As for convenience over functionality, I’d rather have less functions that actually work properly.

We live in a glorious world of cool stuff. It’s not depressing :)

Yeah, I agree. Uh, about the cool stuff, I mean. The world of cool stuff is cool, but the world in general *is* depressing about all kinds of things.

In this thread, I again find it "interesting" that the main example of questionable technology uses would be higher-DPI displays, which if anything, are just technically better, cool and mostly harmless, while some *really* currently questionable uses of technology have been ignored, and in threads where they are discussed, people find all kind of convoluted reasoning for defending them, yet they are quick at dismissing the harmless and just fun stuff. I guess ways of enslaving people or making the world blow up are more fun than sharp images on pretty displays. Or something. ;D

You have to go out of your way to purchase any kind of real "hi-res" audio these days...  Streaming has made lossy compression the norm.

Likewise, there is barely any volume of 4K visual media available, let alone 8K and higher.   Not to mention phone sized gadgets are probably the predominant viewing devices.

It's kind of depressing.

plenty of audiophools, my sisters father in law was telling me the other weekend how he can hear the jitter in a 10MHz clock..... I don't even know what this clock is for and neither does he I bet.

And the display industry spent countless dollars into the microLED research for at least ten years and they still haven't been able to enter the general consumer market with any meaningful product... All of these were just for the crazy nit numbers, crazy contrast ratios, and crazy high ppi which most of us won't ever care (or get instantly blinded by the brightness)  :-//

And I surely hope they keep investing in it until we’re there. Direct-view LED looks spectacular, so if we can get it down to desktop size affordable it’ll be amazing. “Crazy” brightness has very real applications (daylight-visible displays), and “crazy” contrast ratios bring with them very real image quality improvements, at least when they’re true contrast and not nonsense “dynamic” contrast — and LED can deliver real contrast. It’s all about the black and white points.

Remember also that direct-view LED has the potential to be more energy efficient than other displays. LEDs are more efficient at low currents, so running them at comfortable indoor viewing levels should be quite efficient.

No one cares about these screens until you have one. Then you can't use anything else ever again  :-DD

I am rather enjoying being able to watch 4k HDR content on my laptop.
