No. I would be angry to know that someone is using a new console in lo-res mode

The only way you can atone is to move the 4K TV into the smaller room.

I agree, HDR is the bigger loss imo


My TV supposedly supports HDR but it doesn't just work so I'm pretty sure it isn't on, or if it is it's misconfigured. I think if anything the anxiety over it has made my life worse.

Buy a CRT and experience motion like people that have just pissed £2000 on a new TV can only dream of.

Guys, the plans have been delayed a bit - I didn't get the time this afternoon and, right now, it's just too hot to start disconnecting and moving around a load of kit and furniture.

Hopefully the new improved setup will be undertaken tomorrow afternoon!

I literally have no idea what advantage HDR brings to gaming/films, I know what it is and my TV supports it but I've never seen any discernible difference when watching supposed HDR content.
