--- Comment #17 from NW <nw9165-jjnfov5...@yahoo.com> --- (In reply to Zamundaaa from comment #16) > I wasn't talking about the setting, but the terrible GUI app. Intel just released a new MS Windows GUI app for 11th Gen and later processors/graphics by the way, which is now called Intel Graphics Software: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/discrete-gpus/arc/software/graphics-software.html Regarding: (In reply to Zamundaaa from comment #16) > Movie modes do not provide color accuracy on TVs. The PC mode is the one > where most of the processing is disabled, and color gets displayed without > any changes. Nope, that's exactly the reason for why the PC mode is less color accurate. Because it bypasses most or all of the color management. The PC mode is often also not able to display 24 fps content properly, as it typically remains in a native 60 Hz panel refresh rate (on TVs that do not support VRR). Which means the PC mode is not really suitable for movie content. The only benefit of the PC mode is that it typically allows for full 4:4:4/RGB color without chroma subsampling and that it typically lowers the input lag, both being due to bypassing things such as color management and picture processing and so on. Which is good for computer usage, but not for movie usage. (In reply to Zamundaaa from comment #16) > This bug > report initially was about getting the TV to switch into PC mode > automatically No, it wasn't. Please feel free to quote the part which stated that. It was (and still is) about allowing to manually configure KDE Plasma to set the ContentType drm property, so that it doesn't need to be set via the TV's remote control. The automation part is about not having to do it via the TV's remote control. It's not about setting and forcing it automatically. Simply wasn't aware that KDE Plasma is already setting it automatically with no way to change it (which also does not seem to be documented anywhere). KDE Plasma should not set this automatically, at least not without a way to change it, i.e. it should not force it. (In reply to Zamundaaa from comment #16) > What do you actually want? > Adding an option just for the sake of adding the option is out of the > question. To elaborate on the request: Switching a TV into PC mode typically requires to rename the TV's input label from e.g. "HDMI1" to "PC", which requires several remote control button presses and is inconvenient. When a KDE Plasma computer is connected to a TV via a HDMI switch (together with other non-PC HDMI devices), then all those devices use the same HDMI input on the TV. Having to rename the TV's input label every time the KDE Plasma computer is being turned on and off would be very inconvenient. When a KDE Plasma computer is directly connected to a TV via HDMI and is the single source for watching content, then it would be inappropriate to always have KDE Plasma forcefully and automatically switch the TV into the PC mode (for the reasons explained above), at least as long as there is no way to disable/change it. It would be fine if KDE Plasma would automatically set the ContentType drm property by default. But if it is doing so, it should allow to disable or alter this behavior (via GUI). (In reply to Zamundaaa from comment #16) > The display settings GUI is already way more crowded than it > should be. It isn't. The existence of the RGB range drop-down for example is a unique and very important advantage of KDE Plasma. Intel graphics often automatically output limited (16-235) RGB range even though the display expects full (0-255) RGB, which results in incorrect black levels and a washed out picture. KDE Plasma currently is the only Wayland desktop environment which allows to manually set it to the correct full (0-255) RGB output via a GUI, which is a huge advantage over other Linux desktop environments. It's not clear why adding an additional Content Type GUI drop-down would be problematic. On the contrary, it would be very beneficial. > (In reply to Zamundaaa from comment #16) > Adding a CLI option would be possible While a CLI option would be better than no option, it wouldn't necessarily be the best UX (but would still be a appreciated). A GUI option would make for the best UX though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
