Why would I ever want this.
-
generally speaking, its more valuable if the cost of electricity used is lower than the cost of getting better internet (e.g living in the bumfuck no where).
say if your isp gives you a 250gb cap and costs 50$ per 250gb (just throwing out numbers), it might make sense to use less data in the stream quality, and upscale it to a higher resolution using GPU as a cost saving measure.

In a world where 4k is the dominant resolution. I find it hard to see a use case for this. I don't have an 8k TV no one I know does either.
-
4k is not the dominant resolution for some media like twitch streams. There are also lots of people who still don't have Internet fast enough to stream native 4k. It could help with older YouTube videos, as well.
-
I need to look for the statistics again but most media is still served at 1080p. If you look at the most popular YouTubers however the skew is towards 4k because Google wants to tout that number, however the bitrate is comparable to 20mbit 1080p
-
After I made the comment I thought about all of those old 360p videos on YouTube. If it can make those look better then I can see the appeal.

From the demo it seems to help make SDR hardware show more clarity for HDR scenes.

The world is such a a shitty place because so many people are certain their anecdotal experiences are the way the world is.

Woah check out the rich guy with nothing but 4K panels.. can we party at your house? You know, since you’re so fucken loaded?

I'd never let you poors stink up my mansion.

The comments are the exact reason why we can't have nice things. Isn't it a nice thing companies bring support of any technology to Firefox?
No, of course not. Firefox should just remain the same as it is now and never change with the times.
