    HDR & Home Calibration... your help please!

    Thanks for that, Dave! I hadn't found that site. However, as if to illustrate the confusion between SDR & HDR, I believe the settings above to be for SDR. Having said that, I copied the OLED light and Contrast settings and it did tame the eye-scorching somewhat. Cheers!

    HDR & Home Calibration... your help please!

    Thanks! I seem to just have settings for regular HD & HDR. I've been searching for HDR settings, but haven't seen anything except 100% OLED & 100% Contrast, which seems a bit retina-scorching. The search for knowledge continues! Surely someone at the HTF has some nuggets of wisdom?

    HDR & Home Calibration... your help please!

    Hello all! I recently decided to upgrade my aging home theatre. The first thing I did was get a 65" LG OLED E7 TV (following some guidance from our own Gregg Loewen). Until I can get a professional calibration from Gregg, I used Spears and Muncil to do a home calibration. This will do me for...

    On their website, BB has matched Target on the blus of IT FOLLOWS - $12.99, and also EX MACHINA for $13.99. So those who don't have Target to hand can get the same prices at their BB on Tues.

    We lost Steve Tannehill

    Count me as another who had Steve's page guide me through the world of DVD. Although we never met, I feel a sense of loss. Goodbye Steve.

    Nympho(maniac) Directors price...

    My Best Buy is notorious for not having new releases out on the floor on release day. I went there today (the day after release) and nothing. I asked and the staffer checked the computer - three in stock, but not out on the floor. He went out the back but came back empty handed as there were...

    YMMV Walmart has Man of Steel 3D CE for $25

    I was able to pick one up at a regular Walmart around 3.40pm. I was asked by a staff person in the video area if he could help me. Told him I was looking for the CE of Man of Steel and he took me right to them - two copies on top of the MoS display. They were both in spiderwrap, but...

    Hardware Review Yamaha RX-V375 Home Theater Receiver Review

    Hi Foxy! Thanks for this - I tried these modes, but they did not make any difference. Do you have any other ideas for me?

    Hardware Review Yamaha RX-V375 Home Theater Receiver Review

    Hi! Thanks for the great review, which was a consideration in my deciding to actually pick up this Receiver! I've had it a week, and yesterday I noticed for the first time a type of distortion, heard with dialogue - almost like a buzz that accompanies the dialogue. Its not there all the time...

    You are quite right. Thanks, as who knows how long it would have taken me to figure that one!

    Samsung PN60F5500 - Anything I should know?

    Thanks very much for the PM, and your continued help! The F5500 is indeed different to the menu pictured. There is no "motion Judder Canceller" at all, and my while I do have Film Mode, it is currently greyed out and I can't do anything with it. This seems to be a default setting, and...

    Samsung PN60F5500 - Anything I should know?

    They have made some changes for this model.... the MPEG noise filter isn't simply "on" - the options are low/med/high/auto. I set mine to medium There isn't a "Digital Noise Filter" anymore - it seems that "Digital Clean View" might be the same thing. I turned it off. The "Auto 2" and...

    Samsung PN60F5500 - Anything I should know?

    Wonderful! Thanks Foxy! Will check out those settings, provided I can pry my daughter away from in front of the TV, where she's put roots down! :)

    Samsung PN60F5500 - Anything I should know?

    Thanks Foxy! Will pick up the Spears & Munsil disc. What are the "few things" that are worth turning off? I assume the adjusting to room light setting is one of them. I saw the set darken before my eyes once!

    Samsung PN60F5500 - Anything I should know?

    Thanks for the feedback guys! We did indeed go with the model we originally looked at. Coming from an RPTV over a decade old, we're blown away by the extra sharpness and clarity of the set, right out of the box. This is just as well, as our daughter Natalie was in tears over hearing that the...

    Onkyo 806 slowly dying...

    My 606 has the same problem. I had a 1080i RPTV and was using component for video and HDMI for audio. Now my TV is going downhill I will be buying a new TV and going to all HDMI. Will investigate this fix...

    Samsung PN60F5500 - Anything I should know?

    Its that time again - a beloved TV has come to the end of its life. My ol' 53" Pioneer RPTV is on the fritz, and I'm wary of putting more money into an old set as opposed to buying a modern set. Looking around, I'm intrigued by the Samsung PN60F5500 - its 60", plasma, and 3D. All this for...

    Twilight Time announces Blu-ray releases March/April 2013

    Good to know that Twilight Time is upping the ante on their editions! I wondered if they would use the extras from the DVD of The Fury, but just checked it out - "Trailer, stills gallery, interactive menus, scene selection." In other words, zip. For some reason I thought there was quite a bit...
