I apologize but in what way do you think you just made a case against plasma? To paraphrase, "all the new tech is crap and that's the only reason plasma still looks good." I swear I lost a few brain cells reading your post.
I'll never forget the 1st time I booted up Crysis on my 8800gt and q6600. That first view with the sunrise as that music kicks in right before u take out that radio jammer. 30fps with everything on medium to high. 1280x1024 on an IBM c220p trinitron with black case. Good times!

This is pretty close to my own experience and why I gave up my oled. The plasma and it's big brother crt have the most lifelike image ever produced. Oled is great for HDR and brighter than "dark room" watching but for everything 1080p and...
If only we could get another AAA Crysis game in the same manner as the 1st. Not a watered down corridor shooter but one that builds on the strengths of the first while avoiding the mistakes.
Under Defeat for Sega Dreamcast on Retroarch
A single TH-60PF50U would be ideal for retrogaming; especially in portrait mode. You can either emulate or use the gamut of I/O on the back of the unit. The unit provides DVI-D, VGA, HDMI, BNC and COMPONENT allowing for use with the gamut of retro...
Metro Exodus: Enhanced Edition @ 7080x3840@60hz just before getting monitors set up on desk and getting positioned to minimize bezels. Screens had yet to be calibrated at the time of this photo.
After a few months with this setup I've decided to permanently remain with this as my daily driver for gaming. I game about 15-20 hours a week and have seen a very small increase in my power bill, but we are talking an extra 15.00 to 20.00 dollars a month. That includes running the A/C to keep...
That is a borderline idiotic statement and childish quite frankly. Perhaps that may be the movitation for some but for many of us who can actually "afford" to purchase any card we choose it's also unfair! This is simply a matter of principle and responsible spending. Nvidia is taking advantage...
not a single screen but hopefully still qualifies as a "big" display. :) 172 inches total screen area on an RTX 4080

Enemy Front WW2 FPS using Cryengine. It's not too bad actually considering it's from City Interactive. I remember back in the 2007 -2009 era when CI games were just pure garbage so was pleasantly surprised by this one. Not the best FPS but far from the worst!
What he said. I could care less where you spend your money unless your spending habits affect me personally. The willingness to keep buying Nvidia at ever more higher price points affects my wallet and that's personal is it not?
I will admit that I am looking at this through a very narrow lens called "personal experience". Admittedly, my experience is just that, "mine". I agree with your basic premise of cost per year relative to other hobbies. Here's where we part ways......
Again viewing through the narrow lens of my...
Something like this that kids today have no clue how fun this was for a child in the 70's. What a treat on a rainy day with nothing else but board games as an option. :)
I will miss the days of the glorious "GDM" line of Sony crt monitors. It will be a very sad day indeed when someday in the near future, we realize the very last of it's kind has given up the ghost and powered on for the very last time. :(
