Not overkill, go for it.

Which ultimately is the only thing that matters.

From a forum full of big-headed nerds with strong opinions and an engineer complex like most of us are, not starting a war was probably too much to ask for. :nutkick:

Exactly. All this paranoid stressing takes the joy from owning an OLED. If you don't want to deal with any of this just get yourself a decent LCD panel. It's not worth buying expensive technology if it's gonna bring you more worries than pleasure.

What I did for my OLED monitor: - set 100% black image as screensaver and set it to 2 minutes - use it as usual - not worry at all - i'll replace it when the time comes I suggest that @RejZoR stops visiting the TPU forums altogether, as the static banners at the top of the screen might end up...

That's why I'm here asking. Not everybody is as experienced as you are.

Tysm for the insight!

Samsung Galaxy M31. I bought it January 2021 for about 200€. Cheap, low to mid range phone so it checks out. Picture quality is excellent, but it does have burn-in.

I think the opposite of that is usually true, my laptop has a 14" (16:10) screen, my desktop monitor is a 27" (16:9) screen. There's much, much more screen real state on the larger screen, a slightly higher aspect ratio doesn't come close to making up for it. I'm thinking of the same approach...

I don't know about shekels but if it's cheaper and has what you look for, sure go for it.

I think what he said is too simplistic and misleading, especially if told to someone unfamiliar with the matter. It all depends on the use case. An X3D chip with 8 cores will perform better than 12 regular cores at gaming. Even the R9 9900X3D with 12 cores performs way worse than the R7 9800X3D...

Sure, go ahead. I'm happy to help. If it's something general and not too private it's better to discuss it publicly though, so that anyone finding this topic may benefit from the conversation.

I can't be bothered. Both my laptop and desktop displays are OLED and I've tried, but no way I'm using my computer like that. I'd rather have it burnt in like a livestock brand than having to place my mouse at the bottom of the screen for the taskbar to show.

In that case you don't really need a 9800X3D. But then again, if your budget allows and you plan your rig to last for a whole 10 years, aiming for the best you can buy (without going crazy or paying scalper prices) is your best option. 1. There's no simple way of telling, but as rule of thumb...

This is also a sensible take. Issue here is we don't really know what @MightyNerdy93 means by "light gaming". For gaming, the 9800X3D is definitely better. Now if you just play some casual, not very demanding games, and your focus really is in the potential production tasks you plan on doing, a...
