> Manufacturers want to keep the sales boom that large cheap TVs brought when we moved away from CRTs. That was probably a “golden age” for screen makers.
IMO the difference between LCD and OLED is massive and "worth buying a new tv" over.
I've never tried doing an 8-bit vs 10-bit-per-color "blind" test, but I think I'd be able to see it?
> What really cheeses me on things like this is that TV and monitor manufacturers seem to gate the “blacker blacks” and “whiter whites” behind HDR modes and disable those features for SDR content. That is indefensible.
This 100%. The hackery I have to regularly perform just to get my "HDR" TV to show an 8-bit-per-color "SDR" signal with it's full range of brightness is maddening.
