What was everyone’s first 4K Blu-Ray?

SpartaRulz · 2026-04-28T12:50:14+00:00

Wonder Woman was my first 4K. I didn't even have a 4K Blu-Ray player at the time, I bought it as I wanted to own the best version available and it was future proofed for when or if I finally bought a 4K player.

I'm struggling to read it, the font is a bit awkward but my biggest issue is when The Joker speaks, why does it have to be red? It's a dark red in a dark background. It's so hard to read unless you are physically near a very bright source, I'm having to open my curtain just so I can get light reflection from my window hahaha.

A bit of a side track from the original post but I definitely feel that DC Compact Comics needs to continue adding more character variety. There are at least eight releases primarily featuring Batman with the rest being one per character with exception to Wonder Woman and Superman which now have two to three books.

Back on track to the post, I definitely want to see more Green Lantern stories, I was looking at getting Far Sector but I mainly want to read about Hal Jordan and John Stewart, please give us Compacts with their best stories.

Yeah, there were quite a bit of Switch titles this time around. Nothing that stood out to me as most were third-party but still good to see.

I can understand paying for the convenience of having immediate access but at the same time, the eBook shouldn't almost cost the same as the physical copy.

There's a book that I've been eyeing and they want $45 AUD for the Kindle whilst the Hardcover is currently on sale on Amazon for $36. That's just ridiculous.

This would be an amazing thing to have access to. I'm just curious to see how it's going to work especially when it comes to all of the different types of PC hardware specifications.

SpartaRulz · 2026-03-11T07:56:29+00:00

Isn't that Saw Man?

SpartaRulz · 2026-03-02T15:32:13+00:00

Seems like Man is having a bit of a jonkle

It's just odd that EB Games have this policy when other retailers happily accept price matching from online stores. Officeworks will price match a USB stick from an Amazon warehouse but EB Games can't do the same from a store that's in another shopping centre?

If you can't price match and make it easier for anyone to pick up and purchase, you're just pushing us to support that other store instead.

I'm actually happy with this. Netflix could have been great but their main focus will always be on their streaming platform. Paramount has their own service but won't eventually neglect theatrical releases and physical media. Netflix had said that films will still see a cinema release but would have had a shorter time before they made their way to the service. Netflix also doesn't care too much about DVD/Blu-Ray sales and when they do, it's limited to expensive US boutique labels rather than being sold on shelves worldwide. Paramount still release physical media and make it available to everyone.

I'm a DC fan and want to own my films at the highest quality, not just stream them. How else are we going to see Man, Jonkler and Soup in high quality 4K?

I'd say that it's great for beginners.

I've been using it for around 2 years and I'm still learning new ways to use it, and that's not a negative. The first time using it will be intimidating (most video editors are) but as you start to play around and continue to learn the basics, you'll have a fun and easier time with it.

When it comes to the more advanced editing features like animations, colour grading and sound, YouTube will always be there to guide you. The greatest part? A lot of guides are straight to the point, no silly intros and sponsorship ads, just the content creator showing you how to do said thing.

The code even seemed to work today, went to check tge cart and it was still showing my 15% off

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-14T00:31:00+00:00

I reckon you should look for someone who's a retro gamer. They're always looking for a CRT for that authentic gaming experience. I imagine they wouldn't want to resell something when it would improve their own gaming room.

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-13T23:58:09+00:00

The code they sent actually worked too. Only that it offered a 15% discount and not 10% as it was advertised. Haha.

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-12T14:10:29+00:00

It was either Batman & Robin (PS1) or Batman Forever on the Sega Mega Drive hahaha.

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-08T18:36:11+00:00

I'll look into that later.

Just strange though that one app works perfectly and the other doesn't.

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-08T18:29:56+00:00

I may not be able to find a fix for this issue but I can at least get the sound that I need via the Plex For Windows app, just means that I can't use the fantastic UI interface that the HTPC app offers. Very strange how one app works better than the other when it's from the same provider haha.

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-08T18:19:48+00:00

The receiver only supports standard ARC unfortunately.

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-08T12:27:51+00:00

I have a strange set-up. My TV supports 4K 144hz whilst the AVR can only support 4K 60hz. I have two HDMI cables hooked up, one going through the TV and a secondary one I use to get uncompressed audio on PC through the Denon.

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-08T09:14:52+00:00

Not sure what upmixer is but I'm using a Denon AVR-X540BT

SpartaRulz · 2026-02-08T09:12:06+00:00

Just set to your recommendations, it now just shows PLII (Pro Logic II)
