Do 8K TVs for gaming make sense now? When is it time to replace a TV? How does the way a TV makes a picture match up with how our vision works?
Each week, we'll hand pick some of the most commonly asked questions and answer them as concisely and helpfully as we know how. On today’s You Asked : And which is better at upscaling: the game console or TV?
Here’s the deal: I don’t see native 8K games coming very soon. It takes a monumental amount of processing power to render 4K games at higher frame rates. Doing 8K games at reasonable frame rates? … We’ll get there, but that is going to require a pretty huge advance in computing power. I will say that this should all look pretty great at 77 inches or larger and, for sure, 85 inches or larger.
Upscaling to 4K from 480p is a hard job, though, so you’ll probably find that neither one does a super amazing job at it. But the jump-up in picture quality starts to be less stark if you’re upgrading from a high-end TV to another high-end TV. For example, if you have a 2019 Sony A9G OLED TV, you would see some improvement by upgrading to the Bravia 8 but that the difference between those two would be far less noticeable than the difference between a 2019 TCL 6-Series and the 2024 TCL QM8.
Bonus question: How are cameras and displays calibrated for color recording and reproduction accuracy? How do we know the RGB wavelengths recorded by the camera sensor are the same wavelengths displayed by the TV’s LEDs? A TV works by combining red, green, and blue, too. And it is important that the TV covers as much of the full spectrum of red, green, and blue wavelengths as possible. What’s more important is how well a TV can mix those wavelengths. If a TV can produce and mix color wavelengths in the same way our eyes perceive them, then we say they can produce color correctly.
