Headphones

I went & treated myself to some Sennheiser HD600's....

WOW! - Huge improvement over the 569's.

Nice. The HD600s have been around a few years haven't they? And used a lot in the music industry.

I get top annoyed with wired headphones that days so I'm sticking with wireless now. Especially now Bluetooth is much better then it used to be.

I've decided on the Sennheiser Momentum 4's when I have more money.

[Kin Hell]

Yes H, indeed they have.

RE Wireless.... I've never been a fan.



Same for Wi-Fi, keyboards, mice etc.

Wireless causes LAG....

[Harrison]

Regarding wireless, Bluetooth is far better than it use to be. The range is far greater and latency much less. But gaming mice, keyboards and controllers often have the option for 2.4Ghz RF instead that all but eliminates it due to far faster polling.

RE Lag, check this out....

nVidia Reflex is very interesting.

You need at least a RTX3xxx series card & a 360Hz monitor.

Can't wait....

Wow fancy stuff. And here's me watching videos of people dicking about and using a printer as a display, or installing a gaming PC in a toilet or using stupid things like kids toys, wiimotes, or Donkey Kong bongos as controllers

Interesting, but peddling 360Hz output and displays is just a ploy to sell more expensive hardware.

Did you know that in recent studies they have now proved the human retinal image has a maximum observable rate as 50–90 Hz. With the average person bring very close to 60 fps.

But a separate line of research has reported that fast eye movements known as saccades allow simple modulated LEDs to be observed at very high rates.

What it means is that the human eye can only see an average of 60fps, but that the brain can spot faster motion in our peripheral vision that we notice when it's not right. This is what is going on when games say it is much smoother at higher refresh rates. It isn't use watching the higher framerate, but instead tricking the brain into thinking its correct as motion moves quickly.

The study concluded that this observable high framerate in our periphery is up to 500Hz. But for gaming this is only really applicable to FPS games where the motion is very fast movement. I.e. multiplayer online fps games.

Loved the Gaming chair!

Possibly H & I wouldn't want to argue about it.

However, it's almost as bad as saying, "I cant see any difference between 60Hz & 120Hz". - Of course you can if you know what to look for. - I already know that 360Hz is going to scroll sideways much slicker than my 165Hz is currently.
Bring it on!
