I’m going to put a pin in the search until 2021 working from home has significantly cut down on on the fly IT attempts, which has been very nice. only have to tend to two laptops, one work and one personal. but I should take a gander in the thread. just a peek

my parents are still rocking a pre-2010 plasma. it looks great but it’s basically like having a campfire in the living room, it’s loving crazy how much heat it puts off, I want to go it a kill-a-watt on it just to see how crazy the number is. e:^^^do you live with my parents lol

Bloody posted:are you sure you aren't thinking of plasmas yeah i'm sure. oled is considerably dimmer than competing technologies. it's gotten better but it will never be as good as lcd or plasma for added fun, due to the way oled works, the brighter you drive a pixel, the more wear and tear it incurs so burn-in is back, baby

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:i managed to only ever have plasma screens and now oled. i've never purchased or had an LCD TV in my home. i've always hated LCD with a passion for TV/movie viewing. the cheapest plasma always looked better than the most expensive LCD. i would take a plasma from 2006 over an lcd from 2020 and i'm not even joking (assuming both were brand new). ive seen the most expensive LCDs in stores and they always have the shittiest viewing angles and i always notice the motion blur/response rates i got rid of my plasma last year because lcd tvs have steadily improved blacks still aren't as good, but with enough local dimming zones they are ok. and a modern lcd is bigger, brighter, and has equal color rendition i like to think about "what might have been" with plasma, but the reality is that a modern lcd or oled is, in many ways, better than the plasmas of yore

someone post that graph of how close you have to sit to notice the difference between 1080p and 4k. i assume all the models are still chasing resolution over nice hdr contrast and reduced blur etc etc.

Notorious b.s.d. posted:yeah i'm sure. oled is considerably dimmer than competing technologies. it's gotten better but it will never be as good as lcd or plasma wrong as usual. my panasonic ST-60, which was one of the best plasma TVs made before plasma TVs died, has a spec max brightness of around 82 nits. low end oled tvs can put out around 150 full-screen nits. so "never as good" is already "nearly twice as good as the last, best generation of plasma tvs"

to be fair, the ZT-60 halo model last and literal best plasma TV ever made had a max brightness of 159 nits, so i suppose that is competitive with a bog standard oled.

are you talking dithering or something cuz i don't see how gamut and pixel count could be related.

all I know is I had an oled ps vita and every time the screen went full black you could see splotches in the OLED and it bugged more more than I liked the increased saturation so I sold it then i ran across an LCD model vita at a garage sale and bought it and black screens are just black and it no longer bothers me. I still don’t play it though because the vita has no games

I mean, the porno ban I wasn't so upset by, plenty other places online to host that, but the automatic recognition they are using is still abysmal.    and the human moderation checking department is absolutley no better.
