I used Stadia for a while, but after a couple months, the compression started to bum me out. It really worked great, and playing the latest Assassin's Creed on a $200 Chromebook is really something else. But when I would switch to my main TV, I started thinking about how I had given up on the last uncompressed input to my TV; my game console. Dark area blocks, color banding, it all started driving me nuts.
- gruez 6y agoYeah same here. For me it's a bit more obvious. Basically scenes that have heavy foliage + motion turns into a smeary mess.
- martinald 6y agoI agree. I actually find watching game trailers on YouTube pretty pointless, as everything turns into mush and it totally loses the "precision" of the graphics. I found these cloud streaming services similar, though not quite as extreme. I think bitrates need to be considerably higher. 4K Blu-ray uses close to 100mbit/sec, but movies have the advantage of not requiring really low latency encoding which means it is far more efficient with bitrate. I think probably looking at well over 100mbit/sec to get good PQ on these services.
