    Yep, but you have to be aware of how the display works and make sure you separately calibrate all of the different sources you have going to that input. The factory defaults leave a lot to be desired. If you're not aware of what's going on you can come to some incorrect conclusions about what...

    Releasing a film digitally for purchase before it's available digitally to rent is pretty standard practice.

    Depends on the display. My LG OLED has separate settings for HD, 4K HDR, and 4K Dolby Vision. Doesn't matter which HDMI input you use.

    How big is your screen? I agree with Tino. While home theater has come a LONG way, it still cannot compete with the sheer size of theatrical presentations. Which is huge (no pun intended). And really, I can't remember the last time I was subjected to an out of focus film at a theater, but I do...

    OK @Tino, I'll play. We're on the same page for a lot of the nominees, and I fully expect to be way wrong on a number of these: Best Picture: Roma Best Director: Alfonso Cuarón Best Actor: Rami Malek Best Actress: Lady Gaga Best Supporting Actor: Mahershala Ali Best Supporting Actress: Rachel...

    I've felt similarly for years Josh. In fact, I lost interest in the Awards show back in the early 2000's and find that I'm perfectly fine with looking at the winner's list the next day. In the end I'm more interested in the films themselves than in what the industry thinks of those films. The...

    I don't think the Academy Awards show and the Superbowl are in the same league as far as viewership is concerned. Not really a valid comparison.
