  I hope this is satire, bc the title alone makes me lose faith in humanity. Soon enough, people will just believe AI is actually intelligent and try to give it rights.

  Check out the next evolution, PeLED or PeNC. Perovskite LED or Perovskite Nano Crystal.

  Should oulast LED 3x+, better brightness, better contrast, way better refresh rates with less ghosting, smaller pixel/higher density, etc.

  Well, yes and no. h.265 (HEVC) made it far better for UHD streaming to an extent. Around half the bandwidth of h.264 but 4x more pixels, so you only go up 2x bandwidth.

  Now we have .AV1 and h.266 (VCC) formats which need adoption first before we can really push 8K/UHD content. Again, not 100% accurate, but around 3-5x bandwidth of h.264 but is ~15x pixels.

  We’ve come a long way!

  That’s kind of what I’m getting at. Once you hit a certain size, it only makes sense to have a certain resolution. I know jumping from 65" to 85" made all my Plex content “blurry” bc it wasn’t good enough quality/bitrate. Reripping BD and 4K BD used h.265 and 12-15GB/hr per UHD file was way better!

  Idk what 8K looks like, but for those new 98"+ displays, I wouldn’t go any bigger unless 8K. 42-50" Max FHD, I would say 85" Max UHD. You can’t really sit any further in a LR, so being that close I’d want it that way. Plus, it’d require the faster refresh rate to not look so bad moving over that much surface area.

  I’m just excited for PeLED or PeNC (Perovskite LED / Nano Crystal). 😎🤯 sorry, off topic…

  To add… It would only matter in large format displays anyway. Pixel density is only going to matter so much.

  I remember when Sharp put out their Aquos 70" FHD TV and I thought, “eww, so grainy”! But now I’ve got a 85" UHD with the same density as a ~42" FHD which helps with clarity since my viewing distance hadn’t really changed (~10ft).

  FPS is great and all, but not when most content is 24fps-60fps. 120 is an awesome sweet spot for 24fps content since its 5hz per frame.

  IMO UHD still has room for growth and adoption before another tech hits. Not to mention the financial strains everyone’s in due to the fucking billionaire squeeze… And they wonder why people are tight on money?! Fucking idiots!

  I might install it just for Hover!

  Waterfox or LibreWolf now. Opera and Vivaldi are Chromium.

  Copilot is just re-skinned ChatGPT hosted on Azure. It’s funny how so many claim GPT to be so great and yet Copilot is branded the class glue eater.

  I’m not sticking up for MS either, they’re bad enough shoving it in everyone’s faces.

  The most annoying thing is the immediate price hikes on consumer RAM and then blaming AI as if they’re even the same module types!
