Thoughts on HDR & OLED

That smoothing effect that bothers you, and many others, can almost always be turned off entirely. I know for certain it can on the LG OLEDs. My LG OLED blows me away every time I see it, especially dark scenes. The first time the picture went black, I thought the TV turned off. I can't...

Photoshop fun: Total calories displayed on packaging

I really hope the new nutrition label requirements coming up fix the joke of serving sizes. My wife bought this "healthy" granola cereal. 200 cals per serving. But wait, 1 serving is 1/4 cup? Most people have no idea how absolutely tiny 1/4 cup of cereal really is. Or a loaf of bread...

Getting the screens probably isn't going to be the problem. Getting the GPU power to run two 4k screens at 90fps is.

Best way to reduce lower belly fat?

But does it? If you do both activities at the same level heart rate I would imagine the difference to be negligible. I think it's just a lot easier to put in less effort while cycling and not realize it. Especially outdoors. Also his comment came off to me as the physical impact of your...

Best way to reduce lower belly fat?

This is crazy talk. If you burn 500 calories cycling vs. 500 calories running, it will have the same effect on your weight loss. Jiggle your fat around all you want, it won't go away any faster... If you aren't losing weight you are eating >= TDEE You may be at your ideal weight for your...

Had a few disconnects at first but then played for about 2 hours without a problem. Not really sure I like the game though. It's very polished and all, but I wasn't really having much fun.

So, are we saying VR crapped the bed already?

The screens don't feel 2" away from your eyes because of the lenses. Once you have the headset on you really lose any sense at all that a screen is that close to your eyes. You can share with a spouse, friends, kids. It's actually more fun with them. They can watch everything you do on the...

The Climb is decent but not worth the $50 they are charging. The gameplay is OK with a gamepad, but it's very disconnecting and immersion breaking compared to Vive games that use motion controls. I've completed about half the climbs, and it doesn't really pull me to play more. You unlock...

Works fine. If I leave both plugged in then SteamVR seems to have a problem deciding which one to use and shows only one lighthouse and one constellation, so I generally just leave 1 plugged in at a time (HDMI only, leaving the USB connected seems to cause no problem)

You might regret cancelling that Rift. I am lucky enough to have both and imo the Rift is the better HMD. Not only is it far more comfortable, but it has a very large "sweet spot". The overall display is a lot sharper in comparison to the Vive. No matter how I adjust the Vive, the areas...

Broadwell-E

Which is when? It could be months yet, not to mention actually getting your hands on one when they do release.. If you need/want a new PC, just order your X99 setup now. You can always replace the CPU later. I really don't think any mobo refresh is going to have such new features that you wish...

It's not as they show it, but you can watch them on your monitor while they play. I had a lot of fun watching my daughter play and talking to her about what she was doing, even though I couldn't wait to play myself. So it can be a family experience in a way.

Game actually looks very nice with visuals cranked up but yeah performance is poor. It's far better than when it started though, at least for Nvidia cards, so there is hope. Honestly though the gameplay is so fun that even with the bad performance and server lag its still worth the money...

I think so. They have said they are waiting for DX12 before they add SLI, for some reason. Plus they are very active with very frequent updates.

GTX 980Ti finally launched - MSRP $649 - Reviews

Those temps aren't very good for the ACX 2.0. I'm getting very similar temps in SLI and reference cards, overclocked to just around 1300 with the default fan curve. It's probably your case.

Very nice! I have an '09 R/T. I sometimes get the want to trade it in for a newer year or an SRT, but my lifetime warranty keeps telling me no. Plus I think my favorite thing about the car is the looks, which really haven't changed much.
