    Let's design a new PSP

    but if don't would want to engage the handheld marked again, then that's what they would need to focus on. Nintendo prove, that they can take some existing hardware (shield devices) that had barely success and make it a hit. Sony on the other side releases a few high class titles and then nearly...

    Sony Playstation Meeting September 7 2016 [PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro, Rumors, Speculations, and News]

    It could be just a stupid licensing fee they don't want to pay. BR is ~$10 already (+tax), not sure, but UHD might be some extra cost.

    ah, I didn't know. seems you have quite some inside knowledge of that tech. thanks for sharing and welcome to Beyond3D :) with HDR, the range should be linear and not log, hence it should be less of a problem, right? I also wonder if back projected might be more suitable for HDR. Are the LCOS...

    shouldn't the frequency be orthogonal to the PWM signal? the width of the 'up' should define the amount of steps, not the frequency.

    do they really add up for range? I see how it can work for resolution increase or color separation(to avoid rainbowing), but for range? wouldn't that just divide the range by 3 in best case, which is just an 1.6bit increase in range? From 10s googling, the current limit seems to be 12bit. with...

    Seems there are two HDR projectors for $3000 and $4000 from epson, 5040UB and 6080UB, both 1080p (with some "4k enhancement"). But it's LCD which sounds suspicious to me for HDR. I'm with Rurouni, 4k is maybe fine, but I'm all excited for HDR. what are actually the spec limits for HDR? is it...

    had a 720p before, when I got the 1080p, I've switched my PS3 to 1080 ofc. But to my surprise, games started to look noticeably worse (if they had 1080p support). In particular Gran Turismo had less anti aliasing (it looked like 2x instead of 4x in 720p), due to higher pixel frequency things...

    PS4 Pro has 2.25x speed up over the previously fastest console, if that's not worth it, then 1.5x of scorpio over PS4 Pro should be even less noticeable in games. To make up for the 4x resolution, keeping the same per pixel quality, we'd actually need 7.2TFlops (considering everything scales...

    there are two mainstream techs, -LCD which has pretty much the same limitations as displays -DLP which works with color-wheels and micro mirrors. These have a wide gamut (IMO that's the most interesting part of HDR), and these micro mirrors are apparently already easy enough to control at...

    Nintendo announce: Nintendo NX

    Maybe this Mario endless runner is the tribut N has to pay to A to get a flawless interop between NX and the A-Displays (iphone,ipad,ipod). It might not the broadest market anymore, yet an important one.

    Sony Playstation Meeting September 7 2016 [PS4 Slim, PS4 Pro, Rumors, Speculations, and News]

    O'rly. what sorcery is that? :O My projector is processing/outputting 10bit/channel already (and I actually think most projectors are processing more than 8 bit already), while a lot of screens still do 6bit dithered magic. hence I hope there is a way to get HDR working with my existing...

    :D:D:D but how would they sell that to main stream (which is the target for consoles). You can see a bigger screen, a higher resolution screen, maybe even believe to see HDR (although I'm worried people will mix that up with the HDR tone mapping of photo app toys). but if you place two TVs, one...

    Nintendo announce: Nintendo NX

    that's exactly my saying. why would most want another display if they already have a quality tablet? Even if you had a bad tablet with a $35screen, why would you want a device with exactly that bad screen again? It's fine to sell a gameboy with a build in lcd, as nobody at that time had another...

    Nintendo announce: Nintendo NX

    for all my stationary consoles I provide exactly that essential part, die display. (I actually have no TV, I had to buy a projector for playing consoles.) I know that feeling. I remember having a TV that was not compatible with my SNES. It had the mechanical connections, but something (I think...

    Nintendo announce: Nintendo NX

    I think it's rather a very common way to sell products and doesn't confuse people. for "cheap" you get your small mcd-fries, your cheap samsung galaxy mini/neo, your toyota, your.. it's not a bad product, it's just the core/base. Not all your mp3 will fit, no A/C included, neither is a 'free'...
