Unless you’re Elon Musk rich, it’s pretty much impossible to buy a TV that is too big.
I own a 77” TV and the optimal viewing distance for that is 2.7 meters for a THX recommended viewing angle of 36°. The size goes up quickly the farther you sit from the screen. If your couch is 4 meters from the screen you’re already looking at a 114” screen to get the same 36° angle.
I think the idea is to increase motion resolution.
On a sample-and-hold display, like an LCD or OLED, the image on the screen stays the same for the entire frame. When the image suddenly changes because the TV displays a new frame, our eyes need a bit of time to adjust. The result is that when there is a lot of motion on screen, the image starts to look blurry.
This was not an issue on older CRT displays because they used a beam that scanned the picture. Each ‘pixel’ (CRT’s didn’t have pixels but lines, but you get the idea) would only light up for a small amount of time. Since our eyes are relatively slow we didn’t notice the flickering that much, and because it wasn’t fully lit all the time the ‘pixels’ in our eyes didn’t get saturated and could quickly adjust to the new frame.
By adding interpolated frames the image changes more often and this allows our eyes to keep up with the action. Another solution to the problem is black frame insertion, where the TV shows a black image between each frame. Again we don’t perceive this as flickering as our eyes are too slow for this, but the disadvantage is that the picture brightness seems to halve.
How much blurriness you get in motion is a function of both how fast the movement on screen is and the frame rate. Fast movement and low frame rates cause more blurriness than slow movement and high frame rates.
The use-case for this feature is mainly for fast sporting events on broadcast TV, where there may be fast movements (e.g. a soccer ball) combined with the low frame rate of broadcast TV (30 or 25 fps depending on where you are).
Working just fine for me.
Wow. That must mean it works for everyone.
It’s not like there is any sort of ecoconomic loss from kicking Israel out.
The event’s main sponsor is an Israeli company.
It’s a Samsung.
Even the most expensive Synology only has space for 8 drives with only one 10Gbit ethernet port.
You can build something yourself for less with much better performance.
Better to build it from scratch, your desktop PC does not have server-grade hardware. No ECC, no IPMI, not enough SATA ports, etc.
It’s 2^4 so a hypercubed number 🤓
If you’re in IT 16 is a nice round number.
I have a wallet but haven’t brought it with me in years. The only time I do is when I need to drive (which is maybe once a month) because it contains my drivers license.
All my payments are done using my Apple Watch.
I’ve tried playing turn based games but they just kill any story pacing / flow of gameplay and I just can’t get into them.
It sound great but turn based is an immediate ‘no thanks’ from me.
Yeah, those lazy people should just go get some more money. Maybe get a small $1,000,000 loan.
But only until he can take their healthcare away.
Birth cert, immunization records, high school and college diplomas. Name change docs. The list is endless.
The list reads like it only applies to backwards/undeveloped countries. Birth certificates aren’t a thing here, immunization records are in my digital patient file, I must have a paper diploma somewhere, although I have no idea where it is and I never had a need for it. The last time I had to prove I have a BSc. I just downloaded the signed PDF from the education service website. Any name changes would just be recorded in the government’s basic administration. Even things like the deed to my house is registered with the government and no one would ever ask me for the physical piece of paper, even when selling it.
Yeah that’s not how elections work in the Netherlands.
He wasn’t elected prime minister because we don’t vote for who gets to be prime minister. We vote for political parties. After the election the political parties have to form a coalition that has a majority of seats in the house.
Rob Jetten’s party (D66) was the biggest after the elections and it’s custom that the largest party will try to find coalition partners and that they will also supply the prime minister (which is usually the party leader) so it’s likely he will be PM but this isn’t necessarily the case.
Last election’s winner did not become the PM, he was too controversial a figure so none of the coalition partners wanted him to be PM. Instead they found a independent person to be the PM, one who wasn’t even a candidate.
That being said he will likely get the job, but it’s not a done deal yet.
Bigger TVs was always the point of higher resolutions. SD content looked perfectly fine on the small CRT screens we had at the time. HD made bigger screens possible, same goes for 4k.
My last CRT was a 28” beast which was considered huge at the time. Then I got a 50” HDTV which was considered huge at the time. Now I’ve got a 77” 4k TV which is considered huge at this time.
Plasma TV’s are beasts. They also get hot and use a lot of power. They look great though.
I have a 77” OLED and while it’s large it’s also very flat and sits flush to the wall. Really doesn’t take up much space at all. The thing that takes up more space than the actual screen are the 12 speakers you need for the surround sound system that goes with it.
I always liked “American Armored Handegg”
