    Mac Studio & Studio Display

    Dave, if I wasn't willing or able to spend the cash on the Apple panel I probably would have kept the S9. While not nearly as polished as the Studio Display, it's a capable monitor with some flaws. If you can live with them, it's a pretty good deal at $900.

    Mac Studio & Studio Display

    The same afternoon I hooked my panel up, I got a notification that there was a firmware update for it. So, Apple is at least working on some things regarding the Studio Display. As is typical though, there was no info provided about what the update actually did. :) So far I've experienced no...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    Please re-read the post of yours that I replied to - Post #301. In it, you quote Dave, but nowhere in that quote did he mention seeing the Special Edition/Director's Cut in 70mm. He said ALIENS. If you're talking about a different post of Dave's, perhaps you should have quoted that one instead...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    Not in the post I responded to he didn't. The post from Dave quoted in the post I replied to (#301) did NOT mention the "Directors Cut." At all. He specifically said "I have seen a 70mm print of Aliens at Fox Studio back in 2016" in that quote and that was it.

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    Dave stated that he saw a 70mm print of Aliens, and unless I missed it, he doesn't mention that it was the SE anywhere in his post.

    Mac Studio & Studio Display

    Well, I did a thing and picked up both the S9 *and* the Studio Display this past week, so I thought I'd resurrect this old thread since the S9 has dropped to $899 almost everywhere now and some people might be tempted, like I was. I've had a chance to compare and, despite some shortcomings, I...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - The Abyss -- in 4k UHD

    I received my copy yesterday, and my wife and I watched the Special Edition last night. I found the presentation to be a strange animal. Yes, to me it looks very digital and processed for the most part, yet at the same time, there's an astonishing level of detail visible in some of the...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    Well, Lucas modified the very structure of his Star Wars films by adding new effects, cutting out scenes, adding new scenes, and changing dialogue. And didn't Freidkin remove an offensive line of dialogue from TFC in addition to changing the color timing? I'm not defending what Cameron's done to...

    Or, as in my case, watching the 4K streaming version of Aliens, which didn't look very good at all to me. I'm hoping I have a better opinion of the disc release.

    Today’s Blu-Ray Movie Price Drops

    Yeah, I've found the same to be true. Walmart currently has Apu 4K in stock for the same $58.54 price. That's a great deal.

    General Discussion Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase 5 General Discussion (Spoilers discussed for All Films -- Please Read First Post)

    I agree. Marvel seems to be struggling to find its footing again. They captured lightning in a bottle with most of their films up through Endgame, but then they got greedy and oversaturated their market with too many expensively produced movies and D+ shows, many of them sub-par and...

    Easily done, although I don't believe the title is actually deleted. The listing for it just gets removed. This is via the macOS TV app:

    Apple TV+ Apple TV+ Ad-Supported Tier In Works

    I agree with you Josh, but I also think that it's only a matter of time before every streaming platform out there drops the on-demand subscription model. IMO we'll all be forced to pay for annual commitments before the decade is out, and probably sooner rather than later. I hope I'm wrong.

    Got mine from Target today as well, Robert. It's due for delivery on Friday. My Amazon pre-orders (placed weeks and weeks ago) still have no estimated delivery date. I've canceled them.

    Apple TV+ Apple TV+ Ad-Supported Tier In Works

    Great! Ads and price increases. Perfect. I'm almost completely fed up with the whole streaming service landscape at this point. These companies are working hard to make streaming as inconvenient, annoying, and expensive as cable or satellite. At this rate, it won't be long before I just stop...

    UHD Review A Few Words About A few words about...™ - Aliens -- in 4k UHD

    I just got a shipping confirmation from Target estimating a 3/18 delivery. Still nothing but crickets from Amazon on both this title and The Abyss, so I canceled my orders there.
