Sound bars suck. I hate them. And when they built their house we made sure to have the living room wired for 5.1, speakers installed into the walls. it's a great setup and has superb sound. So 5.1 is absolutely necessary. The Marantz looks interesting. I am going to see if I can find one...

Well it is happening. I found an open box Panasonic DMP BDT230 for less than $40 shipped. It will do everything the folks need so I am happy to have found a solution. 90 day warranty too.

One issue is my parents hate touchscreens. They want a remote with buttons. Oh boy. That's an issue for smarter remotes. Ten years ago this wasn't an issue but now it seems they really do struggle with technology that used to be simple for them. Age sucks.

It has to cost less than $100. it's for my folks. But it looks like there is no option and I am going to have to drive five hours to their place to hook up a new BD player. Oh brother.

Okay, I need something that would seem to be quite simple. A BD player that has 1. Wifi and 2. Netflix and 3. OPTICAL audio output. It has to have all three. And right now i cannot find ANY that do! WTH is going on here? What am i missing here? It's a long story, but it HAS to have...

Hi all, I gave my parents my old Denon audio/video receiver many years ago and it lacks HDMI. Everything was component. Now of course times have changed and all of their latest gear is HDMI (BD player, DircTV receiver), which means they are always switching inputs on the TV. Never mind the...

I concur. This blew my mind. 120 inch screen and it felt like a 35mm print. Astounding. Hilariously dated movie, but great fun.

It's great news. Simple as that.

This is pretty obvious. All of these newer FOX transfers suffer from the same anomalies. It's as if the color space has been clipped. These transfers are just wrong. Unfortunately the messengers are frequently attacked in forums like this and elsewhere and that is a shame. To the original...

That is all rather obvious. DNR DNR DNR. This is beyond sloppy for Disney. Frankly, I don't understand how it could pass QC. It's just bad. Real bad. Will kids care? No. But that is not what it is supposed to look like. Have the people who mastered The Longest Day switched to Disney?

Hopefully we can finally have the extended director's cut released, which was only put on VHS.

Link? I cannot see anything from Shout.

Shouts POLICE STORY I and II BluRay was an upconverted transfer. My DVD looked better. So this is no surprise.

LoL, no, you are not. :D I think I found what I need. Bill Murray in the car at the beginning of Lost in Translation. he has the correct look of WOW on his face in one shot.

No Sci-Fi. No Sci-Fi. No Sci-Fi. :) I will check out On the Town. What would work best is a modern day film. 80's to present day. That's what I need to really pull off what I am trying to pull off.
