Anticipating Samsung's AMOLED Mixed Reality Headset (windowscentral.com)
Eloking quotes Windows Central:
At an event in San Francisco, HoloLens inventor Alex Kipman outlined the future of Windows Mixed Reality, which Redmond seems to believe is the future of computing. Whether or not it is remains to be seen, but either way, there will be no shortage of Windows Mixed Reality headsets this holiday season, with perhaps the most compelling option coming from Samsung.
The $500 Samsung HMD Odyssey sports dual AMOLED eye displays, complete with a 110-degree field of view. This could potentially make a huge difference in the quality of the Windows Mixed Reality experience for two reasons. First, AMOLED displays can generate deeper blacks and more vibrant colors than your average OLED or LCD screen. Second, all other Windows Mixed Reality headsets we've seen have a 95-degree FoV. The Samsung headset will be more immersive because there will be less dead space in your peripheral vision.
The headset -- which comes with motion controllers -- is expected to launch in one month.

Sure, AMOLED gives a great picture - at first. But durability is not its strong suit: as the blue diodes degrade much faster than the others, it takes just a couple of years of regular use for a display to become yellowed.

See subject. Far too many INTELLIGENT POSTS being modded down by ABUSIVE moderators. Rather than doing the RIGHT THING and SUPPORTING posts calling for bump stocks to be banned, the moderators are CENSORING them and SUPPORTING the Las Vegas shooter...
* STOP the CENSORSHIP. Mod UP the posts calling for bump stocks to be banned...
* STOP the CENSORSHIP of my posts about Ash-Fox. Take the time to INFORM yourself, then MOD THEM UP...
* Help SPREAD THE WORD that I'm right by posting links to the many INFORMATIVE posts I've made about these issues.
(It is a PLEASURE to honor the victims of the shooting by demanding legislation to prevent similar mass shootings...)

Can anyone give me a coherent answer about why anyone needs a bump stock to convert a semi-automatic weapon into a fully automatic one? There is no legitimate reason for anyone to have bump stocks, and they need to be banned. It is truly remarkable to me that conservatives would resist a common sense measure like banning bump stocks.
Ok parents, run out to but the $500 Samsung HMD Odyssey for you spoiled child so he can play with for an hour and then never tough it again.
Same with DPS(?) displays. (Whatever the wider viewing range ones were after the TFT stuff.)
Having a variety of each, the only failing point I have had with them, other than the rare stuck pixel (a number of times due either to wiring issues (colored line) or a physical impact to the screen), is the backlight, which due to being a CCFL only lasts a few years on average, although many models have lasted or continue to last years beyond what was expected.

Because you've already got most of the cake and you don't need more?
You're drinking the kool-aid served to you by the MSM in particular and liberals in general. They make money by selling outrage, and they do it without careful consideration of the consequences. Their intelligence horizon extends no further than "the next click".
The issue has been gone over in detail and there are about two dozen legitimate arguments why further gun control is wasteful, ineffective, and dangerous.
Get over it.
Start with rationality and premise: Describe the problem by stating how many people are killed, annually, using bump stocks. Then proceed to a rational comparison of how our civilization would be different with and without bump stocks, and include in your description the cost of implementing the ban versus the reward of having the ban.
If you really, *really* want to have "that conversation about gun control", then we can have that... but if we do, note that everything will be on the table for discussion, including relaxing gun restrictions. Would we be more safe if the entire country went to reciprocity?
Also that discussion will allow for "out of the box" potential solutions. For example, instead of blanket laws controlling guns, would the rewards be better served by banning moslems from owning guns? Or blacks? What do the statistics say?
If you honestly want to further restrict guns, you'll need to convince the smart population of the country. Evidence indicates that people are getting tired of ill-founded emotional arguments that don't work in practice, and our horizon for "giving it a chance" is shrinking to less than a senate term.
Convince a majority of the logic and benefits of your position, and stop making these inane emotional pleas.
Do it the right way.
AMOLED sucks, Steve Jobs explained this quite clearly and...
Oh wait, Tim Cook says AMOLED is the best. Sorry, carry on.
But durability is not its strong suit: {...} it takes just a couple of years of regular use for a display to become yellowed.
And this is a problem for Samsung how ?
In the modern era of planed obsolescence where manufacturer expect their user base to throw away the old gizmo and buy a new one every 12 months, nobody gives a fart if the device's display will eventually die after a few years.
Or at least that what manufacturer are thinking.
Now whether it does actually makes sense to spend on an expensive mixed-reality gadget, only to throw it away after 1-2 years is an entirely different question that is completely ignored by manufacturers (and Apple users too, BTW).

Start with code (text) editor windows that can see all the code by moving your head. Add UI controls that show direct links to their response (press) code. Then do a database program showing how information is to be accessed. Visual debugging of an app.
Yes, you can do all that now - but at five bills, this Samsung VR headset is cheaper than one big 4K monitor.
Could be an interesting product - Add it as an Eclipse plug in and I'd definitely be interested in it.

If not then samsung can fuck right off. The world already has two good closed source VR sets, Rift and Vive.
which will be slow but wireless and cheap at $200.
