that many pixels just makes it even more obvious how many are missing

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
the last ac3 patents finally expired so now we're one step closer to viewing and authoring dvds in a fully :rms2:-approved manner (the last mpeg-2 patents expire early next year). also, the last mp3 patent expires next month so you can finally tell turbonerds that ogg vorbis no longer serves any purpose in this world and they can get stuffed for suggesting it (tho thats already been true since opus was standardized...).

even when AC3 patents fully expire VLC will still play it too quiet and distorted.

I love using vlc and turning my computer volume down by half and then turning up the VideoLAN volume up 200% along with adjusting the brightness and contrast arbitrarily via the sloppy options to a degree that fits the need of my dying cfl monitor

every number is equally far from infinity, so therefore if any number can be described as "nearly infinity", all numbers can

realtalk: just to put into perspective how important this is for movies:

  1. HDR standard up to 10,000 nits in 10 or 12-bpc stored in PQ gamma
  2. outdoor digital billboards ~5,000 nits
  3. Consumer HDR TV in 2016 ~1200 nits
  4. OLED "HDR" 650 nits
  5. HTDV In a store, 500-600 nits brightness
  6. iPhone/iPad/HDTV at home, 350 nits
  7. youre dumb tn panel 250 nits
  8. a smart mans calibrated display 120 nits
  9. sRGB standard 80 nits dark room
  10. Laser View Dolby Vision Movie theater: 50 nits
  11. 2k Christie Digital projection 25 nits
  12. 2K Cristie Digital projection 3D Movie as seen through glasses ~17 nits

This is why Consumer HDR is so much better than anything out there, you literally have to be blinded by the AD MAN who spends INFINITY DOLLARS to sear mcdonalds onto your retinas to experience anything better. (lol like you get out and can see the actual sun)

leyard had an 8K videowall at last year's NAB, it was very impressive. Cinema use of the technology makes sense, it's probably just taken this long to get the density/price to a point where it's competitive with projection when you have a fully light-controlled space.

my lg monitor has an option to turn off the power led when it's getting a signal which is cool. i just checked and i have the brightness all the way down to zero which is odd, because i can still see what im typing.
