    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    To that point, I love both higher res and better contrast seen with OLEDs and "needed" 2 tvs anyway. So i got the 77 a95l and 85 qn900c. My holy grail would be this: --90 inches + --8k --QD Oled --Improved reflection handling tech for QD OLED --Even more advanced upscaling/image processing...

    Sony A95L QD-OLED (New for 2023)

    What I found most surprising is from my viewing distance the XR cognitive processor also does some noticeable improvements to 4K streaming content, not just 1080p. It makes 4K look like better 4K. You'll see it in human hair, eyes, and if there's any minor blurring around the face from a further...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    To each his own. I definitely prefer the closer THX recommendation.

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Sorry what does the mfgs acronym people keep referring to? I know it has something to do with the companies selling TVs, but specifically.

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Fair enough. Simply figured I'd post given the title of this thread. It may not be a great 8k monitor. But it's an 8k monitor, and they're rare to come by so far. Lol

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    What I saw was a 4k version of a nature scene on a Samsung S95c 77 inch, versus the same exact scene in an 8k version on a thumb drive on the LG z2. We can split hairs about me not knowing what the bit rate for each was or any number of factors, as these forums are all about splitting hairs...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    The only way for something like this to be definitive would be to (1) Get a gigantic sample size, (2) demonstrate no difference in distinguishing 8k and 4k beyond chance (50%) outside of standard deviation, (3) replicate study several times. People can take my A B comparison with a grain of...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    It's hard to find a situation with like for like content with respective 4k and 8k resolutions for each set. I was lucky enough to get that and the difference was striking. It's an issue of granular detail. It comes out especially in sand, hair, clothing texture, things of that nature. It's not...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    http://www.hometheaterengineering.com/viewingdistancecalculator.html According to this the recommended THX viewing distance for 77 inches is 8.5 feet, not 12. 8-8.5 been consistent with my preference of getting to a 35-40 degree viewing angle. At that distance it's very easy to spot a 4k...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    At home I sit 8 feet away from a 77 inch a95l. It'll be the same for the 85 inch QN900c I just ordered for a different room. I might increase to 9 feet. I can clearly see the difference at that distance. People sit too far away for a cinematic experience. I went from being bored with movies to...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Also, regarding VR, Quest 3 was the first minimum viable viewing experience I've seen (before that had only seen Q2 and Reverb G2, and wasn't impressed with either due to the dumpster fire ringed fresnel lenses). To get from minimum viable to "compelling" we really need those 3.5k + per eye...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I planned to drop numerous grand on one or multiple TVs which I just did. Before doing this I spent hours in BB (literally around 6 hours over the course of multiple days and multiple locations). Conclusion -8k is the truth, to my eyes. I saw the QN800c side by side with a similarly priced 4k...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Well I got the nice high bandwidth HDMI cable in, and I still can't get either Nvidia control panel or Win 10 display settings to show anything more than 60 hz with my GTX 2080, even if I turn off HDR color and move to 8-bit RGB. I was able to go to 120 hz just fine with these settings with my...

    42" OLED MASTER THREAD

    Thanks for your advice. You're probably right about the program. I'll test later with my laptop hooked up to see if it goes away. I have no idea what program I have that would be causing it though. I'll update after the cable gets here re: the 120 hz.
