oh sorry, it doesnt handle it natively, but youd be transcoding anyway so it doesnt matter.

32" currently, probably going to go for a 40" soon

40" right before my bed (could touch it with feets), anything bigger would be unnecessary

>>136041611
I'm not "transcoding anyway".

I'm seriously considering just buying an old core2duo box and connecting it to my TV.

Build cheap PC, make a fixed connection to the TV.
Enjoy your 1080p h.265 animu.

>>136041285
Firestick with Plex here. Works just fine.

>>136041688
if youre even considering an htpc you should already be using plex/xbmc which transcode.

>>136041735
I don't want to transcode.
I already have a simple setup with my stuff on a samba server.
I just need a computer permanently connected to my TV.

i use a shitty c2d thinkpad from 2008 and it plays 10-bit 1080p fine

>>136041956
I had a 2.2GHz C2D from 2007 and it could handle 10bit 1080p and h265 720p. h265 1080p was too much for it though.

I just got an i3 Brix (5010U) that was on clearance, i'm still waiting on the RAM to arrive though.

Hopefully it'll have enough muscle to decode anime for the foreseeable future

>>136042163
Will anybody make 4k anime? Either as a 70mm or whatever old film or a new theatrical movie.
Otherwise you can use extra muscle on scaling and the like.

Well, animu is only at 24 FPS (and animated at even less), so you're not going to get any real benefit.

I sit 8' back in my Lay-Z-Boy reclining loveseat

>>136043435
Technically about 10' to where my head is to the screen

>>136043369
Yes, you do. The higher refresh rate makes everything smoother even when 24 fps is being rendered. Switching back to 60hz for me makes everything, even anime, "lag" behind until you get used to it again.

>>136043536
>Switching back to 60hz for me makes everything, even anime, "lag" behind
That's just because of dropped/repeated frames, or your video player is doing some sort of interpolation.
72 is better for watching videos than 60 because it's a multiple of 24. Each frame will be shown 3 times, instead of some being 3 and some being 2.

>>136043536
Anon I think what you are experiencing there is bad frame pacing. 60 is not an even multiple of 24, so there is no perfect way to present 24fps content on a 60hz display. Switch to a screen that's an even multiple of 24, like 48hz or 72hz, and it works fine.

Knew it. Worked that gig through college. 12 hour shifts in a building on your own at night. Never occurred to me to watch anime at work then, but my phone screen would likely have been too small for me to read subs comfortably regardless. Just slept, walked around, watched Youtube videos, and shitposted.

The best part is I can watch anime while laying down.
I haven't watched anime on a real screen since February.

Who unironically watch Anime on their phones like a bunch of spergy 13 year olds.

Although, knowing the current state of this website, I'm willing to be the vast majority of you are spergy 13 year olds anyway.

>>136047770
Why are people so salty about how others watch their anime? So far using the smartphone has worked out nicely, if you feel the need to only watch them on large screens or whatever that's fine

Because using a smartphone as your primary means of consuming media is an instant millennial red flag. Watching anime on your phone isn't inherently bad (although I do wonder about the practicalities and viewing experience), but the practice of doing so says a lot about you - unless of course you do it because you have absolutely no other choice.
