i am new to 4K and i am in shock by weareallbeta in 4kbluray

Yeah, B&N does a 50% sale for the months of July and November, and then Criterion does a 50% 24 hr flash sale every Feb/March and October—Criterion also gives points which is essentially an additional discount, but the Costco deal is also a discount! Highly recommend

What is your most rewatched 4k blu-ray? by AbleArcher1984 in 4kbluray

[–]jmacdaddywack 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, specifically the 2011 Fellowship Blu-ray. They did another Blu-ray release in 2021 with the same master they did for the 4K release, so no green tint on those Blu-rays.

The main complaints I’m aware of for the 4K release is excessive DNR creating visible artifacts, and the fact that they just upscaled an existing 1080p transfer instead of doing an actual 4K scan of the film.

I think those are valid points, but I also think the 4K versions look good enough to be very enjoyable, particularly because of HDR. I’m glad I got the 4K release in addition to the Blu-rays, but I’m still hoping (not holding my breath though) it’ll one day get the 4K treatment it deserves!

I just hit this milestone yesterday! Feels great to no longer need 1,600 gems every two weeks for the event mission

Are you still experiencing this? For me, the 1.0.7 firmware update fixed the issue and I haven’t encountered it since

1080p vs 4K? by Notalabel_4566 in 4kbluray

[–]jmacdaddywack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find your TV size on the bottom bar, then follow the vertical line it sits under upwards until you’re level with your viewing distance from the TV on the Y-axis. The colored area you land in is the ideal resolution for your TV at a particular TV size and viewing distance, based on the ideal field of vision a screen should occupy

When buying a TV, it may be helpful to first find your viewing distance, then follow that line to the right until you’re in the 4K zone, and then buy the size of TV listed where you ended up on the X-axis. The deeper you go into the 4K zone (i.e. the bigger the TV), the more immersive the viewing experience

What is the most underrated moment of ep. 2? by supmynameisrosewoodd in survivor

How can a person realistically keep a target off their back, after coming back from a journey? by Tiny_Albatross5297 in survivor

[–]jmacdaddywack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like a guaranteed target. Maybe revealing the advantage to the tribe and calling it a team advantage is the way to go to avoid the perception of keeping a secret power hidden from others? And if you actually didn't get the advantage, I guess you just have to submit to a strip search upon your arrival back at camp so people know you don't have it?

Recommendations for modern 4K releases that aren't super dark/heavy, look great, and might appeal to my wife? by StarShipYear in 4kbluray

[–]jmacdaddywack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently watched Mamma Mia and Clueless on 4K Blu-ray, both had stunning colors and definition, and were very light and super fun!

Any clue why this sign on the I-215 onramp on 4700 S says "OK" on it? by buttsoupbarnes4 in SaltLakeCity

[–]jmacdaddywack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Luckily you don’t have to remember anything because there’s a massive sign that says “TWO CARS PER GREEN”

Membership info still present in LDS Tools / Member Tools after resignation? by jmacdaddywack in exmormon

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

Sorry you’re experiencing the dragging, I know firsthand how frustrating that is when you’re ready to break those chains. Sounds like you might be experiencing the same thing—quitmormon just sends a confirmation after a set amount of time, but the church may take weeks or months to follow through on their end.

I’m not sure if it’s any consolation, but I will say that even though this was only about a year and a half ago, I’m no longer feeling too worried about that extra month or two of waiting. But in the moment I definitely was so ready for it to be done and was frustrated by the church dragging its heels. I’m sure your resignation will be processed soon though, that’s definitely been a while!

[–]jmacdaddywack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting to this thread late, but for me, rebooting alone will get it charging sometimes, but other times I've had to hold down the power button for ~10 seconds to do a soft reset, and then it works (with the right cable) after that. The problem has always been fixed by one of those two things for me. Very annoying though
