Should I get a lg oled tv and be done with it or a samsung oled tv and rig up some bullshit with an hdmi splitter so I can have the audio on a receiver but still have g-sync supported video on the display and hope that all works with no audio delay or anything because samsung somehow gets away with their high end tv’s in 2024 not supporting dolby vision (doesn’t seem that big of a deal for me if madvr is doing all the tone mapping but still what the hell) or fucking dts audio, all for the benefit of slightly better colors of a qd-oled panel

Having never seen a qd-oled maybe it’s that much better but I have absolutely no reason to upgrade from my lg cx for an extremely long time. Maybe it’s not the absolute best any more but it certainly isn’t disappointing.
Does the samsung not support passthrough to earc?
not for dts formats which seems insane for a 2024 tv to me
That is bonkers
it’s easy, pay the Sony tax
all of your problems are solved

fwiw i have to really strain to try to see color differences with test images between my LG CX and 14” macbook pro’s mini-LED LCD (99%+ DCI-P3, ~73% Rec. 2020 coverage)

I was wondering if I should get the M3 15" Macbook Air when it comes out next month, or hold out another year (2 years?) for macs to get OLEDs. I was imagining a level of difference like between the first-gen Switch and the OLED Switch.
But yeah come to think of it, it’s not just that the Switch had an LCD but also that it was crappy among LCDs. It sounds like Mac screens are already good enough it’s not worth waiting then?
I’m still waiting for the M4 macs at this point because the M2 and M3 refreshes have just been so boring, I can only look at them as expensive work machines

My work machine is a 2019 Intel MBP which I will mercifully shove into a return locker next week, so anything ARM-based is still plenty exciting to me

oh, I’m in the opposite position – that’s my personal laptop, my work machine is an M2 Pro

mini-LED makes the difference on the 14”/16” MBPs imo
i kind of hate the LCD in my 11” ipad pro because it has “normal” LCD black levels. it’s a glorified ereader-slash-groovebox so it ultimately doesn’t matter but it definitely looks worse than my TV or laptop. the airs look about the same
this is of course wildly snobbish and any apple display is basically fine but i would not consider an Air until it gets mini-LED (or OLED) and 120hz. those two and the I/O make the weight worth it on the 14”

same, I regret not getting the 13" because it had a better display
and I can work on my work laptop (one of the new 14" pros) in direct sun in my hammock but not on my personal machine, the screen can’t handle it

the 13” ipad is just too big as anything but a laptop replacement or portable TV. too heavy to hold with one hand comfortably
my ipad has audio apps, books, and 100gb of yuri manga i couldn’t be bothered to resize
my only regret with the 2021 M1 Pro is not shelling out to max out the RAM but i have the 7900x workstation with 64GB for anything heavy or windows. had i gotten the m1 max i’d probably have the thing for a decade — it doesn’t feel 2.5 years old at all. it’s my favorite computer ever

it sounds like all tvs are just using the hdmi vrr even if they say g sync supported so no reason to not just run everything through a avr anyway

I got a Galaxy Tab S6 as my e-reader. It has an OLED and it remains the lightest 10" tablet ever made

Parker you and me might be the only people left that care about avrs but I’m with you
VRR works fine from the ps5 and xsx through my yamaha rx-a6a. Literally the only problem I have with this entire setup is that CEC is a pile of dogshit which is hardly unique here.
