It's the next 3D.
They try to expand in all dimensions. Bigger panels. Higher res. Higher bit depth. Increased contrast ratios. Stereoscopics. Higher refresh rates.
Yet to find a real world use for anything over a 65" QHD at 60Hz 8bpp.
It's very different. 3D TVs actually had a difference in viewing experience
It actually made it worse.
I watched only one movie in home 3d, but I liked it.
Look, you're happy with a mid-range setup, good for you.
But sticking your head in the sand pretending that there aren't affordable features that improve the experience is Fedora wearing nerd shit.
The fedora-wearing nerds are ones with 244Hz ultrawide 4k HDR monitors.
What you're describing is everyone who just wants to watch a TV show comfortably on their sofa. You could swap any TV for a base-model TCL the same size and they won't notice.
Even the gamers won't want 8K. You'd notice the drop on FPS more than the increase in quality.
The human eye can't perceive beyond 60fps. Fackt.
60Hz ewwww
8bpp ewwww too
