8kX - first impressions

Any chance I can get this firmware too? 118Hz is unusable for me. If not, when do you think it’ll be released? I would rather have 90Hz, but 114Hz is good enough to at least try it.

They sent me two firmwares, one with 90 Hz, one with 114 Hz. Both worked, saw no disadvantage with the latter - and it feels better than 90 Hz (and much better than 75 Hz) for table tennis.
Edit: Unless they release this soonish you might ask support to get it.

You have me intrigued to try Eleven with Native mode…75Hz isn’t really too bad since the screens are just awesome in general (lower persistence?). I was pretty annoyed by 72Hz Quest and 5K+, but not 75 on the X…would still like to see the difference. Do you just go to the support site or request it in the fourm?

I’d open a ticket. Best ask for Doman. You could probably get used to playing it with 75 Hz (no problem with a 1080 TI frametimes wise). But particularly when going back from 114 Hz it is immediately obvious and I would trade more smoothness for lower resolution any day in that particular game.
