OLED 4K is no joke!

On what type of monitor ?

I still have issues on a 2004 24" Dell LCD. It requires loops of white black cycles every day for at least 30 minutes to remove the after images of my windows desktop, even if the desktop monitor is only on for 3 hours. Every single user can see the horrible image retention on this monitor. Its almost image burn in, but since its fixable itsnot considered burn in.

The gaming image retention, which is not burn in and does get resolved quickly, was on a 54" Plasma and only happens after weeks of gaming the same game for 6 hours a day but it is resolved quickly by running its white bar sweep pattern. Also just watching normal video resolves it as well, butthat takes a bit longer. Normal users cant tell its even there, but i can tell its there if I display a completely black screen, I notice the parts where the game hud isnt as black as the other parts. Some might not even call it image retention, since its not that the display pixels are stuck bright or on, they just dont hit the same exact black levels as the others.

Since you werent even aware of motion resolution, you wouldnt even notice what I call image retention on my Plasma.

It wasn't this one, was it??! Costy.

That is downright tempting.

It's my birthday soon. Well, March. But I deserve one.

I'm sure someone will give you one

Goddammit OLED!

I've never been in a movie theater since around a year before the pandemic, and now is the first time I'm going to a movie theater again.

Goddamit OLED destroyed the image quality of movie theater.

- no hdr, looks washed out, dead color
- low resolution (not noticeable after around 15 minutes in)

The laser protector at a movie theater should still look good. But your are correct I have an OLED and the visuals are so superb that many others look pretty bad. I found a bit of an uncanny valley effect though at first. Some content looked weird with so much detail in places and lacking in others. More obviously fake. I've gotten used to it though now.

I have a 10" OLED tablet. I sit really close to it and pretend I have a swanky tele.

A properly calibrated 4K OLED with HDR/DV and proper 4K content is next level.
You really notice the step up in quality when you are regularly watching documentaries etc where they are regularly filming in 4K.

4K thumbs up. Really wish more movies were like this but sometimes the increase in detail shows you the pitfalls of their props/effects.

OLED combined with Bluray is great, but very low and uniform black levels are the key to OLED performance compared to LCD and plasma!
Before OLED I had a plasma HDTV just for black levels.

Just saw Eternals with the OLED and the space scenes are great!

Saw they'd just released this on Disney+. Definitely on my list for this weekend on my creaky old C6. Shame there's no 3D version.

I watched The Dark Knight Rises again on UHD Blu-ray. Stupid story but everything filmed in IMAX looks really fucking great.

Lol Blueray 3d is amazing on the C6 man, much more immersive than regular viewing as long as you're up close in a dark room and don't mind cutting yourself off from the world by wearing the glasses.

Definitely not an option for everyday viewing but when you just want to fully immerse yourself in a film, especially a visual showcase like the Marvel movies then it's unrivalled.

Unfortunately very few got to experience it this way (or want to be that immersed in a film) which is a large part of why it's died out.

I can't agree more. I have that old Full HD Panasonic plasma TV that doesn't want to die. Watching Gravity 3d on it was the best 3d experience I ever had.

 

[orangpelupa]

Yeah, a good designed 3d movies are amazing.

With psvr2 oled screen, it will be a really nice for virtual cinema.

 

[Laurent06]

BTW this makes me think some higher-end projectors have kept the 3d support. Given that the processing power of current TV is enough to drive 120 Hz screens, I have a hard time believing 3d support would add a lot to the cost of a high-end TV set (yeah I know every added feature has validation costs, but still...). Has this become some form of market segmentation? Or did projector makers decide to support 3d to distinguish them even more from large TV sets?

And to stay on topic, I'm resigned and my next TV set will very likely be 4k OLED. But that will wait until my plasma dies...

I've heard this mentioned in the past. Can you actually play 3d bluerays within VR? Does PS5 even support the format?

If so it could be a serviceable stand in for my C6 when it inevitably fails.

There are a bunch of 3D video players for SteamVR. Pick a file and choose the 3D format in the player.

But I have doubts that you will find watching a movie in a HMD to be enjoyable. That's a lot of face and eyeball time in an uncomfortable heated scuba mask with camera panning horrors and stuff from a traditional movie.

Dunno ps5 can do it or not. I don't have it yet

But I suppose you can install video player on it
