Where exactly are the speakers located? I don't see a front-facing speaker on each end of the screen. Stereo speakers don't really do a whole lot for, well, stereo, if they're both on the same end of the screen...Ideally you'd want something like the front-facing speakers used on the Pixel 2 or...

Agreed, I have never heard anywhere that OLED had any trouble covering the entirety of the REC 2020 color spec. If anything OLED's color gamut surpasses anything the venerable CRT, LCD and Plasma have ever been capable of displaying. Quantum Dots are a last ditch effort to extend LCD's color...

OLED?....YES YES YES!!!!! Curved? Just...no...really? Why even....ugh... Curving your screen does not make ANY SENSE if the screen doesn't cover a significant amount of multiple viewer's fields of vision, like a 50' movie theater projector screen, or even a 100+" home theater room screen in a...

It seems the lack of blur is the main culprit that people are pointing out. Our eyes actually blur quite a bit, but we don't notice it as much as our eyes are constantly re-focusing and following objects in motion. That's very difficult to mimic with any kind of camera, and will never work for...

As far as I know, The Hobbit was shot using RED Epic cameras, which record the footage in their own RAW format, with intra-frame compression set to a very low ratio. There is more color/light data in each frame than any current display or projector can even realize, and likely more than any film...

720x480 = 345600 pixels in the DVD version 1920x1080 = 2073600 pixels in the blu-ray version. Divide and it comes out to exactly 6x the resolution. True 24hz helps a ton in the motion department also. That and the fact it'll be in ITU-R BT.709 color space as opposed to DVD's ITU-R BT.601...

It may have to do with how IE9 is offloading the actual rendering to the GPU? I know that's possible with XP but maybe not the way they're trying to implement it? Excuse to leave XP or no, I'm enjoying Windows 7 and can't wait to check this out when it's actually in Beta.

the 2 1/2 year estimate is accurate in the sense that they're marketing this display for commercial advertising. Hence, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year of non-stop usage (8760 hours right there). I have no idea whether or not that's up to snuff for a typical ad in Times Square, but it's cool...

That's a good argument for existing DLP and projection LCD tv's, since a new bulb brings you near mind-condition picture quality for several hundred bucks. Or are you talking more about older commercial displays or scoreboards where one incandescent light bulb is one pixel? This technology...

Power consumption on this should actually be a lot lower than an LCD or even LED lit LCD display of the same size. That's the beauty of OLED technology...astronomical quality at a fraction of the power cost...and eventually price. Am I correct in that "lifespan" for tv's is typically the...

yeah I had a feeling it wasn't worth getting for it's ultra price. Pardon the lack or research on that one.

I know TiVo has gotten good reviews of their new HD box, though I'm guessing they're charging a ridiculous premium for it. That would do everything you would need it to do though. Not sure if you can buy them as stand alone products, but Scientific Atlantica makes HD DVR units that output...

DVDs are only 480i, using 3:2 pulldown to play them at 60i. If you use a progressive scan player and use component cables, you can set the player to output 480p at 24fps (progressive reverses the 3:2 pulldown and reconstructs the original progressive film frames) I'm really wary of using even...

my apologies for the hi-jacking. I just got excited that someone else who owned a b-inspirer was posting about it. to contribute to aiasthewall's question, yes the card should work fine with the setup you're proposing. Set the analog output to 2 speaker, and the digital output (if used) to...

I'm pretty sure there are specific HDTV settings in the video drivers (1080i being one of the options) but I'm not certain how it will actually look.
