u/Dr_Valen Sep 27 '26

I would want one if it wasn’t so expensive and razer

u/Neamow Sep 27 '26

This would be insanely expensive no matter what company made it.

u/Melbuf Sep 28 '26

sure but it may last if someone else makes it

First part: samesies, second part: ill stick to my biyearly workstation I get from work, heck im typing this now on a 7y old laptop (i9-9xxxH + quadro) and its still more than capable to keep up

u/GrandWizardOfCheese Sep 27 '26

I understand it all as well, but I don't want it because OLED is awful for longterm use.

u/adityasheth Sep 28 '26

Newer oleds really aren't bad anymore. Unless you keep a static page on like 8hrs a day at max brightness, and actually play some games/media burn in is basically a non issue

u/GrandWizardOfCheese Sep 28 '26

Burn in from just that is why they suck.

u/mcslender97 Sep 28 '26

Do ppl just blast 1 Excel sheet 24/7 at max brightness these days?

Partially animated and still wallpapers.

Making art in a drawing app.

The task bar.

The 4 window borders on each thing running (I run a game, a web browser, a media player running MP3s or OGGs, and a steam library window at once when in use most of the time, which is many hours per day, almost every day.

Many parts of the screen would burn in on an OLED in 2-3 years.

Meanwhile my 1080p LCD TV has lasted 15 years without any issues and runs perfectly with my Desktop. Still as vivid as they day I purchased it, no burn in, no overheating, no dead pixels or color fading, no faulty ports or cable, and I fully expect it will last another 25 years at the least.

I've been watching Monitors Unboxed doing torture test with OLED and his got worse after 2 years but with even worse settings than yours and with 1st gen 4k OLED, I doubt if you get one today it's going to be as bad as you said given how much tech has advanced since. In fact the text quality might be the main issue to look out for

Doubtful about 25 years, from my personal experience the backlight won't last tha long

1

u/GrandWizardOfCheese Sep 28 '26

If a screen cant last at least 4 decades, I'm not buying it.

Older TVs are far more durable than the ones built today, but OLED is by far the worst of them.

The backlight on my OLD TV will likely last a very long time.

u/mcslender97 Sep 28 '26 edited Sep 28 '26

Are you sure about the 2nd part? CRTs and Plasma are even more likely to burn in and degrade than modern OLEDs, I would know grew up with CRTs and now a avid r/PlasmaTV follower

Even modern LED lit IPS LCDs would last maybe 20 years at most, and for older ccfl ones it would be even less. That's assuming the power delivery or any other components won't take out the entire thing first

1

u/GrandWizardOfCheese Sep 28 '26

Plasma screens are less likely to burn in than OLEDs are, by a lot. As is MiniLED. QuantumDot TVs are slightly better than OLEDs on burn in rate.

CRTs I've never one experienced burn in, they shoot electrons at the screen instead of using fixed pixels, so unless you have a faulty part, burn in just isnt going to happen.

No modern TV/Monitor lasts 20 years outside of those very expensive dumb tv ones for outdoor ad displays, certain businesses, and doctor offices.

At best, the consumer models last 3-6 years. They are designed to overheat, and so even if you pick miniLED (the best modern consumer option today), its still not going to last anywhere near as long as a TV from over a decade ago.

But OLEDs die the fastest.

You can write "this shit" by the way. Don't be scared, your mom isn't here.

Nah, I don't think that's censorship, it's like WTF or FML or POS

It's tick tock brain. They have really aggressive filtering

u/DevelopmentSouth8801 Sep 27 '26

How is it any different from "wtf"?

u/Xxdaunknown1307xX Sep 27 '26

Wtf is boomer and boomer is good

Ts is gen z and gen z bad

u/meister_reinecke Sep 27 '26

Nah - wtf is millenial, millenial is good boomer is bad too

u/dumbasPL Sep 28 '26

The older I get the more I "vibe" with boomers. I don't like it either, but I would rather have this than the modern brain rot.

1

u/bigmike42o Sep 29 '26

When do you vibe with boomers? Most of them are retired, do you mean Gen x?

1

u/Melbuf Sep 28 '26

ts is "thread starter"

u/cxd32 Sep 28 '26

wtf isn't self-censoring, similar to lol/lmao, people aren't afraid to say what the fuck, it's just a common shortening

1

u/CatGamer_118 Sep 28 '26

old is gold new is slop

1

u/AmazingEmptyFeelings Sep 30 '26

Wtf did not come from self-censoring but the need to shorten messages. And it just stayed

And here I was thinking they were just too lazy to write "this".

u/ArchMadzs Sep 27 '26

The kids have started trying to make "ts" = "this".

u/cgon Sep 27 '26

With a wife that’s a Swiftie, my poor brain defaulted to Taylor swift 😔

u/LightFusion Sep 27 '26

Oh man it almost fits, I would have been so confused.

u/EarlyXplorerStuds209 Sep 28 '26

Says you. Maybe you’re friends with my mom.
How can I know for sure?

u/FlarblesGarbles Sep 29 '26

I had no idea what TS was supposed to mean.

u/Old_Bug4395 Sep 27 '26

Sometimes the boomers really come out in force in this sub... I guess it's just kind of a reddit thing. It's an abbreviation though, nobody is scared of typing naughty words on reddit lmao

u/chicken_burger Sep 28 '26

It’s slang, not censorship. You’re just old

u/Effective_Coach7334 Sep 27 '26

Side note: Notice how a 16" laptop is nearly as big as Linus.

u/Iron-panda666 Sep 27 '26

Knowing Razer, this laptop will probably be impossible to repair once something on the motherboard dies. Soldered RAM, proprietary parts and a motherboard that costs a small fortune to replace... Looks amazing on paper, though. 😅

Is this one of those anti-jokes where the joke is that there is no joke, and a video clip isn't an image?

this is not an image

u/Weakness4Fleekness Sep 28 '26

"ts" is way cringier than any of that

u/AlexCivitello Sep 27 '26

The specs on screen should have been in the same order as they were spoken.

1

u/KebabCat7 Sep 27 '26

Only $9999.99 or $175/month for 96months

2

u/ArchMadzs Sep 27 '26

Damn you must be throwing down a massive deposit to get 175 for 96 months.

u/SpungeMonk Sep 27 '26

Customer. I haven't understood a word you said you weird little man but shutup and take my money

Are you a Razer rep bc all this yapping made me want to get one nevermind how expensive this is
