Well, AMD better not screw up the launch... Having a range of core counts being launched at the same time will be quite good actually

Yay, WAN show! Just in time for when I woke up

He was actually pretty cool. Tiny bit of being annoying.

I seriously can't stand the guy after some promo video (at least) he did couple of year(s) back - he's a sellout

 

[Trevor87]

  The video does lag in some bits of the video but over all not bad video

It'd be really good if you could add the sponsor links to the YouTube description... especially with something like symless not being spelt like the actual English word seamless...

 

Sadly watching live from the UK isn't exactly viable for getting the link in the chat.

4K at 65 inches is way too big. With 4K, you are really bumping up against the limits when you reach around 40 inches.
 At 77 inches, you are pretty much looking at 8K resolution minimum to experience a decent image without the screen door effect.

[reflector36]

Synergy link didnt work either. Here i am "OOOOHHH a discount for something i could use"  DENIED

How close are you sitting to your TV that 77" 4k is not enough

A good seating distance for a TV, is probably in the range of 5-8 feet.

 

The 8K 32 inch display is that they talked about, is close to the sweet spot, with probably 28 inch being about right for a display.

[Razor512]

So from that, we really will need a minimum of 8K for a 65-77 inch TV, though we really need to start pushing for 16K. For example, an 80 inch 16K display at a 6 foot seating distance, would offer a decent viewing experience, with minimal screen door.

Edge doesn't provide its source code to the users, making them unable to audit it and/or make any modifications they desire.

I'm new to the forum. What is the best way for my comments to be read by actual staff? I'm hoping commenting to the most recent post I could find is a good start. Furthermore, is it possible to upload picture files in the forum?

I'm not sure what limits you're bumping up against. 40 inches is about as small as commercial 4K TVs come. And what is the "8K resolution minimum" about? 8K is literally the maximum resolution of any TV on the planet. They also don't come in 77 inches.

Hey guys, sorry about that little hiccup we had with the discount link, all working now!

[ALjungdahl]

@Symless_Dan@LinusTech @nicklmg @CPotter

 

I can't get the link to work, could you please help me with this? I'm very interested in buying this product.

I use this link:

Hey @ALjungdahl, 

 

Looks like you were hitting a cached version of the promo page. I've run a flush on it and it will work for you now
