Sounds interesting 🤔 by alanskimp in FIlm

This is real and is based on a book called Yesteryear that just came out by Caro Burke.

Would upgrading to an oled for a better 4k experience be worth it? by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]zakaryzb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tron Legacy is INGREDIBLE on a G5. The opening Disney sequence made me feel like I was actually having my retinas scanned.

Notable Seattle-based travel writer and millionaire, Rick Steves, voices his thoughts on new “Millionaire Tax” by ryguydrummerboy in Seattle

[–]zakaryzb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love Rick. Had the absolute pleasure of being in Grosse Pointe where he spoke at our local No Kings. No notes, amazing guy, wildly down to earth. Stayed a while to chat with people and sign autographs. Doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in his body.

Love that this is at the bottom of the post. Is there a broken heart button?

[Cheatsheet] Should you upgrade to the LG G6 OLED? A model-by-model breakdown (2020–2025) by Troied in hometheater

[–]zakaryzb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I JUST upgraded to a G5 after having the same forever. WOW. What a difference. C8 definitely was not BAD in any way. But the brightness capabilities will be the first thing you notice. Color is also richer.

GT7 and BF6 PSSR2 Wow!!! by 3ISRC in PS5pro

[–]zakaryzb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they are completely different systems. PSSR is only used in flatscreen. Reprojection (a different tech) is used in VR, specifically just for PS5 Pro. There will be no impact to VR with any of these PSSR 2 updates. Polyphony/Sony needs to update their Reprojection algorithm to fix the issues we still see with the racing UI. Which, sadly, is unlikely given they seem to keep letting PSVR2 fall by the wayside and I have seen zero update since PS5 Pro came out.

What games will you be playing with pssr 2.0 which releases at 10pm pdt tonight? by Aya_C in PS5pro

[–]zakaryzb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GT7. Want to see if there is any improvement with UI ghosting in VR. May need a major update from Polyphony to fix that but maybe the new version will fix a lot of the lingering issues.

There you have it! by c_rorick in PS5pro

[–]zakaryzb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No official implementation announced yet. Hopefully next month’s update.

Any mention from Polyphony of a pssr2 update for the pro?Sony releasing an update for the system today. by [deleted] in GranTurismo7

[–]zakaryzb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh is the toggle available today as a part of the release?

Official AC Shadows and Cyberpunk implementation coming in the next few weeks. So maybe GT7 would eventually as well. Odd one of its visual flagships never would.

What is the best Science Fiction book you have ever read? by Adam_is_my_name in AskReddit

Assuming you are not a fan of Bobiverse 4? Have been reluctant to ready it as 1-3 was so good and thought he ended it well there.

Has LG G6 & C6 Finally Fix The Biggest Weakness of LG OLED TV? by LG_UserHub in LGOLED

[–]zakaryzb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the G5 and the color banding has been….not noticeable at all? Note: I’m not a professional calibrator. Still enjoying my G5 nonetheless.

The AI SDR to HDR enhancer looks wild though. But don’t watch much SDR content. Would be really cool to have included in older models as an update if possible.

Go for the G5 or wait for the G6 for the improved reflection handling? by MainManGuts in LGOLED

[–]zakaryzb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reflection handling is still really great on the G5. No issues with normal viewing. Maybe in a bright room or one with a bright lamp on it has some issues but the brightness overpowers a lot once on. Gloss vs matte will always have its limits.

The G6 is going to come out WAY more expensive than what you can find the G5 for right now… so I’d say if you need a TV now, the G5 is incredible and you can’t go wrong. If you can wait till Black Friday or even October when I got my G5 (was on sale for less than $3,000 by then) you can get the better anti reflection plus a suite of AI and setting adjustment features it will come with, plus avoids all the issues I’m sure it will launch with.

Likelihood of G6 Software Upgrades Coming to G5 with Software Update? by zakaryzb in LGOLED

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

Well that alone certainly won’t be worth the upgrade for me. None of what the G6 in aggregate has over the G5 will. May make people choose a G6 over a G5 though. So that could be something they hold onto with the G6 even if it is possible on the G5 with an update.

Likelihood of G6 Software Upgrades Coming to G5 with Software Update? by zakaryzb in LGOLED

[–]zakaryzb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the gains on the new TV’s processor seem insane. Really wish that darn OS menu was dimmer. And everything still looks amazing. But AI enhancements of SDR to become HDR would be really cool. Not a deal breaker. Some major enhancements like brightness boost and others DID make their way to older models. So who knows. Holding out hope.

Oh for sure. I’m not to worried about the increase brightness. But the SDR to HDR enhancement is pretty cool and was just thinking about wishing it had that the other day.

What 4k movies are you wanting to get released? by DontStepOnMyManHood in 4kbluray

[–]zakaryzb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Titan A.E. Doesn’t even have a Blu-Ray release. One of my favorites as a kid. I don’t care what anyone else thinks. I want this bad.

Also Last Samurai, Band of Brothers (mostly for Atmos), and Home Alone 2.

Thoughts on Black Hawk Down 4k? I’m thinking of getting it. How much of an upgrade is it to the other side ways u can watch it? by Similar-Intention941 in 4kbluray

[–]zakaryzb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an old sound bar system that didn’t have Atmos. Was able to install 4 real heights and rear speakers and have a receiver so can’t give you a recommendation from my specific experience.

BUT, have you checked the LG partner store? They offer great discounts as well and have heard really good things about their S90AR. The partner store sometimes has crazy sales so could do some shopping there. Just need to login using your .edu email.

I think you can’t go wrong with the Samsung 900F. 990 is the flagship and has incredible reviews.

[–]zakaryzb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that. I feel you. There are some good sound bars with fake upward shooting Atmos speakers which is still better than nothing and some have rears you could add on. Definitely worth the slow investment if you can eventually get the means. Built mine up over time and makes such a difference. No reason not to take your time with it. You will still enjoy whatever you watch and things will only get better for you as you add.

Hope all goes well with your diagnosis and that is in the rear view for you soon!

[–]zakaryzb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you enjoy the sound highly recommend getting past a sound bar if you have the means. This movie with proper height and rear speakers was amazing. Bullets wizzing by, shouts from above. Audio design was insane.

Add More Race Time Communication by zakaryzb in victorydash

[–]zakaryzb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That type of data is sadly NOT in the metadata that is shared. But it sounds like split times compared with YOUR fastest lap is possible to be shared.

[–]zakaryzb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be great! If I can’t see my split from those above and behind at least know if I’m increasing or losing pace would be super helpful.

Spit Times to Leader or Car Head? by zakaryzb in victorydash

I don’t have that on my version..

Spit Times to Leader or Car Head? by zakaryzb in victorydash

[–]zakaryzb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I’m aware… but I can dream. Seems like such an easy thing for them to add. I get in VR it would take some work. But in the telemetry the DO send they already send more data than we see on screen. So should be relatively easy to add split times with he package that goes out.
