oh, different clarity. I remember reading that you can't use normal monitors as upright side monitors (by standing it up vertically) because the text becomes blurry due to the subpixel layout meaning that letters can't be rendered with sharp edges.
idk where you heard that, I used to use a 1600x900 monitor I stole from work as a vertical monitor (discord, forums, twitter) and it worked perfectly fine
I didn't have any issue with legibility, only reason I tossed it out was cuz I no longer had space on my desk for it.

It's still in windows 10 and 11, but IG now most text rendering is hardware accelerated so it doesn't do much

Maybe by then microLED will be cheap enough to buy normallyMy CX still have some years.
When is the time these TVs today will be all ancients
So I won’t bother for now.

Interview with basically a marketing/PR manager from Sony's TV division about their new hardware
-pretty much confirms the reason why Sony has been skipping major trade shows like CES - many competing manufacturers/vendors means a quick news cycle meaning your announcements can easily get lost in the churn of the news cycle
-shift in technology is related to how content is mastered; post-covid movie theaters aren't bouncing back because people have good tvs now so more filmmakers are mastering content for home theater, also new mastering sony mastering monitor goes up to 4000 nits so now they need TVs that can hit that brightness to match
-new mastering monitor uses the same backlight control system that's going in consumer tvs (skeptical of this claim as the hx3110 is like $30,000)
-reason sony can use less dimming zones and get a better reason is because their dimming zones can do more, standard LED drivers operated with an 8- or 10-bit (256/1024 different states) data stream, while sony's microLEDs use a 22-bit (4million states) stream so they have much more fine control over each LED/zone
lg is pumping these out so fast lmao, feels like the c3/g3 just came out yesterday. And everyone is showing off their next oleds and Sony is focusing on Mini LED
