If you have a theater nearby that offers Dolby Vision films you can try out a version of HDR. They use laser projectors so the blacks can really be pure black. When the screen goes dark just before the movie the entire theater will be pitch black except for emergency lighting. It’s glorious.

kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What are the minimum or recommended requirements for a personal home server?English1·21 days agoEDIT: I meant QSV Gen 7, which would be intel Gen 11. Kaby Lake and up can still handle HEVC in hardware but they have to use software as well for 4K.
worth mentioning that any intel cpu with an iGPU from generation 7 (kaby lake) and up can handle 4k hevc transcode in hardware. i just upgraded my plex box to an i7 8700K and it works quite well. an old office workstation with like a 9th or 11th gen intel cpu would probably rip through transcodes.
It’s been a bit since I saw the original behind the scenes vid or whatever it was, what was the context?
kieron115@startrek.websiteto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in AprilEnglish2·3 months agoPlex has pretty bad DV “support” as an example. AFAIK it will only play back dolby vision profiles that have the HDR10 compatibility mode or whatever. Any time I get an older DV file I have to play it through some Android TV app.

I don’t want to think about explaining VPNs and SSL to them for the alternatives.

Now that’s an ass I’ve not seen in a loooong time.
Just curious, do you know how many trees were MOLESTED to create that air you’re breathing?
