Buh, Tp4,  why is DSC horribad.

If you're far enough away, everything's fine.

But when you're close to the monitor, fine text and textures, can get garbled by DSC.

The other issue is, DSC causes weird issues when you go in and out of full screen, so alot of people stopped using full screen exclusive modes, despite it having a slight latency advantage in many workflows.

Especially if you use color correction, then DSC is a nightmare as it kicks things on and off.

Now, you COULD futurepoof yoself with Silkland's new certified HDMI 2.2 cables, buhhhh, Since it's impossible to even check them, Tp4 can't recommend anyone buy an hdmi 2.2 cable before they release hdmi 2.2 GPUs /TVs / Monitors.

It makes no sense to pay the premium at this point. Besides,  the world is about to BLOW UP, they just shot at irnt agin. those morons in our gobament, when will they learn.

Ugreen (reputable) doin' dat Hdmi 2.1 cable sale.

Seems like they're gearing up for HDMI 2.2, which is why 2.1 cables are going on sale.

To, COUNTERPUNCH,  Silkland (also reputable),  clipped an extra 50cents off, 6.6feet for $8.49.


But the biggest winner here is the 10 feet,  Ugreen sells for $16.99,  Silkland doing $12.73. That's a pretty big deal.


DO NOT buy a 2.1 cable longer than 10 feet, unless you Absolutely-need-to, they're already unreliable at 10 feet.


They only sell these because most people aren't using anywhere near 2.1 bandwidth.

For Nvidia gpu it doesn't matter much, because DSC is always force enabled by driver, so it never gets near the 2.1 bandwidth. (unless) you have a monitor that can disable DSC, some high end models have this.

DSC is 3:1 compression (NOT LOSSLESS, they lie about it), so if you have 40gigabit (4K144hz, max payload bandwidth), it can push it down to 14gigabit ,  Even hdmi 2.0 cables can handle that.


For AMD GPU,  you can force disable DSC by editing EDID of the TV/Monitor.  This way you can push into true Hdmi 2.1 territory,  THIS requires a good cable.

Tp4 went through 4x 2.1 cables @ 10 feet to find a reliable one.



The point is, 2.1 cables on average, from a reputable brand is better,  than bandit-brands that bet on people actually only using 1.3-1.4 lvl bandwidth.

Overall, the sale is legit, considering most of the time, these are $20+

I would also buy 2 or 3. I have a pile of Orbweavers to keep me going but would love to ditch Synapse.

Art style solid, they used fixed textures for alot of overlays which give a comic paper feel.

Though the idea is not original, the balance in implementation is excellent. And they kept the complexity low both in terms of managing visual clutter and  artistic impact.

4K is very very welcomed.  As you know, all media is transported 4:2:0.  The only way to Delivery a 1080p full workflow, is to delivery a 4K sample.

1080p only has 960x540 color resolution,
4K has a 1920x1080 color resolution,


This may seem like a minor detail, but it's a big deal, 4:2:0 is honestly inappropriate given the minimal impact to bitrate and bandwidth.   It is entirely the result of Corporate Greed that we don't have 444 delivery.


Character plots are extremely weak this time around, shame,
Kyoko was the only interesting/ Stand out role, remotely likeable for her comedy.

Literally every single other character, makes the audience go, meh, don't care if they all died. Annnd they pretty much did.

Touchscreens are RUINOUS for most laptops.

The glare is immense, and it's almost completely useless except for 2in1flips.
