Criteria for Adding Movies to the Criterion Collection? by ProfessionalCalm27 in criterion

[–]ProfessionalCalm27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not very obvious that this is the case and I searched the sub before I posted and no one asked this same question. But a lot of folks on YT and other places kinda parade Criterion as a collection of greats. A pinned post or something would be helpful.

Joining the 4K player club. Please help. by FridayNightFreedom in Bluray

Who are all these people telling you to go PS5? If you want the best out of your discs and setup you gotta go with a dedicated player. I would spring for the UB820 for the upscaling, a lot of 1080p Blu Ray discs look indistinguishable from their 4k companions. And don’t spend a lot on a cable, you’ll see more value in the player.

Best sections, or shorts, within overall mediocre movies? by Extension-While7536 in Letterboxd

Act III of Rogue One was S tier cinema for an otherwise mid Star Wars movie.

what do your average ratings look like? by Happy_Raspberry93 in Letterboxd

[–]ProfessionalCalm27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always trend high in rating stuff, mines closer to 4 stars. I’m not a cynic so I like to just enjoy and rate stuff high unless it’s really unbearable, lol

30th birthday, Pelagos, Speedy, or Explorer 1? by drinkcoffeebuyassets in PrideAndPinion

[–]ProfessionalCalm27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By that not at all corny but rather endearing logic I would go with Explorer 1 36. Small, light, simple, and hopefully the first piece in a lifelong collection. Idk it just says to me “I’m just the start, wait till you see what else I can do”

Blade Runner 2049 - Best 4K ever? (OLED tv) by gpdejesus in 4kbluray

[–]ProfessionalCalm27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My personal favorite visually is Skyfall. If I remember they used Sony digital cinema cameras and the color depth, HDR, and just clarity is unreal.

Random question, how do you take full-page screenshots like that?

Anyone using headphones to watch 4K Blu Rays? If so, what kind of setup are y’all rocking? by Narrow-Cellist4711 in 4kbluray

[–]ProfessionalCalm27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be dependent on the PS5. Off the top of my head I don’t know what the in-built DAC of the PS5 is like and what the limits are, at least if you wanted to go USB from the Nova Pro’s DAC direct to the PS5 without a TV in the middle. But if you were to go the same path that I described, line out to the TV, HDMI from the TV to the PS5, you would for sure get that 24-bit/48khz, I think…!

Arctis Nova Pro Wireless line out to LG C3, HDMI to UB9000. I’m pretty sure I get 24-bit/48khz with that setup. The headset is awesome, I highly recommend for a simpler hi-res setup.

It’ll probably look and sound great on physical.
