    Where's Obi (off topic)

    Hey guys, Yes, I'm still kicking. Physically, doing "ok", not great much of the time but not bad. My transplant team tells me I'm progressing at least as good, if not better than most. All I can say is I find myself coming to terms with a new "normal". though my doctors tell me to expect...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - True Lies -- in 4k UHD

    Against my better judgement, I'm going to weigh in on this because the amount of electrons wasted on this is, well, expected. So, I've been reading Josh Zyber since the beginning of time. I like him. He's a smart guy who loves this hobby as much as any and I find his comments on these discs...

    Custom Cover Year Of The Dragon

    Sorry man, that site is defunct and I'm sure that file was not something I would have kept. The Blu-ray was released in the US several years ago but I am a long was from home so I can't help you with that either.

    Thanks for the good wishes guys. It goes a long way when I'm a long way from home. It also reminds what makes this the best forum on the 'net. It's the people.

    Where's Obi (off topic)

    Hey guys. Apologies for radio silence, but the past several weeks have been..."interesting". First, the good part. I am indeed 4 weeks post op for a very successful heart transplant. I had one of the top surgeons in the country, lured away from Duke University by Mayo in Jacksonville. I was...

    Where's Obi (off topic)

    Thanks for the good wishes, Ron. "Mix of emotions", you have no idea. I'm not ashamed to say I have probably cried more tears in the last 10 months than my entire life. But, it's time to move on. I'm being given a chance at a second life and I will enjoy it. Hey, I will now get two...

    Thanks Crawdaddy. But I have to say, luck is not a factor. Pure science, and some very smart and talented people.

    Where's Obi (off topic)

    Apologies for the off-topic post, but I figure most of the people I remember and still remember me, would be looking at this section. So, I have thought about whether or not to post this for many weeks, not for sympathy mind you, but just to let some old friends know about the journey I have...

    Last of the Dogmen

    While a rarely post anymore there rare instances of a topic that has inspired me to share a thought or refection. Kino Lorber's new Blu-ray edition of Last of the Dogmen is such a topic. As I have not seen a thread for this recent release from Kino Lorber (surprisingly), I will share a post I...

    First Impressions - LG OLED83C1

    If one saw an earlier thread I posted asking for comments on non-OLED TVs above 80", you will see that my thought process rapidly evolved from non-OLED to OLED. The reason boiled down to one simple thing. The TV I have been using was the Sony X950H, fully calibrated. For those unfamiliar...

    Best Non-OLED above 80" - Replacing Sony

    Pick up last night (early!). Have a buddy coming over after work to help hang it. Been a long time since I posted anything like a review of anything, but maybe a few comments this weekend.

    Best Non-OLED above 80" - Replacing Sony

    I opted for the LG 83 C1. Ordered from Best Buy today. Thanks for the conversation.

    Best Non-OLED above 80" - Replacing Sony

    I have a Sony 85" now. X950H I paid $4k for when it first came out. Great TV, for what it is. Budget is always a factor, but it is relative. Like I said, I dropped 4K on the Sony and have never suffered from buyer's remorse. The LG 83" OLED is a grand more (on sale) and is slightly smaller...

    Best Non-OLED above 80" - Replacing Sony

    Yeah, I'm still around. Just doing more watching rather than posting, as was my plan when I got to this age ;). But, I don't really need an answer now. I made the mistake of putting a 65" LG A1 in my bedroom. Now I just have to try to afford a 83 OLED for the living room.
