Digital Foundry: the best 4K TVs for HDR gaming

Without HDR game lag isn't bad at all on the sets they tested, but when they turned on HDR (movie/cinema lag) :scust:

I might have to wait until we get some 4k sets that can handle HDR and have low input lag because just using HDR for movies and tv isn't what I want to do.

Just gonna cop me a really good 1080p projector for my mancave now and a regular 4k HDR set for my bedroom, but that's all. I can't be getting killed even more by @Los! and @Mowgli on BF1 with that kinda shytty input lag.

Hopefully some good 4k-HDR sets for GAMING will become available in the next year or 2.

Maybe you just need to practice more. Working fine for me

Having HDR on increases the input lag. These manufacturers ain't thinking about gaming in HDR.

I'm torn. Should I wait for something that has low input lag with HDR or just say fukk it? Looking for a 4k projector.

that's the problem. no TVs are being made for gaming in HDR, hence my concern.
if you're really worried about input lag, turn all that extra crap off. it might make shyt look better, but there's always a cost

How are you going by this shyt instead of trying it out yourself :jbhmm: hmmmmm

:what: kind of dumb shyt is this man? I don't have a way to test input lag in HDR. You said yourself your 4K set doesn't have it, so you don't have that problem to worry about.

HDR increases the processing on a picture, hence the increase in lag. If there are no sets out there yet that have been made to enable you have to HDR on without noticeably affecting input lag (critical in shooters), then why cop now instead of wait for something that does.

Or should I just say fukk it and accept that I can't have it on while gaming?

nikka nikka you worrying about some stats when sometimes it what you experience or can see with your eyes. These dudes basically saying don't buy an HDR TV even though the shyt makes Movies and Video games look better. You taking about input lag but you been playing at 30fps your entire fukking life. You complaining about bullshyt breh.

Dude talking about shooters when they play on console. There is no difference breh. I would like to see a video of a dramatic lag input compared to a regular video game standard.

Smh

that's the thing dog, it never dawned on me until now that having HDR while gaming would fukk up the input lag. I want to hold out hope that somethign will be made that would enable it to be on while gaming without noticeably affecting the input lag. Holding out for a good 4K HDR set was my goal, but after reading about this shyt, I dunno now. I wanna get on the 4K wave with a 4k projector, but I'm torn right now on what to do.

Option 1: Say fukk HDR gaming and just get a 4k projector with low inpu tlag
Option 2: Say fukk HDR gaming and just get a 4K TV with low input lag
Option 3: Wait for a 4K projector with low input lag with HDR on
Optoin 4: Wait for a 4K TV with low input lag with HDR on

Can you read. You don't see the huge jumps while in "cinema mode" aka having HDR on? That shyt ain't acceptable. If I have the money to get the best, I don't want to buy some shyt and regret not waiting.

I don't make uniformed decisions when the information is out there to do otherwise. :birdman:
