The_Franz posted:4K is sticking because it's not a gimmick, just another incremental evolution. 10 years ago 720p displays were phased out as 1080p became the standard and now it's going to 4K. It doesn't carry a $1000 premium like the curved displays and doesn't require everyone to wear goofy glasses like 3D did. yeah but 3d technology is just an application of an incremental evolution, super high refresh rates. the HD to 4k transition is nowhere near as striking as the SD to HD transition, nor is it accompanied by a nationwide format change. in 10 years literally everyone went from having a 4:3 CRT tv to having a 16:9 hdtv and no new technology is going to recapture that rate of adoption on its own

I'd probably be super frustrated trying to manually twiddle with the shape of things instead of going "ok rotate this specific constrained arc around this specific constrained line" etc, but I get why artists prefer to do it the other way

I read somewhere that it might just be the higher levels of hormones in the blood that makes people "feel" better after these transfusions. So people might just need a pill rather than actually harvesting blood from poor saps.

HDR is only going to work correctly when each pixel is its own light source anyway. so either it's OLEDs or go back to CRT

LED-TVs (Samsung calls them QLED TVs, q for quantum dot) are probably the best bet for potential future display technologies that allow for real HDR. But that's still a few years out. OLED has way too many issues at the moment.

If it's just plasma that's probably not from a charitable donation blood bank but from poor young people selling their plasma for food money. I don't know which is more late-capitalism

Yeah oled still has problems, but they're getting smaller with time. I just need my monitor to last ~10 years (the one I'm using now is going to be 10 years old next summer), not forever. my psvita and htc vive have oled and it owns

The Bloop posted:I have a plasma TV and aside from getting HOT on extended use I love it to death.

Pretty obvious dithering really destroys any illusion of quality as soon as you're sitting close enough. Truga posted:Yeah oled still has problems, but they're getting smaller with time. I just need my monitor to last ~10 years (the one I'm using now is going to be 10 years old next summer), not forever. OLED has severe burn-in problems, it would be obvious after a few months of usage with a monitor. TVs have burn-in prevention that runs after after a few hours of use to try to homogenize the picture. But they still suffer from burn-in pretty regularly. Just check any OLED phone after a while: Even though they move elements around to reduce the effect, they all suffer obvious burn-in. Maximum brightness is also pretty low for big screens. It's unlikely these problems will be solved soon, unless we find more durable organic material for OLEDs. Lambert has issued a correction as of 19:34 on Dec 11, 2018 |

Elon Musk, when you're done jacking it to this thread, I will keep you as young and beautiful as you already are by cumming on your face for only $1 million a rope. I'm a young trans woman millennial, and my sperm is absolutely sterile, and filled with extra healing factors and women skin flakes, which I know you like. Again, you will not become uglier if you let me jack off on your face. No touching, no talking, and you will be blindfolded, gagged, and had your nose chemically disabled. call me

Pretty obvious dithering really destroys any illusion of quality as soon as you're sitting close enough. I've never had a major burn in problem. Video game HUDs sometimes get ghosty for a while after long sessions, but you can only see it if the screen is basically white and it goes away quickly. I sit about 9' from a 55" TV as recommended, so being "too close" isn't really an issue.
