I don't need or want a phone over 90hz, and a pc screen over 180hz. A phone is a waste of battery and a pc screen over that is a waste of money.
Then don't buy them? With better screens coming out the ones you do want to buy get cheaper.
Back in the day 144hz screens cost a premium, now you can have them for cheap.
I stopped buying tvs from 2000 until like two years ago, when i saw them on sale for like $200. Been living off of projectors & a home server. I skipped so many "innovations" like curve, flat, HD, 4K, trueColor.
Weird that it has a OS and that was a shocker.
I look forward to what TVs bring in 2040.
I mean OLEDs are damn amazing image quality wise, but I'm also not a fan of "smart" TVs. The apps can be useful (like native Netflix, Amazon video and so on), but 90% of the time I use my PC over HDMI.
I use my chromecast dongle for my smart TV. My smart TV will never get to have an internet connection.
You know what's hot? 3D televisions!!
I'm so glad that hype died out with people understanding it was stupid. Just thinking about all the ones who bought one.
They're easy to identify, they all have curved screens now.
I didn't say I wanted them disallowed from being made. Just that it's dumb to buy them.
I think there's an argument to make screens faster. Graphics have hit a point where resolution isn't going to give anything of substance... It's now more about making lighting work "right" with ray tracing... I think the next thing might be making things as fluid as possible.
So at least in the gaming space, these higher refresh rates make sense. There's still fluidity that we as humans can notice that we're not yet getting. e.g. if you shake your mouse like crazy, even on a 144hz the mouse will jump around to different spots it's not a fluid motion (I've never seen a 180hz but I bet the same applies).
You can see it moving a mouse super quick on a static background, but I never notice it happening in games. There's probably something there a touch noticeable in some fps online games if you really paid attention and could lock your max fps at 120fps with a 240hz monitor, but that would be about it, and I don't competitively play fps games. I'm perfectly happy with running 60fps at 120hz for myself.
How can you waste a battery? Just charge your phone?
You can't seriously be that obtuse.
Ok than how is it a waste of money. I wasn't using the money for anything else. I only buy 120hz phones since it came out
