Vero I use primarily for watching TV (mostly local channels that are freely available by internet ). I also watch a few services like crackle and vimeo. Netflix and google I watch on a tablet, but I do not watch these that much.
At the moment I am considering purchasing a USB tuner for the Vero. But it must be one that works with analog NTSC (that is the system that my cable provider uses) . I used to watch TV in the living room but that TV does not work anymore. Let me know what is the best way to use a USB tuner with the Vero, and what tuner may be best suited for that task. I have seen a Hauppauge tuner somewhere on these pages but I cannot find it now. Our telecom service is in the process of installing fiber optic cable for the whole island. Has anyone here tried the Vero on a fiber optic connection?
Iām not sure I agree with that. OLED maximum brightness has been stuck somewhere south of 1000nits for a long time. TVs 7 years ago could hit around 800nits, but thereās been barely any improvement since then. QD-OLED greatly improves colour saturation at high luminance levels compared to RGBW OLED panels, but it doesnāt actually boost maximum luminance much. LCD-based displays can go brighter - some hit 2000nits now - but there are practical limits as to how bright they can go, partly because of what it does to black levels (and the inevitable haloing) and partly because there are quite strict rules about the maximum amount of electricity a television can consume - rules that are only going to get more strict with time. As for the rec.2020 gamut, essentially no current release even tries to use that yet: theyāre all limited to DCI-P3.
Itās going to be a long time - perhaps a decade or more - before we see TVs that can push 4000 nits reliably - certainly well outside the lifespan of the Vero V. It may need a whole new display tech to achieve that kind of performance - something like MicroLED (and Iām not sure that will ever really get off the ground - it may go the way of SED). If we ever do see that kind of performance, arguably thatās when Dolby Vision will finally come into its own: HDR10 is limited to 10-bits and 4000 nits, while Dolby Vision is 12-bit and capped at 10,000 nits.
Like it or not, DV is the standard now. Netflix uses it, so do Disney Plus, Apple TV+, and Paramount+; Prime Video is beginning to embrace it. And most high-profile UHD blu rays use it too - not just for new stuff, but remastered classic films like Citizen Kane or Itās A Wonderful Life - theyāre all DV. Like it or not, DV is the standard and HDR10 an inferior fallback, and itās going to be a long time before that changes.
You are pushing a conversation that I just asked you to restrict to a location that you had already started.
You seem to fail to understand pretty much everything that people try to convey to you and just ask the same questions that were already answered using different words but not imparting any substantive difference.
I volunteer my time here because I enjoy helping others and contributing to a project that I have benefited from for many years. I have zero obligation to anyone here to help them with their homework.
This thread is over 90 posts long and has covered everything from TV tuners to Dolby Vision to streaming services.
We politely ask that users start a new thread when they have a new query. This makes it easier for us to answer and help you; but also makes it easier for others to get help in the future. You may not be the only one looking at this forum who is interested in an ATSC solution.
It would be very much appreciated if anyone in here can give a link or some direction to the topic of dongles that you are referring to. I cannot find it at the moment.
