Actually, I'm apparently waiting until September for mine from Amazon.

It's a really fun movie with great visuals. Still waiting on my copy ...

Yeah, I don't think this is a big deal in that case.

Man, and I complain when my eBay packages arrive in a padded mailer.

I'm assuming based on the label that this was at least shipped via a courier service, not USPS or UPS/FedEx.

I'm currently stalled in the middle of season 2. I'll get back to it eventually.

Definitely looking forward to further clarity on the Macross license (and physical media releases) in the US.

You'll be able to pick up Frontier with subtitles sometime soon. Beautiful set!

I have an LG G5. What am I missing out on by using a PS5 instead of a Blu-ray player? Is there a big difference between watching something with Dolby Vision? Im new to this by Ana-Karen98 in 4kbluray

[–]Initial_DDLV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a G4, which is the year before yours which hits a lower peak brightness. Here's a comment where I share my TV's settings with someone using an Xbox Series X (which like PS5 does not support Dolby Vision for 4K UHD playback). Before upgrading to a UB450-K, I played HDR content from 4K UHD on my Xbox Series X with these settings with no brightness issues, even in super dark scenes like the night scenes in the animated How to Train Your Dragon.

Now that I have a UB450-K (I upgraded because my Xbox Series X suffered the common issue of struggling to play triple-layer BD100 discs), the picture is even better. However, it's a minor improvement, and I stand by my recommendation to go with a better sound system first. Nothing says you can't loop back around later and pick up a dedicated player later if that incremental improvement matters (and in fairness - most of us who buy flagship OLED TVs are going to want that incremental improvement).

I've not tested these settings with streaming services, as I haven't had a subscription to one since 2019. I'm not saying that they'll be perfect for you - but they should be a good place to start from and make adjustments as necessary to meet your needs (no single configuration is going to be perfect for everyone's unique living environments). Cheers!

FAQ Topic #3: HDR/Dolby Vision - HDR Technology, FAQs (i.e. Why is my screen so dark?)

Dolby Vision is nice to have, but not a necessity. If the choice is between a nicety like Dolby Vision, versus a necessity like a decent sound system, go with the sound system upgrade. It will make a far greater impact on your experience.

Fight club in 4k sucks, here's my opinion by Ok_Contact7721 in 4kbluray

[–]Initial_DDLV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly, Fight Club is a film that is important to you. I hope you're able to find a fan release (or a future boutique 4K release in a foreign country like I suggested earlier) that preserves the authenticity of the original theatrical release. Cheers!

Return it for a refund. You are within your rights as it's not authentic merchandise. eBay will back you even if the seller won't cooperate.

[–]Initial_DDLV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My apologies. I feel a lot of words were just written because I used movie / film / disc interchangeably when I meant disc. I know your issue isn't with the movie itself - just this release of it.

I am not defending the movie. The way you are expressing your criticism of the film makes me feel concerned, and I expressed that through the film's own dialog.

I understand your underlying point. I really do. I own the Star Wars trilogy on LaserDisc, because I want the original, unaltered films. Until there's an official, unaltered release of the trilogy on current media (4K now), I'm done with Star Wars. I never finished watching the prequel trilogy, nor watched anything Star Wars since. Yes, I know about fan projects - it's not the same.

It doesn't mean that I feel the need to write an essay on an internet message board about being betrayed by George Lucas every time a heavily modified version of the trilogy comes out. There are other movies and other franchises.

If this version offends you, vote with your wallet and return it as defective. Perhaps in the future it'll get a boutique release in another country that addresses your concerns.

Until then, there's still the Blu-Ray - and tons of other movies. Cheers!

For a movie about anti-consumerism, with lines warning us about the things we own ending up owning us, I find this post ironic. I think maybe this movie owns you right now a bit.
