  • Born in 2004, I barely used the internet as a kid. Most my video games were off of CDs, and I occasionally got to use my dad’s Steam account. In like 4th grade I played some Wizards101, League of Legends, and some flash games, and started watching Minecraft youtubers. Besides that I mostly used the internet to download Minecraft mods. I kinda eased into the internet that way so I never really was surprised at having so much accessible to me.

    I didn’t get on social media until I got on Reddit in high school. I tried Tumblr a bit but didn’t like it since it was too different. I still don’t use Twitter or anything, just Reddit and Lemmy and occasionally Pinterest.












  • Yeah, it probably looks quite a lot better. This one doesn’t look great in dark scenes, and I can see how per-pixel dimming would be a big improvement even in brighter scenes. But this one looks a lot better than my old TN monitor at least, and I just did not want to worry about burn-in or brightness degradation. I’m also a CS student so I do a decent bit of programming, and I got it for a crazy deal from Best Buy for $550, while the Alienware looks to be around $1000.

    In terms of brightness, I used to run my old monitor at the lowest possible, but now I kinda wish this one could get even brighter than it is lol.

    Now that I’ve gotten a taste of true HDR though, I can see how an oled would fix quite a few issues with this one. Thinking about it now I think I might rather have a 1440p oled than this 4k MiniLED, HDR just makes that big of an impact. Although most of the time this one looks pretty good. I was just hoping this would last me a while until MicroLED or something actually came out.
