Stupidity

It's like me demanding grocery stores remove peanut butter from their shelves because I don't like it.

the US is heading in that direction in many ways.

I can understand that, because peanut allergies are so common, and kids like to share food.

Looks like Black Panther will be released on blu-ray on May 15th.

 

[slynger]

Can someone here point me to a site where they do thorough reviews of blu/4k players? I’m looking for a good one, but I don’t need to spend a fortune.

 

[matticus]

Not liking any Panther covers so far.

iTunes Australia currently has the Dark Knight Trilogy and Abrams Star Trek trilogy for $A25 apiece, and Ghostbusters 1 & 2 for $A15 the set.

Of these, STID and GB2 are the only ones not in 4K, but they will probably be upgraded in future.

The pro's: Apple is currently upgrading to the next generation of resolution for free, so you should be covered for 8K and above.

The con's: The 4K versions are currently streaming-only, but you can still download 1080p and below.

Too true. I ordered the Zavvi one, but I hope it does make a release in the US.

Zavvi isn't going to carry a 3D steelbook?

Zavvi isn't going to carry a 3D steelbook?

Not that I've seen in the last 2 weeks. Seems like they only have 4K, regular, and 3D.

Hands down BEST live demo the industry has EVER put out to the public no words can describe how awesome, authentic and customer friendly this is.

Hats off to Vizio.

By the way first impressions were that it hit 90% of OLED’s blacks while beating it in the brightness dept with a proposed 2000 nit level at much lower costs than an OLED which is the key.

Only size available for their Quantum line is 65” so that’s something to keep in mind.

Very informative demo

jye....did you see the roll up screen that LG has coming?

 

[jye4ever]

Yup totally nuts.

That will pretty much kill the projector market once the screen gets up to 120 inches.

No need for a projector it will have perfect OLED blacks all in one roll up.

Ready Player One Zavvi 3D steelbook is up for pre-order.

How has Zavvi been recently with shipping?

How has Zavvi been recently with shipping?

I've never been charged more than 2.99£, but they occasionally do free shipping on steelbooks.
