it's 1000 nits peak brightness actually. HDR 600 true black is 600 nits, so it's almost half the HDR 1000. the reason the true black mode may look brighter is because the ABL trigger easily than the HDR 1000, and this goes to almost every OLED screen, including TV; but if you set it to the HDR 1000 mode + dolby vision: bright when watching content with actual DV, you will see the difference like HDR 600 will be blown out on some very bright scenes.

I suck at League of legends but I will try to include that on future videos lol

I actually have one right here: th-cam.com/video/ye3dpKIGe8g/w-d-xo.html But I may do another review as that one is mostly unboxing.

Yes, you are correct. they're both digital output so it will be the same; The only thing that might separate it is if your DAC supports difference Signals for the optical and USB but it's really negligible. Use whichever is more convenient. I have to connect my DAC to a USB Switcher for different devices (macOS, Windows, Linux) so I use USB port.

thank you for the feedback. I'll put that into consideration. need them to improve my videos more

@ you’re 90% there. Don’t hesitate to retake a shot, it’s all part of the process.

@@Cary_mac thanks. I'll put that in mind

Thanks! Yeah, I keep telling myself to ignore the misspelled words but the OCD in me keeps backspacing lol

Hey, that's a good question: It's an 8-Port Non-RAID Sata 3 to M.2 adapter. Use my referral link on the description if you don't mind or this: geni.us/w1mQ ; if you ever decide to buy.

LOL! You're right, I need to change the title. I was initially trying to rebuild my unraid server with all old parts from my old PC but ended up digging a rabbit hole and buying parts to record on OBS Studio NDI Plugin.

Hi, Thanks for the feedback. I"m working on minimizing too many fillers (uhms, so, etc) to minimize too many jump cuts.

@@lcadigitalmediaI appreciate the thought, but you annunciate very well and get your point across. I’d much rather have the ums and pauses. Good content brother, just need to reduce cuts to increase focus/watch time.

@@OptimisedTutorials thanks, I'll put that into consideration. You're right, maybe less jump cuts with a few "uhm" and brain fog pauses isn't too bad.

I hear you. thanks for the feedback. working on minimizing my "uhms" and/or forgetting what I was going to say.

I will keep that in mind, and lower the music a bit :D Thanks for the feedback

No, they don't; the first GPU with AV1 is the RTX 4000 series.

that's a good quesiton. Unfortunately, I dont have any console, so I may not be able to answer you on that.

No flickering, I connected this model to a base ps5 and it works perfectly. Only thing you might need to, is play with the calibration settings for hdr because it has lower brightness compared to ips screens.

@@MrMarbles nice! good to know!

I can totally relate lol

Title probably should say parts I had laying around.

how are you liking it so far?

nice! yeah, it's a good portable game player. Xmas is around the corner, I'd wait to see if there are any sale/promotions.

Yeah, you're right. Should've reviewed the OLED Version

@lcadigitalmedia sorry for the capital typing and The criticism. You're doing a great job man. Your video presentation was on point. I was just confused who would unbox an oled instead of regular. Turns out some people just prefer comfort gaming rather than punchy colors. Silly me! 😔

Just one thing, videos need colour calibration

@@organiceffect no worries! I prefer the criticism/feedback so I can improve what's lacking on my videos. Oh Trust me, I prefer OLED Screens, I use an OLED Monitor and watch on an OLED TV.

thanks. I'll put that in mind.

Wow, that's awesome! I'm glad you like my videos. I'm always trying to improve my content and make it more engaging!

OMG, that's a huge jump! Congratz!

That is indeed correct! with all the transient spikes of higher end GPUs, I wouldn't anything less than 1000w Platinum, especially the rtx 80s/90s series

Damn! that's a great deal! Congratz, you'll love it, but at the same you'll be spoiled and won't like any regular IPS monitor anymore lol> Make sure to update the firmware though coz windows 11 Dolby Atmos implementation right now is still buggy (flicker)

@lcadigitalmedia Thanks! I'll be sure to update the firmware (using Windows 10 still :). I was also looking at the LG C4 42" TV as a monitor but felt it would be too big on my desk with my view distance. I'm upgrading from an LG 27" 1440p 144 Hz IPS monitor.

You're welcome. Nah, 42" is way too big. the 32" is already a bit big for competitive games, you have to move your head to look at corner maps and miss the enemey when playing FPS games.

sorry to hear that, care to explain (more) why? how did you try to do it?

I might have had the wrong flash drive. I know I renamed the file. The next motherboard I get I will have to try it again.

is your flashdrive USB 3 by any chance? most of the flash bios need the USB 2, and is on the USB 2.0 header. USB 3.x for some reason isn't the great for the lowest level data and heats up, as per experience with running an Unraid Server. You also need to format it to FAT32, not NTFS

Interesting, I never really checked that but they are on a stand after recording that video. thanks for the tip, I thought only the front speakers have the upfiring ones, that makes sense now, why it sounds from above on movies from behind.

That's what I thought! it's not really "Curved" like other monitors.

Good quesiton! There's really not a big cooling difference between an AIO and an aftermarket Air Cooler, especially Noctua's Air Coolers. The only advantage an AIO has over Air is 1) Aesthetics, and 2) longer sustain, that's it. to be able to maximize the "Longer Sustain" on the AIO, you'd need to be video editing and rendering videos that takes 2 - 8hrs. For games, CPU usage is just around 40% - 60% give or take, so you don't really gain a lot on an AIO, except cosmetics.

Nice! for gaming, the X3D is a game changer, and there's not much performance difference really between the 7600X3D and 9800X3D TBH.

@ at first, i buy 76 then 78 2 days later and i see less than 5% in dota. Keep the 76 and still have reason to upgrade to 98, if i buy 78 maybe it can stick for a long time

@@KienLe-fb7xg yeah, depending on the prices right now, it may be more logical to buy the 98 instead of 78x3d but only if you really want to as it's not really much needed at the moment unless you really want 500fps all the time and have the monitor to handle it.

Dude LOL for dota2?????? That game has a max FPS of 240 anyways LOL

@@nimaahmadi-s7o i doubt you don’t have 240hz monitor or more

Yeah, that would be a good idea. I don't know why they don't 'include that since it's bluetooth connected and clearly syncs up the volume and all; Especially when it's around $300

Yes I do, and am still using it! I haven't really thought about adding more surround speakers as I live in NYC Apartment and NYC apts are tiny :D but it would be nice to do that in the future.

@lcadigitalmedia This going to a 2 part message. I too live in a small apartment. You have options to do a speaker swap or add speakers. Vizio gives you 1 way speakers. There good but they are lacking. Until I put in my Insignia 2 way speakers I had no idea how bad. Like adding 2 exhaust pipes. This isn't to make your room louder this is to get to be better at Dolby Atmos. So youtubue videos you get the narrator on the sound bar. With 2 way or e way speakers that background music will play more clearly and be on separate surround channels. You have speaker cable and adapter options on how you would like your set connected.

@@scottivlow9962 oh yes for sure, the 2 extra speakers are definiteliy better. My family's house has 7.1 insatlled on the ceiling and all, and it's a more complete surround sound.

@@lcadigitalmedia Here is part 2 that got deleted when my switched to wifi. I'm not going to buy this or that. So you have brands from Insignia, Acoustic Audio,DPI,and Dual. For the cheap price even though I didn't buy them for under $40 you can get 2 way speakers from Goldwood. You only need 7" Indoor Outdoor Bookshelf speakers and the RCA Y connectors. Vizio included an excellent Class D amps in the subwoofer that subs can handle 4 speakers and 2 at 6 ohms. I have 2 3 Way DPI. I don't know how much care about getting the best out of midrange if you do go with 3 way speakers. Like you will get so much better sound separation from youtube with background music to where you hear it in the surround loud speakers that doesn't get pickup in the 1 way speakers. You get some good decent bass when it's needed. On Amazon you can buy cheap and small isolation pads and you can buy a good size one for your sub so that it's off the floor won't cause major floor vibrations. A month ago I didn't know they existed because I was using cardboard. I also have a pair Insignia 2 way bookshelf I/O speakers that I got from Best Buy. The quality is very high and the sound is as natural as they can be, they sell for $50. You don't need big 10" expensive speakers you just need a pair of small ones for better surround sound than what you have from Vizio. That said you can still pair them, sometimes they compliment the sound with the loud speakers. No matter the brand you have choices and you don't have to go so big on speaker size either. On your Vizio remote you can control the audio level on them too. You don't have to copy me but on Amazon I bought isolation pads for the soundbar also. So it's like resting on air. Is it considered snake oil? Yes Is it worth doing for under $15.00 For me yes but I'm not going to say that this is right for you because it won't change the sound by even a db. I can tell you on 3 way speakers there are not many brand options. Moukey has a brand I was going to buy but you can't get them new from a good retail with shipping included, This why I can tell you about Goldwood. To me the Dual speakers are ugly. I like clean straight lines and boxy speakers. Monoprice your going to pay more and you will need to bi wire them. There made for big amplifiers but they have upfiring speakers. I wanted to tell you this because speaker boxes don't say great for sound bar surround speakers. Or great replacement speakers for surround sound bar speakers.

you're right! :D

m4 mac mini base model is 16GB RAM now finallyi

1st) base model is 16GB RAM. 2nd) for games, yes, the Ryzen build would be better; for content creation, definitely not. The M4 Mac Mini can edit 4K/8K HDR videos very smoothly, and no lag. I have a Ryzen 5950X + Nitro+ 6900 XT SE to Video edit and render on 4K HDR it's just about the same performance but sometimes it still lags a bit, and it is a $5K rig, compared to a $500 tiny computer. Not to mention the power usage on M4 Mac Mini is around 60W while my Ryzen 5950X Rig is around 400-500W when video editing. I actually recently just have built and reviewed the Ryzen 9800X3D and it's very fast for gaming, but for anything else, the M4 Mac Mini smokes it. Not even close for anything other than gaming.

nice! that's awesome! it really is a good investment, not even close to any PC of the price point.

Ottimo prezzo posso chiederti dove lo hai preso?

@@raffaeleb5202 sul sito DELL Italia

good question: The Q5 Max is the successor to the Q5 Pro and offers several upgrades. It includes 2.4GHz RF connectivity alongside Bluetooth and wired options, improved sound dampening foam, better gaskets (though this affects compatibility with Q5 Pro plates), a larger processor storage (256KB vs. 128KB) for more complex macros or firmware customizations, and unique factory colorways. The Q5 Pro will likely be phased out once stock runs out.

good suggestion! so far I'm happy with the sennheiser for my youtube reviews; I will probably use that with the Rode Mic for my desktop stream/recording

hey, I graduated computer science and did programming and web development back in the day but haven't really done real professional programming for some time now. I'm still doing web dev stuff, php, wordpress, etc. Running and maintain AWS but nothing like real programming stuff now-a-days.

Thanks! Appreciate it. for surfing, watching/streaming videos, mac mini is a way better value; and especially when you're into video editing, doing work/business, the mac mini is just geared and optimized towards productivity and content creation.

That's awesome! Yup, the Alienware is almost perfect; if they can get the Dolby Vision working, mainly Microsoft's fault (win 11 issue), then this would be the perfect 1000nit OLED Monitor for the price IMHO.

Nice! That's awesome! And yeah, 1440P Retina is the best resolution real estate for macOS. I'm curious though why you'd want to disable HDR and VRR?

@@lcadigitalmedia Depending on what you're viewing, HDR may actually flatten the colors. And the VRR off may help with frame rate flickering. Just what I've read.

@@HeyNiagraFalls Interesting. I think that mostly comes from being this Monitor is only HDR600. I have HDR on all the time on my Dell AW3225QF, but this has 1000nits, which maps out the HDR color range properly, especially on macOS. I'm not sure about the frame rate flickering on the VRR though.

Yeah buddy, I couldn't resist at that price, The color and pixel response is next level.

@@necro4468 are you kidding me? that's a no brainer!

Depending on how bright your ceiling light is (in lumens), it's not really a problem. HDR600 generally is bright when in front of the monitor all the time, normal SDR is around 300nits, so 600nits is double. Just not the 1000nits that the Dell Alienware is outputting.

And a lot more expensive

I'm not sure how much that benefits everyone but it's interesting how it can help pro players

Thanks! glad you like it

Yeah, I Agree. That one is more of a gimmick IMHO.

@@lcadigitalmedia it is actually possible to change the zoom if you install the alienware command center

@@ZorlacSkater yup! I installed that, but never really messed with it.

Indeed it is! First time my friends and clients saw my video moving with me, they were amazed and scared at the same time lol

Hey, not entirely sure about your question but I assume you're asking where to plug the PCI-E Power Cables from the GPU to the PSU. It should be the PCI-E ports, which is 8-ping (6+2), you won't be able to miss it or plug it incorrectly.

@@lcadigitalmedia thanks. Sorry for the poorly worded question. Impressed you answered it perfectly!

@@JBoy340a no worries! and I meant 8-prong not ping lol.
