Love that they intentionally blur the 1080p image too. I love 4k but the difference isn't that huge, that's an SD image next to 4k.
All around shitty. Charge for quality or device count. Not both.
They also increased the saturation/contrast too.
Next rev of this promo the non premium version will look like watching video on an 8-bit NES.
That comparison might have merit, though. If they use 8-bit 1080p, it will have lower dynamic range than UHD at 10-bit depth.
They captured this off the TV using a cell phone camera and uploaded to Lemmy and the difference is noticeable. It's not a dynamic range problem.
