PS5

Minimap or should I rather say HUD burn-in. I would rather avoid the problem by getting a LED screen

Yep a totally reasonable decision, also LCDs will get brighter so it's better if you have a lot of light coming in to the room.

Just out of experience though, I've had my OLED since January 2018, have played many games on it and don't have a problem with burn-in. Maybe if you were playing the same game like 6-8 hours a day, every day then it could get problematic but I don't so it's not an issue.

Do you mean you can't go back because it's got burn-in (Qn90A for the win)?

To be honest, I most probably could have avoided the burn-in if I had run the manual pixel refresher in the past, and also not just left my TV on for hours on end just for background noise etc. Maybe I also thought that if it broke or something so I could get a replacement under the extended warranty

On another note - the G1's in America have been given a 5 year screen warranty by LG recently.....

i saw online yesterday, Incredible had stock

C1 out of stock and no G1's as far as I can see?

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Ye, I wouldn't use an OLED TV for daily PC work. Way too many static elements.

Quick question. Can you use the PS4 VR set for the PS5 ?

 

[Splinter]

I started watching this - and then he said "the last few months". No ways will you have burn in unless you are really, really trying hard to cause such

@DrJohnZoidberg Do you think the NVME drive will perform better when compared to the built-in one?

@DrJohnZoidberg Do you think the NVME drive will perform better when compared to the built-in one?

From what I've seen online, performance differences are negligible between the two and actually quite difficult to quantify.

Digital Foundry did a good piece on this:

Anyone else experience "LAN cable disconnected" then connected immediately again randomly during the first 15 minutes from powering on? Seem to be getting this after the last update. Kicks me from games and party, but then after that I can game for 4 hours uninterrupted. Tested the cable and it is fine. Just want to know if it is just me having the issue.

 

[The_Buck_Rogers]

Is this from Rest mode or actual power on. If the latter try and see if rest mode does the same.

Never had the issue before but then my PS5 never been "off" either...

thanks, it is from power on, will try from rest mode.
