I do all my main watching/gaming on the 80 the 55 TCL was for my wife in the living room and my son has a 65 4K (Edge) in his bedroom for his gaming.

Holy ****! We only have two TVs in the entire house ... and neither of them are in any of the bedrooms.

 

[jye4ever]

An 80” tv in the bedroom is equivalent to being on Mercury

 

[Khev]

An 80" TV in every room of the house = 21st century harem.

lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

What setups do you guys have right now?

55" Sony... sadly, when I moved 2 years ago our sofa had to be placed farther away so that 55" looks like a 45" from 15 feet away.

I was really looking at 75" just to get back to my old experience of being closer to the screen.

 

[Wor-Gar]

The 4K/120 and 8k/60 capability will be one of the big selling points to usher in 8k because it requires HDMI standard 2.1 which no 2018 has that can actually be utilized not even the super expensive Q9 or LG OLEDs. Maybe they have certain functionalities of 2.1 but not the main important one.

Can you clarify the bold for a novice please?

 

[jye4ever]

One word is all you need to know:

BANDWITH!

2.0 pipeline not optimal for the massive transfer of data that 4K/120 and 8K/60 requires.

All this just for stupid videogames and maybe sports

Because unless Cameron is going to deliver Avatar 2 at 120fps it’s freaking useless lol

C’mon give US OUR 3D BACK because THAT I USE!

I am perfectly happy gaming at 30fps and **** sports!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Got it. Thanks.

I love when new tech is available but they don't mention that the required tech to use it is not.

 

[Khev]

At one point Cameron said that the new Avatar movies would do 24fps for the live-action elements but 60fps for the CGI since he didn't like how The Hobbit's HFR made the actors look. We'll see if he ever changed his tune on that one especially since getting his hands on the Mirage 4KLH RGB laser projection system last year which is capable of 120fps. I remember that Brian Singer was initially on the HFR bandwagon as well and then quickly jumped off after Hobbit's mixed reviews.

 

[Wor-Gar]

HFR takes the "movie look" right out of the movie.

Theatrical experience is supposed to be an omniscient experience -- and that 'film look' gives you some distance, some separation from reality. HFR starts to look 'too real' and therefore brings the movie-going experience down to the common level the eye sees every day. It takes away what's special about a movie. That elegant barrier that makes movie stars, action heroes and gigantic monsters 'seem' real enough yet bigger and better.

And HFR is going to ruin practical effects.

 

[Khev]

Yeah HFR makes it seem like you're watching a 200 million dollar play, lol.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Expertly put.

 

[jye4ever]

Not just practical but cgi has to be near flawless for it to survive the HFR effect.

HFR means real life which makes sense that it destroys weak cgi but even great practical gets exposed!

HFR is for sports and moon landings.

THAT BEING SAID make no mistake about it an HFR moving image at 8K will be blistering laser sharp perfection gorgeous.

Cameron must have something tech wise up his sleeve right?

Is the delay because he’s trying to get that secret “something” to be finalized.

 

[punisher1974]

I have an 80”

in my bedroom



But my wife has to settle for a 10” while in the bedroom.

That remote seems awfully small for a tv that size Jye.

 

[jye4ever]

Did I say 10 I meant 12 cough cough.

 

[punisher1974]

I figured that's what you meant

[Sweet Rabbit]

I don’t even have a tv in the bedroom

 

[Wor-Gar]

I wish I didn't. Wife watches Sex and the City every night to fall asleep. I feel like the Manchurian Candidate -- when I hear that music I want to kill.
