HDR is a ratio though. The max brightness of OLED TVs doesnt need to be as bright as LCD TVs. Though OLED TVs even from a few years ago go up to 1000 I think

It can depend on your room. If your not willing to compromise on curtains or position. But I think OLED TV in a dark room is worth it

59smokeOP•6/9/24, 10:39 PM

And I dont know how they do HDR on phones but it usually looks good so idk

Oled have an infinite black level which throws a wrench in a normal conversation about it. HDR is actually more about contrast than brightness. The higher peak brightness the better, but it all depends on what the content is graded for, and there will be diminishing returns after a certain point. Yes, the higher contrast will be there, but can you even see it? I find more value in better contrast in dark areas than bright. So oled is superior

Thats true. Theres HDR and then theres "LG's HDR test footage"

59smokeOP•6/9/24, 10:42 PM

I was watching the first episode of Kingdom on Netflix and I swear LG must have sponsored cause HDR looked amazing

59smokeOP•6/9/24, 10:43 PM

And I also like the dark cause I play a lot of horror games

59smokeOP•6/9/24, 10:44 PM

Makes me wonder how the HDR grading works on games though

malex•6/9/24, 10:44 PM

I think that 1000 nits is a realistic expectation going forward for consumer HDR. Maybe not on LCDs but I don’t think I’ll ever buy an lcd panel again if I can help it. It still looks better than SDR and can be obtained at reasonable prices

malex•6/9/24, 10:45 PM

If the monitor market wasn’t price gouged trash panels all the time, we’d already have that in most gaming monitors

59smokeOP•6/9/24, 10:45 PM

Hopefully we wont have to buy LCD again when micro led is done

59smokeOP•6/9/24, 10:46 PM

I just bought the alienware QD-OLED when it came out cause I was done fucking with PC monitors

my lg tv's hdr is dark and laggy lol

malex•6/9/24, 10:48 PM

I'd assume that as long as the engine and assets can take advantage of the larger color space, it should be scalable to your screen's brightness unlike graded films

malex•6/9/24, 10:49 PM

Ironically on my OLED monitor I run it in HDR even for SDR content, because the colors in the SDR modes looks way too saturated for me, where the HDR presets look more accurate

The Melted Jedi•6/9/24, 10:50 PM

really? if i encounter certain videos and stuff it will look all messd up in hdr

On mine it looks washed out but with HDR on it runs at a higher brightness so I occasionally turn it off when I'm just using desktop cause its too bright

It doesn’t help that hdr is currently bugged on plasma desktop either

matt_schwartz•6/9/24, 11:25 PM

where it’s super washed out unless you set color intensity to 80-100%

Quick question: My brother was trying to rebase from Bazzite 40 to Silverblue 40 to test something and he's unable to rebase at all. We tried going to Bluefin 40 as well and nothing changes in the grub. It's very odd. Install/Uninstalling packages works.

dannymate•6/9/24, 11:34 PM

He was having instability with games, they kept crashing his PC.

dannymate•6/9/24, 11:34 PM

But yeah why can't he rebase?

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 11:34 PM

What command were you using to rebase?

dannymate•6/9/24, 11:35 PM

rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/40/x86_64/silverblue

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 11:35 PM

That should work, what error did you get running that?

dannymate•6/9/24, 11:35 PM

nothing

dannymate•6/9/24, 11:35 PM

it ran fine

dannymate•6/9/24, 11:35 PM

but it didn't get reflected in the grub or anything

Kyle Gospo•6/9/24, 11:35 PM

What does the output of status look like after running it?

dannymate•6/9/24, 11:38 PM

Unchanged. I can get you text in a sec
