So Samsung have a TV that meets the requirements at $1300 but Sony doesn't at $1600. Wtf!
Or am I missing a Sony TV that does at a decent price?
How big a deal is the difference between 8 and 10 in your opinion? |
Hmm, maybe display specifications is wrong on the Sony ones
http://ca.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x930d mentions 10 bit panel, matches UHD premium specs, yet 52 ms input lag!
http://ca.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x850d 10 bit gradient looks good (doesn't mention the panel bit depth)
http://ca.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x800d is also 8 bit here
I see color banding in 8 bit, I would assume it will be worse with a wider color gamut trying to display more colors at the same bit depth, ie bigger steps between colors. It depends on the content, you won't notice it in movies with film grain. You can notice it in games or cgi with smooth gradients. Some panels hide it better than others. If you've never noticed it, don't go looking for it :) Ignorance is bliss when it comes to displays. Once seen, etc etc.
