1080p HDR image better than 4k non HDR ?

The problem is their voice though.

 

I think that was a not so subtle jab at ps4p's checkboard rendering tech.

 

I am in the same situation. I got a TV each generation of consoles, accordingly, a HD Ready TV for the X360, a Fulll HD TV when I switched generations in 2013, a couple of months ago the new consoles came out, and now I am thinking about getting a new TV next year, 4K HDR, 1000 nits or candelas and affordable.

But this 1080p set turned out to be soooo good that I want a 4k panel but I am not in a hurry. A projector is out of the equation 'cos afaik it doesn't produce HDR.

 

I have the 43" Sony X800D as an upgrade to my 32" XBR6. It's great.
Here's an informative review, and a link to the official avs forum thread for it, for those interested.

Fwiw, while in a room with the shades drawn I can keep the brightness at its lowest setting, so it's rating of being just 375cd/m² shouldn't scare off those looking to use it for PC gaming. http://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/picture-quality/peak-brightness

I posted a review at Best Buy after having it a while.

...it isn't really, but according to Samsung only 20% of the population watches TV in a dark room, and depending how bright the room is , the difference between 500-1000-4000 nits is nothing significant. Sony's latest local dimming TV is also some 60% heavier than OLED, and I don't think you will see that "trickling down" into 30" size, and as you said OLED is 5-600 nits (and that already takes a toll on motion handling, there's a good chance it's either HFR or 500nits ).

 

I have to wonder how Samsung know this.

 

There's a reason they put those cameras in your Smart TV, and it isn't Skype...

 

Which is incredible considering any PS4 got this from a firmware upgrade.

Now all I need is $30,000 to upgrade my projector, and pay my debts. Kutaragi was right all along, I need a second job to play video games!

 

Even my 8 years old Panasonic TV has a small light sensor

 

Has it been revealed how the ps4 hdr will actually work yet?

 

Presumably, it's a question stemming from how they can generalize the population when not 100% of consumers (let alone samsung TV owners) have hooked up the TV to the intarweb.

Yeah, it was for sure a generalization on Samsung part.

Anyway, I´ve got the Big Brother shot, my appliance is spying on us, lol

 

And regularly beams the light level and viewing hours back to Samsung?

 

Nope, my Panny it´s not one of those chinese brandless electronics with a chip inside calling home, so they say

It was probably a generalization by Samsung, they get the usage pattern from their customers in those smart connected Tvs, well you know that.

 

ohh gee, why nits for luminance ... use SI units. It's cd/m2.

 

Yes please. How to get rid of nits

 

You know, as a layman, I find nit much easier to type than cd/m2 ... it looks better too. As the conversion is 1-1, if cd/m2 is becoming a thing in conversations about HDR TVs, I'm totally for bringing back nit.

 

I went to Walmart the other day and compared 1080P displays vs. 4K displays. The 4K displays did look clearer and better, but not by a huge amount. I had to get very close (perhaps a foot away) to see the pixels in the 4K monitor. However, I also had to get pretty close to see them in the 1080P monitor/TV. At the normal distance I would be gaming if I were to get a console and monitor, I wouldn't notice a big difference.

If I were to go out and buy a display, I'd stick with 1080P unless I was wealthy and had money to burn.
