a lot of the time when we complain about a product around here we still have to
acknowledge that the trade-offs made some amount of
sense i mean i'm sure every engineer would love to make the thinnest
most powerful coolest and quietest laptop with the
best battery life but the real world is full of compromises there's one segment
where we feel like all the technology is
there and someone just needs to have the
stones to build it so i present to you
our vision for the perfect
gaming tv
the Corsair one features a compact form factor that is fast quiet and you
guessed it compact check it out through amazon or newegg at the links below
let's kick this off with a little disclaimer this won't be a cheap tv
this is our concept for what would be the flagship of our gaming tv lineup so
from here any tv manufacturer watching
hi tv manufacturers could create value options with some of our ideas cut out
the first crucial feature for our gaming tv is low input lag modern tvs run
powerful processors and in many cases even full Android computers in them with
enough power for everything from 4k HDR
netflix to complex near real-time image processing
and yet any cheapo monitor that i grab
off the floor in the office will have lower input leg than almost any tv on
the shelf at the store and there is no good reason for it i've heard it
directly from a large tv maker that they
intentionally leave a lot of processing on even in
game mode so that if stupid end users
watch movies in game mode the image will still have that instagram filter
vividness no so we would be using an OLED panel for
crt-like pixel response with a processing delay
like the best gaming monitors of one to three milliseconds and game mode would
run a simple srgb color profile with
factory calibrated accurate colors
speaking of responsiveness once you've used a high refresh rate display for
gaming there's really no going back so our tvs electronics would be capable of
driving its 4k panel at 4k 60hz or
at 1080p at a higher refresh rate 120hz
would be okay 144 or 165 would be better
and we'd also want to build in a mode where you can choose to interpolate the
reduction in resolution or use one to four pixel mapping for
similar sharpness to running at native resolution with basically just bigger
pixels we'd also throw in support for both g-sync and freesync which can be
done if you're willing to use two separate input modules but to fit those
in along with some of the other features we want to add we realize that some of
the thinness will have to be sacrificed though i honestly feel these days like
most people wouldn't care that much about an extra inch for gaming i'd
rather have a tv that's thicker but has the goods in it to be able to do away
with a standalone receiver so let's talk inputs
we want all of them first off displayport why
the is this not on tvs already
it's a royalty-free connector with tons of bandwidth and great support for
variable refresh rate just put it on so
ours would actually have two one for g-sync and one for freesync
and then as far as HDMI is concerned four seems like a pretty good number for
the back current gen consoles from the big three and a set top cable or
satellite box then oh we're not done yet
for our older inputs like rca s-video
component and vga our perfect tv would include a
high-quality low-latency video resolution upscaler basically an
integrated framemeister we'd have one set of inputs at the back for your
favorite retro console with another set at the front for that ps2 or snes that
you only pull out of the closet once in a while then while we're at it another
HDMI would be nice and a powered usb hub
for retro controllers and charging vr gear would be swell on to audio now we
came up with a really flexible solution for that it should come with bookshelf
speakers like a mackie cr4 but ones that
are mounted to the side of the tv the audio signal could be passed to them
using contacts on the side of the set so no wires but we'd also want them to be
able to be easily detached and repositioned using standard speaker
wires that way you could clip them on
discard them entirely or integrate them into an aftermarket surround setup the
audio outputs for the rest of which would just be good old-fashioned speaker
wire running on a high quality amp and dac along with rca and toslink if you've
got your own another no-brainer that we haven't seen enough of easy pairing with
bluetooth headsets including support for
multiple discrete audio streams and you would need that for our next feature the
pstv had the ability to show a completely separate full screen image to
two players using 3d glasses but since
then with active shutter glasses and OLED panels the potential for in-home
stereoscopic 3d has gotten much better but i don't want to use it for stereo 3d
imagine this gamers you and your kids
are wearing the a glasses gaming on a connected pc and speakers while your
wife and her friend wear b glasses and
watch 50 shades or whatever on their headphones each side is losing half of
the vertical resolution but from my review of lg's 2016 OLED the half
resolution experience at 4k is still
excellent let's talk remote now then it would be bluetooth because anything else
is kinda stupid and also so that you could easily use your phone as a remote
without a built-in ir emitter also it
would be pretty sick if it had a built-in keyboard and could be switched
like some of logitech's keyboards to control a pc as a gyroscopic air
keyboard like this one than just be switched back to the tv on the subject
of using widely adopted industry standards hmm
what kind of stand would we use maybe some kind of like weird like two feet on
one side no how about vasa
why do tv manufacturers keep reinventing the wheel here for both our 42-inch
model which we think would be perfect for a dorm or a bedroom and our 65-inch
model which is a great large format size for the living room without needing to
be transported to your house on a flatbed this solution would allow the
user to mount the tv however he or she wants a couple final housekeeping items
while we're dreaming RGB mood lighting on the back could be controlled through
the smartphone app controlled dynamically using an integrated dream
screen controller or over usb with integration with razer chroma and one
small thing that would make this tv much easier for use with a pc would be the
option to disable hdcp 2.2 on a given
source i've had some issues with it not allowing me to see anything until the
Windows driver loads meaning no BIOS adjustments unless i go grab an extra
monitor so let us know then in the comments
is there anything that you think we missed and do you guys agree that if
we're gonna be expected to spend four to five thousand dollars on a high-end tv
well there should be an option with features that are meaningful for gamers
because honestly i don't see why the vast majority of what we proposed
couldn't be done for around that price point or a little higher
casper is revolutionizing the mattress industry by cutting out the costs of
dealing with resellers and showrooms and passing that savings directly to the
