    Obscure/Rare film you’d like that will never see the light of day?

    Catch Me If You Can (1989) - It makes no sense this isn't even on DVD. It's a goddamn Stephen Sommers film! I'm also annoyed the every Stephen King movie there is seems to bo Blu except Storm of the Century. I don't want to be stuck with a garbage double sided DVD forever.

    Sony's 2017 premium UHD-TV's the X800E, X850E, X900E and X940E series

    Good to hear, but the input lag being higher than most other brands puts me off. I'm wondering if they'll improve it with a firmware update, or if next year's model will be improved plus have DV and all full bandwidth HDMI. I'm trying to hold off until next year to find out, but if I hear about...

    Sony's 2017 premium UHD-TV's the X800E, X850E, X900E and X940E series

    Did anyone else notice that 3 of the 4 x900E models got another $200 knocked off (see best buy site among others). Once again the people wanting the smaller model get screwed, since the 49" is the only one to not get discounted.

    Sony's 2017 premium UHD-TV's the X800E, X850E, X900E and X940E series

    Depends on what you're doing with it. rtings said the X930E is all over the goddamn place on input lag. The X900E is solid, but still bullshit. I decided to to cancel it and hold off for now. I don't care to spend $1200 on a gimped model with no DV, half the ports not being full bandwidth, and...

    Will there ever be a premium mid-size 4K screen?

    Well, I ordered the 49x900e from B&H since it's free shipping, no tax, AND a $60 gift card. Can't really beat that. I just hope it shows up without issue. They apparently haven't received stock yet. I really should hold off until next year and let this DV vs HDR shit work itself out rather than...

    Sony's 2017 premium UHD-TV's the X800E, X850E, X900E and X940E series

    So I've got another question. It's really pissing me off that these TVs only have 2 ports that are full bandwidth. WHY!? Seriously. How stupid is it to not make all 4 ports equal on something they're asking these prices for? Anyway, I need to figure what I'm going to do when I get an Oppo 203...

    Sony's 2017 premium UHD-TV's the X800E, X850E, X900E and X940E series

    Thank you for the confirmation. Now I feel better. I just hope it doesn't wind up getting delivered while I'm gone Wednesday or Thursday. I'd almost prefer they not get theirs in until the 4th so it goes on my next billing cycle. It was originally listed as expected the 24th but it isn't now, so...

    Sony's 2017 premium UHD-TV's the X800E, X850E, X900E and X940E series

    Well, the 49" better be VA. I ordered at B&H. They don't have it in stock yet, but when they do I get a $60 gift card with it. p.s. I know only HDMI 2 and 3 do full bandwidth 4K. Will any of the 4 work fine for 1080p@120hz or do I need a full bandwidth port for that too?

    Sony's 2017 premium UHD-TV's the X800E, X850E, X900E and X940E series

    I'd also like confirmation the 49" is a VA panel. Someone asked on Amazon and got conflicting answers. The idiot from Sony claimed it's IPS, but someone else says they're idiots and it's really a VA this year.

    Sony's 2017 premium UHD-TV's the X800E, X850E, X900E and X940E series

    Can anyone confirm how long the launch prices of these TVs will hold out? I just realized that 49" X900E is set to jump back up to $1700 at some point. I'm still waiting to see if anyone around here gets any of them. I could order online, but I don't particularly like the idea of getting a TV...

    Will there ever be a premium mid-size 4K screen?

    Shit. I'm thinking about getting this, but is it actually going to jump back to $1700 at some point? That's ridiculous. I'd like to pick it up for the $1200, but that particular one is turning out harder to find than the larger X900Es. I'd really prefer to pick it up at Sam's Club over Best Buy...

    Will there ever be a premium mid-size 4K screen?

    Too big. 43" would be pushing it. I'd much prefer someone go back to making a 40". That said, when can we expect the 2017 models to arrive? Last years Samsung 43" had lower input lag than the Sony, but the Sony was better on motion blur from what I read.

    Will there ever be a premium mid-size 4K screen?

    I swear not one company gives a fuck about making anything good between 30 and 50 inch. It's either settle for a shit small screen or go with something huge. Why is there nothing 40" with really good refresh/clear motion rates, HDR, and low input lag? Better question. Why the hell did TV...

    It'll end when you decide to reformat and install any other OS. There's nothing inherently wrong with Win7. I'm still running it on one of my machines, even though I prefer linux.

    Windows 10 News and User discussion

    I don't know, but the fact they've gone back to the same underhanded attempts at forcing gamers to upgrade that went on with Vista really pisses me off. Games only made to run on Win10. They learned nothing back in the day when people hacked Halo 2 to run on XP instead of being Vista only. Now...

    Looking for a region B player for use in USA

    I'm looking for a region B player that can output 50hz content at 60hz, etc. and has a power supply compatible for American use. I hope the only option isn't PS3, since they seem to be discontinued and I despise the super slim top loader ones anyway. I'd rather get a PS4, but that's excessive in...

    Shield Complete Series Set re-release fixed?

    I said "packaging issues" as well. Is this a spindle? That's what I wanted to know. The original box sets messed up the discs, and the slim cases on the individual seasons released by Sony had a habit of causing them to be scuffed on arrival. I ordered 3 copies of a couple seasons and never...

    Shield Complete Series Set re-release fixed?

    Did Sony solve all the previous packaging issues with the prior box set and individual seasons with this new release or what? I want to know how it's packaged. I'm still pissed Sony rebranded the first 4 seasons without putting a "play all" option on the goddamn discs.

    'Catch-Up' titles - Released HD-DVDs that have yet to get a Blu-ray release (US Only)

    What about Black Xmas? Is the Canadian release actually equal to the US HD-DVD transfer? Cause there's no bloody US BD release. :(

    Long Kiss Goodnight????

    Is it actually coming out the 11th? I keep looking on Amazon when I need a filler for free shipping, but the damn thing STILL isn't up for preorder. You'd think it would be by now. Warner needs to get off their collective asses and do a proper transfer of Outland next. :(

    Odd speaker config issue

    This is a little odd, but I'm looking for some ideas here. I have a Denon 2310CI and some old Sony speakers (5.1 setup). I'm looking for some way to easily switch speaker location assignments or something. I recently rearranged my room so that my desk is facing another way. It gave me a lot more...

    Need TV replacement. Considering projectors

    Well, I hope to move in the spring, but my room where the 50" is sitting is like 11x11, maybe 11x13. I have a Denon receiver I picked up last fall and some cheap speakers. If I do it, I'd like to keep it under 2 grand, but I might go up to 2500.

    I have a 50" Samsung DLP that refuses to stay powered on for more than 10 minutes at time now, despite a new bulb. I've been debating what to do. I'd kind of like to go for a projector, but I dunno. I don't want to spend a lot, but I see no reason to do anything less than 1080P. I may not have...

    DVD Cases

    I emailed discmakers.com in an effort to get some info. All I got is an email saying they're sending out samples of theirs. Their 5 and 6 disc cases, while black with ugly white trays, look like they have the same hubs. I'll report back when they come. Sad thing is, their 3 disc ones look like...

    DVD Cases

    Well, I finally got a few 4 and 6 disc cases from Vernon Library Supplies. They're not all that impressive. Ever seen the cases used in the Homicide box set? Same hubs on the trays. The hubs that actually resemble the Paramount ones are close, but aren't as spongy. p.s. I noticed the new...
