@xMBGx I'm done with PlayStation after PS5. Going forward it'll be Switch 2 and PC.

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@xMBGx Physical forever.

@RobertKennedyJr Don't bend the knee to Trump. Stay the course!

@GreenHellGame Will the Xbox Series X|S and PS5 versions of Green Hell feature much needed updates for 60fps Performance Modes? Thank you. 🔥

@GreenHellGame Please add Performance Mode to the current-gen console versions of Green Hell. Thank you.

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@GreenHellGame Please add a Performance Mode to the PS5 version of Green Hell - it's a massive downgrade to fall back to low frame rates when the PS4 app playing on PS5 is smooth and responsive. Thank you! 🔥

@appleinsider How long do these deals last?

@MichaelMann @WesleyStudi The Last of the Mohicans would be gorgeous on 4K Blu-ray.

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@zavvi Conan the Barbarian and we need a 4K Blu-ray.

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@HDMOVIESOURCE @ParamountPics Arrow's standard Blu-ray Django looks better than most digitally shot movies on 4K, regardless of bit-rate. But I'm not advocating for low bit-rates, I'm saying there are other factors in picture quality that have greater impact, such as a good 35mm source rather than digital.

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@HDMOVIESOURCE @ParamountPics There's no data I'm aware of that says film grain material requires 30 Mbps more bit-rate than movies free of grain. There are clearly a lot of variables that determine best image quality here - the source material - free of egregious digital filtering being the most important.

@dark1x PS5 new update adds ALLM [Off] [Automatic] to settings.

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@dark1x @Kirby0Louise @stikves LG tuned C1 BFI to have less flicker than CX BFI - and lots of users prefer C1 BFI for that reason. C2 BFI really is a step down, unfortunately.

[John Linneman @dark1x]

@eggdaddy @_LarZen_ Not correct. It's 12-bit - but it drops to 4:2:2 using chroma subsampling. Xbox is the reverse and only does 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 in 60hz whereas 120hz is 4:4:4

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@dark1x @halo_mid_ @darrenhupke @Dachsjaeger It's unfortunate because Sony does a far better job than Samsung with local dimming in Game mode. VRR is new for Sony though, maybe their X95K Mini-LED with the return of the Backlight Master Drive can combine VRR and local dimming effectively?

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@dark1x @retrofpga @RodrigoGroverA @dave_fpg Still, VRR definitely smooths out Elden Ring on the faster loading PS5 - and I haven't seen a hint of VRR flicker on my LG C1.

[Hammer @HammerTHX]

@Ethes175 @LeonPlays1708 @dark1x BFI on the C1 was tuned to have less flicker than the CX's, however. Lots of people prefer C1 BFI. Sony needs to provide an On/Off option for ALLM in PS5.
