Can consider 48" C1, I could get it done to around RM3567 with laz bonus and free shipping. Very tempted to get it as a monitor. drool.gif

I was eyeing for 48" as monitor, but last min butt itchy went and bought 55". now damn regret. I can't find any place to put it. Cannot use as monitor anymore.  bangwall.gif

Your eyes will need a lot of adjusting, might need to sit further away haha. 55 for monitor a bit way too big imo

No Day 1 1st party, no thanks. At the rate I'm holding off getting new releases on my PS5, it'll just be a glorified dust collecting white tower.

Yes, my PS5 has been collecting massive amount of dust. lol

Gamepass has been keeping me busy.

I remember firing up "Secret of Monkey Island" on my old EGA-graphics color palette IBM clone PC in the 90s. Every other playthrough after that, was on ScummVM. Then "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge".

Any "Monkey Island" game not written by Ron Gilbert does not interest me. Therefore no "Monkey Island" game existed after "LeChuck's Revenge" as far as I'm concerned.

Please be good.

I thought curse of the monkey island was quite an alright game. tongue.gif

I didn't finish Escape from monkey island though.

Xbox is recovering after the second of two outages this weekend

For some European users, outage has been  3 days.

Meanwhile, not a peep here in Asia. Nor North America. Winnar?

I didnt even notice anything. All I did last weekend was having an ISF calibrator buddy over to do my C1 calibration. SD content from Youtube or other streaming services, HDR content from movies/tv shows and games, and everything in between. It's nice to have like-minded people over who speaks the same language. Me and Vincent Teoh of HDTVTest would click instantly in a snap of the finger. :lol2:

We did ran Dirt 5 and FH5 as calibration source, those loaded fine. No outage here in Asia. Or if XBOX DRM is tied to the account's region, no outage on my US XBOX region account.

Happy unexpected side-effect of the calibration process? ARC now works reliably now between my 7 years old AVR and my C1. ARC only ya, not eARC. Need eARC to get the meatier lossless audio formats off the consoles and PC. ARC still gets me DD5.1 and most importantly for gaming, Dolby Atmos.

Asked the calibrator what he thinks about the Sharc eARC device that's arriving very soon (tracking shows to be in Singapore, arrived this morning from Cincinati,OH), he's interested to hear how it works on my old AVR once it's integrated into the setup. According to him, there've been spotty companies like Arcana with "eARC audio extractor" device, that works intermittently, or work at lower bitrate depth, so he's crossing his fingers for my Sharc eARC. But he agreed on my call to not invest in any HDMI2.1 AVR now, not until AVR makers get their shit together. Not to mention get enough stock to cover niche interest like these locally. All in all, an insightful, learning experience last weekend seeing a professional at work.

Nice, which colorimeter did he use ? How’s the gamma pre and post calibration for C1? Color temp ?

Sorry I know this is not TV thread but since you brought it up so I just ask here.

Got myself one of these today: SHARC-V2 8K eARC Processor.

Got tired of playing "toggle on-and-off- then PRAY" with the ARC port on my 7 years old AVR. With this, any/every port on your old AVR is an eARC port.

Beats spending MYR4K upwards for a new HDMI 2.1 VRR-compliant AVR available. With the STILL EVOLVING standards of HDMI2.1 and AVR makers still lagging behind in implementing the full suite of HDMI2.1 features on their new AVRs (VRR, ALLM, QFT, 4K120 with working HDR10 and Dolby Vision tone mapping, off the top of my head), some are still struggling with 4K120 without f**king up image quality, or HDR tone mapping, dont even expect VRR to be implemented on them until they clear their current docket.

All my HDMI2.1 devices (XSX, PS5 and PC with RTX3080Ti) goes first into the LG C1. At least those four HDMI2.1 ports have their features fully implemented on LG C1's four HDMI ports. To get all the lossless audio from those HDMI devices mentioned earlier, is a matter of getting eARC into the old AVR, and problems solved. The old AVR supports ARC, so I can still get lossy formats like DD5.1, DTS:X and Dolby Atmos, but the implementation of ARC on this 6 year old AVR is so flaky, that pumping two Atmos and a DD5.1 audio bitstreams in tandem from the XSX, PS5 and the PC together (what happened today while I was calibrating my C1 for better IQ), just messed up the logic circuit in the AVR, it no longer reliably does ARC, sometimes it works, sometimes it cuts off. Let see if the SHARC V2 8K can finally stop all nonsense.

Already on the plane 4 hours ago out of Boca Raton, FL to Cincinati, OH. More stopovers before it reaches this side of the world. Should be here in 3-4 days.

Let me know if this will resolve the Dolby Atmos lag issue for LG OLED TVs.

Trek to Yumi

Loving it so far, it's a beautiful love letter to Akira Kurosawa

Can't stop playing it, keep on "I'll stop at next shrine" then look at clock and "oh shit, tomorrow this morning back to work liao" laugh.gif

for those can read Chinese but can't understand Japs, I strongly recommend to play it in Chinese, it's a lot more authentic experience compared to English as some are lost in translation.

Just tried it out last night. The monochromatic presentation and the gameplay is nice.

Same, I kept telling myself that I will stop at the next shrine but it is just so addicting.

Anyways, for LG OLED users, did you receive a disclaimer under the "4K TV details" for dolby vision gaming, "Your TV supports 4K 120hz DV gaming but may experience increased input latency when this feature is enabled". This only happened after the recent xbox update I think. There goes my all the green ticks on the 4k details. cry.gif

How did you purchase your GPU ? Cause Microsoft started banning those GPU accounts yesterday if they deem that the purchase was done via illegitimate method ( like Shopee etc perhaps)

I think basically Microsoft just want us to buy from Xbox official or any official resellers, that's all. Regional and VPN shouldn't be an issue.

Shows how neglected my XSX is, other than being a GPU machine,  don't even bother checking messages, suddenly got free 10 bucks from daddy Spencer. Most, if not all chats done through Discord anyway.

I'm glad, I'm happy, nay..... I'm RELIEVED Stray is reviewed as a good game. After the disappointing July offerings on GPU, was hoping Stray erases that disappointment. not to mention, still on sale -10% on Steam at only RM48! Feasting on Deck!



Bring Sifu next to Steam please. Shame for being jailed,......I mean exclusived/moneyhatted in EGS.

Clock struck midnight, and got Stray and Tetris Effect Connected.

Stray RM48 at 10% discount.
Tetris Effect Connected (been waiting for sale for this, today is the day as VR Fest sale hits Steam with this game part of that sale!) RM42 at 35% discount. A no-brainer buy, since the game has permanently stayed on my XSX since the day 1. Perfect chill game........... until the blocks starts ramping up its drop speed. lol.gif

Free on ps plus extra starting today. I can't wait to play it tonight. Will see if it lives up to the hype tongue.gif tongue.gif

Well, I completely skipped the Xbox One consoles, so there's a lot of games new to me on the Series X that I missed out on in the PS4 era.

I still can't get my hands on the PS5, so I can't say, but on first impressions I would definitely use that for 1st party Sony games... and multiplatforms I will just refer to Digital Foundry and see whichever is better.

One thing I love about the Xbox platform is the lack of regional restrictions for DLCs and digital games smile.gif

I'm neither a PlayStation nor Xbox nor Nintendo fanboy - I just love 'em all from the 1990s until today. And that's why I have 14 consoles hooked up to my home theater right now.
