Gurm do you intend to test the xbox one x?

    reaganry isn't everything specific right now to 8bit? As long as you have a true 8bit display?

      If temporal dithering is a problem... Couldn't we test it out by just setting the color on a display to zero, essentially rendering the screen black and white?

        Link I only see such a thing causing problems. There isn't a way to mask dithering, short of possibly a higher PPI display, and higher PPI displays have other implications such as having on-screen items too small. And no one knows if said chip in the cable does dithering of it's own either.

          It'd be interesting to hear if anyone has any experience with something like the nvidia shield pro which has the same Tegra x1 chip as the Nintendo switch. It allows to stream certain games from the cloud also. Or something like the OUYA which has a Tegra 3.

          degen I haven't read this whole thread yet but wanted to share that everything posted here is very interesting. I own 4 plasma TV's and have had PS4, PS2, Wii, Original XBox and for years had a computer hooked up to it with multiple operating systems. I was so frustrated with LED just being too complicated that when I used a plasma I never have eye pain. No matter what operating system I had installed Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Win XP/Win 7 / Win 10 / Mint I never had issues. I have a BenQ GW2270 that I bought 1 month ago it seems if I wear SCT orange glasses I can use it. I was playing a game on the computer a couple of weeks ago for six hours as long as I had the glasses on I was fine. Windows 10 was installed. The moment I take the orange glasses off It starts to get to me. LED is just insane I want to buy more plasma TV's🙂

              jasonpicard You're the only one I can think of here that seems like your issues are blue-light sensitivity. Everyone else seems to be blaming dithering. So I'm a minority-within-a-minority here =(

                  MagnuM yeah I think it's blue light and flicker. I'm not 100 percent certain but it seems when I put SCT orange glasses on I can usually tolerate pwm free devices.

                      jasonpicard I bought a flicker-free BenQ LED and still had immediate back-of-the-eye pain when looking at it, but I didn't try any blue-blockers with it. Still though, I would rather use CCFL backlits, as I only get similar symptoms if I crank the brightness levels up (and it takes a lot longer to set in too)

                          MagnuM I find the blue light issue feels the same as flicker. That is what I get unless I put the SCT orange on.

                              MagnuM for some random reason I can use my OLED phone without orange glasses but my BenQ I need orange glasses. It may be due to spectrum issues. OLED produces more red light. Which is the healing light and more easier to process.

                                  MagnuM that's good news. I was wondering the same thing with the OLED TV's. They cost too much at the moment. Plasma TV's off of Kijiji right now are 200-400 dollars. I bought one about two months ago for 180.

                                      Can you use the plasma as a monitor? I mean as far as lag and text clarity? I have a top of the line BenQ flicker free and still get quite sever headaches with very little use.

                                          ShivaWind I have a BenQ it seems if I wear the SCT orange Goggles I'm fine with it. They are super cheap on Amazon you should try them if you haven't already.
