What if I told you that in two months NVIDIA was coming out with a service that could do that for $20 per month… Would you sign up if it had Overwatch?
Why would they cancel the previous service? Also, the user has to have the hardware capable to do it. Meaning their display must be capable upscaling is not an option.
I have talked about this quiet frequently in the A/V world, most users could not tell the difference between 60 to 240 hz. They can notice color, detail, and resolutions but not FPS.
IT is more than that, I really should look up the name of the Nvidia service but to lazy atm. If you work remotely into machines, servers, content, etc. You can tell by the quality, latency, etc. I say give it about 10 years and they will begin to experiment again.
You have to because people are not to keen in constantly updating displays. I mean look how long 1080p has stuck around. If you work in commerical AV you get to see some amazing displays but are the cost worth it? Nope, especially for the masses. There really is no need for 8k, I would prefer a faster refresh rate and hz. IMAX records in 16k but you also have to remember you can daisychain displays for resolutions. I think we will see 4k 240 hz displays this year or maybe next year.
Than you have competitive gamers which make me laugh. You opt to play a game in 1080p at 500+ FPS because you believe it gives an advantage. By believing this nonsense you are preventing innovation by the companies who want your money. Look at Asus announcing a 1080p 500 hz display this CES. That is nothing special.
