The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

Maybe HDR10++++ and one more + just to be safe

Announcements I now fully expect to hear at CES:

1. Dolby Vision is being phased out
2. TCL 6 Series discontinued and immediately pulled from shelves
3. BB no longer accepting returns on any players

lol

 

[jye4ever]

Holy crap

Can you imagine if TCL adds 3D and 120 to their new 7 series and only goes up to $700!

Can you imagine just how fast jye will return his 6 series lol

 

[Wor-Gar]

Did someone say 3D is back!!!!????

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah no wishful thinking.

Yet they keep making 3D 4K players

 

[Wor-Gar]

4k 3D... for a screen so real, you'll want to hump it.

 

[jye4ever]

Can you imagine 8K 3D

 

[Wor-Gar]

I honestly can't.

At some point it will look so real, it won't look good anymore.

Then retroists will be like: Hey man, 1990's DVD is the only true video supplement.

 

[Khev]

Yeah I was surprised to see that my new 2018 4K player still runs 3D blu-rays?? Why? Does Sony know something we don't?

 

[Wor-Gar]

You got the new Sony 4k player? How is it?

I never did get a 75" screen this X-mas... but I continue to desire it.

 

[Khev]

Well it has almost universal praise online and jye recommended it but as far as me testing it out that won't officially happen until February when I actually get a 4K TV, lol.

 

[jye4ever]

That’s it companies are coming out swinging pre CES!

Samsung’s 8k has been independently measured putting out 4,300 nits

Does that come with a sunburn lol

The Q9 can do around 3,200 nits if i’m not mistaken which is already insane can you imagine another 1,000 ontop of that.

Kvev also don’t get confused with a tv that has a 120 refresh rate and and one that can display a 120fps video at 4k.

The 4K/120 and 8k/60 capability will be one of the big selling points to usher in 8k because it requires HDMI standard 2.1 which no 2018 has that can actually be utilized not even the super expensive Q9 or LG OLEDs. Maybe they have certain functionalities of 2.1 but not the main important one.

We can finally watch Hobbit at 4K at 120fps (HFR)

I think Avatar 2 might go that way as well.

Maybe i’ll watch a full 120fps of Die Hard lol

 

[jye4ever]

Industry experts have announced that the electronic companies have started work on 10K displays

8K is dead before it even started lol

Evil people they are

Interesting though it won’t be a doubling to 16 then good to know actually.

 

[Khev]

Nothing about a 3D home resurgence yet? I wonder if they're saving that for the new Avatar flicks.

I'm right there with you on this.

What setups do you guys have right now?

 

[Neal136]

What setups do you guys have right now?

I currently have a 55" Samsung UHD ... but I want something bigger and better. I don't feel like I'm getting the full 4K experience with my current set.

 

[Khev]

Ha, 55 inch 4K is where I'm headed, lol. I figure after 5 years with my 48 inch Samsung 1080p 3D that a bigger screen with marvelous HDR should wow me well enough for the next 2-3 years at least.

But yeah whenever I see those 70-80 inch screens at Best Buy all I can ever think is "some day...."

 

[jye4ever]

I have an 80”

in my bedroom



But my wife has to settle for a 10” while in the bedroom.

 

[Khev]

How do you find any joy in adding a lowly TCL to your collection, lol.
