OK. I was referring to the "at all times in public" remark and thought you meant outdoors. The hospital where I live doesn't have many people there where you step outside.

Most places I believe a mask outdoors only required if you can't social distance.

So, with the CDC, for planning purposes, now estimating the symptomatic mortality rate at 0.4%, and with the additional 35% they estimate are asymptomatic, that would put the mortality rate for everyone infected at 0.26% (0.4 x (1 - 0.35). Using that figure would put the number of...

Only a $5 difference at Best Buy and Target. And actually the price at Target for the 3D version was the same if you factor in the $5 gift card with purchase of the 3D exclusive. Now I wish I had ordered the Best Buy steelbook as well...

Interesting. I did not know it was required for all 3D titles to have a 2D option. It's not that way for UHD BD, AFAIK.

Great to know and glad I ordered it (I only knew about it from this great forum).

That's odd. HDR should result in an increase in shadow detail, not a reduction.

Another sign that UHD BD is doing well (better than expected). Sonopress has now shipped over one million Ultra HD Blu-rays. http://www.4kevolution.de/2016/09/4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-im-aufwind-sonopress-knackt-die-millionenmarke/ Google translated from German

I really don't understand this format war banter by some when there is no format war. Why are they against having an updated format to match the capabilities of the TVs being sold today? Like you I am just thankful that the format actually did come out, and (so far) without any of that...

That's how it was with Blu-ray too, regarding new theatrical releases, although the rate is a little higher than 5% I would think (among titles with measurable box office receipts). They can only release what the market will bear.

Contrary to what someone in this thread posted about Warcraft, a respected site gave pretty good praise to the UHD BD (reviewed on the Sony 940C) Here's an excerpt on just the resolution aspect (this was sourced from a 2K DI). Normally this reviewer is very conservative in his praise so I...

Has anybody here seen a movie in a Dolby Vision theater? Is the upgrade significant?

I've been following Blu-ray sales figures, both players and discs, for many years and know how to interpret the data. I just took exception to your implication that I don't because you assume I don't know retail. You make a lot of assumptions and think you know a lot about UHD PQ, all without...

Without offering anything of substance I'm going to assume you're just trolling. What part of 700k UHD BD players SOLD don't you understand? Why don't you share what equipment you have bought? After all, this is a thread for early adopters of the format. Being so negative about UHD BD...

It auto-detects HDR. You just have to change the HDMI port to enhanced (either HDMI 2 or 3, the other two ports for some reason don't support HDR). But it's a one-time setup and after that it will detect HDR automatically and shift to the HDR settings mode. I agree that it was dumb that they...
