    I’m going to wait for the 4k disc, as streaming is a moving target.

    Your best bet is to (budget permitting) bring in a professional calibrator to guide you.

    They do not, and I've found it to be a problem with certain releases.

    Have you not screened a large format film on 4k disc before?

    Not with HDR and Dolby Vision. The streaming very is not wonderful.

    With the exception of bob & weave, and a lack of shutter, there’s no reason why it should not.

    Pre-Order PHE Press Release: My Fair Lady (1964) (4k UHD)

    You’re viewing a film, that in 4k has four times the image resolution of Blu-ray, and that resolution is actually in the original data files we created. Probably 90% of 4k releases don’t, and cannot have that uptick in resolution, because it isn’t in the original material. As long as no one...

    The restoration was completed. I turned over perfect 4k data files and film preservation elements to CBS. There was nothing left to be done, and if no changes were made, I wasn’t needed. Early on, we performed a test to 4k Blu-ray with no changes, and all was well. We’ll have to wait to see...

    A gentleman and his friend, both three times her age, take in a young innocent girl, to teach her the ways of the world. And don't take her to bed with them.

    An oddity for the Uptown. Their projection was as perfect as possible. Re the non-strip screen, it had a major cross-illumination problem. They should have replaced the strips!

    If you liked the 4k stream, you should be thrilled with a disc. Just to be clear, there’s nothing wrong with panels. I love my OLED. Even the news looks great on it. But to take full advantage of an extremely highly resolved 4k image, the larger the better. I’ve projected 4k discs on a 37 foot...

    I’m stunned. I had no idea the Uptown shut down. I loved that venue. Great physical theater, great people. It was better before they removed the strip screen, but even afterwards, going there was an event. First the Ziegfeld...

    Robert - let me try this another way. I review to the highest tech standards. If a release looks great, and properly replicates a film image in 4k projection, it’s going to look superb on your 55 OLED. Unfortunately, it often doesn’t work the other way ‘round. As far as HDR/DV, an image may...

    Do you know the speed of your data throughput? It should appear far better than what you’re seeing. The problems that I’m seeing are far more finite and specific.

    Robert - I’m not referencing what people should have or can afford. I’m making the point that releasing certain older films with their imagery adjusted to fit the needs of marketing for physical media and streaming, can do damage, and render an experience - at any size - a potentially less than...

    While large format films can be viewed on a phone, the initial purpose was viewing on huge screens. A large format presentation viewed on a 55 inch panel in 4k will not serve purposes much better than a Blu-ray.

    I have expectations that should hopefully play out correctly. Those with high end panels should see a quality image, with some potential minor problems with air around blacks. Projection, which should be the main viewing resource could have a problem with Dolby Vision / HDR. Without it would be...

    Her attitude was disappointed, but accepting. Above all, what comes through in the tests is her absolute sweetness and respect for those working with her. An amazing lady. But so was Marni.

    Ms Hepburn did not record vocal tracks for the film. She did piano tests. Probably a dozen takes were cut together by the word and phrase to achieve what you’re hearing. There were neither complete songs, nor even long takes.

    No. They gave her a shot at recording them.

    The tracks, also on the laser, were created from a multitude of piano tests. There were never final vocal tracks.
