I bought one on the premise of both PS5 and Xbox Series X releasing 8K content.

We got:

The Touryst - Not a bad game, but not needing 8K either.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps supported 6K, GREAT game.

On the PS5 Pro (through PSSR upscaling)

F1 24 (at 60 FPS)

Gran Turismo 7 (at 60 FPS)

No Man’s Sky (at 30 FPS)

Pure Pool Pro (at 30 FPS with ray tracing)

[REDACTED] (at 60 FPS)

The Callisto Protocol (at 30 FPS with ray tracing)

And that's it...

You have an 8k screen? Honestly the first person I've seen in the wild. How big is it and can you see the resolution difference?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

65" and it's impressive with ONE drawback... Samsungs HDR implementation SUCKS. Suuuuuuuucks.

Without HDR, everything is bright, crisp, and clean.

With HDR, it's dark, muddy, and unwatchable.

I've done all the firmware updates, RTINGS calibrations, NOTHING works.

Well, nothing except disabling HDR on every device attached to it.

Hmm, that's both impressive and disappointing. I'd think for a 65" you'd need to be super close to tell. I assume it's Samsung's HDR10 (or +) standard since they refuse to put Dolby Vision on their sets.
