Even Outside of VR, asynchronous time warp, which is just a better implementation of frame generation, would be a great augmentation or replacement for DLSS/FSR techniques for frame gen as some proof of concepts have shown. I’m not sure if there’s a patent issue with using it but it solves the...

I saw a recent preview of the upcoming Sony FALD where they show just the backlight in action compared to their best previous model and it’s so obvious how much more accurate the new implementation is. There’s still a lot of room for improvement in FALD - as long as it’s price competitive I see...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkGtsatPGT4 Interesting up close in camera looks at reflections and comparison of the "glossy" (?) vs the "matte" (?). Sounds like we need a scale that is more precise like 30% AR / grain size .2microns or whatever. That "matte" screen looks more glossy than my...

I have been using my C7 daily watching news and sports with their logos, Dolby Vision content etc. As the living room TV it gets a LOT of use. I also have 8 other current oled screens between phones tablet laptops home and work pcs, but I get that everyone is different. I would still consider...

I think most of the upcoming qd oled 32” 240hz monitors are listed as glossy, but the corresponding woleds are matte.

There should be a rule about adding refurb / remanufactured / used to title of deals.

Wasn’t this a SVGA chipset rather than a card? I had a Diamond Stealth 32 which used one of these iirc.

Interesting article from TFT but it read like a Samsung sponsored piece in some cases representing worst case scenarios. No mention of the black level issues in normal lighting conditions, lack of a polarizing layer / reflections and perceived contrast. Also I thought the new pixel structure was...

Before HDR, wide gamut was the wild west in that there was no software “mode” that told the OS that the color space was expected to be a wide gamut mode (HDR now requires/expects wide gamut color spaces). As a consequence most SDR images and all SD videos are SRGB mastered and look “wrong” in a...

I have a 32” monitor so I can see what integer scale looks like at 1080p. I play a lot of pixel art and retro games so I am pretty stoked for this mode assuming there will be a way to get retro arch to support it. May not be the same use case for everyone.

This doesn’t have the new MLA panels, 480hz @ lower res support or new pixel structure. Sounds like that will be in the 32” woleds in 2H 2024.

I was bummed when plasmas died out before I could get a really high end model, and the monitors sound even better. How do they do showing non native or lower resolutions like DVD (720x480) or pre HD consoles outputting SD video?

My local cable company uses a mix of contractors and employees to do repairs/ troubleshooting and installs. I had a bad experience once with guy who didn’t know what he was doing and left things in a worse state than he started and “misplaced” gear instead of returning it. Turned out to be a...

I see multiple guides that say you can disable auto dimming on the c3 with a service remote - did this get patched or blocked?

The new 2024 rgbw woleds text on the 32” looked really sharp in closeups - I am waiting for an in-depth review to see what it looks like compared to an IPS. Regarding IpS glow, Inthought there was at least 1 new 2023 IPS monitor that brought back something like the old ips-tw polarizing layer to...
