Yeah right. So, you see lots of 480p TV sets on store shelves, Craig? You see
lots of SD newscasts from TV stations? You see lots of new TV sets with 4.3 or
other non-16:9 aspect ratios? Uuuh, nope.
And your point is? You could find TVs with 3D capabilities in the same
stores a few years ago.
The point is simple. 3DTV required annoying behaviors of the TV viewer, such as
having to wear glasses and sitting in restrictive sweet spots. Instead, both
HDTV and UHDTV require nothing different from what users did with fuzzy old
squarish analog TVs. All of the burden is on the TV set. It is irrelevant
whether the viewer is sitting at an "optimal" distance to enjoy the full
advantage of HD, or whether a newscast "deserves" to be in HD. These points
could not matter less. The TV set works just fine, even if you're sitting too
far from it to enjoy the full benefit of HD. And newscasts in HD look way
better than they did in SD, even if "they don't need to."
There are no downsides, in other words. Just like HDTV. You continue to obsess
about what the benefit is. The benefit, if absolutely nothing else, is a wider
color gamut and a really smooth image, even up close. That's the upside. The
downside? None anymore.
But that was another discussion Bert. Stay on topic
Look at the subject line, Craig. The article is about HDR. You felt obliged to
mention that iPhones do HDR, and that all displays should be HDR. And I said
no. Not only do iPhones NOT do HDR, but all displays CANNOT be HDR.
Fortunately, we're past that now.
