    Press Release Criterion Press Release: Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022) (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    Missed its very limited theatrical run here in Indianapolis; very excited to see this. Now, if Criterion would only procure from Netflix Paolo Sorrentino's The Hand Of God.

    General Discussion YouTube TV suddenly not looking high-def.

    Thanks, I found the problem. Somehow the HD menu on my Hisense got reset to auto.

    General Discussion YouTube TV suddenly not looking high-def.

    YouTube TV is suddenly not looking high-def on my 4K display. All my other streamers--Tubi, Paramount, Pluto, etc.--look fine. Is there something I can check?

    Best soundbar?

    I've seen a writeup on the Sonos Beam, which I'd never heard of. Sounds intriguing. I bought my first 4K display last year--a Hisense U8G. My aging soundbar, however, besides lacking Atmos, seems to be losing some tracks, as they sound like they're coming from the faint background. I don't...

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

    I'm seriously tempted to bypass a library rental and blind buy this UHD. I just bought my 4K display last year; problem is, my sound bar is years old and not Dolby Atmos capable--in fact, some channels of sound irritatingly disappear into the background. To complicate matters, I'm completely...

    Blu-ray Review The Tales of Hoffmann Blu-ray Review

    Been saving gift cards for this! Today at B&N I pick up The Red Shoes on UHD and Tales of Hoffman blu. Just read this article https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/4091-a-visit-to-the-nitrate-picture-show and wish I lived in a place where I can experience these masterworks on a large...

    Sofia Coppola's On the Rocks - DVD/blu status?

    Thanks so much for reminding me of this! I'd almost completely forgotten about it in recent months. I checked my library--they have blus in circulation so I put one on hold; nice to know Amazon has a good price if I wish it buy afterwards. Thanks again! 😎

    Mitsubishi DLP to Hisense ULED

    I got my Mitsubishi WD-60630 Black Friday weekend 2010--11 years ago. I've only replaced the lamp once. It has continued to perform well until about a week ago it developed a dead spot. The timing actually works out well, as I've been price tracking the 65" Hisense U8G and have targeted...

    Are High-End Monitors Still Worth It?

    Hi, Clinton. I'm about to swap out my 11 year old Mitsubishi DLP. After much time reading reviews and consumer feedback, I'm honing in on the Hisense U8G. I'm anxious to hear what you think of it. The only few consistent negatives I read are ghosting and stutter, but most never mention these...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) -- in 4k UHD

    Speaking of "bodies", I'd take a UHD of The Unbearable Lightness Of Being 😉--but Body Snatchers will do in the meantime.😎

    Flash drive for in car audio--unwanted song shuffle?

    As my new 2020 Kia Sportage has no CD player, I'm now learning how to transfer music from compact disc to USB drive. But I've noticed that when I play in the car, the tracks on any particular album are getting rearranged and played back in alphabetical order by song title. I couldn't find...

    Weekly RoundUp 7-20-2021

    I just picked up La Piscine from my library today, three days before it even hits stores; if I like it I'll get before the B&N sale ends. Bluray.com wasn't kind on the IQ. Too bad.

    I have the Zeitgeist DVD which I found at Half Price Books. Looking forward to the upgrade! In related news--it was reported last month that Assayas is working on his own remake of Irma Vep, to be an HBO limited series and starring Alicia Vikander.

    LG to unveil first QNED Mini LED TVs at virtual CES

    LOL to the first part of your answer. My current main display is a last-generation Mitsubishi DLP, now 10 years old. I've replaced the lamp in it once; it still performs quite well. I love it--but I know I'll eventually be upgrading. Thankfully, I can already find awesome looking (to my...

    The question I keep asking is, when will advancements in video display technology surpass the ability of the healthy human eye to discern any difference?
