I was watching some CES2020 coverage (on YouTube), yesterday, all kinds of new
mind-boggling gadgets as usual but I was naturally drawn to "television",
SAMSUNG, LG, SONY, PANASONIC, you know?... It's clear these guys *are* building
the future, a future that is bound to come to down computer monitors, sooner
than later. We often talk about "Viewing conditions" and how it affects
perception? Well, seems televisions manufacturers are starting to incorporate
those ideas in "modern television", on the heel of all kinds of international
technology committees. It's no longer
'whatever-image-or-signal-that-comes-down-the- antenna', they're building
evermore sophisticated image processing on top of basic image handling
capabilities. It's not just "Ambient light compensation", it's analyzing the
image content and adjusting the rendering to "optimize" the visual experience.
Soon, they'll have cameras that take into account who's watching, a kid, a
teenager, a parent, a senior? Adjusting the image based on physiological
factors? It's only a matter of time before the Dell, the NECs, the Eizo, the
HPs and the rest soon start to offer a host of additional "smarts" that OS and
the better image processing apps, like Photoshop, will take advantage of. The
next years will be a fun ride.
