Audiophile speaker cables make me angry

Yes, I would agree with this because unless the video was uncompressed, modern compression and codecs should be fine. Mass storage is cheap and really wouldn’t be a bottleneck for someone who has the dough for that kinda setup anyway. Although you might run out of space on a blu-ray

Ya my panel is uhd 3840×2160, my point is pixels have diminishing return after a certain point and something like HDR has a much bigger effect on the image, I still remember watching The Grand tour for the first time in HDR it was incredible looking.

Panel tech also plays a role, I really like my oled, its soo nice for the rare time I watch movies or tv

I really want a OLED for my home theater set up, my old 3D Samsung in on it’s last legs, and has a burnt out strip of LEDs that’s super fucking annoying to look at.

I really like oleds, but they aren’t the greatest as a display for a pc or for games, but for media they are great

I’m still using an HD plasma TV from Panasonic (mostly cause I have it calibrated to my liking)
Panasonic Oleds are currently the industry leaders but Samsung will be bring out quantum dot oleds next year.
I’m personally considering getting an ultrashort throw projector (not for any cinephile reason, but I stare into a monitor all day and a projector screen is less harsh on my eyes.)

As for Compression being a factor. an equal space holding the same level of compression between 4k and UHD, a file in UHD have a factor of up to 16 more minutes difference in file length

Lol I had never gotten a plasma because I was too worried about having something burn into the screen

Eh, its about the same as OLED TBH

Or it pulling the studs out of the wall and killing your dog.

I am very careful with mine lol, don’t want to risk anything

See that’s a real problem. Plasmas are effing heavy (almost crushed myself with one like 10years back taking it off the wall, it weighed like a ton)

Oh I remember, my dad had a 60in pioneer elite plasma back in the day, that thing was like trying to lift a car engine to hang on the wall :joy:

Modern OLEDs (and most TVs in generally) work well for gaming compared to how they did 5 years ago. The 2019 LG C series has good input latency and even supports variable refresh rate now. I own a LG B7 and I find it’s really worth using on games with great visuals and HDR.

Well, as far as horsepower vs torque, notice I didn’t say “more horsepowerful” but “more powerful” :slight_smile: The ratio of hp vs torque obviously depends. Also I’m talking about application specific upgrades - not crazy ish just for the sake of doing it - don’t really have interest in that. Sure you could put a big block Chevy in a Civic but then the motor weighs more than the car lol. If you care about handling that’s pretty terrible.

Yeah that makes sense, I was mainly just warning against doing something that wouldn’t be appropriate for the application

I use an OLED as my main work monitor. My panel got some very minor burn in in one of the corners at some point… not sure from what. But in general use it wasn’t visible. Only faintly visible in full field red. Had an extended warranty on it though, so was able to get a brand new panel installed after 2 years of heavy use. IMO, even with minor burn in potential, the trade-offs for the picture quality on OLED are worth it to me.

It’s a bit like a motor with shopping cart wheels lol. Also go really slow around corners…flippability would be excellent.
