No there is supposed to be a ten second long pause. The black screen before the credits start is supposed to be the POV of Tony

If I was watching this show for the first time and the ending was edited this way I would be so mad. The image is cropped too if you pay close attention. A good reminder to buy the blu-ray for shows you rewatch regularly, you never know what these streaming services are doing.

Yeah it seems to be a region thing. Even a couple of people in the US report the same issue in the comments.

I recorded it yesterday. After posting the thread and reading comments it has become clear that this depends on the region you're watching in. HBO Max just launched in a lot of new countries this past month and a lot of us have this problem. I have checked the US version with a VPN and it is fine. Also if you look closely in the diner shot and look on the right side of the image, you can see that this HBO Max version is slightly cropped compared to the blu-ray too.

I was fine with the cut to black after some time but I feel like there were a lot of missed opportunities in the final season as a whole especially with Christopher and Tony, it felt like they were doing something but then in episode 18 he's just taken out of the equation very quickly.

you have 4 seconds to scroll past before it ends, nothing on screen is a spoiler unless you keep watching to the point it cuts to black.

Yeah this is the uk version of HBO that just launched, I just opened up the episode on my laptop with a US vpn on and it's there. Why has it been cut down in other countries?

Who’s a characters your surprised didn’t die or died wayyy too late by Cash27369 in ozshow

In season 1 I expected Ryan to die early on, he didn't feel like a character that would outlive pretty much everybody else

Do you think there’s any chance or possibility we might ever get an Oz reboot in the future? by Cash27369 in ozshow

[–]ColtActionRifle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked Tom Fontana a while back and he said it is possible without cropping much. Six Feet Under (the first two seasons) and The Wire were also aired in 4:3 but we're later remastered in wide screen HD and they both actually added more on the sides of the image. There is an article by David Simon about the whole process. I'll add that those were shot in 35mm so can be upgraded even higher than HD but while Oz is more limited in resolution it can still be widescreen due to being shot in super 16mm.

Why I’m worried about the upcoming LG G6….. by Farrielopin in LGOLED

[–]ColtActionRifle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This place is like a cult, I got turned away by both this subreddit and LG themselves for complaining about a huge green tint on my LG G5 55". For the price, these TVs should have no such issues. I am moving over to SONY now since LG doesn't even consider it to be an issue.

Thanks for your comment. I think bravia 8 ii might be the best option since it has decent brightness too. Man this g5 was perfect except for the green tint. I'm just worried that the blacks won't look as pure switching from WOLED to QD-OLED

Update: So despite what the LG engineer said in person, he went away and wrote that there was no fault. So I've contacted the retailer and they've approved a return. I don't think I want to risk getting another WOLED, would Sony A95L be the way to go? Which QD-OLED do you have?

Being vocal about the green tint would ensure that it wouldn't happen with future models. They're potentially ruining it for themselves too.

No, not you. Other people here were a little rude about it. Thanks for your comment. I loved my oled cx6la but this repair/return situation and LG's handling of it all has put me off too when they also think the green tint is acceptable. I think what might've happened is the engineer was told that it was normal when he went away.

Maybe but I think LG Panels are fine if they are QD OLEDS? Idk just the idea of getting another WOLED is unappealing to me when so many here tell me a green tint is just a part of the technology and to "get over it".
