On a good screen, HDR is probably the biggest upgrade of all time as far as image quality.

First time I saw it on a really nice OLED, I admit to being a bit in awe. But I personally think sd to hd was a bigger leap. Growing up with 13-27in tube TV's then suddenly seeing glorious 1080i on an hd rear projection made everything that came before it immediately obsolete in my book. I can still watch plenty of 1080p sdr content and be perfectly happy.

I never had an actual HDTV until like 2014 - I consumed most media on my PC starting in about 2005 and I went from having a CRT to a 4:3 LCD, to a sub-1080p 16:10 LCD, and finally in about 2010 I got my first 1080p monitor. But really at no point was there an eye-opening moment where I went "holy poo poo" until I got an OLED display.

The analogue without error correction to digital with error correction made a big difference, as did the increased colour space.
OLED with HDR still looks loving amazing in comparison, but to me the biggest thing is because of the contrast between when pixels are lit and when they aren't.

I'm still not paying a premium for something like that, though - especially when it also involves investing in 4K, which in turn involves upgrading all the devices that output to the TV in some form, as well as replacing all of the media that I've legally ripped to back it up.

Certainly in raw user experience if not quality if you were using a good VHS deck (we were not using a good VHS deck), hell DVD still looks really good if you use a player that can do decent upscaling like a PS3.

I ripped my Alias DVDs because they have the original music on them and the streaming version has been replaced with awful royalty-free music, and when I watch them I'm hard-pressed to tell the difference.

DVD looks exactly as good as any other 480p video you can get your hands on, i.e. not very good. It was great on a standard definition CRT coming off of analog video, but beyond that it's not ideal. The leap to 1080p/Blu-ray is way more impactful than the VHS to DVD jump IMO. I still watch plenty of content at 1080p and even on a 4K TV it looks good.

I still see TV's out in the wild with the Soap Opera Motion Smoov setting turned on and it hurts my very soul that people watch media this way. The only reason I can think of why it even became a feature is so manufactures could include a "Big Number" on their sales placard. It looks so horrific.

Yeah they did this with Scrubs too, which is extra hosed because some episodes are literally built around a specific song so the Netflix version makes no sense.

What's going to happen when enough kids' parents keep their TVs' motion smoothing settings on and they grow up thinking on-screen media is just supposed to look like that?

Hopefully 120hz TVs become the new standard and the need for frame interpolation disappears.

Aren't they already the standard. It's more that the content is 24fps.

24 evenly multiplies into 120, so frame interpolation isn’t necessary on such tvs is I think the point.

isn't another factor that the very fast response time of OLEDs makes 24fps content look choppier than it did on an LCD, so manufacturers are using interpolation to "fix" that too

yeah camera pans and the like don't look very smooth, which is why people like james cameron have explored hfr (high framerate) remasters of their movies to work around it

they use a special name for it that i forget

Yeah, and most TVs are still 60hz. It's only in the last year or so that they've really started to come out in numbers but they're also still up around the $800 mark.

Shipon posted:

Digital Foundry did a whole video saying the same thing though, specifically around Forza Horizon 5's graphics mode. The problem most often isn't raw framerate but frame time stability. I didn't know MGS5 on the Xbox One wasn't 60fps until I was told.

As everyone who bought a Steam Deck or a 120hz TV and a PS5 knows, 40fps is the golden territory.

Modern mini-LED displays (so not Samsung's older QLED stuff, though I haven't tried their newer TVs) are as good or better at rendering contrast ranges as OLED. I like my LG OLED TV just fine and the color reproduction might be a touch better, but like, Apple didn't move to mini-LED instead of OLED because they wanted "good enough".

I used to be able to tolerate 30fps Fidelity modes on PS5 no problem but since I got a 120Hz TV, I no longer can. It actively fucks with my eyes and I can feel them trying to focus on individual frames. Even 60fps is noticeably choppier, though not intolerable. Pixel response time is certainly a major factor.

edit: Also my relatives insist on having their TV on TruMotion and I turn it off whenever I'm there and they insist it looks like poo poo with it turned off, and turn it back on. :negative:

The whole reason consumer 3D accelerators are a thing is because the Voodoo enabled playing those games specifically at higher framerates.

No kidding. 30fps is certainly "playable" (yes I also played Quake and Carmageddon at <30fps back in the day too) for some games but lmao that 30 vs 60 is like night and day difference when you interact with the game.

24fps is the correct framerate for video though :colbert:
