4K yay or 4K nay?

Plus I'm sure he has a monster graphics card, so it shouldn't be an issue.

For those genuinely interested in 4K, HDR, UHD Bluray etc then I'd suggest making sure your next set is certified as UHD Premium by the UHD Alliance. Might finally be the year to upgrade to something bigger.

I tried a couple of converters I found through Google and they even supported CUDA. Unfortunately even after an hour each they hadn't even converted 1% of the movie so I gave up.

Did any of those converters include Handbrake? It's basically the standard, imo.

[Alan P]

I looked at Handbrake as well. Same issue.

Oh and I think it was the audio stream that made the TV baulk at the file. It had a DTS 7.1 lossless audio track.

Another way to hide the TV: transparent screen on shelving.

I don't really understand how that works, but that's cool.

OLED
Transparent displays with OLEDs are the most commonly produced forms of see-through displays on the market or in development. OLED screens have two layers of glass on both sides of the OLED, which consist of an emissive and conductive layer. Electrical impulses travel through the conductive layer and produce light at the emissive layer. This is different from LCD's in that OLED's produce their own light, which allows the screens to be much thinner, while LCD's need to be backlit. The narrow gap between the pixels of the screen as well as the clear cathodes within allow the screens to be transparent. These types of screen have been notoriously difficult and expensive to produce in the past, but are now becoming more common as the method of manufacturing them is advancing.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

That's pretty neat.
