain.
>>7476416651gigs 4k good quality average film on hevc? Don't even think av1 would be good enough to hit that file sizeWhat in the axxo
>>7476420004K legit adds nothing to film. Double so from the average viewing distances.
>>747642075>Low bitrate 1080pAyo dis nigga blind+ tiny display + shit tv
>>747641665>Absolutely fucking insane waste of space.The point is I don't care, did you read the rest of my post?I've got fast internet so even 70gb takes a few minutes to download, you don't even need to download the whole film to start playing it thanks to sequential downloading. I've loads of space, so that's not an issue either. Remux releases are 1:1 copies of the video from the blu-ray disc with no additional re-encoding. >>747642075Yes, it does.
