I wish all tv makers would make all inputs the full 48Gbps HDMI 2.1, several sets out now including some LG sets have HDMI 2.1 but they aren't full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 they are like 40Gbps.Whoa, thanks for this. It was a great read and also shines a light at just how fast things keep changing/improving. We still have to see how QD-OLED performs in comparison LG's flagship model. And LG is also rolling out its EX Tech this year so its going to be interesting to see how they all stack up. As the article points out Sony is still going to be using LG's panels for their other OLEDs which highlights just how firm a grip both LG & Samsung have on the industry.
One thing I don't understand about Sony. Why is it they only provide 2 HDMI 2.1 ports instead of 4 like LG? It makes no sense not to match the competition especially when asking for a higher price.
Luckily Sony is releasing the first QD-OLED and Samsung just makes the panel, dolby vision is listed on the product page. If you really are into Dolby Vision I don't think OLED is the type of tech you want, the limited brightness doesn't really allow DV to do what it's supposed to do. That being said no tv on the market fully uses DV the way it's intended, you'd need a 12-bit panel for that and no sets currently on the market are over 10-bit.Samsung doesnt even support Dolby Vision, would never consider an OLED from them because of that. Oh and only up to 65”? Lol

I guess its all opinion based I suppose because I recently read a tech article which made the case that HDR/Dolby Vision is best suited for OLED screens. The article pointed out that because of OLED high contrast ratio and vibrant colors that traditional LED can't match made those bright highlights from HDR and or DV stand out more even with lower overall brightness of OLED.Luckily Sony is releasing the first QD-OLED and Samsung just makes the panel, dolby vision is listed on the product page.

The Sony does and I would still rather go with a QD-OLED without DV vs a dated LG OLED.Samsung doesnt even support Dolby Vision, would never consider an OLED from them because of that. Oh and only up to 65”? Lol
OLED as it is today can't hit the brightness needed to take full advantage of HDR but I don't think anyone can deny that when looking at an OLED next to any LED-LCD set the OLED image looks cleaner and more impressive.I guess its all opinion based I suppose because I recently read a tech article which made the case that HDR/Dolby Vision is best suited for OLED screens.

Its not like I have two TVs side by side so I'll never know. I just pick one like I did recently and its made me a convert to OLED. I'm still on the hunt for an OLED in the 65" range that can handle reflections better than the C1 I have. The C1 has great picture but any light source behind me is reflected so this screen in my livinngroom would be troublesome unless I keep the curtains drawn which is not something I always like to do, I need a little sunshine every now and then.
The LG C1 offered the best price/performance combo compared to almost anything the competition has on offer. I've had Sony & Samsung TVs so those were the brands I first looked at. But they just didn't have the gaming options I was looking for and most agree the C1 is where its at. Obviously the competition is catching up feature wise but I didn't want to wait. I wanted a new display for my shiny new consoles.Tech always moves fast in TVs you'll always be left behind, I got the C1 as it has pretty much everything I need unlike most competitors.
I don't even have my C1 on full brightness I don't know why you'd want to go so bright and burn your eyes. I wouldn't go LED again after using both and seeing side by sides, there's definitely no going back, maybe for QD, but not LED.

Game Capture Using Voice Command (Preview): U.S. and U.K. limited release
- PS4 to PS5 Saved Data Migration. We're making it easier for you to access your PS4 saved data on your PS5 console through two ways:
- When you download or install a PS4 game on your PS5 console, a notification that PS4 saved data is available in your PlayStation Network cloud storage will appear (if your PS5 console doesn't already have saved data for the game). Simply select the notification to download your saved data.
- When you download or install a PS5 game that can load PS4 saved data, such as the PS5 version of a game that was also released on PS4, the same notification will appear (if the game supports this feature).
- (Note: online storage for saved data requires a PlayStation Plus subscription)
- PS5 to PS5 Data Transfer. You can now easily transfer the data on your PS5 console, including games, saved data, user profiles, settings, screenshots, and videos, to another PS5 console using a local Wi-Fi network or a LAN cable. You can either transfer the data during the initial PS5 console setup or later from the settings menu. This process doesn't remove or modify the data on your original PS5 console.
- Screen Reader Improvements. The screen reader now gives more detailed guidance when navigating the console. It will now tell you which direction you can move from the currently selected component, as well as your current position in a component with multiple items. Additionally, when using the screen reader to view web pages, you'll now see borders around the section that's being read aloud.
- Wireless Device Update for DualSense Wireless Controller. You can now update the DualSense wireless controller device software with a wireless connection. If you have trouble updating the device software wirelessly, connect your controller to your PS5 console using the USB cable to update it. You'll be able to update wirelessly for the next update.
- Voice Command now supports using your voice to save video clips of your gameplay.
- Say "Hey PlayStation, capture that!" to save a video clip of your recent gameplay. The default duration saved is based on your settings.
- You can also save a specific duration of your gameplay, from 15 seconds to 60 minutes. For example, to save 5 minutes, say "Hey PlayStation, capture the last 5 minutes".
- Say "Hey PlayStation, start recording" to manually start a new gameplay recording. You can then say "Hey PlayStation, stop recording" to end the recording and save the video clip.
- Voice Command (Preview) is currently available in English for beta participants with accounts registered to the U.S. and U.K.
Maybe someone holds a patent?The voice stuff is cool. Why no screenshot command, though?
I have been waiting for that. I assume that includes my DS Edge too?The updating Dualsense wirelessly is so good.
