But basically, the last thing we can do is leave, if we stay, it's just chasing bad money with good.
So.... guess we're going to stay, and prepare for hyper inflation?

If you want something like that, you'll have to go to the $500 sale range, 165hz 4K OLED from MSI or Asus, usually Newegg.
Tp4 however recommends the new iterated dark film covered QD oled models. They're all using the same samsung dark film panels, but call it dark armor, etc, etc.
4K 240hz is great, will be in the $600-800 range, 4K 360hz is incoming, probably $1000+.

The first batch of pad printed keycaps was delivered today and they are gorgeous! They look great in person, despite a very slight fuzziness in the ink that was noted before. With the clear protective layer applied over the ink of each key, I'm hopeful that the ink outlasts the originals which had no protective layer.
These pad printed Model F / Model M keycaps were well worth the wait!

Apparently they are remastering it! Both, 1 and 2. That would be awesome.

« Last post by TheSoulhunter on Wed, 03 June 2026, 09:28:15 »I looked up some examples...
Seems it's not about simulating the horizontal beam drawing (mask point to mask point).
But rather the vertical persistence (part of the screen being black, image rolling top to bottom).
I can see how this would be enough to give you the CRT beam feel. Good idea...
Remembers me the rolling-scanlines filter I wrote in Avisynth/DShow back in the day.
Unfortunately I am still on 60Hz as there were no large (40" +) high refresh rate monitors when I got it.
Maybe time to upgrade...
Are there 40-45" high refresh rate, color accurate, 16:9 monitors, possibly with split-input/picture function?

Ergonomics / Re: The PalmPuk (with MS Paint graphics)
« Last post by TheSoulhunter on Wed, 03 June 2026, 09:11:32 »Better to keep pressure (forces per unit area) smaller overall by two simple planar surfaces from a low friction material.
Okay, I guess that's something I could make myself for a test, without ordering any parts like the split-seats.
I got Teflon skates, and round stock material in Aluminum, V2A Stainless, and Mild-Steel.
Gonna report back with some pictures and impressions.
Thanks for your input!

Especially considering AM5 support is to 2029, it will probably get Zen 7 CPU which will hit 7Ghz.
So the $420 base cost is preserved all the way to 7ghz, FROM 5.5ghz.
Whereas AM4 has no economical path.
