"The new "super-size" installation has in fact been created out of several modular panels, but because they do not have bezels they can be fitted together without any visible gaps to create the impression of being a single screen."
Meh.

"Sony calls the technology "Crystal LED", which is its brand name for micro-LED display tech. Samsung is also experimenting with the format. The innovation does not require a backlight, but goes much brighter than OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screens while still delivering similar deep blacks. At present, however, the high manufacturing costs involved make it too expensive for widespread use."
Now that is actually interesting. While I expect it is a marketing word rather than anything particularly informative (conventional semiconductors are quite literally created on crystals) I had missed that one entirely. If Samsung are playing then it sounds like another company made it (I imagine the article would have said if it were a joint venture) so I have something to have a look out for now.

Still waiting on proper 4K. Ok, to be fair, my PS4 Pro is technically capable of a true 4K resolution. But It’s not got the oomph to apply that to any remotely demanding game, it’s all bloody chequerboard. At least my Xbox One X does some proper 4K.

So I’m guessing PS5, actual 4K.. Maybe. And I’d love it to be 4K 60fps capable for even the most demanding games, but I’m not holding my breath for that.

PS9, 8K. If there’s a real console left by that point

As for Micro-LED, I’ve been following that for years and I’m hoping we’re not too many years away from at least reasonably priced sets. It’s got great potential, all the benefits of OLED and more, none of the drawbacks.
I’ve promised the wife I won’t replace my 4K OLED until they hit the market...... Yeah

As I recall, japanese broadcast standard is aiming for 8k to future-proof a bit. 16k will be great for VR, but that kind of power is, what, a decade away?

But hey, with a screen that big, you might actually be able to see everyone on those giant maps in Smash Ultimate for once. (joking)

I’m not fussed for 16K, I doubt I’ll ever have the eyesight or house big enough to make it worthwhile. Even 8K will be pushing it in my lounge.

You don't want a 120" tv to replace your living room wall? to play snes games on? I think 16k is the absolute limit of film, so I can kind of understand that.

8k capable ps5 would be neat, even if just for supersampling.

Fun to dream for sure, but that sounds more like PS7 territory at the earliest. High-end PCs are just starting to do 4K at/above 60 FPS, so doing the same on PS5 would be around $1200. 4K at 30 FPS is doable for closer to what XB1X retails for, though. I'm just hoping that PS5 gives you the option to play in 1080p at 60 FPS, for PS4 games as well.

I do wonder if they will do 2k or 4k internal, upscale to 8k on output. Marketing and all that.

It's certainly possible since that's basically what PS4 Pro is doing from 1440p to 4K. I'd think they'd again at least want to hit half on the internal resolution though, so at least 4K@30 FPS for PS5.

Want? Yes of course. Get? Hahahahha, you’re kidding, I had to send the wife handbag shopping just so I could sneakily buy bigger than 50”. Apparently “we” don’t need massive screens in the lounge. Nobody told me marriage involved compromise.

If I could fit one into my office on the other hand......

Show me the duck tape

Show me the duck tape

It’s a new polycarbonate based, transparent and invisible to the naked eye duct tape.

Very much like the transparent aluminium they used in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home....... No? Just me then

anything above 1080p to me is bullshit for most users

in fact tbh 1080p hurts my eyes

I can see a noticable difference between 1080p and 4K. But it's not as much of a WOOOOW like SD to HD was for me.

well SD back then was mostly shitey composite connectors too (unless you had SCART lol), HDMI is more standardised and consistent so yea it's gonna be better

Yeah I’m the same. I definitely see a difference, but it wasn’t the increase in resolution that really blew me away, not like it did from SD to HD.

It was the switch to OLED and it’s perfect blacks and of course HDR that was more impressive this time round. For me anyway.

 

[Lacius]

I generally cannot tell the difference between 1080p and 2160p, unless it's a.) A really big screen, or b.) I'm really close to the screen.

Also, all of my pirated media is likely to be 1080p or less for the foreseeable future. 2160p just isn't worth the file sizes.

Do you have the proper HDMI cable with the bandwidth capable of actually delivering 4K? Most people dont, and have no idea that they arent actually getting 4K from their boxes. I had no idea (now I also dont have a PS4Pro or a 4K TV).

But this stuff doesn't really bother me. 1080p locked at 30fps is fine with me. I would rather next gen consoles focus on all games being locked at 60fps rather than try to aim for the arbitrary "4K" resolution.

Probably sensible. I rip all of my DVD’s/Blu-Ray’s/CD’s/Games so as I don’t have to get up and change a disc, have been for years - essentially I’m lazy

But it’s getting ridiculous now, my server has over 60TB of storage and I’m very close to having to add another shitload.

Our photos and my files for work and so on are there as well of course, but they take up a comparatively tiny amount of space.

Absolutely, aside from being a technology addict (and gaming of course), I’m also a bit of an AV fanatic, so I always make sure I’ve got good quality cables that are up to the job. You know what they say, garbage in, garbage out.

Totally agree though, 60fps as a minimum is an absolute must for next gen.
