Is it worth it? Will it make watching movies better?

I think it was widely accepted that 50 inch is the sweet spot for a TV

Maybe 40 inch if the room is small.

Similarly to a PC screen, anything bigger is bad because you have to move your eyes around to see the whole picture

my room isn't small so I think bigger than 50 inch is fine

Disagree. I have a 48" tv in a room that's not too big, and while it looked really big initially, it's starting to look smaller now. Just yesterday I saw a 50" tv and I thought it was small, like I would have guessed 42" My standards are changing it seems. I think 55-60 is a pretty good spot.

When you're going past 50 inches, why not just buy a projector? I don't understand dropping 20k for a TV that big.

especially if you watch le ebin yify rips of le kino on it

If you sit very far away from the TV, fine. Obviously there is a perfect viewing to distance ratio. Otherwise we'd all be using 80inch monitors.

As I said before the widely accepted best bang for viewing distance, money and quality is 50inch. Idk what autism you guys have inflicted upon yourselves but anything bigger is just a meme

I have a small-ass room with a 43", and it does the job just fine. If you wanna splurge and get an 80", go for it.

>When you're going past 50 inches, why not just buy a projector?

This fucking knows whats up-

All the content is mastered assuming the viewing distance of 3 picture heights. Unless your living room is huge, an 80 inch TV is unnecessary.

I'd rather invest in a Dolby Vision™ TV with Dolby Atmos™ speakers.

I'm just uncomfortable with the vanity and fetishism of media tech it requires to seek and own an object such as tv which is so grotesquely and decedantly large, it's horrifying. It reminds of ... Was farenheit 911, where the families had entire walls which were massive tv screens?

i have a 65" 4k
i just watch porn on it

The bigger your screen, the closer you are to recreating the scope of seeing a film theatrically as intended you pretentious twit.

I don't think tv's that size will ever become the norm.

They are simply unpleasant to look at.

Don't be so retarded

The viewing distance is all that matters.

Vizio released a 120 inch TV last year.

You probably watch movies on your laptop

That is wayyyy bigger than an 80 inch

but yeah i do have one and it looks nice af

Do you watch 480p movies on your 1080p tv?

I have a 60 which is perfectly sized for my room, but ignoring the view distance thing, and the unholy cost, 80+ and 4k sets stink of early adopter bait to me.

My first HDTV was a 720p set with no HDMI ports, I'd rather not walk down that kind of path again.

I'm a scientist who works on new TV technologies, ask me anything technology related.

Have you bought 80 inch tv?

Is it worth it? Will it make watching movies better?

There are studies that show it increases the immersion but unless you have a well designed home cinema, the fact that it doesn't cover the whole viewing angle will make the black level look washed out.

Also, no to buying an 80 inch TV. I just use a projector instead.

Anything in the works about moving away from 2D?

In what sense? 3D was not received that amazingly by the market and 4K has even lower adoption rate. HDR is the next big thing and the improved contrast adds more depth to the image but 2D is here to stay for now.

The 3 length rule is horseshit. A theater screen is fucking huge and no one complains about having to look around the screen. That is what people like about going to the theater, being totally immersed in the huge image.

While I think 80" is overkill for a normal size living space, I would not hesitate to go 65".

Remember, a lot of movies are anamorphic 2.40:1, so you are using even less of that screen when watching those kinos.

HDR removes contracts, doesn't add it. And HDR is a function of capturing, not displaying. All current LCD and plasma technology has the ability to display images in high dynamic range.

What are your thoughts on curved screens

When will we get TV's that have perfect gray uniformity. When will I be able to watch Hockey games without seeing fucking vertical banding lines panning across the screen?

WTF is prefect gray uniformity?

This is wrong. HDR means capturing and displaying more contrast than what is possible with off-the-shelf devices.

>The 3 length rule is horseshit. A theater screen is fucking huge and no one complains about having to look around the screen.
Yes, but you're in a dark cinema so you're fully adapted to the image on the screen.

Good for computer monitors, terrible for TVs. You just have to sit directly in front of it to see the benefit, which is not huge in and of itself.

The SMPTE standard 2084 deals with that. The new display curve that will replace constant gamma has increments below 1 just-noticeable-difference (JND) for each code word, so the brightness increments are invisible.

>This is wrong. HDR means capturing and displaying more contrast than what is possible with off-the-shelf devices.
You have it backwards. High Dynamic Range is less contrast. More contrast is start blacks and whites (i.e. less HDR). You probably read some back marketing literature or some shit. Trust me. I have been a professional videographer and video editor for the past 9 years.

HDR actually looks stupid, which is why movie are usually the opposite. They are usually very crushed and very low dynamic range. Think of a horror movie where you could see into every shadow. It would be fucking retarded. Photography is light and shadow, not light and light. Art is not about exposing every part of the image. That is photoshop bullshit.

I did my PhD on HDR and I know the technology from within the industry.

I've seen some prototype TVs that use HDR imaging to its full advantage, the contrast is great and there is lots of detail in the dark.

Go to a photography forum and say that HDR means the image is higher contrast and try not to cry as they roast the fuck out of you.

Or just go to bed, kiddo.

Photographers usually don't understand what HDR is and they've never seen an HDR image. Most of them have seen a tone-mapped HDR image (which is the contrast reduction you're talking about) on an SDR display and think this is the upper limit of what the technology is capable of.

Resolution and picture quality is more important than display size.
If a 50-60" feels too small, you probably just need to move your couch closer.

That is one type of HDR, and a valid one of photographed right. You can also bracket two images shot at different apertures together. In a video camera, it shoots it twice simultaneously at two different ISO values. And they are currently developing HDR lenses.

But HDR is NOT fucking high contrast. It is actually low contrast.

They're both the same thing. HDR photography is about capturing a wider range of contrast values and HDR displays try to then show all of that contrast simultaneously.

Both ways of capturing you described are awful. Different apertures change the focal depth of the image while changing the ISO values increases the noise. Usually when bracketing the 2 (or more) photographs just have different exposure time, which is a problem when capturing fast moving objects. There has been some science on proper HDR cameras with logarithmic-response sensors but the last time I've seen one, it was the size of a Christie cinema projector, ie. not very useful on set.

Also, HDR is not low contrast. It can be tone-mapped to low contrast, but the technology itself is about capturing and showing a wide range of contrast.

Also, what on earth is an HDR lens? How is it any different than a regular lens? HDR has nothing to do with lenses, unless you mean multiple sensor cameras with a beam splitter built into the lens.

Had an 85" Sony, changed it for 77" LG OLED.

Sony had terrible panel and horrible customer service.

Is it one of the new LGs? Those things look amazing.

It's a signature series, and yes the panel is amazing. Also very good upscaling.

I have a 75" it's worth it

My only problem with those is the framerate upscale algorithms, they fail in scenes with a lot of motion creating annoying artifacts. Daredevil season 1 scene in the rain comes to mind.

Never upscale anything, it will always be worse

Still better than the competition though. Upscaling in the Sony was pretty much joke tier and that was before I had this.

It's switched on by default but I prefer it off.

I know, it's not too bad most of the time but it can get really annoying.

my tv is about 50 inches and i literally never notice the size of it. I feel like it is no different to having watched something on my shitty laptop.

Daily reminder that nothing says 'I'm a huge pleb' more than owning a TV. Real patricians read books and admire art in their own homes, but go to their local indie cinéma when the need arises to see that new Terrence Malick kino or a screening of a François Truffaut work. If you don't have your own independent local cinéma, you should consider changing neighborhood, preferably something bohemian and in the early process of gentrification.

Detected a neet that's too poor to buy a proper telly.

is curved a meme?

my cousin bought a samsung 65 4k curved tv and the curved did not really work for me and i was sitting right at the center infront of it

It's a meme and so is 4K.

Curved is useless for films.

>2160p
>a meme
detected a poorfag retardd

According to studies audiences don't see a difference between 1080p and 2160p.

Should I get this 110 inch tv?

Probably not since it's not oLED

>audiences
Who?


The difference is immediately noticeable between 4K and 1080p if you are playing anything with aliasing

just get a 55 inch OLED LG

i personally wouldn't get anything bigger than 55inches, maybe 65 but that's too expensive for me.

that's like twenty dicks

Livin' the dream

55" Sony in a dorm room here. Wish I had gotten a 60" to be honest.

>tfw I remember my old 32" LG
