    4k is enough, 60fps is enough, no smart or AI stuff is perfectly fine…

    What about reducing the energy consumption? That’s an innovation I want.

      Are you aware that reducing the energy consumption on monitors is competely irrelevant compared to the giant data centers coming up now, taking as much as power as a full city?

      One typical AI data center ≈ 1 TWh/year ≈ the electricity used by 100 000 average homes annually.

      A very large AI data center under construction ≈ 20 TWh/year ≈ electricity for ~2 million homes annually.

      Fun times isnt it.

      I hope you mean 60hz is enough for TVs. Because I certainly don’t want that regression on my monitor 😄

        Totally agree. Huge difference when moving windows or gaming on a 120 Hz or higher monitor. So smooth.
