What’s dumb is that 3D failed because of lack of resolution and brightness, and now we have more pixels than we can handle and screens so bright they can hurt to look at. PS3 had a couple games that showed different screens to two players wearing 3D glasses. I’d love to see full screen couch coop games with modern tech. 8K isn’t solving any problems.

3D failed for the exact same reason VR is failing now. Nobody wants to wear headsets at home.

Nobody wants to wear headsets at home.

Or anywhere, really. AR/XR glasses are a big improvement, but can still be clunky.

Or bring on the neural shunt. Not so fast, Elon. It's not for your purposes. It's for mine. And I can't see who I could trust with direct connections to my brain... But once I plugged in, I love Amazon, and you should subscribe!

But VR can do a lot of cool things, 3d... not so much.

Screen dimming is technically possible over HDMI/Displayport no idea why its not properly supported and integrated into monitors, graphics drivers, windows and Linux. KDE shows dimming for monitors sometimes? Don't know if that is software or real hardware dimming though.

It’s real hardware dimming.

Nice thought so but wasn't sure.

I’m talking about brightness in context of 3d. KDE uses DDE with USB connected monitors which is the same thing as using a button to lower brightness.
