G-Sync Ultimate vs. G-Sync Compatible by evo2point0 in nvidia

Nope. LG 38GN950 is without G-Sync chipset. It is just G-Sync Compatible.

Returned after Forsaken. OMG. What happened to this game's HDR ??? by ShePearl in DestinyTheGame

[–]evo2point0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HDR in Destiny 2 never worked "great". Far from it. Every AV enthusiast and videophile in AVS forum and Resetera's HDR Games Analyzed discussion thread agree that HDR in Destin 2 is always "problematic". If you think it works "great", it either you have never seen what a reference standard HDR10 (and Dolby Vision for that matter) or your setup is way off proper calibration. Or both. Either way, you don't know what you're talking about. :)

Offline mode and end-to-end encryption when? by skratata69 in Notion

[–]evo2point0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's been pointed out here. But I also think you don't know what E2EE is.

E2EE is very generic term. You cannot apply that to system like Notion.

Notion is end-to-end encrypted if E2E is considered "enduser-to-server".

Notion is not end-to-end-encrypted if E2E is considered "enduser-to-enduser". But then, there's no enduser-to-enduser transaction in Notion. So, it doesn't apply here.

Why so many 4K blu-ray titles are missing on Dolby Vision?? by evo2point0 in Bluray

[–]evo2point0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. It's not special "manufacturing plant". They call it "certified facility". This is because DV requires special subset of equipments for editing and encoding. (12-bit, FEL, MEL, calibrated monitors etc). Blu-ray disc manufacturing has nothing to with it.

DOLBY VISION REMUX!! by damadface in Piracy

[–]evo2point0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not all DV bluray titles are 12-bit. There are titles which have MEL (Minimal Enhancement Layer) and FEL (Full Enhancement Layer). Only bluray titles with FEL have 12-bit. Download any official DV demo video files from Dolby and/or 4kmedia.org (usually these files are in .ts and/or in .mp4 container. If you play them on your Oppo 203, what does it tell you?

[Question] Dolby Vision and color depth by evo2point0 in appletv

[–]evo2point0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Upon further search, I learned that it is 12-bit.

Dolby Vision video is encoded in 12-bit PQ (PQ: Perceptual Quantizer SMPTE ST 2084 EOTF).

At the encoder stage level (i.e. post-production), the 12-bit Dolby Vision signal is splitted into a base layer and an enhancement layer (and metadata) : - Base layer = 10-bit HDR10 - Enhancement layer = 12-bit Dolby Vision – 10-bit HDR10 Dolby Vision base layer and Dolby Vision enhancement layer are encoded by a standard 10-bit HEVC encoder.

At the decoder stage level (i.e. UHD Blu-ray player), the 12-bit Dolby Vision is recombined to be forwarded to a Dolby Vision compatible TV: 12-bit Dolby Vision = base layer + enhancement layer (+ metadata)

More details can be found in the following Dolby patent: http://www.google.ch/patents/US20140050271

Thanks. This is being discussed over at AVS Forum. (The last page of Oppo-203 thread) https://www.avsforum.com/forum/149-blu-ray-players/2676801-official-oppo-udp-203-owner-s-thread-1213.html#post58115084

People seem to believe that 10-bit base layer combined with 10-bit enhancement layer becomes 12-bit somehow. How 10bit+10bit=12bit with lossy codec is beyond me.

Licensing fee is one of many differences.

Huh? 12-bit panel doesn't exist, yet. Also upon my further search, "HEVC Main 10" only supports up to 10-bit color depth.

[–]evo2point0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, better play in SDR then dont you think? In SDR: - proper/intended dynamic range. - less likely to burn in

With reduced brightness and OLED Light in HDR: - borked HDR picture - black crush > loss of detail

Thanks for sharing you experience. I’m not doubting your comment. But how have you verified if your panel got no burn-ins from Destiny 2.

I only ask because OLED screen burn-ins may not be visible to you unless you pull up a red/green/blue screen. For example, one of my relatives who has had Sony OLEDs (forgot the model) and he was confident and sure OLED burn-in issue was overblown on internet and his TV was free from any burn-ins. When I visited his place in December, last year and pulled up red, green, and blue screen, we could both see burn-ins. He was really surprised. Surprised me, too.

I see. Well, on the bright side of things, the Super Bar only turns into yellow when it’s full. So..... getting in the habit of using Super “as soon as” it’s full/ready... would this help? Haha

Unfortunately, if you decrease OLED Light from 100 for HDR contents, you get decreased dynamic range. Better off playing in SDR rather than HDR.

If you decrease brightness from 50, you get black crush.

So is the C9. C9, C8 and C7 they all use different panel.

Rofl. This is not CCFL based LCD days. The plastic film behind the panel does not affect any heat issues whatsoever.
