They were rereleasing the old lossy discs for ages. I’m picking them up one-by-one as the prices drop. Well three of them are 2K upscales. Only 1 and 4 are proper 4K. But yeah there is a difference.

At least not if I want to see it in good quality. I have two Blu-ray players (one Samsung, one Sony), a PS3, and a PS4. All of them have a Netflix app. And none of them is capable of playing Netflix at 24fps. I guess all I can hope for is a Blu-ray release... That is a bummer that the PS4 forces 60hz from Netflix output creating 3:2 pulldown for 24fps content. Very lame they won't fix it. I'd recommend purchasing an Amazon Firestick. Works great, zippy interface, only 40 bucks, outputs everything properly https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZV9RDKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Yeah Chromecast requires a phone. Especially now that Amazon has its streaming app on Apple TV, I don't really have a reason to switch after using it for a number of years now.

Jay 37,258 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Right, he is saying he takes his phone out of his pocket to select what to watch and begin the stream, but then then TV is what actually displays the stream He's saying he prefers doing it that way over using a remote.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 There's even a Kodi plugin for Android which allows me to browse Kodi on my phone and bring up whatever I want to watch on the big TV. WiFi manages it all these days, it's great. To me, physical media is all but dead. Also, Chromecast is a much more reliable device than Amazon Fire Stick in my experience. I own both now, and I never use the Fire Stick at all anymore, it was always horrid at playing HD media via Prime streaming or Netflix, always micro-stuttering without fail. These days though, one doesn't really even need those devices anyway - since modern panels are generally all 'smart' in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I watched 10 Cloverfield Lane last night, and I'm glad I did. Couple of bad plot holes (easily ignored by me) and badly overscored, but it was still an effective little twist on the captivity thriller. There's a part of me that wishes more movies were setup to accommodate such a playfully cool reveal in the final moments of the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
