It's just such a wonderful TV that I'm getting much more use out of it than I ever did with my crappy plasma.
Can't argue with that! Who'd watch a shit TV for that amount of time
So it seems that my b6 2016 oled was not as future proof as I thought. Dolby vision which I believe will be big for games in the future (since it looks much better than HDR10 due to the dynamic metadata) is only possible in 1080p/60hz and 2160p/30hz on 2016 oleds while 2017 oleds can activate DV in 2160p/60 hz.
I base this on two things.
First, there are videos out there showing that you can activate DV in 2160p/60hz in mass effect andromeda when using a C7 (2017 oled). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC5DiQYjlwQ
Second, lots of b6 oled users on neogaf and avsforum (me included) report that mass effect andromeda is only playable in 2160p/30hz which brings terrible input lag and is almost unplayable. 1080/60 is playable with ok levels of input lag, but who wants to game in 1080p on a 4k screen?
This is a bad sign for the future since 2017 oled users are also more likely to get a DV game mode while 2016 users will probably not get it (but needs it more). Not a happy b6 owner today =(
That's pretty annoying, and something no one would have considered when purchasing it, but granted there's not much in the way of DV enabled games though, still you'd have thought clicking on DV in ME was just a formality and not something that would be gimped.
I'd feel pissed off too.
I just want someone to fix HDR for Windows at the mo, it's stopping me from playing ME.
