1080p is good enough for computer video games, and motion pictures. Heck, even 1080i is :greencube:

If an old TV hasn't died yet, it probably won't.

this is a good point but otoh i've done desktopping on both high-refresh and high-dpi screens and i don't want to go back from either so my next display has to be capable of both

that being said my laptop doesn't seem to have the bandwidth for both over its thunderbolt connection :(

if only. just look forward to every game in 2023 having every character be a perfect machine-learnt statistical mean of a person.

not that that will be very different from a lot of games already.

control is okay, but there's something really weird about the controls which is appropriate. also you can't turn motion blur off

I seriously thought my controls were hosed up, like constantly adjusting sensitivity and poo poo, but it was just the game. I think they used the motion blur to hide that because it wasn't a performance issue

screen tearing was really bad too, that's a performance issue, but it just seemed really bad
