Flip Wilson, politically correct.

I agree with you on BP. 90%+ of the time there can be a legitimate debate about BP. Your own quote from Jaws is a great example. I like it better than the winner that year, OFOTCCN, but The Wizard of Oz lost too. Sometimes great films lose to other great films. But Shakespeare in Love? In that...

I don't totally disagree with you, but the Academy appears to be more about promotion of the industry than recognition of artistic achievement. Your quote from Jaws is ironic given what happened to Mr. Spielberg when Mr. Weinstein out promoted him and won the best picture award. In fairness...

Barrymore's performance in this film is inspired.

A fun and uplifting film about Oppenheimer is an intriguing concept. Oppenheimer Goes To Camp maybe?

Which is why the first thing I always look at, on your 4K reviews, is "Makes use of and works well in 4K". If I don't see at least a 7 I stick with the Blu Ray. While I have no proof, my eyes tell me most pro reviews exaggerate the visual improvement to promote 4K discs. I greatly appreciate...

I took a look at Gruv and they offered 20% off for new customers. So, I ordered the second and third 4k Hitchcock boxes. They shipped today. Thank you for the tip.

I don't follow with makes use of and works well in 4k-7, with upgrade from blu-ray definitely?

Makes use of and works well in 4k-7, that is the clue.

I think the official controlling the disbarment investigation had a child he wanted kept secret.

A blu ray set of Bonanza?

The constitution of the Soviet Union guaranteed freedom of speech and assembly*. *Except if it wasn't in the best interest of the State.

Truer words were never said.

I always look at "The makes use of and works well with 4k" If I don't see a "4" or higher I stick with the Blu Ray.

Mine played fine on my Oppo 203 after I cleaned it. I removed the blu rays from my box making it much easier to access the 4k discs.

Mine is an Oppo 203 with the latest firmware.

Mine froze Mine froze up at minute 49 as well. I cleaned it very carefully and it played without incident. I'm taking the blu rays out just in case.

Mr. Harris, I have concerns about the benefit of upgrading to 4k on three on these films. I suspect Vertigo will look noticeably in 4K, but the other three I'm not so sure. You omitted the Upgrade from Blu Ray in your review, I'm wondering why? Disregard the fact that Hitchcock is my favorite...

Does the Pace unit impact the quality of the picture, over the SA 3100HD, or just give you more features? On a 16x9 set does the Pace display 4x3 with black or gray side bars?

Adam, Are you sure you want to fix this problem? While I'm not 100% sure I believe the problem is the component output of your receiver upconverts everything to 1080i. Hence, your set has trouble. I'm not sure why what Mr Briggs suggested won't work but I would simply continue to use S-Video...

How does the RP 82 display a 4x3 progressive image on a 16x9 set? Specifically, will it display it 4x3 with black side bars on a 16x9 set that has the "lock in full" problem with a progressive signal? Does the RP 82 allow you to adjust sharpness?

I'm looking for some help on the "super soldier" question. My take is they are humans who were abducted and engineered either by the aliens or humans under alien control. The purpose being sort of a police force for the aliens once they take over. This is nothing more than an uneducated...

My all time favorite is the "Copper Clapper Caper" between Johnny Carson and Jack Webb.

For conventional consumer use vinyl is better than tape in the vast majority of circumstances. It really matters little that the master tape is better than the LP cut from it, the real issue is what software playback format is best for consumer use? Unless high quality open reel dubs were made...

David, What is your point? You're comparing a recording medium to a playback medium. Nobody in their right mind would compare vinyl to studio quality open reel on an absolute basis. What is the master source for the vast majority of vinyl in the first place? Or course you can still get blank...

John, If the ambient noise level of a quiet listening room is 30 or 40 db, then 70 db dynamic range is more than adequate. If peaks of 110 db are about the most any rational person would expose themselves to, then I submit CD's theoretical superior dynamic range is moot in real world...

Bill, while a cassette sounds fine in a car there is no way it compares to open reel or Lp. At one point you may have heard a top of the line cassette deck that might have compared to a mid-fi turntable in a mid-fi system, but it isn't 1976 anymore. Over the past 25 years turntables,arms and...

Lp's cut from DSD masters? While I'm as pro vinyl as they come this doesn't make sense. The only reason to fool with all the hassale of Lp playback is sound. Or perhaps in some cases availability. The only way an Lp cut from a DSD master will sound better than an SACD is if the SACD was poorly...

I have a 36XBR400 and TWC Digital Cable. To be honest my picture with cable was less than great. The lower channels looked the worst. I kept after TWC and they discovered I was suffering excessive signal loss. They took one look at my set and told me they were aware sets like mine called for a...

I have a 510 and can confirm the set is wonderful with dvd and HD. Digital cable blown up this big doesn't do it for me. I prefer watching that on my 36XBR400. With a real good signal cable still only looks, to me, fair at best. Once you've seen HD, NTSC broadcasts look very soft on the 510...
