I feel it was not mentionned enough, but I really like how the game looks compared to photorealistic graphics that we can see on the upcoming (or not) city builder trailers. Features aside, I think that's a design I much prefer.

For instance, the police cruiser is very cute, I don't know how to describe it better but I would never trade this design for a photorealistic render.

Or the look of this signature building, like, it's so... cute and pleasant to see. It doesn't constantly really remind the real life, we can, at least, escape from it for a few hours.

So props to anyone who decided to make the game as it looks today, I love you < 3

Hey,

I searched for an IPS, Mini LED monitor with 120 or more Hz. I found the perfect one but the size was too large (31.5 inches). I am searching for a 27-inch monitor.

I initially wanted a Mini LED because I don't want to babysit an OLED screen, I don't want to hide static elements, plus, I am playing plenty of games with static UI. My choice went to the Mini LED because I have a Macbook with a beautiful screen, and the technology is a Mini LED so naturally I searched for something similar for gaming.

But after some research, it seems Mini LED loses its benefits in SDR (that's the only mode I will use because I dislike HDR, too bright). But then why is my MB able to give a stunning result with a Mini LED panel in SDR? Honestly, I just ask for this result, no more.

----

On the other hand, I already had a classic LED, IPS 27-inch monitor, and the glowing was crazy, it was truly awful. So, second question, was my monitor really bad (GIGABYTE) and gave me the wrong impression about IPS LED or is it just the way it is?

----

Or, should I go to the OLED and just not care about the burning in, use it as it is, and replace it when the burning is too prominent?

Any guidance could really help me to decide which technology to use. Also, I did not mention VA or TN as it seems, it is more competitive-oriented, and I don't play competitive games. Also it appears they don't give a contrast as good as IPS?

---

Maybe to give you a sum up my usages and wishes:

• Using SDR only
• Casual gaming, but I wish to have great colors and a relatively good contrast

So yeah, "that's all". My doubt is mainly on the technology for my usages. Thank you for your valuable help, choosing a monitor is really the hardest part of a PC build.

By important, I mean, something that is significant for your future. I always have some stray thoughts during the exam that really kill my focus. Such as (not in a specific order):

• If you fail this exam, you will have to repay it.
• If you fail this exam, it will just be a continuation of your last one you took^((a.k.a. you suck))
• By failing, I will just confirm the fact I don't have a good level.
• Oh my god, I only have X amount of time remaining. Well, what to do now?
• Well, I don't know the answer for this; I'm not smart enough.

In my case, exams are always multiple-choice questions. I wish I had to stop taking exams after university, but apparently no lol

Any tips? Lack of time is often a huge, very huuuuge point of fear.

Sorry I fu** up with the options for the previous post. Only for people using mods. Reddit limits to 6 options, minus the obligatory Results option, so I can’t put None option, even though it could be interesting.
