I'm guessing most sports isn't in HDR, though some uk stuff might be in relative HLG HDR perhaps. Maybe the olympics will be HDR. HDR is where the ABL really kicks in usually, but the white ice in hockey can be pretty bright even in brighter SDR settings. I think ABL doesn't turn off until...

He missed hockey. That is a good test with the high contrast and small fast puck, and the white ice can make oleds go dim so would show a big tradeoff. He also at one point compared the s95c in contrast and color boost mode "since it looks pleasing in brighter room conditions" - which is sort...

Perhaps ultimately. The actual housings are under stress though and heat and cooling can cause them to expand and contract which can make housings groan and pop. Since one of his super-ultrawide G95NC screens eventually started to malfuction, the internals were likely overheating though...

I used to use metal-hallide lights on a saltwater aquarium. Their ballasts on the floor or a stand were like big ghostbusters traps. 250w each plus heater sticks, etc and a pond pump. Those were really big electric bill years. I got out of that hobby eventually though. Modern GPUs and...

I just got away from using taskbars, especially with my stream deck. Bars are ugly and a waste no matter what size+rez screen. They are like having a bumper sticker on the screen. They were made more for a single limited desktop/app real-estate screen in order to swap apps like pulling up...

If you mean the system tray by the system clock and by the notifications button... yeah that is real thorn in my side because I don't want to ever have to invoke the taskbar if I can help it. I looked around in hope that some app could clone the system tray but the only thing that does is...

I realize the whole window management thing isn't 100% on topic, though it's somewhat applicable in talking about large amounts of screen real-estate I guess. That in relation to how worth it 8k as a multi-monitor replacement would be and with what tradeoffs vs multiple 4k screens for example...

I use a stream deck (+ some displayfusion function hotkeys mapped to it) for my windows management: However, if you ever end up removing the tab bar on firefox like I outlined, you can use this add-on to replace the Min-Max-Restore buttons as one space saving button with a drop-down to all...

You can do the same thing with that floating window addon that kasakka linked and it will retain the ability to see the scrub timeline thumbnails and right click menu of youtube. I set it to ask me if I wanted a pop out window in an additional firefox instance, or maxed within the existing...

I always appreciate suggestions and learning about new stuff. Thanks for the link, they do make it for firefox too so I'll check it out. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/windowed/ At a glance it seems to still have a title bar, where the pop-out method is a full frameless video...

One of the VM stule solutions might work, but for youtube specifically, there are 3rd party youtube apps or browser addons that should allow you to toggle borderless full frame youtube videos within a window's dimensions. . . . Firefox allows things like like twitch and youtube and other...

The samsung one connect boxes, especially the latest versions, are break out boxes of the hdmi ports and circuitry which help to keep the tv slimmer. They can , at least on the samung 55" 1000R 4k ark gen 2, and supposedly on the 900C and the newer 900D, break the screen space up into...

With large desktop/app real estate , 2x4k , 4x 4k , a screen really starts to begin to be able to replace multiple monitors. Where if I had an array of two to three 4k screens across, e.g. PLP or triple landscape, or more screens in an over and under setup, I'd view the central screen...

Twice the real-estate of the G95NC, and up to 4x the real-estate of a 4k screen. No grain. Matte/abraded outer layer is a huge tradeoff on most falds to me, so that is a huge pro. The 900D is supposedly practically glossy from reports (AG lovers complain heh). Good to hear on the FALDimming...

Ouch. The 8k pro art price (see below). It'll come down a little bit but that is a "mastering monitor lite" price point tier even then. (Mastering monitors 15k - 30k+). In 2017, Dell released a 8k monitor for $5000 and that was back in 2017 dollars. ($6,400 in today's usd, ignoring...

Not really that difficult. Just set the input to pc mode on most tvs to get 444/ RGB. Just like changing the input's icon. There are tweaks you can do but in general, TVs are now usually gaming tvs, with a dedicated gaming mode and front end for it. . . "TVs are better than monitors...

It is missing something from a development standpoint, even in PC VR, at least compared to Application Spacewarp on the VR systems using that rather than the PC VR versions. But yeah, there's no reason they couldn't do that on pc games in the future if they wanted to devote the money and energy...

Yep. Like I said, it's uninformed of actual vectors, where VR does the same guessing between frames but also is informed of the head hardware movement vector so it can probably be a little more accurate in it's prediction. If everything broadcasted vectors (peripherals and in-game entities) a...

From what I read about how game servers work, The lowest "rubberband" gap you can get on a 128tick valorant server for example - is to exceed that 128tick with your local fpsHZ and get 72ms peek/rubberband as compared to someone at 60fpsHz on that same 128tick server getting 100ms. Your frame...

From what I understand, part of what VR systems do is prediction based on the system being aware of some of the hardware/peripheral vectors. Primarily, head movement. PC gaming would probably, optimally, need to be reinvented with OS, peripheral drivers, game engines/development and graphics...

Our eyes view everything relatively, so you have to take that into account. A smartphone at max brightness will look much brighter in dim to dark conditions than when viewed out in daylight or bright sunlight. PQ hdr is mastered for dim to dark viewing conditions as a solid way to roll out...

As I understand it anyway, (I'm open to other interpretations) . . it's like this: Whenever you are viewing HDR material mastered higher than your screen's capability , all of the colors on the top ~ half of your screen are probably being compressed into a lower number of values. It's...

The lower your peak nits is the lower your color volume. As I understand it, any time you use dynamic tone mapping (or HLG tonemapping and diverge from the static scale, which can do with HLG since it is is relative brightness), rather than PQ "absolute value" HDR (plus static tone mapping by...

Not mastering but they are saying the olympics in 8k streamed live, so the live content isn't being mastered like a movie would be. The cameras are going to be crazy. I'm guessing it would be in HLG type of HDR, which is relative screen brightness and is more like dynamic tone mapping...

I doubt it would be more than the 900D is currently (its possilble I guess but would place it more in a lightweight reference monitor price range rather than regular consumer range). The 900D is at a big early adopter price currently though. Gaming TVs and unique samsung ultrawide gaming...

That might be it, but this is how I understood it: It reserves that energize amount / reserved brightness amount. The wear-evening buffer. It actually does that bright line during the wear-evening process and burns all of the emitters DOWN to the lowest emitters on the screen's "depth...

From a QN900D owner's youtube video replies. His replies are a little broken language-wise so far so idk how valuable the info will be.

. . . . . Can you set the hdmi input to "PC" like you can on a LG? On LG OLED, as long as you set the hdmi input to "PC" in the input selection panels of the TV's OSD, it will be 444/rgb, even if you haven't set the named picture mode to "Game mode". You'll get more lag though due to...

What's not to love about old trek seasons? It aired for three seasons on nbc from 1966 - 1969 though I guess, not that you may not have seen it until 1974. A little before my time. I agree, very colorful.

Gen 1 of the ark couldn't really do other inputs in multi-view but I think the gen 2 can do it. Idk about the 900c, but I'm interested in whether the newer 900D can since it came out after gen 2 of the ark and that one connect box.

Flat is mostly on axis at 60 to 50 deg viewing angle. Most of the screen surface on-axis (pixels aimed close to you) Larger fields of the sides of the screen are off-axis when sitting closer, at a wider viewing angle (causing distortion, and also non-uniform depending on the screen) when...

Dual monitor has been the only way to get better of two monitor tech tradeoffs for me since at least 2006. A 65" 8k relegated to more of a desktop/app monitor than a gaming monitor doesn't fit the tiled scenario very well for me though. I disagree about flat. A 1000R(adius) curvature is a...

Agree 100% on avoiding abrasions ~ matte abraded AG outer layer. It might seem like a small facet to avoid a screen for but it's a big deal to me and makes the idea of these screens much more appealing. Also agree about the ridiculous pricing of their 8ks and flagship monitors at release...

A few big questions still remain that would potentially be huge gains over the 900C, beyond the 900D already supposedly adding detail to 4k via AI that the 900c lacks, and potentially being 20 to 30% brighter (not crazy that it might be somewhat brighter than the 900c, though it might be less...

Might depend on your expectations, and your usage scenario needs in regard to the 900D. As you know from following the AVSforum thread, the owners there said the 900D's AI upscaling upscales 1080p material with appreciable detail increase, also some word on gaming. Still no word on the...

I think it's the "slim looks sexy" thing , like apple stuff and some misc manufacturer slim design gaming laptops that end up throttling their gpu more. I'd rather have rugged and functional.

Idk why they all insist on the slim form factor. I'd prefer a thicker chasis with vented grilles, full backplane heatsink and some active cooling fans with profiles like a rugged laptop or a gpu. . . . . Maybe you could at least avoid those dips by manually adjusting the brightness peaks...

Larger (perceived) pixel sizes, larger problems. Like viewing 4k at sub-60 PPD viewing distances, or 1440p native screens. In regard to asbl I agree that options should be given, (even if they would void warranties)

I'd also remind that a lot of people were shoe-horning oversized gaming tvs directly onto a desk, so the pixel sizes were larger to their perspective, exacerbating the text fringing, (and aliasing of anything else though text-ss mapping applied to non-rgb layouts is the worst offender). So...

It was avoidable with ASBL disabled but the problem with that scene was that it was graded too dark, below 1 to 2 nit. HDTVtest did a whole episode about it showing that it was graded bad for all tvs. " A peak of 1 to 2 nits is too dark for severeral reasons: 1. The recommended...
