I don't know about the colors. Others can comment on that. This version of the movie looks very bright and well lit. It has a completely different feel from what it's always been. Personally, I think that was a mistake. I'm just not fanatical enough about it to get very upset about it.
I vaguely recall this thread is about the 4K release of Aliens, so...
I finally watched it a couple days ago.
The opening sequence really jumps off the screen. Dynamic range of the torch cutting through the door kind of made my jaw drop.
The movie is now very bright overall, visually. So...
I doubt that TV has a component input anyway. Unfortunately, the image is so tiny, it's impossible to see what's there. However, it does appear to have a plug for an A/V "dongle" that should work with yellow composite video output on the player. The dongle is something like THIS, and connects...
Actually, Kaleidescape is better than disc, with a cost to match.
Also, I still think you're rather overstating the amount of data dedicated to 4K movies on disc. I understand even 80GB is beyond rare. It seems to tend more to a max of 40-50GB for a 2 hour movie.
I have a UHD computer drive...
I was going to mention that myself, plus even though a 4 layer BR disc can hold up to 100GB, it's virtually unheard of for the feature itself to occupy 90GB. So that stat strikes me as motivated reasoning.
For me, with my HT that is more audio capable than video (with a 65" QLED) and Gb...
I'd be inclined to give this one a purchase, but for the life of me, I can't decipher the code. I doubt it's possible for it to ever look spectacular. I believe it was a fairly budget affair.
So NOT surprised.
Wait, do they mean that consumer products and professional medical devices are different in some significant way? Who could have known?
I mean, except for anyone with an ounce of functioning grey matter.
It's always possible the hdmi board in the receiver died. That happens. You never said what model it is or how old it is.
I would disconnect the receiver from the A/C overnight. This does a sort of low level reset, and it's amazing what it can fix. Sometimes this stuff gets stuck.
Also...
No. I swear, customer service is useless at most companies.
The TV does NOT need to have ARC if you're not using ARC. You didn't need a new TV. Unbelievable.
Clearly something in the configuration of the receiver or TV, or both, was changed and caused it to stop working. Think about what...
