>>13811high definition is a corporate gimmick to make you buy shiny new screens that are able to display the shiny new format instead of, you know, just focusing on high quality for the formats that are already there
i'd rather take a properly encoded SD video stream, tried and true from decades of usage in TV over some vomit looking ULTRA-HIGH DEFINITION (tm) snake oil for middle class consumers

>>13813Standard Definition is dated especially when you don't have a CRT naturally softening edges. The NeXTstation from 1990 had a resolution of 1120 × 832 here you going on about 640 × 480 being enough in 2022.

>>13822>CRT naturally softening edgesWill we ever have flatscreens that look even half as crisp as CRTs?
No.13831
>>13830LD artifacts due to age is disc rot. Rot comes from manufacturing defects where the layers are not perfectly air tight where if the disc was made to spec it should still be good but there are a number of discs that were not.

>>13829The CRT on the first pic has low brightness (or degraded phosphor) in a bright room. The 4k Samsung monitor I purchased with my pc doesn't even come close to the color vibrancy of an unused CRT I got a few months ago. I made a pic of both, but the CRTs image looks less blurry and completely smooth irl.
What Samsung says about my monitor:
<This UHD monitor gives you 64 times more color than conventional monitors–an incredible 1 billion colors. That means that movies, games, and other multimedia content appear detailed, natural looking, and extremely realistic. More colors also ensure a smoother transition between different tones for a richer, more accurate picture. No.18672

I'm so glad optical drives are fucking dead.
No.18675
>>18674They are not dead dead, M-Disc is still produced for long term archival.
No.18679
>>18674Optical drives are far more long lasting than digital. They just should be improved to not get scratched and other defects. Though maybe a newer better option is out there. Physical media is superior in that you actually own it and it cant be repod by porky
No.18680
>>18679Optical drives refers to discs, not hard, solid state or flash drives.
No.18683
>>18680And M-Disc is designed to last decades when properly stored. Put a HD or solid state drive in a safe for a few decades and you there is sizable chance it will have data corruption.
