    If we look back to the history of consumer based home display technologies, I think HDR will make a great case study of how NOT to release a new technology. It still boggles my mind in this day and age there wasn't more corroboration on coming up with another way and some kind of standard of...

    I'm glad to see Paramount actually the time to do the new Blu-ray right. What we are seeing in some cases with other remastered BDs that accompany the UHD BD almost seems like a quick and easy effort. I wonder if it's some sort of HDR to SDR automated software process or something? Sometimes...

    I think we're fortunate to even have UHD BD. Remember back in 2014 and even as late as earlier 2015, there were a lot of people (some of whom in the industry) that doubted the format would actually happen.

    I'm using a relatively newer JVC FP paired with the Panasonic 820 and generally have gotten very nice results with the tone mapping (no issues with darkness, clipping, etc.). I am curious to explore a dynamic tone mapping solution at some point down the road.

    Good point and they surely wouldn't have wanted to release two actual different UHD discs.

    I agree. I have always been such stickler for video standards and good calibration. Honestly, it's still hard to believe they rolled out the new format in the way they did. What might have helped: two layers for each UHD BD; 4K SDR layer (retaining standards!) and 4K HDR layer but requiring...

    These UHD BD discs really just contain P3/DCI within a 2020 container, right? Many displays are getting well over 90% P3/DCI coverage, so I'm not sure getting full 2020 matters at all here. 2020 will serve more importance once we get native content with it. I agree though, with HDR you really...
