    For the life of the Prime member. Prime loses licences for free access frequently, Prime purchases are for perpetuity.

    Please recommend a switcher that is guaranteed 4K compatible and automatically switches to the latest active input?

    I only contacted Vudu not LG. It would be unusual for either company to respond so quickly.

    UHD Review The Maltese Falcon UHD Review

    As Robert reported no problems I went back to my TV and found settings that solved the soap opera effect and the sudden brightness changes (any remaining changes are slow, probably the result of lighting changes and OCN density variations): Picture Mode: change from Cinema Home (User) to Cinema...

    The Prime Carnival Row was Dolby 4K. The Vudu Maltese Falcon is Dolby 4K. Yes, TV remembers settings changes!

    I checked with Amazon before making a few inexpensive Warner HD purchases last year and they are for life, even if you drop Prime membership.

    UHD Review The Maltese Falcon UHD Review

    I don't believe it's the TV. Whoever is responsible for setting smoothing to CLEAR is probably responsible for the brightness changes. Still could be either Vudu or Warner. Streaming from Vudu using another device may solve the issue? Streaming from Apple TV+ (also $7 purchase) using another...

    UHD Review The Maltese Falcon UHD Review

    You are correct about the motion smoothing, my bad, the app sets it to CLEAR but the picture looks better set to OFF. I bought the service remote and disabled the ABL settings (TPC & GSR) last year, according to Vincent Teoh's YT instructions. The brightness changes are still occurring. I...

    UHD Review The Maltese Falcon UHD Review

    I don't understand your comment. With 4K HDR streaming using the LG app, the source imposes the TV settings with limited adjustment available. With Prime I did find Technicolor Expert (an available change) looked better than the initial setting. As it stands, the Dolby 4K Maltese Falcon is...

    UHD Review The Maltese Falcon UHD Review

    I purchased the 4K from Vudu. While there is an uptick in definition there are two major problems (1) "soap opera" effect, the smoothing could not be changed with the Vudu imposed settings on my TV (LG B8 OLED) using the LG app; (2) sudden changes in brightness mid scene, very annoying and not...

    Vudu has this as a 4K purchase for $6.99, is that a good price? If so, this will be my first 4K streaming purchase!

    UHD Review The Maltese Falcon UHD Review

    I was hoping for a regular Blu-ray upgrade but no. Any conjecture as to the reasons why: cost?, encode performed but not enough visual difference with the VC1 2010?, any other reason?
