A new study published in Nature by University of Cambridge researchers just dropped a pixelated bomb on the entire Ultra-HD market, but as anyone with myopia can tell you, if you take your glasses off, even SD still looks pretty good :)

    I think high end smasnugs do that. But yeah same, I have a Chromecast and I just sling stuff to the TV. Its tuner hasn’t been used in a decade.

    Speaking of decade… I should probably upgrade that thing. But it’s big enough, dark enough (LDC, but at least not a crappy LCD), and high enough resolution for it’s size and distance from my couch (1080, 50 inches, 10 or 15 feet) that I just can’t justify replacing it. I wish it would die already lol.

    Maybe if I move and get a big enough bedroom, I’ll put it in there, and upgrade to something with HDR. I really wanna get in on some good HDR. Seems like it’s getting really good and really affordable if you buy the right thing.

      I have an LG 42" 4K OLED, but I miss my 42" 720p Panasonic plasma for it’s simplicity. If it didn’t decide to die, I’d have kept it. The colours on OLED are impressive on Dolby Vision content from my Google Streamer, I’ll admit, but yea, I’m basically using my TV to display content from external hardware, the tuner, WiFi, Bluetooth etc will all be dormant it’s entire life.
