You got 720p,1080p, 4k. More pixels. Doesnt take a fuckin brain genius to figure out if your tv's picture looks better because of course it does, and you don't gotta do anything to get it to work. but they realized that past 4k, shit ain't gonna look much better for the cost. so what do they do? more colors per pixel. only problem is color settings on tvs suck. tv manufactures handle this like dogshit. so now you gotta spend 30 minutes before watching a movie cause your fuckin tv automatically changes the setting from time to time for no fuckin reason. all this just to get slightly more colors. it's not even that noticeable. i fuckin hate HDR. i fuckin hate tv manufacturers.
the shining's still a beautiful movie but fuck me did i not notice the HDR one bit.
Very good point but I would say the better analogy is playing a NES game on a non-CRT screen.
Broke: buying a thousand dollar graphics card so you can do some sick anti aliasing
Woke: playing on a 20 year old CRT and getting the same effect
CRTs still have better temporal resolution than any LCD or OLED. The only other acceptable option were Plasma TVs. The DigitalFoundry videos about the topic are very enlightening.
