It's a nice monitor worthy of consideration for someone in the market for one.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Regular straight Krylon paint, I read that its the best for this (of the canned stuff at least). Don't get the Fusion crap, just good ol regular Krylon, I've learned one HUGE key tip though. If you look real close to the left side of the D-pad you will see a slight crinkle effect on the red paint. I could of sanded this off and reapplied the red and clear coat but decided it was not bad enough for me to go through that. If I was doing this as a business then obviously but just for myself it does not bother me.

This was caused by the clear coat. I had two clear coat types on my shelf and I read the paint and clear coat must work together are you will get the paint pulling up. So I tested each on the controller with a quick blast on one spot. One can worked, the other didn't and caused that issue you see on the Dpad area.

Other tips if you are going to attempt this.

1) Sand both sides with a fine grit sand paper.

2) Wash down the controller with dawn dish soap to remove all oil from hands

3) You want it to take 4 to 5 coats to cover each side so plan on light light sweeping coats. Let it almost completely dry (roughly 10 min) then hit again with another light sweeping coat. Do this until complete coverage.

4) Allow all paint to fully set (at least 24 hours) before applying clear coat. Again apply 4 to 5 coats to really protect the controller.

5) Optional: I didn't do it on this one, but my second controller I will because I can tell now, this would really create a awesome finish. Wet sand (2000 grit) paint once it is fully set before you apply the clear coat. It would create a smooth like glass finish.

My LSU theme controller I'm doing next, wet sanding will be done. All in all this one was the learning template. While its far from perfect it gave me good insight into why certain things should be done.

Note: Painting the touch pad will remove the touch pad function(swiping). It will still operate as a button though. I knew this before and planned on painting this one and leaving the LSU one stock and in working order. Very few games do I use it so I figured it was not critical if I lost it on one controller.

LSU LSU LSU yessssssssss!!!!!!

I wasn't too happy with that theme when I tried it out. Most of the themes in general aren't very good. I'm using the Witcher 3 one right now.

Forgot to mention I'm also a Giants fan.

I do agree that most of the theme aren't good.

They should give is the option to use custom backgrounds on the XMB, like the PS3.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

day 2 with my samsung curved monitor and it looks awesome but one fatal flaw has me sad

The PS4 has the Full RGB or Limited and I use limited for my samsung 4k tv with hdmi on the tv set to low

On the monitor same deal but there is nasty black crush and changing PS4 setting to Full makes no difference

Only thing that makes a diff is changing monitor hdmi black level to normal from low but it washes out the picture.

It is not that bad in terms of black crush but every game I have to change brightness in game or monitor to help which should not be the case

I might return it today and get the asus 1440p 25 incher

Agreed on the PS4 themes. I got all 30 MLB teams when I purchased the 10-yr. anniversary edition of MLB 15 The Show, but haven't used any. Not a fan of the background noise and the themes themselves aren't great to look at, imo.

I'm just using the default theme. I find the music relaxing.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Think I'm using the PS+ theme. Just stock but a little flashier.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Using the Order 1866 theme that was free from doing the website thing. Think I might preorder Everybody's Gone to the Rapture for that theme, couldn't hear it but Shu tweeted a shot of it and it looks good

I'm using the anniversary theme. It makes the background look like a PS1

Has anyone pre-ordered NBA LIVE 16 yet? I'm interested to see what the pre-order theme looks like.

I'm not personally interested in the VR headset technology, but here's a pretty cool interview on Project Morpheus and its capabilities...

I've been using the PlayStation HEROES pre-order theme. It's very simplistic, yet PlayStation-centric.

Other than that, the 20th Anniversary theme is good too, but just too damn bright, lol. The Playroom theme is pretty cool too, it's the one my son uses. I think it may still be free on the EU store.

That PS Heroes theme looks really nice, is it possible to still get it?
