The tricky part with HDR is that getting lots of backlight dimming zones is harder the smaller the display is — not trivial to do right on a TV, expensive to do on a monitor. IPS LCD panels typically have bad light bleed too
QD-OLED has per pixel dimming so it’ll be better but it’s too expensive now
+1 for 1440p/27” though, good Goldilocks combination
this was massively helpful, ta
I got a 4k Samsung UR55 from best buy for $250. It comes down to that price fairly often. I don’t know “how good” it looks but it did give me the screen real estate and that screen real estate is definitely worth it. If your running Mac you will need rectangles though. Managing window sizes is very annoying without it.
Hall effect replacement sticks for Steam Deck

Are somehow they better in normal use or do they just not wear out?
theoretically perfect accuracy whereas pots will come from the factory calibrated to account for mechanical variances but I’m sure I couldn’t tell in practice
I’m just into the Vita and Dreamcast hardware and excited for someone to be making these at all
my response to these is the same as when I first saw them: until they are a complete drop-in replacement and I don’t have to desolder the capacitive thumbpads from the OEM sticks, they might as well not even exist
no I’ve never glassed over multiple fingertips while soldering, how could you accuse me of such a thing
wait are the Vita sticks supposed to be Hall effect? my left stick is starting to wobble on its own and I thought that would be implausible with those…
well huh I can’t find a cite for it in a cursory search but I learned talking to a hardware modder the 1000 series has ‘em. could be wrong!
ohhhh that might be it, the 2000 probably doesn’t
I feel like there’s no such thing as a perfect hardware revision of a Sony console
the 1000 Vita’s have hall effect sticks but the mechanism is so slight that you can induce drift or wobble in it if you bust the bit that makes it center
much like how you can break the Dreamcast’s stick by snapping one of the plastic boundary indicators in the assembly
Pots can have like a +/-20% tolerance but if you account for maximum tolerance variance in your calibration you can cancel it out and then it doesn’t matter.
Hall effect is better because its less susceptible to dirt and wear from the wiper friction over time. It starts at like +/-1% tolerance.
I don’t think Ive never had a controller get noisey over time. Ive had sticks wander but its always from loose worn mechanical parts. Ive had pots in like tools and audio gear get noisy however. I think a pot that doesn’t move enough is more often an issue.
why did I think getting my xbox controller to work on the macbook would be a simple thing.
I rue the day I got this thing
can I make it up to you with a private tracker invite
where to
what do you think would be appropriate for the emotion you’re feeling toward the macbook
usb is a headache but I got mine to work on bluetooth without config when I tested xcloud and moonlight fwiw
someday, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me
I got it connected through bluetooth but the buttons didn’t respond in retroarch. it’s a series 2 elite. tried looking it up and just found a bunch of people complaining that specific controller doesn’t work except maybe in steam if you go through some rigamarole. also still getting occasional video stuttering, consistently no matter the size of the video file, and looking that up just found a bunch of people saying these things just do that on external displays and it’s never been fixed. great. just great. the handful of things I wanted this for and it has problems with all of them.
