Re: Your TV Is Too Good for You
#5Article doesn't mention AI upres tech like DLSS, which could be the future. My experience on 4k monitors is that DLSS is noticably better than 1080, and not much worse than native 4k. Don't know about 8k, but I think 4k is a sweet spot for TVs.

Most TVs already do this upscaling but they smoothen things like skin textures. DLSS is an entirely different thing, right? DLSS only helps with renders that happen on hardware like games,digital art etc. NVidia has this thing called super resolution (that was recently included in VLC too)

You're right, DLSS is specifically for games, I forgot "super resolution" was the name for the Nvidia model that runs in full screen mode, which I've used and is pretty cool, seemingly better than automatic upscaling in TVs.

#8I watch tv on my 720p non-smart tv and it still feels like I'm living in the future. Nobody needs 4k. Hell, nobody needs 720p. A lot of people lives in a luxury bubble.

#9The author observes that 4K TV sets have come down dramatically in price but 4K content seems to be retreating into a niche. For the latter he cites price increases to his streaming services.
He wonders why this is, muses on cultural history and doesn't come up with a precise answer.
I propose the answer is simple: the prices of TVs and streaming services are unrelated. Hardware tends to trend down in price as we get better at making it.
Content is not the same. Most of the content you watch on streaming services is owned and produced by an oligopoly. Streaming disrupted their lucrative cable model, and they want to get its prices and profits back up to the peak levels of cable. Since they're an oligopoly and they collude with each other (formally or informally), there's not much you can do about it. It will mean 4K is irrelevant for many people who don't want to indulge their latest price hiking tactic.

4k is great and a noticeable improvement for computer work, while I agree with the article about not being so useful for TV screens, unless you go 55-inch or larger.
Source: I own a FullHD 40” TV set and a 43” 4k monitor. I once tried swapping them and watched 4k footage, and quality difference was not significant IMHO.
But you can notice pixels at fullhd on larger screens ofc - noticed them on a 55” and a 65” TV set.
