The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K

  Honestly, we have way more work to do when it comes to brightness, contrast, and colour.

  I’d rather a 1080p screen that has OLED infinite contrast and over 1000 nits of sustained brightness to be fully viewable during the day, over a resolution bump.

    I’m fine with 100 nits and good contrast, better yet a e-paper alternative. Who wants to stare in a lightbulb all day?

      Someone who wants to be able to see the screen during the day when there’s sunlight in the room.

      My old projector doesn’t even have anyone knitting in it but it smells like grandma.

  No shit, we literally can’t see it.

  Inb4 the 144 Hz acolytes get their panties in a twist

    Increased refreshrates are like 10x more noticeable than post 4k gains. Especially on tvs with any normal viewing distance

  I have bad eye sight, but also 8k probably never need to be a thing on a tv, more impressive for stuff thats closer to our eyes like VR headsets probably.

  I bought one on the premise of both PS5 and Xbox Series X releasing 8K content.

  We got:

  The Touryst - Not a bad game, but not needing 8K either.

  Ori and the Will of the Wisps supported 6K, GREAT game.

  youtu.be/4nUYBcp_WP0

  On the PS5 Pro (through PSSR upscaling)

  F1 24 (at 60 FPS)

  Gran Turismo 7 (at 60 FPS)

  No Man’s Sky (at 30 FPS)

  Pure Pool Pro (at 30 FPS with ray tracing)

  [REDACTED] (at 60 FPS)

  The Callisto Protocol (at 30 FPS with ray tracing)

  And that’s it…

    You have an 8k screen? Honestly the first person I’ve seen in the wild. How big is it and can you see the resolution difference?

      65" and it’s impressive with ONE drawback… Samsungs HDR implementation SUCKS. Suuuuuuuucks.

      Without HDR, everything is bright, crisp, and clean.

      With HDR, it’s dark, muddy, and unwatchable.

      I’ve done all the firmware updates, RTINGS calibrations, NOTHING works.

      Well, nothing except disabling HDR on every device attached to it.

  I could use an 8k 42” OLED monitor for work. I’d need a 130” TV for 8k to be noticeable given the distance I sit from the TV.

  • SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    You want those 130" tho

  How close are we to the games industry finally giving up the ghost and walking away from VR?

  Innovate only when it’s necessary. In the meantime, perfect what exists.

  Yeah, we’ve gone as far as we need to in the flashy boom boom section of entertainment. Good character, good writing, and fun gameplay were always the cornerstones of good movies and video games.

  I can’t stand watching things in 4k. It looks so fake to me.

    It was the same when movies started getting released in 1080p back in the day, it just looked weird

  I mean at least not until we all have 150" TV’s
