Is that reason enough to believe Disney will release a UHD of rogue one?

Hey guys, this is the best place I could think of to ask about speaker settings. I know very very little about the sound side of things and was hoping to get ideas. I have an LG TV with a soundbar as well, in a pretty normal sized living room (TV is maybe 8ft away from couch).

Are there any rules for keeping a good balance of things like treble and bass? I have a preset on it now that sounds good, but only just turned up the bass a little and it adds great definition. I have a few other settings I'm not sure about like WF but again, no idea what I'm doing.

Guys what's a good option for looney tunes? I don't think it's streaming anywhere and I'm trying to track down some classic stuff (preferably on Blu ray).

I'm a little confused about DV, will uhd discs still look awesome on a 4k set with hdr10? Or is it like missing a piece of the puzzle?

Thankfully the only one I care about is princess mononoke and I got the jp blu a while back, I'm pretty sure that had both tracks.

Also, is blade runner 49 pretty bad on uhd? That was one I was looking forward to picking up when I get a player.

Cliffhanger was the first R rated movie I ever saw and I still consider it peak action. The plane heist scene is one of the best action sequences ever put on film, and I believe the most expensive stunt ever recorded at the time. Don’t hesitate on the UHD, the helicopter shots look stunning and the atmos works really well.

This guy talks about it a little around the 2:45 mark. They paid the stunt guy a million for it. Even though he didn't quite pull it off, he still managed to get out of danger and parachute safely down.

I bought the original Sailor Moon anime on bluray, which is now my most absurd physical purchase, since each half season was between $35-$45. There are 5 seasons of it.

As a comparison, I got the complete Steven Universe, which is sadly DVD only, but was only $70 for the whole thing.

I used to have fullmetal alchemist brotherhood on blu-ray but I sold it when I needed money. Now I'm looking for it again because I want a better quality than streaming and of course it's insanely expensive or out of region.

Just a reminder ps5 UHD doesn't have dolby vision. I'm going to end up getting a digital only console and a separate player.

Yeah I find the setup for great audio too tedious and therefore just use a sound bar. Once I settle into a home this year maybe I'll try setting it up but I've no idea what I'm doing.

I remember the first time a friend showed me the big heist scene on VHS or DVD (it was the late 90s/early 00s). I hadn't seen the movie yet and I flipped out when people started firing off their guns and it sounded different from every action movie gun I'd heard before.

At my peak I think I had something like 400 movies and a couple TV sets. After moving a few times and ultimately realizing I don't watch them as much anymore, I dumped a large chunk of my collection. Probably down to 50 now, and it's a mix of stuff that's out of print/hard to fjnd online, and stuff I really love.

use them on my OLED with my 4K player, no issues.

This is a great deal, thanks! And is the Sony ubpx 700 still a decent player or is it worth going extra for the 800?

Do all the Sony uhd players require manually turning on dolby vision for content? I'm going between the 700/800 and just splurging for the Panasonic ub820.

I know this sounds obvious, but should I only turn on dolby vision for discs that have it? Referring to the Sony player that needs a manual input for DV, I'm wondering if it's beneficial to other movies in any way.

Bit late but I find stranger things to be a fun show. My biggest problem however, is they keep growing the cast and have trouble accommodating it. So they do things like split the core group for most of season 3, and the development feels thin. I read season 4 will have like 3 or 4 new characters and I'm just like "how do you plan to write for this many people?"

Are all the mission impossible movies in dolby vision? The DV list shows just the latest one, while the box set has a broad listing and Blu-ray.com mentions all six as having it.

I didn’t even know Hong Kong Rescue was a thing. Immediately ordering Hard Boiled and The Killer next payday.

I've got a double feature disc with both, but I'm definitely looking at this. These are such fun movies, would be nice to get some good quality versions (and others like better tomorrow) since I can't seem to find any streaming options.

What was the final verdict on Hong Kong Rescue? Good but maybe not great? I have a double feature blu of killer and hard Boiled, but I'm looking for HD versions of the better tomorrow movies and wondering if it's worth it(when they're available).

Don’t both of the new consoles lack Dolby Vision support for uhd? To me it seems silly to buy movies at a premium on a new format just to watch with a player that doesn’t support all its features.

This is why I went with a player and decided on a digital only ps5 (whenever I can get my hands on one).

Did anyone's Amazon order for the thing change to "unknown" for a shipping date? It was listed as Sept 7 but they changed it to a tbd even though the product page still lists the original date.
