Definitely try out Fantasian which just came out and is by a bunch of OG Final Fantasy people (Mistwalker + Nobue Uematsu). It's a really fun nostalgia trip with a lot of the typical tropes.

Fedule posted:120fps output would be neat because it would mean you could display 24, 30 or 60 fps content without having to change the output framerate, just by using integer repetition. Crap like this is why the HDMI 2.1 spec is such a mess: most of the interesting features are optional, so HDMI 2.1 only tell us something about throughput capability - and that wasn't even the case for the receivers with botched Panasonic chips. Just start naming it HDMI 2.1vqa or something for each feature at this point. Maybe we'll get stickers with "Full HDMI 2.1" to brings us, well, full circle. VRR might be interesting for video with variable framerates (ie 60p/30p streams or videos with frame drops or terrible encoding settings). kliras fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Apr 6, 2021 |

qirex posted:The HDMI forum has specifically discouraged any idea of "full" 2.1, mostly because its members are all the electronics companies currently doing it wrong all over the market. That said if Apple has hardware that can do it all it wouldn't be bad to release it now since they only update the thing every several years. That said the probability of more than a handful of things working on an average system is super low.

I'm glad I haven't bought a laptop in a million years, because the WBBQHD viewport terms for all the options are so hilariously confusing. And some still use 16:10.

That colour calibration feature is definitely going to be exclusive to the new device, even though it's all tied to iPhone hardware, isn't it. e: Well that was some timing.

Who's gonna be the guinea pig who upgrades to tvOS 14.5 and tells us which apps break? Especially YouTube and Crunchyroll, since Google have done their all not to update any apps to comply with the tracking disclosure. Rumours say iOS might drop around 10 AM PT. Presumably tvOS would follow.

The Colour Balance feature is just about what I would come to expect from the people behind Wireless Sync: a compelling feature, but the lack of a useful before-and-after comparison is going to make a lot of people go with the original settings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYrl8k7ymxE

Man, I was losing my mind at weird audio desync, and it turns out Corridow Crew just don't know how to sync their audio in any of their YouTube videos. Still curious how framerate matching might be a factor; Twitch is still very weird, but then again, it's the Twitch app.

Also make sure to see what audio it happens with, because a YouTube video won't have the same audio a Netflix show will. A lot of YouTube channels have atrocious syncing because of bad editing.

pretty sure i just lost my original 4k remote. then again, it's also impossible to look for, so i haven't considered buying a new one, as it might emerge from the sediment of a couch cushion one day at least i've come to appreciate hdmi-cec support more. turns out double tapping the "back" button works as the return-to-home button, which means i only miss the original remote for the microphone and faster response, especially for typing text i also noticed that the touch-based navigation does a better job of hating terrible response latency in apps. it's really grating to use direction-based buttons in certain apps kliras fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Jul 21, 2022 |

the app is borderline useless tbh. it also resets my playback position most of the time, so either you watch a longer video in one go, or you just check it out on desktop instead

twitch also has basically the same problem where it doesn't save playback position correctly. on top of making it hard to watch vods ... and being unable to use a cursor to navigate instead of using multiples of playback speed is absurd for a service where people can stream six hours or more at a time

there were some rumours about tv sticks, so it wouldn't necessarily be an upgrade i think i lost my remote, and the drat thing is like half the price of a whole apple tv. lose your remote? don't worry, just buy a whole new set-top box u1 chip tracker in the next remote or bust

for video: 4k sdr, match content and framerate 4k sdr is largely because the youtube app is garbage that will show sdr content in hdr by default otherwise. just ignore tvos bothering you to set it to dv which overrides it

i think the point is to test the latency. i tried using the feature and gave up as it seemed to make the desync worse - but it doesn't help that there is zero f'ing feedback and onboarding

apple tv is pretty great overall. remotes are kinda frustrating, especially if you lose and have to replace them some of the buttons don't correspond super well to a regular remote using hdmi-cec. i still can't figure out if there's a way to close apps without a late-gen remote

the youtube app is rear end and literally the main reason to set your apple tv to "4k sdr" with "match content", because it will blow out the default sdr and show it as what you've set it to otherwise as for dv/hdr content, it's probably easier to just test and see what they look like with the different settings. i've never really watched one on youtube on the tv except right after i got it

realistically, you're not going to watch a lot of twitch. i don't think the delay is that bad nowadays for stuff like watching events, though; it used to be awful compared to mobile the best way to watch twitch is through pip, but i don't think it's available on tvos. depends on the kinds of streamers you watch of course. the main problem with non-desktop twitch are all the third-party emotes most streamers use that won't display without the extensions nowadays also they improved the seeking and scrubbing so you don't have to use the fast forward crap anymore. i also think it's more consistent about saving you watch position now; it used to be terrible

wifi dropping on wake-up is like the oldest apple bug in the world; i used to have it on my macbook. i guess there's no new firmware update that shipped when tvos 17 dropped for later models that you could try? when you say restart, do you mean turning it on and off or using the dedicated restart feature? i had to use that one after tvos 17 dropped because of something i forget not working after the update

American McGay posted:I think I remember some default setting to "match content to the menus" where it'll convert it to fake HDR/DV so that when switching between menus and content your screen doesn't flicker while changing modes. You can turn it off if you want but I'm not sure it actually hurts anything unless you're a calibrated screen kinda guy. youtube's one of the apps that are displayed incorrectly if you don't do it
