That definitely doesn't sound like a conclusive analysis.

I don't think that means that. I have a CRT I keep around 100 nits and it still has an order of magnitude higher quality color with a lamp behind me to the side.

Yes, why would that change anything? The only reason it's bearable is because they specifically engineer the movies to avoid motion above a certain speed as much as possible.

Just don't run it 24/7, then. I feel like anyone who can actually notice this already has an apartment that provides free electricity. EDIT: Wait, my feeling was right. Your rates are also an order of magnitude above the rest of t

Do you work at Tom's Hardware? This is why you can't buy a TV based on internet reviews.

The article is shit, but all I could find is that RTings measured 80 nits on some plasma TV. So it wouldn't surprise me. But this is fine. OLED is low brightness too. And CRTs can be adjusted down. This is one of the advantages of not

Did I just enter some bizzarro world where 500W is now considered high?

Uhh, 24FPS is always choppy, even without judder. Stuttering is not even a possible result of pixel response speeds. Only choppiness. So I assume that's what you mean. The only way to "fix" this is interpolation. So what are

Not everyone in the company has the same knowledge.

there's a very small chance that cloud gaming may one day work. even if that small window of opportunity exists, the incompetent game industry will miss it.

This article explains what every figures out when making their own engine (and basing it off guessing what other games do and reading 2 blogposts instead of diving into philosophical rabbit holes). It also misses that most games are made wi

The last thing I want to know about my lightbulb is that it has a REST API. Now, hearing that it is "smart" is just inconceivable.

"Edison bulb" refers to a style and not anything to do with the quality of light. And you will probably get LED and a buggy one at that. Get incandescents, never ever use CFL because they look terrible and will make you want to ki

Ads are one of the very first things I imagine when hearing about "Smart TVs". That and slow, unresponsive, buggy menus which are worse than Win9x or Windows XP on a 15 year old PC with K-Lite Codec Pack.

Not sure what you're talking about. From the article I got that the monitor works without the extra features like audio and camera with a standard DP cable with USB-C connector, which is good enough for someone shopping for just a moni

Maybe OLED will already be good enough no? I haven't read up much yet on it, but I learned yesterday that the ABL feature I feared (which causes the image brightness to change substantially based on the content on screen) might be disa

Pretend there is meaningful market segmentation here all you want. At the end of the day all one has to do is plug in the DP cable and it will work as a regular monitor, and this probably bypasses some of the input lag of the built in OS.

72Hz, 96Hz, 120Hz, 240Hz, all fix pulldown and will all look exactly the same side by side. 72Hz (75Hz is normally what's tested) is noticeably smoother than 60Hz. Most 60Hz monitors support 75Hz, but since we're talking about nic

Lots of LCDs have exponentially more input lag when you drop them from their higher refresh rates to lower. For instance (from data sources like TFT Central or Rtings) it's common to see a 120Hz monitor have 2ms input lag but then at 6

It turns out, for basic computer use cases, like scrolling on a website, motion clarity matters. My holy grail (for something usable from current PCs) is - fast pixel response (CRTs are close, but the light to dark transitions fail) -
