Screen dimming is technically possible over HDMI no idea why its not properly supported and integrated into graphics drivers, windows and Linux. KDE shows dimming for monitors sometimes? Don’t know of that is software or real hardware dimming though.
Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K
olympicyes@lemmy.world 17 hours agoWhat’s dumb is that 3D failed because of lack of resolution and brightness, and now we have more pixels than we can handle and screens so bright they can hurt to look at. PS3 had a couple games that showed different screens to two players wearing 3D glasses. I’d love to see full screen couch coop games with modern tech. 8K isn’t solving any problems.

It’s real hardware dimming.

Nice thought so but wasn’t sure.

I’m talking about brightness in context of 3d. KDE uses DDE with USB connected monitors which is the same thing as using a button to lower brightness.

3D failed for the exact same reason VR is failing now. Nobody wants to wear headsets at home.

But VR can do a lot of cool things, 3d… not so much.
