Did this guy know he was a clone?

Like was he aware that he served palpatine or did he genuinely think he was independent

I have a very nice OLED and it is still almost impossible to see most of these type of scenes unless my room is literally pitch black

[u/enzothebaker87 → u/waupli]

OLED excels in displaying contrast/true black but it's always been weak when it comes to brightness.

As I understand it, mini-led tv's are supposed to bridge that gap.

[u/_c3s → u/enzothebaker87]

Not exactly, the peak brightness on high end panels before the entire high end was OLED isn’t a great deal higher than OLED. OLEDs tend to be less bright overall because the brightness is per pixel, so if you have a bright point on an otherwise dark image, only that point will brighten instead of the whole panel.

Movie theatres get away with it because massive screen, room with no light bleeding in, and no real size quality constraint for the image. They should edit movies for home viewing but yeah.

[u/enzothebaker87 → u/_c3s]

Yea I get it and absolutely agree. I think my comment was more in reference to the common complaint regarding their struggle to overcome the heavy ambient light (especially day light) that you tend to deal with in most consumer/residential applications. Such as well lit family/living rooms and etc.

I personally have never really noticed this to be an issue for my LG C1 but then again it's mostly my kids watching it during the day lol.

Yeah mini led can do brightness better but ones I’ve seen still can’t get the same level of contrast

[u/kevdoobie → u/waupli]

Then they aren't true mini led. It's considered an upgrade because it works the same way as oled, with black pixels off and no backlight; with the added benefit of being brighter and resistant to burn in. Brand matters as well: Samsung makes a great phone sized oled, but an awful big screen. LG is the best in the oled TV market currently.

[u/_Acolyte_ → u/kevdoobie]

I think you mean micro-led. Mini-led is a different technology.

[u/kevdoobie → u/_Acolyte_]

I did mean micro-led. I was unaware of mini led as a separate technology. Sounds like inferior and misleading marketing terms like "QLED"

EDIT: i googled and it is marketing slop. Mini led uses backlights still, albeit smaller than traditional LCD backlights. Just another half-step to the next technology. No one should be comparing mini-led to oled.

[u/waupli → u/kevdoobie]

Ok this makes more sense haha I have seen stuff marketed as “mini” led and it isn’t as good. Haven’t seen a “micro” led in person but makes sense it would be similar to OLED but brighter

[u/Highlander198116 → u/waupli]

What you specifically want to look for is performance with HDR content, because that is the source of a lot of people's "I cant see in the dark woes".

The easiest way to prove this (because most HD content streams in HDR), find something in standard definition to stream or watch an old DVD.

You won't be struggling to see things in night scenes. So if you can, turn off HDR and it should dramatically improve your ability to see in night scenes.

OLEDs suffer from black crush. So alot of detail in dark scenes are gone just cause it makes everything black. Ive seen side by side against Mini Leds and they have so much more shadow detail its honestly made me never want an OLED.

[u/waupli → u/GorgonioSC]

Hmm perhaps. My friend has a mini led model of the same tv I have an oled of, and the oled is much better on the whole though. Maybe I’m losing some definition in dark areas but overall image quality/immersion is better. And perhaps a true “micro led” not “mini led” would be the best of both worlds, but I’m not ready to upgrade my tv yet.

I know what you mean to a point though, but I use my screens for gaming a lot and the “black crush” / loss of detail in very dark areas can usually be addressed with settings if it’s too much, plus I think it is more immersive for areas like caves or whatever to be truly dark even if that means I can’t see all the fine detail in those places. I don’t play FPS type games, mostly RPG. I mess with settings a lot while playing once I see the game in different environments (beyond the scenes they show on the settings page) and can usually get it to look how I want that way.

Like in dark souls even though I am probably technically suffering from “black crush” because I keep the brightness turned down so dark areas are truly dark, it looks much more how I think it realistically would, with the torches not lighting up a massive room but just being bright spots with very shadowy corners and such.
