The one place where I think 8K and up is really gonna matter is VR, when you’ve got pixels inches away from your eyes, but that tech is still niche and a long-term work in progress (Apple jumped the gun trying to make it mainstream too soon). 4K and HDR are great, but 1080p really does still look good even on a big TV.
Also, I’m the biggest freak in the world about input latency but even in the craziest rhythm games, there is no possible way just over 0.1ms of lag is screwing you up unless you are an actual machine. That’s 1/10,000th of a second! Guessing you either meant .1 second or you’re Skynet.
Yeah .1s my bad, it’s like 160ms. It wasn’t bothersome until I got to 7/8+ star on taiko no tatsujin (although even before that playing with the drum sounds on on mid ranked was kind of disorienting and that sucks because the new game has custom drum sounds that are neat)
I don’t know much about vr but does hdmi matter in that context? Doesn’t vr typically use either usb c or no cabling at all? I genuinely don’t know, vr makes me barf after 20 minutes
Oh yeah, 160ms is definitely brutal in that context. I’m surprised there’s not a game mode or something to cut that down.
And you’re totally right, VR is generally USB-C when wired. I was more commenting on where 8K and up is actually going to make a noticeable difference, which really has little to do with HDMI. It’s not such a bad thing for the cable standards to be ahead of the tech, but I think we’ve got a while before hardware that can really push that well is in the mainstream.
As for the barfing - I’ve found the better the tech (clearer visuals, higher refresh rate) the lower the barf rate! I definitely know the feeling
