Big advantage being that it’s plug-and-play via the kernel and Mesa packages, just like AMD.

Or better yet: nix the Nvidia app :)

Random disconnects. Sometimes I leave my Deck downloading something and come back later only to find out that the download stopped (connection timeout or similar errors). Steam switches to offline mode and to fix it I have to turn Wi-Fi off and back on, and sometimes only a full restart does the trick.

Thanks for the troubleshooting tips, but I’d rather not downgrade my home Wi-Fi because of one device having issues. I use many other Wi-Fi 4/5/6/6E/7 devices just fine on that access point and because I access files on a local NAS via wireless devices frequently, I kind of want the performance benefits of (up to) Wi-Fi 7.

Automatic band steering also works great with all other devices, so I’d rather not setup separate Wi-Fi networks for each band. Wi-Fi 7 can bundle bands together anyway, so I’d lose that ability as well.

I’ve read about quite a few people having issues with the OLED and 6E/7 APs, often related to 6 GHz so I’m pretty sure it’s not a defect specific to my device. You got me an idea though: maybe I can blacklist the Steam Deck from the 6 GHz band on my access point, not sure.

My white OLED has connection issues to my Unifi 7 Pro AP. So it’s still pretty messy depending on your Wi-Fi setup.

Or what do you mean?

And stop charging a “Core Technology Fee”. And allow JIT compiling for non-browsers so emulators for newer systems can perform well.

It makes a lot of sense for non-gaming tasks. Text looks great and non-fractional scaling makes a big difference. Try it for yourself, there are several non-“gaming” (60 Hz) 27" 5KUHD monitors out there. And remember just because you can’t notice a difference doesn’t mean no one can.

And for gaming: most GPUs can’t drive most games at native 4KUHD. Some form of temporal upscaling (DLSS, XeSS, FSR, TAA etc.) is usually required anyway, and whether you’re upscaling to 4KUHD or 5KUHD from the same internal resolution doesn’t have a big performance impact.

I don’t like the fact that QDOLED seems to always have shiny panels. I get that it lets the colors pop more and whatever, but I’m not sitting in a dark room. It’s usually well-lit, and no I don’t want to change that. I enjoy the sun shining and I also enjoy some artificial lighting in the afternoon.

So it seems it’s WOLED what I’m looking for, which seems to have matte/diffusing panels mostly.

Fullscreen brightness on either QDOLED or WOLED seems to be pretty meh at best though.

What I also don’t like, even though this isn’t exclusive to OLED monitors, is the missing continuity in resolution coming from a 27" 2560x1440 monitor, which has been a standard for many years. Most 4KUHD “gaming” displays are around 31.5" so if you’d want to get the same amount of real estate per physical inch you’d have to set scaling to 1.2-1.25x. Fractional scaling can already look bad at 1.5x, so this is a mess.

In an ideal world (or in my ideal world at least) there’d be “5K” (5120x2880) 27" panels as standard (I know they exist, but not as high refresh rate panels), so you could replace your 2560x1440 27", use non-fractional 2x scaling and have content at the exact same size as before. Larger panels could still exist, but they’d be closer to a “6K” resolution with the exact same pixel density.

I get that this ad implies the (new) iPad can replace all the other stuff that got crushed, I just don’t get how this can be so upsetting to people: it’s an ad for a product. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. Apple is hardly going to destroy the market for all the stuff that got crushed.

I can disagree with something and still not be offended or upset by it. As I said, sometimes I feel like some people want to be offended/upset.

Some people care too much about an ad. I guess some people can’t live without at least a single controversy per day.

You could probably take any ad and argue why it’s offensive to some people in some way.

They’d have to redesign their SoCs. The memory chips are right next to the SoC with the M chips.

I actually get Prime TV series from the high seas even though I’m subscribed to Prime. It’s simply better UX this way.
