    I've not seen. Presuming the filmmakers have made the changes, to me it would just be a new take. My position is always to bring color and densities to original levels.

    HD 42" flat panel. Great if you're doing color grading. How large is your family room?

    David, don't get me wrong. I love 4k. It's just that, at this moment, unless you're using the Samsung player fed into a Samsung panel, one can easily feel like a beta tester. The format needs firmware and software tweaks before it's ready for prime time. I believe I'm relatively savvy when...

    Journey to Space offers HDR or non-HDR, presumably made possible by the length of the film, and multiple data streams.

    No. A high speed cable is a high speed cable. Blue Jeans is fine. Samsung is telling there techs to push Monster. The problems that I'm seeing are communication between the Samsung and other devices. Then there's the single handshake.

    You may have misunderstood my post. Samsung is blaming any problems on improper cables. I don't buy that. Their player is buggy, and although upgrades have come along, none thus far have solved the most agretious problems. As I've said previously, this entire rollout should have occurred in...

    The Necessity for a Monster cable comes from Samsung tech support. Not my idea. Presume they have a deal with Monster. 10 bit, 12 bit.. Some films aren't even finished in 12 bit. There's no necessity for it re home theater. While I love the look of Dolby Vision, how many current devices...

    Or P3. For earlier digital restorations, unique LUTs were created, to aid in achieving the proper result in recording back to an analogue intermediate.

    It's It's far more complex than that. Film is an organic entity, which constantly changes over time. While Joy may adapt perfectly well to HDR, once the organic nature of the emulsion begins to change, all bets are off. I'll offer an example. Those who viewed the latest Blu-ray, or...

    I don't believe so, especially in the hands of marketing. Keep in mind that, above all else, HDR is a marketing anomaly. It's been put in place to help sell 4k displays, mostly to people who have zero interest in cinematography, and view much of their films in Brilliant mode, as they enjoy...

    Most were planned for the crystalline appearance of nitrate, or properly printed direct positive Eastman Color. Not hyped chroma, blinding whites, or fiercely orange fire fx.

    Precisely. Changing an older film by adding HDR, presuming it can be done, is much like the c 1968 reissue of GWTW in scope.

    I viewed David O. Russell's Joy for the first time late last year, and found it to be an interesting bio-pic of an unlikely subject, once you really get into it. While it may not be a great film, it's a very good one. My interest in re-viewing it, was to get a true sense of comparison between...
