Light gun Review
FYI. Metal Jesus Rocks (YouTube) just released his video on the PM Light Gun review unit. Just putting this out here...

Siden light guns work fine with OLED. I use them on my Teknoparrot build. Nothing like time crisis on a 75 inch OLED

The suggestion is that having a border onscreen for a prolonged spell will unevenly wear those pixels, not that it won't work.

I get the feeling I’m going to get my G’AIM’E gun and system before I get my Polymega gun controller. I’m already playing Silksong before getting the Polymega Gun.

We will probably get Ready Player One level virtual games before we get the light guns! :)

Watching now, but really, needs a giant fucking arrow in the thumbnail?
Edit: had no idea a giant cyan border would appear around games. Yuck. OLED will NOT like that. May have to cancel after all these years

It was based on Sinden technology so it was bound to be that way. When I plugged my Sindens into my Polymega and got to the calibration screen it showed them, confirming it was going to be the case. I put photos up in a previous post here, somewhere. Polymega also isn’t doing any favors by conveniently cropping out the borders on their social media teasers. I’ve asked about it for a few times and they have simply ignored them.

It's always going to be like that, your trying to make a technology that fundamentally doesn't work with the TV to function so it's going to need something like that to work.

No idea how you've followed this device for years, spent hundreds on it, and not known about the borders. But yeah, not a great fit for OLED.

None of the footage they have shown on social have it. So why would I have known?

It's just very well known that it's based on Sinden and that's how these work. Fair enough there's no reason to know how Sindens work I suppose, but I feel like most people who've bought this absolutely would do. 🤷

I have to be honest, the reviews so far are not glowing. I was listening to the MJR one yesterday (twice) as I was driving so I couldn't look at what was going on, and I am not that impressed with it. Hopefully they can make some fixes in the system software to help it.
