Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone else feel like technology - specifically consumer tech - kinda peaked over a decade ago? I’m 37, and I remember being awed between like 2011 and 2014 with phones, voice assistants, smart home devices, and what websites were capable of. Now it seems like much of this stuff either hasn’t improved all that much, or is straight up worse than it used to be. Am I crazy? Have I just been out of the market for this stuff for too long?
I mean for television or movies. From across the room 4k is only slightly sharper than 1080p. Up close on a monitor is a different story.
It’s significantly better if you’re actually in the optimal range. Rest of article for image. HDR is fantastic on a OLED. Some cheap sets advertise HDR but it’s crap. I’ll also mention 4K from a disc is massively better than any streaming service I’ve come across. Netflix caps 4K streaming at 25 mbps and most of my disc are like 75-90mbps.
