Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Better Call Saul on blu-ray upscales beautifully! What a miracle compared to the upscaling tech I saw on first generation 4K TVs back in 2014. I remember seeing the Ghostbusters blu-ray playing on a Sony 4K tele back then and the upscaling looked like a load of swirling pixel noise. And without HDR, it still looks amazing, who needs it??

Now I do everything from the remote that came with my TV I'm not sure if I understand, the remote from my TV can only control my TV. And I really hate that remote because of the click clack sounds it makes. With the Logitech I can control my TV, my Pioneer amp, my CD player, my Blu-ray player, my Denon amp in another room (which had no remote), my DAC (only has an optional remote which I don't have), etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 My TV is connected to my receiver through HDMI, and they talk to each other so when I hit the power button on my remote, it turns on both the TV and the receiver, and the volume buttons on the remote change the volume of the receiver, not the TV (I don't use the TV's built in speakers). You're right, I have to bust out a separate remote if we watch a disc, but we rarely do that these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I fancied rewatching the magnificent appendices from the LotR EEs, it's been years. Trouble is I threw out the DVDs during my last move. But I found a torrent which packaged the whole lot together really neatly - minus the films. Downloaded 'em last night, easy peasy, still seeded to this day. You don't even need physical media for DVD extras these days! Incidentally, had I purchased the digital versions of the EEs, I'd have been thoroughly pissed off to discover later that they don't even come with the full appendices.

A24 4,335 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 OLED is the better technology. Interesting that the 8K resolution wasn't all that obvious. Also, you could easily see that the second TV was the OLED due to the perfect viewing angle, which is still the Achilles' heel of LED TVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
