The 4k release of Blade Runner--is anyone as disappointed as I am?? A quick look at your player shows it doesn't handle HDR10+ so, like teo_auido pointed out, that may be the problem. There's also no compatibility with Dolby Vision, just regular HDR. Here's some pertinent info:The player interpolates UHD with 4:4:... | |
Customer Product Reviews on Web-Based Retailers It’s like car reviews/commercials on TV. People are happy with their cars if the headlights look cool, the truck looks manly, and they can fiddle with the infotainment system as they crash and kill someone.

What a sad world we now live in....... Stats can be misleading. How many audiophiles are still buying CDs compared to the general public, who'll buy whatever is the most convenient format?I would venture a guess that the number is close to a constant in the highest and lowest estimates... | |
What a sad world we now live in....... I still miss the days when one could go to Barnes & Noble. I could spend hours going through their CDs at their listening stations. It's one thing to be able to go online and listen to a 40 sec sample and scroll down to see half a dozen "also ... | |

What are important features in a listening chair They say the Poang is wrong for listening but my experience says otherwise. There's this audio dealer close to where I live and he's got some very high end gear and he has at least one Poang chair. When I sit in it, the sound is as clear and prist... | |
Why do contributors delete their own posts? It's called WhatsApp nowadays. | |
The 4k release of Blade Runner--is anyone as disappointed as I am?? I read a review of one of the newer Pioneer 4K players and with the UHD (or was it HDR10?) set to auto, it kicks the nits up to unacceptable levels. One needs to fine tune it down to where you like it and if necessary, make it an across the board ... | |
Why do contributors delete their own posts? Maybe they figure that's they way to communicate around here when what's said isn't on the up and up?I had a couple of co-workers who'd say things under their breath that weren't nice but could be heard if you were close enough. The very action of... | |
