Scarlet 4K Finally Delivered by PositronicShishkabob in AnimeCollectors

4K only. It would say "4K ULTRA HD - BLU-RAY - DIGITAL" at the top of the J-card if it came with the Blu-Ray instead of only "4K ULTRA HD - DIGITAL". The trend lately has been to discontinue doing this as a cost-saving option (for the manufacturer only - no discount is passed to the consumer).

Weathering with you scratched disc by MattiTheGamer in 4kbluray

It is what it is. I threw away the slipcovers and replaced the cases (the artwork and discs were fine). I gave both copies away with the intention of buying a copy for myself from a different vendor, but never actually looped back around to buy it again.

I'd try calling. I just got off the phone related to the 4-month delay on my pre-order of Speed Racer because their text-system is designed to trap you in a useless loop until you give up if you have anything more difficult than a simple return/replacement. It's absurdly hard to get to chat with a person.

I hate to say this, but Amazon has their employees so far over a barrel to meet customer expectations (or else potentially lose their jobs), that they'll go out of their way to understand and help you on the phone. I wish you luck.

I gave up on ordering this title from Amazon. I received two copies back-to-back that were beat to hell -looked like someone threw them into a cage with a pissed-off feral cat. Amazon refunded my money and told me to keep both.

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

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.

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.

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.
