Yes I understand how ML works; apparently you don't.

Even DLSS doesn't train on specific games anymore; and when it did, it obviously could not train on every possible combination of frames in order to improve a game.




So I digress; you have no fucking clue how advanced MS's auto-HDR is compared to LGs... but I honestly think you'd have to be insane to think MS's doesn't have more power behind it in every way possible.. hardware power, engineering expertise, being trained on more content, etc. MS's is far more likely to get updated too.. and might even have game specific updates where they train on a specific game by finding like content.. a game with a similar style that DOES have HDR, etc.

DLSS works on about 12 games, dont give me that DLSS applies to everything easy marketing PR. I am not stupid. DLSS is also selective and as such is more ML than a filter, a filter is non selective,

So you think LG auto HDR using a DSP is crap and MS is better based on what exacly - ah the best engineers on the planet and no data to back your superiority claim other than its MS and Phil.

I said they look same enough to me, I have looked at both. Your arguement is based on whatever.

Also if you apply something equally to all pixels on a screen, that is an algorithm or FILTER as its not selective. Facts.

DF said MS was more refined with latency benefit....but did not elaborate further.

Why would a guy with a smart tv use PS5 to watch these?
I have a Smart TV (Samsung KS8000) and uninstall all the apps and disconnect it, all the 'smart' features and apps are just terrible and then they have the audacity to push ads to me 🤦‍♂️

I use the Nvidia Shield for all smart features, a lot faster and apps and system software constantly updated to have the latest versions of apps.

I wish 55" OLED dumb TVs (monitors) were more of a thing. As long as they fully supported HDMI-CEC, eArc, HDR, VRR and all that shit, if be happy. Just give me a good quality picture without all the crap.

I agree. Can’t take it seriously with a man child in the role. Stupid.
It’s supposed to be a prequel to the games when Drake was younger. I think in those circumstances Holland will be great.

IMDB:The story is a prequel to the games, starring Holland as a younger Drake, showing us details of how he came to meet and befriend Sully.

Well... in my setup for example...I have no way to use headphones. So if I need to keep the TV very quiet for any reason, being able to watch Netflix or whatever and use my headset with the PS4 Pro comes in handy. I haven't done it A LOT...and the PS4 is a bit slow...but it works just fine.

So while I don't think it's a huge deal, I'm glad I'll be able to do that with the PS5 if I WANT to. Options are always good.

Hmm, maybe you guys use more apps than I do. But genuinely speaking I've been pretty happy with both with only that minor problem with my LG that sometimes stops resuming the video after an ad, and sometimes can't connect to wifi even if the signal is full because of some bug.

Maybe it's like lottery? Some have problems and some don't?

Netflix runs at glorious 4K on my ps4 pro but becomes slow and pixilated on TV. I assume many TVs are slow and not optimal. Specially that most people buy low end TVs

My TV's aren't top end. The LG LCD 4K was around $1000 back then for 55" in 2015 (living room), and my current Sony XD70 HDR 4K is around the same price in 2016 for 55" as well (bedroom). I tried watching 4K HDR on my Sony and it looks great and very clean, 1080p content also upscales perfectly. Tried to watch netflix through my PC which is highly specced and it looks worse and slightly pixelated compared to the native app inside the tv, much more superior. Also use 5-10m 3.5 aux wire with a splitter to watch movies while the kid is sleeping. :lollipop_tears_of_joy:

Personally, who do you attract with a console whose main function is BC?

- To the owners of PS4 / PS4 pro I think not, they already have it in their libraries.
- To Xbox owners who already have the One or the One X that does the same function?
- To PC owners?

I think XB is strangling itself right now, losing customers to PC, giving customers to PS5.

Since the other two offers cover the same as you practically among their new generation equipment, your own old ones. MS wants to sell GamePass and Xbox is secondary it seems to me.

With GP they could go gold but currently Xbox seems to me a product with little use value compared to its two competitors and quite equal in use value, with respect to its previous generation.

In 2 years when the devs present games we will be able to evaluate how that use value has grown, but currently it is quite low.

The XSX will be the best place to play all the next gen multiplatform games from day 1, not just 2 years from now. As for the first party exclusives, that's no longer an issue for Xbox. Keep up with the news. I suspect that's why all of a sudden, only the first 2 years of the generation matter to many people on this forum.
This is the first generation that won't be decided by which console had the most or best exclusives although the answer is likely to be Xbox.
The best strategy will win.

Microsoft R&D has done loads for the ML field, that's just a fact, you can easily look that up.

And how do you know MS's auto-HDR applies equally to all pixels on a screen exactly?

But I love how you gloss over the fact you are blatantly wrong about how ML works.. lol.. you don't need to train on the exact source material to apply ML algorithms.

And I never said MS has the best engineers on the planet.. they certainly have far more experienced engineers in this area than LG does.. and more processing power. It's pretty basic logic to suggest their tech is likely better.. but like I said, I don't know that for a fact, it's just.. basic logic.

I don't mind the option, but would rather give the console a rest. But you can mate your bluetooth headset with your tv. So, you can have like a bluetooth heaphones mated to the screen, but not sure if it can have 2. I use a wire on the Sony, but not all TV's have 3.5 aux out as it seems, then use a splitter for 2 headphones:

I use 2 of those for 10m to the bed (it's 6-7 meters away from the tv, might upgrade to 65-75" X900H).

And get any kinda headphones, and enjoy with your wife at full volume without rattling the house or getting police calls from your neighbors.

Surprisingly, the surround feels pretty decent even after all those cheap ass extensions and using Sony Xperia Z3 headphone, pretty cheap ones now you get them in Aliexpress, never felt any small headphones to have such good bass and quality due to them having big and clear drivers:

Austin Evans Xbox Series X reveal (Mar 16, 2020) vs Digital Foundry Xbox Series X reveal (Mar 16, 2020).

15 million views vs 700K views.

DF is not the best place, if you're aiming for most views.

don't forget that singer sony were using a few weeks ago, the one that had some kid with Kylee kyliethicc kyliethicc knows who i am talking about. How many followers has that dude got, and i not even heard of him.

How many followers has she got.?

Because like humans, not all TVs are equally smart :messenger_beaming:

Most people I know own 4-7 year old TVs and those apps are getting slow/not supported.

With modern 4k tv with fast SoC it doesnt matter as much, but older tvs can be laggy.

I once had to start movie on netflix for over 60 Times, because the app sometimes crashes after few seconds. Took me like hour or more to do this, until I gave up:messenger_tears_of_joy: I just wanted to see how many times it could crash in a row.

PS4 app works always.

Almost bought Sony xh90 55" from 899€ super sale this week to replace my 6 years old fullhd Sony. But I want oled so gotta wait for few years more before they are under 1000€

If you watch the videos, you can see its a filter as unwanted stuff also gets hDR effect, even white text.

To me HDR ona a screen is a selective effect chosen such as a sun, or fire or NEON, when its every bright and shiny object its over saturation and not pleasing and thats a filter.

I am just going by eye only, if you want to analyse the brightness increase of those shiny pixels feel free, my point is all bright objects HDR shine, all of them.

MY TV does a filter also, it may have slightly differing parameters which you could play with ISF and expert settings for days, but HDR every bright item is annoying I found and it looked same to me.

Go watch the DF video

Game does look promising, but it's still day light robbery for charging consumers $69 for this game :(
Yeah. I love what I'm seeing, and I should like it because I really enjoy Diablo and Souls-like combat....but, I'm definitely waiting for reviews on this one before I spend $70 on another game.

So you are guessing based on watching videos.

You might be right; but my point was.. we don't really know.. it's entirely possible their ML algorithm is selective but failing in some scenarios. It is according to DF adjusted per game (which makes it hard for me to think it isn't selective, although DF can also be wrong). They certainly have more processing power and engineering muster than LG.. I don't know why you think that's laughable or have to resort to putting words in my mouth for such basic facts.

But they’ll not have MTX as per the dev comments isn’t that correct? I mean I’m ok with that if it is the case. But something like Destruction Allstars with $69.99 price tag AND MTX? That’s daylight robbery.

They both are :( yes I believe GodFall doesn't have MTX rather, but it has this stupid always online thing to let you play single player. Meanwhile Destruction is purely multiplayer game retailing at $69 with MTX, HWHWAAAT >_<

Why is it the best place?

Does it have a controller with the most advanced haptics our there no, it's offering an inferior level of immersion?
Will it have the best load times for games, do i have to sit around while the competition is already playing games, that does not sound like the best place to play games.

You have heard game developers in the past talk about, don't use Tflops as a way to measure game performance but it sounds you are straight into that one hook line, and sinker.

You have seen the quotes about the new dirt game, it's a multiple plat and guess what, they both have the same performance settings as the ps5.
Assassins creed another game, the developers have said the same thing, same options.

Stop putting the cart in front of the horse.

PS5 is going to do monster numbers based on name alone. Throw in the games coming at launch and in 2021 and it's going to be a bloodbath. Xbox had a great opportunity to have a good start to the gen if they had been able to put some good new next gen experiences on the console (i.e. a Halo, a Forza). Instead they've fumbled the ball and are having to push the '4000 launch games' line because they don't have a single good exclusive for launch. You know it's troubling times when Xbox fanboys like McCafferey are speaking out.

Could you tell me what MAJOR difference we've seen so far with third-parties that makes the Series X the DEFINITIVE console for multiplat games? Because so far, I haven't seen any yet and don't think we're gonna see any major differences throughout this generation because of 1.87 more TFLOPs. There's more to the console architecture than just a theoretical TFLOPs number, it's a useless metric when it comes to comparing performance with another system.

Strange though, I find the apps on my tv's quite satisfying. But seems like some tv's aren't working so well.
It's a mixed bag out there; but there are also home theater setups where it's a pain to get 5.1 using TV apps. ARC and all that doesn't always work well for everyone.

Also some people game on monitors... just nice to have options.

Why it is more consumer friendly to have it name on the buttons and most consumers won’t config remote control buttons... that is why 3rd-party products exists for niche parcel of the consumers.

Imagine having labels 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the buttons and you have to remember what you configured to each one lol
Imagine your wife and kids trying to guess what you did.
Imagine somebody coming to your home trying to use your remote control.
Mess.

Removable face plate, with buttons that you can mix/add/remove, but of course Sony then can not make money off those streaming services if they did that. Those are product placements. Sony is certainly not doing it for consumer friendliness, any more than other controllers by other manufacturers streaming boxes.

Some might say those buttons can get lost, and the kids might take the thing apart, etc. Yes, like the batteries can be removed and messed with.

Sony has some good engineers, I'm sure they could come up with a good solution. I know I could, and I'm not an engineer.

BTW all streaming options are in Media Center in PS5... no need app download.

Exactly. Not on the Desktop, but inside another app, that you have to enter to get to the service you want. Same as the PS4. An extra unnecessary layer.

That's all I have to say on the matter, as I'm just repeating myself, but it's good to debate for clarity.

Being that PS5 will have the better pixel & triangle output what do you think will happen when these things are the bottlenecks in a game?
