I've watched the first half of the UHD and give it a thumbs up. It's a marked improvement over the BD. (120" proj)

Dang what a mixed bag. I think I will just have to open the UHD and see it on the big screen. This one is a nice improvement: https://caps-a-holic.com/c.php?a=1&x=475&y=203&d1=17389&d2=17388&s1=193391&s2=193383&l=0&i=14&go=1

My copy arrived this morning, and I had decided to leave it unopened for return until seeing caps-a-holic comparisons. After watching the first half of the old blu-ray this morning I see the caps are up. I guess I will open the UHD :-)

I have the UHD TGTBATU which is awesome and was highly needed. Today I watched A Fistful of Dollars from the Man With No Name Trilogy BD from 2010 to review its awesomeness or lack of. It looked really good. I'm on the fence on $40 for the first two movies. Maaybe I'll wait for a lower price to...

back down to $18.60 at Amazon

You and Amazon both spelled Russell with one 'l'. Just sayin.

Just checked the free version on Amazon Prime - ugh SD. Better get my order in.

Unfortunately, too many new release threads degenerate into this, even without prompting.

Or even an AVC high bitrate encode of the current 'version'?

Their product page consistently refers to "any wall", and never discusses what should be the characteristics of the wall or how various other textures or colors affect the display. That seems a bit suspicious...

We watched this sweet movie tonight- a lovely presentation at 120", and also enjoyed the witty dialog especially between Mr Brown and Mrs Brown :-)

I have some DVD (ripped to a Plex server) which look great- upsampled by the BD player and projected to 120" with the 5050UB. But most are far out-classed by their BD counterparts. You sound hostile to the BD format, and of course, there are movies on BD not released on DVD. cheers

Love this movie (helps I grew up 100 miles from Tulsa, 60s and 70s). I agree the surround mix is way over the top, detracting from the movie. Why oh why Mr Coppola? Edit: I guess next time around, I'll put the receiver in stereo mode and see if that fixes it...

Do you think it suffers from John Wick-itis???

I normally fawn over natural grain and eschew DNR (and I absolutely can't stand sharpening to the point of haloing), but I know when I watched this UHD a couple years ago, I liked it and didn't mind the lack of grain, since the detail is quite good and sharp, and thinking that as a science...
