    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    I can't find any link that shows what the chroma sub-sampling is for QN700, also I have been using my USB 3 port of my 4K viewsonic for convenience. The QN700 is surprisingly USB 2.0 port only, eventhough USB 3.0 port has been out for decades how does anyone confirm the chroma subsampling...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    Woot has some 700C that is very cheap, but I don't know if it's 4:4:4 chroma, the search engines show nothing. I wonder if there is a software that can determine chroma sub-sampling ratio. The 800 and 900 series is better, but they are way too big. I can't put a 65" on my desk. Sharp only...

    I never realize trading firm allows people to trade crypto w/ margin. What's the margin? w/ currency, I know the margin is 99%, but that's very dangerous. w/ stock, it's usually 30% for stock like IBM or QQQ but some are 50%.

    Why such big difference in outdoor camera price?

    well, 1 way to reduce Li Ion batteries usage is to use them in the cold winter, and regular battery during the spring summer, fall months. Due to global warming, in the past few winters, there is very little cold temperature and snow in this neck of the wood. 1 quick other question: another...

    So after this BTC halving, should I invest a ton of money or what?

    Please explain your reasoning, because if you look at the diagonal line on the left, from the high to low, Jan 8 to Jan. 23, there is a 22.574% drop. In the stock market, 10% is called a correction, 20% is a bear market, at 22.574%, it should be well into bear market territory. Then suddenly...

    Where are the 8K Monitors?

    so essentially, it's the Samsung screen doing it, not the Nvidia video card connects to the Samsung doing it. I thought the way Elvn talks about Nvidia shield, it's the video card doing the job. And I just remember my old Sony blu-ray player also claims it can upscale DVD movie to blu-ray...

    I thought you don't have a 8K monitor. So what's the benefit of upscale to 8K? and when you said "AI upscaling to 4k in my nvidia shield since 2019, for shows and movies rather than games.", you mean it can upscale a regular HD movie to 4K? a regular HD movie is 1920 x 1080, does the upscale...

    okay, p.201 did mention All-i on MOV, but I never use MOV, I only use MP4 all these years. You can how much easier it is to view Canon PDF when they come clean and label how many min. you get per compression at whatever resolution. Whereas Nikon is hiding all these. I also did a CTRL-F on...

    Nikon Z9 specification sheet does not show how much time it can record on each mode

    are you a Nikon user? because a) the video is a function of the resolution selected, as well as the compression mode used. The manual didn't say anything about ALL-I or IPB or whatever they use, so it can't be 125 min. on all these CF card b) is Nikon using NTSF, because they talk about...
