Happiness is a flat Blu-ray disc. Thanks Sony. And thanks FedEx for not stomping on it this time.

No biggie. I just wrote Sony Customer Care an e-mail and included a link to the photos. I'm sure they will make things right. As T.E.L. would say: "Alright, alright, just fetch another." :)

Minor tragedy. My replacement bonus disc arrived via FedEx today but looked as if it had been stepped on. The BD box was cracked and the disc sustained a severe bend. Oh well, try, try again.

That's good to know. Perhaps I'll change mine to "Specialist". My definition of a "Specialist": A person who learns more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing. :rolleyes:

Even people like me who read the manuals front to back screw up! The first time I watched my new 4K BD of Lawrence of Arabia, the picture looked great..... But the sound was horrible! Turned out that somehow I had pushed a button on the receivers remote control (probably sat on it) and instead...

"Be not clever with me, English." ;)

When Robert A. Harris, the man who KNOWS what Lawrence of Arabia should look like tells me to throw out my Sony 4K UHD BD and watch a sharper, compressed, 4K streaming version.... Then I will gladly do so.

Watched the film on UHD BD twice. Once on my 4K Sony 885ES (projector), and once on my 4K LGC9 (65" OLED). I don't see anything remotely resembling the decreased sharpness or lack of detail as depicted in the screen caps. I'm 64 years old and my hearing isn't what it used to be. But I have...

Ditto with my Sony 885ES. Aside from the many times that I've experienced LOA at a first class 70mm venue, the 4K UHD projected on a huge screen is as close to absolute perfection as I'm ever likely to get in a home theater environment. Still floating in the clouds! I may watch it again...

"It is so with all machines!"

Mr. Harris, What we owe you...... Is beyond evaluation!

Lawrence is one of the few films that has only a few fades (intermission, Entr'acte and end of film). Almost every other edit is a quick cut, or swish pan. I'm not even sure if there's a dissolve. It's a superbly edited film.

Which version shall I watch tonight?..... Hmmmm… Decisions, decisions.

I hope that my new Sony 885ES plays nice with the HDR on the 4K UHD disc. Will find out later tonight and report.

Saw the '88 restoration at the Ziegfeld 8 times! Then once in 2002, but by then there were trailers and ads. Completely different experience.

Already pre-ordered months ago. Can't wait! Will have to have a 4K (socially distanced) party! :dance:
