Als Technik Nerd konnte ich dem Angebot für einen 21% reduzierten Full Array LED Fernseher von Sony einfach nicht widerstehen!
Am Black Friday gibt es die besten Rabatte auf die LED Fernseher. Dadurch würde ein OLED oder MicroLED dann doppelt so viel kosten, und das finde ich nicht gerechtfertigt.
Die LED XR Fernseher von Sony ja auch alles, was man sich wünschen kann.
Habt ihr euch auch schon für einen OLED Fernseher entschieden oder seid ihr wie ich noch bei LED?
We've had a Roku player since 2012. Honestly can't remember whether I upgraded along the line. Anyhow it was getting crashy on a couple of streaming apps, enough to be hard to ignore. So I got the latest Ultra. Yay, less crashy. And cheap. But more or less zero difference in the experience. Further evidence that 4K and WiFi and HDMI may be end-state technologies.
The world needs more stable end-state technologies.

Okay, the setup is solid now. SCART into the `gscart` switch which splits the output. One goes to the Sony PVM-2530, the other output goes to the RetroTINK 4K. I tried to get the colors to match somewhat on the CRT, but it's a fool's errand to be honest. However, once work is over it'll be time to progress more in FF6.

Took a day to track down an interesting issue: an absolute ton of noise coming out of the `gscart` SCART switch. It was bad going through the RetroTINK 5X and intolerable coming through the RetroTINK 4K. Started with the SNES, swapped out cables and it was still there. Then copied the ROM and save state over to the MiSTer and saw the same exact issue with analog output from the MiSTer.
It was weird because the SNES is RGB modded via Voultar's SNESRGB and should have some absolut…

😂 "Ratatouille" is my favorite Disney animated film & I NEVER GOT TO RIDE REMY'S RATATOUILLE ADVENTURE at EPCOT. (I only had 2 Multipass reservations & let my son & wife ride while I quietly sat outside)
This was the very 1st time I've ever seen Remy's ride!

@dawid@social.craftknight.comWell, shit. Guess I picked a bad day to re-case my PC and upgrade the GPU. Everything went well until I tried to update the OS, which failed while tossing a Mesa dependency error. Did some checking, and it seems to just be a Mesa issue I can't really do anything about ATM. So I'm stuck in 4K/basic graphics driver mode, with screen tearing a-plenty, till tomorrow? Hopefully? lol.
The new case looks nice at least.
I got a UPerfect 15.6" portable monitor (4k) as a second screen and am quite impressed with it, particularly for the very low price. Main problem is I am having a hard time finding a good stand to use it as a desktop monitor. Very few options for something this small!
Okay, getting an early start on preparing for the JoCo cruise in the beginning of 2027 (assuming the world is still here). The overall setup will be the RetroTINK 4K (already owned), a nice 4K OLED portable monitor, and a sturdy MiSTer. I'm excited to see if the RetroTINK 4K works its magic on the portable monitor...even more excited to see if I can get back into running _Castlevania: Symphony of the Night_. We'll see.
I hate linking to anything on meta, but this is the only good source I can find. This is the sorting from this morning in Minneapolis, slowed down and examined from two angles. It clearly shows that an officer had removed the victims gun and walked away with it before they shot and liked him. This is if anything even more cut and dried than the previous shooting. They disarmed a man who was lawfully concealing a firearm and then executed him in the street, in front of multiple witnesses.

Sadly, my old off-brand, 32", 1080p, 60 Hz TV set slowly fritzed before my eyes after 9 years and 7 months of continuous service. Good game.
Even more depressing, for the last week of tedious browsing, I can't seem to settle on another dirt-cheap ~€300, non-32", non-Sony, non-Samsung, 4K, at-least-a-solid-60Hz TV set that I am confident would not die on me or would not run out of smart software support within the next three years.

Today, I buy this one passive USB-C cable that supports 240W/80Gbps to ensure it works for my displays & laptops. (The spec limits cable length to 3.3ft however, the above 4.9' cable has worked fine for me):

The RetroTINK is now hooked up into the SCART switch along with the capture card on the computer. Switched back over to the JVC TM-H150CG because it's a better CRT than the Sony PVM-2530 and it takes up a bit less space. Still need to arrange the cables a bit, but I think this weekend is gonna be perfect for playing some games.

now I'm looking at the world of portable monitors. Lots of 15.6" 4K screens out there for very cheap. Do these actually work for regular use or are they limited in some important way?
Man, this was even BETTER than I remember it. And I thought this was damn good back in the day!
Go buy the 4K, dammit. 🤪
