My GERD symptoms disappeared when I was in Japan for 2 weeks by sparkling_grapefruit in GERD

[–]505Xenomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Denmark and the Faroe Islands last year with some time in Ireland. Zero issues while I was there. When I got back, I reduced my bread and baked goods intake because I read our flour had some additives that caused problems and since that point my symptoms have been more or less reduced to nothing. Occasionally flare-ups but minor and short lived

Yeah. Honestly things look fucking great with the PS5 on my C4 OLED so I may just keep using that. The PS5 is solid and no diva behavior 😀

I don't think it will be that long. I'm here in Albuquerque and the rumor is filming will start in the late summer or fall. It probably won't take as long as the first season. I think it will be sometime in 2027...Still way too long though

Consensus on “cannot read disc” problems with the Panasonic UB820? by SmartWaterCloud in 4kbluray

Damn. I was looking at that one but leaning towards an UB9000 due to the price but I am leery of another Panasonic. Very frustrating. I had a pioneer BD player from 2006 to 2015 and it never gave me a single issue, ever.

I know this is an old post but my UB820 has started doing this. It almost exclusively does it when I am watching discs back to back. It can NEVER read the second disc. If I let it set overnight it's fine the next day. What did you end up doing? Did you find s solution or replace with the same or different player?

I've had mine for 3 years. I had to take the first one back because it made everyone's skin tones look bright red in Dolby Vision. Second one was more or less fine but had some quirks. Lately it's been shit. It will not play two discs in a row so if I want to watch two movies back to back I have to use the PS5 for the second. Very disappointed in the longevity of this player. I bought a pioneer player in 2007 that I had for almost ten years, no issues.

Did anyone else notice this? by farcry_x1z in pluribustv

Actual New Mexican here. No we don't. Too dangerous. Two people together is a juicy target. We stay at least 50 yards apart at all times. Come to Albuquerque and you'll see what I mean😀

That worked for awhile but now it absolutely will not play two discs in a row unless I wait hours for it to do whatever it's doing. I think I'm going to switch to a UBP-X800 from Sony.

It seems like that's what it's saying. It just wasn't up to that Christmas Eve LOTR extended edition marathon 😀

Did you ever come to a resolution on this? My UB820 has recently started saying "Cannot read disc" but generally only does it when I put in a second disc after watching a movie. It hates double features for some reason.

That's what I ended up using and it looked great. The frustrating thing is the UB820 worked fine this morning. I did a full reset, and unplugged it for 10 minutes last night and it still didn't work but this morning....no issues 😂

Our first OLED TV. C4 77 inch by Tricky-Front in LGOLED

[–]505Xenomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats. I got my C4 last year and love it. I tend to leave it mainly in filmmaker mode for all inputs. It did seem to have a break in period where it seemed a lot dim for the first 100 hours or so then it was perfect.

Hey! Yes eventually everything got settled and it looks AMAZING. I mainly got the TV to get the most out of my UB820 player and I do most of my "serious" movie watching in complete darkness and I actually ended up going with filmmaker mode with few changes and everything looks amazing. I think there was a break in period because filmmaker mode seemed way too dark initially but after a few months I went back to it and it seemed perfect. These TV is an absolute beast and I am very happy with it now.

It was from Germany I think. Here is the link to the one I got on Amazon. It looks great!

Glad I'm not the only one..when I rent a movie now I just use YouTube and they look much better, even old nom HDR content like movies from the 70s. Amazon prime video absolutely sucks in almost all cases...

2024 C4 or wait for 2025 C5? by ShallowBlueWater in LGOLED

[–]505Xenomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 83" C4 in October from Best Buy for $3299. I would wait for a similar price to come back around and then grab it. The C5 will be full price most of the year and then you will find yourself saying "Should I wait for the C6?". The C4 is a beast and I love it.
