    2nd year into owning OLED has led me to an existential question: what is the "correct" black level, my OLED, or a theater (aka not true black)

    Well it turns out that according to a reddit thread, Cameron didn't use the full 1.43:1 aspect ratio of IMAX so I guess I'll just be going to a new screen (for me). Apparently the most recent tentpole film that did open to the full IMAX ratio was Dune, and I missed that in the theaters.

    2nd year into owning OLED has led me to an existential question: what is the "correct" black level, my OLED, or a theater (aka not true black)

    After watching a lot of extras on current filmmaking (in the digital realm) I came to a similar conclusion Josh (and Robert Z with his knowledge about the equipment and mastering techniques pretty much confirmed it). It's kind of like the theatrical vs. near field sound mixes. What's...

    This video is from 2019 but I came across it while doing some searching after my Initial post. According to him $30K Sony reference monitor that “all of them use” but that Sony has stopped making…and apparently many of them have a larger panel since that reference monitor is small (when they...

    2nd year into owning OLED has led me to an existential question: what is the "correct" black level, my OLED, or a theater (aka not true black)

    Long time members here will know that I've been part of the community since 1997 (right after getting my first full time job my first big purchase was a DVD player as Los Angeles was one of the initial 7 test cities for the new technology). I loved going to the theaters. Living and working where...
