- vladvasiliu 10mo agoI don't particularly like that, but even so, it doesn't preclude having a "standard" or "no enhancement" option, even if it's not the default. On my TCL TV I can turn off "smart" image and a bunch of other crap, and there's a "standard" image mode. But I'm not convinced that's actually "as close to reference as the panel can get". One reason is that there is noticeable input lag when connected to a pc, whereas if I switch it to "pc", the lag is basically gone, but the image looks different. So I have no idea which is the "standard" one. Ironically, when I first turned it on, all the "smart" things were off.
- Melatonic 10mo agoSometimes PC mode reduces image quality (like lowering bit depth) at the expense of lower input lag
- vladvasiliu 10mo agoIs there a way to verify this other than breaking out a colorimeter (which I happen to have)?
- account42 10mo agoFor bit depth issues, displaying a test pattern is probably the best test.
- thesuitonym 10mo agoI'm not certain this is true. TVs have become so ludicrously inexpensive that it seems the only criteria consumers shop for is bigger screen and lower price.
