You bring up a point I didn't think of, nor do I think was mentioned in reviews....

What happens when the console uses Dynamic Resolution Scaling? We know the cable doesn't work if the source and display aren't matched, how does the DRS work? Will the cable see it and flip out?

I think the cable would still see a 1080p signal coming from the console. The game is just internally changing it's resolution.

Would like to know more about what exactly the DSP is doing. If it was half the price, if they had a DisplayPort version, and if they had a DSP on/off switch, I would get one.

Forcing FXAA is useless 99% of the time.

They actually do, but not in this sense. A large percentage of them are wannabe graphics whores which is really sad, and all they really care about are animations and facial detail, and to a lesser extent colorful environments.

Plenty of games not supporting AA, or only having AA that either looks bad or costs too much fps
And injecting AA through Nvidia inspector isn't you're average gamers thing
Nor is running custom shaders

How about gaming at 4k with AA at no fps cost?

And most importantly
Show me how to upgrade my PS4 pro with a better GPU please

Changing the color palette and oversharpening features doesn't seem like the best way to upgrade a console with 4K HDR support (albeit chekerboarded and upscaled).

Of course, there are people who've always used SweetFX with settings that did nothing more than oversaturate every single shade and said it looked much better. To some people, oversaturation and artificial edge enhancement looks great, but I find it hard to call it an upgrade. Technically speaking, it's the opposite.

One of the resolutions that Linus tested the cable with was 4K....

That is completely false. My GPU is pretty much as good as it gets, but even with my former GTX 1080 I was running just about every game I play on max settings. The aliasing is still horrendous in modern games at 1440p on max detail. Most of them use the laziest, least effective anti-aliasing there is, namely MLAA/SMAA/FXAA.

Been using a 49" 4k 10bit ips freesync for 2 years now. You can get a 55" and 65" 3d freesync also if you wanted. There is nothing litchy about the freesync. The freesync logo just means you had it validated by amd so you can put the freeaync logo on the box. This monitor has been the sole reason ive been using amd cards past 2 years, an experience not possible with nvidia. Biggest 4k gsync is 32", with nothing on the horizon

You could have used the money to get a better CPU, and thus better frames.

Are you sure that's what you're replying to is the right quote?
Because he says it's all cranked up to max and can still see jagged lines

Or that games use inferior AA settings

Also you're saying CPU?
Typo?
Since AA is GPU bound?

That is pretty good range. Is there anything in ~ 40" size with that VRR Window?

I presumed he was joking by presenting the one scenario in which what I said is more or less untrue, so I presented the one scenario in which what I said was true once again (which is equally subjective in terms validity -- not very)

This, that post is all around bizarre. He also said better frames, in a discussion about aliasing.

Let me say it in an even simpler manner: The vast majority of games today are incredibly aliased on max settings, so this cable could be helpful for them. Forcing SMAA/FXAA doesn't really help (they are highly ineffective forms of AA), but you can do that and use this cable at the same time.

The stock range is 40-60hz but i lowered

http://www.ebay.com/itm/322459556126

Thats the same screen just 43". There's also a UHD400 which is same screen but 40", but i can't seem to find it. Lg has a 43" with freesync but im unsure how low the range can go
