The fact is DVD was never meant to be shown on large home projection setups. BD is more than capable of being a source device on a projector setup. Even with 100" screens at normal distances 10-12ft you are barely on the edge of slightly noticing an improvement in detail with UHD/4K. The...

All 4K or ultraHD or whatever they are calling it is just another attempt by CE makers to make the 'next' thing to make you feel that you 'need' to have it. 1080p is more than adequate even on screens in the 100" to 130" range at normal distances. The problem with the screendoor effect has...

Plus why is it when I pay the HD premium for some titles my UV copy is limited to SD?

I don't like all hoops you have to jump through. Plus it kind of defeats the purpose of the it when its hit or miss if your content shows up at one Vudu provider vs another.

iTunes not embracing UV is because Apple wants you to purchase the content from them. Same reason they haven't adopted BD on their more than capable hardware.

Whatever happened to Ken after he left Universal when HD DVD was deep sixed?

The horror... like they would answer anything that questioned the quality of the release. I am sure they will revisit the title someday.

I remember when one side had a few titles that had some interactive online features and PiP that they touted until the day format was axed. I always maintained that those were meaningless compared to getting the best video/audio experience possible. The only thing I ever used BD-Live for was...

Sorry if I came off a little harshly regarding PC. They didn't rip the projector apart in their review. I just don't like how they rate them all together. The Epsons are brighter but every LCD unit I have seen has a uniformity issue. My old 1080UB had it. I wanted to try an SXRD model and...

I don't really care what Projector Central thinks. I had an Epson unit prior and I wanted something other than LCD. I had a Sharp DLP with a 5x color wheel that I could see rainbows with so I didn't want to go back to that technology. The Sony had a good reputation among its owner base and...

I went with the Sony HW30ES. It's the current jack of all trades projector. I upgraded from an Epson ProCinema 1080UB. Pretty happy with it. I use it primarily with the Monster/Optoma RF glasses because you can tune some of the ghosting out compared to the Sony glasses.

I want this movie to at least live up to quality that was the first two films in the Alien franchise. I have purposely been avoiding trailers and other coverage of the film.

I have spent too darn much on this hobby in the last decade and a half. I now have a 3D projector. I am done with equipment upgrades for a long while. 4K doesn't interest me unless there is an affordable path for native content.

My point is that 'high-profile' catalog releases are pretty much drying up. We still have some classic Disney titles coming but for the most part BD is going to need the need to power of the new releases to help build the format further. Thankfully 2012 is shaping up to be a pretty strong year...

I sold it off a few years ago now. I thought Lawrence was coming to BD a lot sooner.
