Modern TV's suck - Episode: Overscan, why? (1080p)

- I get the year close, this OLED I'm demonstrating this crap with is made in 2021. And it still has OVERSCAN when there really is no reason to, among other image worsening features, such as "(digital) noise reduction" and "motion interpolation". That crap is best turned off. All of it. 4% loss is quite significant, especially since the CRT safe limits aren't taken into account anymore. The only two flaws of CRT's really, weight and overscan, otherwise they're great. 4K CRT's when? We have HD CRT's already. Make CRT's great again.
And for those wondering, that's the German 2014 3L release of Super Snooper (Der Supercop in German land, Poliziotto Superpiù in Italian land) on DVD.
I like modern screen tech, it has the potential to look really good, but too bad every manufacturer needs to add terrible post-processing to ruin the image. At least my CRT doesn't intentionally mess with my picture with stupid options I have to turn off.
Basically that. The source material itself dictates the quality whether it's good or bad, the TV / monitor just displays it as-is. Just gotta have great settings - ditch sharpness, motion interpolation, noise reduction, possible overscan, adjust brightness, contrast and color, the works. But yeh, CRT's mostly don't have crap you need to turn off and that's one reason they are a great choice for something.
Good points. What really bugs me about modern TVs: What ze hell happened to PIP? For a few minutes in the '90s every other TV had some kind of Picture-In-Picture ability. I loved being able to half-watch a show and half play a game at the same time. Nowadays if you want 2 screens simultaneously you have to have 2 devices running. Boo. BTW, how do ye like OLED? Haven't bought one yet cuz I still hear conflicting info about static images causing burn-in.
Not gonna lie here, I've used a 16:9 CRT that had PIP. With size you could change or split the screen with two sources (yee a program and a games machine for example). Alternately you could split it with program image and teletext (who remembers that, wait that wasn't a thing in the US). Then that nice TV was changed to that OLED which thus isn't exactly mine but I've been forced to take a look at it when people are having issues plus I used it to this video demonstration here. Anecdote follows. After you make sure the settings are fine (image worsenings all off, sharpness middle or off, great brightness and stuff) you can watch at least things if you have nothing else to do it with, though if it's not 4K one is watching it's gonna suck at least a bit - don't know about gaming on one, I have nothing I can hook up to that as it only takes HDMI, the speakers are pretty bad as per slim TV usual (unlike in CRT televisions), the remote sucks with its analogue stick like buttons that have multiple features crammed to one button (it's like as if your PS2 controller had left analogue stick forward and backwards for volume, pressed down for mute, longer press down for hearing aid options, you gotta think it like that, peoples here have trouble understanding that remote, but a few buttons are like that), and if I'm not mistaken that thing no matter what changes brightness a tiny bit depending on what is seen despite me turning that feature off. Or it's the player doing it that's connected to it. I have no idea. But it's annoying as well. (I had a few TV's that did that automagic brightness change while I was working at a recycling center (not garbage recycling) and it was annoying to look at without a way to turn it off, damn LG.) Also, that OLED TV was bought new around 2 years ago and it worked for about one and a half years before something broke down inside and made the TV do the following: screen gets partly off and the rest melts off and device turns off and back on again, displays fine for like 2 seconds, rinse and repeat. It had to be repaired. Meanwhile, my CRT I still use? It's been going for 20 or so years just fine. No wonder businesses hate me as they don't get profits from me. (Seriously, that CRT actually lasted a few years when something broke inside it and prevented the usage overall, but my father fixed that TV and it has been going on to this day, that TV. And he wonders why I insist on using it with everything even these days and would rather want me to use those LCD craps. Amusing. True story, really. I swear (as in promise).)
