Well, Joe Kane is an NOT an idiot.
Just because he's published words on a website doesn't mean he's an authority on the subject.
I'll make it really simple:
- My grandma wouldn't care, or notice a difference between watching Maury Povich on a 27" CRT in standard def versus seeing it on a 200" screen in 6k with balanced HDR.
I can. Big time.
- My dad can't notice the difference between frame interpolation being ON, versus being OFF.
Frame interpolation gives me a headache, and it looks like shit.
- My cousin couldn't tell the boost in audio fidelity when I switched from Layer Cake's DTS (auto started at that setting) track, to PCM.
For me, it was night and day. Immediately.
- A 1080p presentation at 65" has a lot to offer versus 720p. From ten feet away. For me.
For my grandma, she could be 5 feet away and still wouldn't know which is which.
... So, for that Joe Kane dude to make all these pointless comparisons with arbitrary numbers and comments... it's based on the concept that everyone can perceive details with the same scrutiny.
I love HDR, but it can be a botch job.
However, my grandma would say "What?! HD-WHAT?! I don't know. Can I watch my Maury now?!"
