This is an interesting proposition while holding out for OLED monitors (still too worried about burn-in). So instead of going low-brightness and infinite contrast (OLED), you can go high-brightness (HDR1000 mini-led), yes with blooming around your cursor, but for gaming / media consumption it could be pretty good. Especially at that price. Though I suspect $500 translates to £700 lol…
Looks great! I wonder if this could be used to create some kind of podcast-based sponsorblock equivalent? I know there are issues with podcast- (providers) inserting sponsor reads and ads at random / unknown times, so, not sure how it could be done reliably.
