The EU is banning 8K TV's!!!

<< < (37/53) > >>

Nominal Animal:
According to FlatpanelsHD, the maximum power for the default picture mode for LCD, OLED, and microLED 4K and 8K TVs will be as follows from March 2023 onwards:

   Size  Max. power for 4K/8K TVs default picture mode
    40"    48 W
    42"    53 W
    48"    66 W
    55"    84 W
    65"   112 W
    75"   141 W
    77"   148 W
    83"   164 W
    85"   169 W
    88"   178 W

It does not limit ownership, but does limit the sales.  Also, the TV can still have higher-power modes, as long as selecting them informs the user about the increased power use.

Hmm.  I still don't have an opinion on this, because I do not intend to own a 8K TV (or display), and thus it does not impact me personally.

Let’s ban the EUrobollocks from interfering in our UK lives. They’re a joke. The only brussels I want are the yummy green ones. 😋😋

I am broadly OK with this. First because power usage is an important issue (my current GPU, for instance, was chosen to be a bit old tech - despite being a game player - because it was much lower power than the latest ones, and similarly my monitor choice was partly based on power consumption), so that's encouragement to the manufacturers to try and keep it low. But, at the same time, if you don't care about that you can put them in non-EU mode and roast your eyeballs or peel paint off the rear wall.

I've had time to make a clearer explanation as to what my thinking was.  It seems to boil down to my personal political opinions, thoughts and ideas.  Which I'm not discussing here for at least three somewhat obvious reasons.


* I don't want to publicly discuss my political stuff
* Political discussions are largely banned (on this forum), and a bad idea as they can cause trouble, as well
* I appreciate I'm just one single individual.  Who is NOT speaking for others, and may be wrong on various things, just like other real life individuals
But on a more technical note, I can say some things.  Which are more technical facts about this 8k TV thing, and other EU decisions.  As they are scientific, rather than political.

I sometimes lose the first few seconds of sound in various video sources.  Because the EU mandated that speaker systems, have to forcibly automatically go into standby/sleep mode to save power.  Which on a computer system, can be a real pain.  Because that can also effect, the PCs, ability to send warning noises (in theory, somehow I don't seem to have that problem in practice at the moment, but use to, a long while ago), until the speakers eventually turn back on.
Hence I sometimes have to wind Youtube videos back to the start, as a result.

So (politically speaking, but leaving out my fuller political ideals), I'm convinced the quality of some items, big (e.g. cars or 8k TVs) and small (see speakers complaint above), is hurt, by some of these forced regulations.
