Television Displays and Technology Thread: The ERA of OLED is Now

Even if we forget about Nolan's previous work, I think Dunkirk, as a war film, is just lousy. It had no emotional impact on me unlike most other war stories and for that I think Dunkirk has to be Nolan's worst film to date.
Blade Runner however, whew, what a film. What. A. Film.
I hope you've seen the first one.
Intersting. I'd agree on Dunkirk. Esp because I think back to things like Band of Brothers, and I absolutely loved it and felt emotionally invested.
I have seen the first BR, but it's right up there with Transformers for as soon as I have the Atmos system done soon, I'll probably watch that and then 2049. Have heard excellent things about Final Cut in 4K.
I have to do homework? I hope this is included in the Blu-ray.
Blade Runner 2049 is mentally stimulating. It's not a popcorn flick like Transformers. Homework is essential for an understanding of the world they've built and bridges the gap between the first film and 2049.
The short films aren't long, like 3 minutes each I think.
C'mon bro, I loved original Blade Runner. Don't need reasons. But I hope it's included with the Blu-ray.
I watched it on the Sony OLED, it was like it was taking place outside the window. It is THE demo for 4K. With The Great Wall being the demo for HDR.
Nvm, was used. Is this movie really bad? If you told me that you wanted to do a Chinese fantasy movie and it would be starring Matt Damon, I would tell you "maybe don't make that movie. that sounds like a bad premise"
E: reminds me of that bit from Chappelle's show where he's talking about the Last Samurai.
Honestly, I thought it was a just fun action movie, it depends on how you normally enjoy these kinds of films I suppose. What I can say is that it is an AV 10/10 though.
From Bluray.com:
And the presence of a white and hispanic character on the wall is explained relatively well FWIW, it's a major plot point.
Hmmm....

5 star PQ, AQ, an Atmos track AND a 4K DI??
That's definitely worth a shot.
Go in expecting a dumb action movie and you will have a good time. That bluray.com rating is right on the money as well. It's not as sharp as Dunkirk but the colours will blow you away.
Are these prologues mentioned here the short films you are talking about? http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=22549
Was bummed they cancelled the 65 for the P series.
Might get the new 6 at 65-inch before waiting for the Rtings review. >.>
I'm doing 4 in ceilings, but I think you can get modules super cheap (for speakers anyway) from quite a few vendors. I think 200 or less for a pair?
Can't watch the video yet as I'm at work, but is it really far outside the realm of possibility that we'll see Sony release a 4K TV with either these specs, or near these specs this year at IFA? I know we're still waiting for detailed specs on the 2018 OLEDs, but so far they don't seem to be a large generational leap over the 2017 models unless there's something I've missed. Since IFA will be 2 years since the Z9 series, I'm curious how far Sony will have progressed by then.
Yeah, it's gonna look sooooo good!
Also, really glad that the anime short 2022: Black Out is getting included in the set too.
Yeah, I thought it was fun too. I picked up the disc as well since I liked it and thanks to the gushing reviews. The video and especially those colors and HDR, man.
Nice.

I've never looked at modules since the ceiling in my living room is so high (~11 feet). I am probably going to get a pair of these: https://www.svsound.com/pages/prime-elevation
Nice! I feel like I've read positive things about SVS stuff over on AVS
So how cheap will the 900E equivalents be getting in 2018, we reckon? I really need one to be sub-900 euro!
SVS make good speakers at reasonable prices, particularly their subwoofers. I've had a couple of their subs, and I run a 5.1 setup with older speaker line in my family room. If you have a showroom/dealer nearby, they are really good with customer service and returning speakers for any reason within 45 I days (I think). If you email them with questions, it's also possible (likely even) that the president will respond with his opinions or advice on your setup.
When I was asking questions about speakers for my family room, I sent him a rough room layout and he gave his suggestions on what speakers would work best given it's not a room built to "Dolby reference specs" (like most rooms in your home). He even talked me out of speakers that would be overkill for my room. I would definitely recommend them based on my past experiences with SVS.
I know man. I legit can't believe this is Sony. Their midrange and up has always looked great. Maybe it looks better irl?Man the stand for the new Sony 900F is hideous.
That's awesome to hear. I'm huge on companies with fantastic customer service and long term support. Very good to know.
How many nits is the new 6 series expected to be? I almost jumped on the 900E. But now I want the 6.
I don't have Atmos speakers but even the mix with regular 7.1 speakers sound great.
Oh man! I just saw David Katzmaier tweet that LG's rollable display accounts for 21:9 content. So, essentially, it top aligns the content and then rolls the screen down part way. 21:9 with no black bars! So cool and smart!
Oh yeah I'm sure anything consumer facing would be as far away as mLED, and super expensive. but still! So cool!
Yeah, I mean, if you wanna get really theoretical, that's the dream right? something the size of a projection screen that can roll up and be out of sight, with none of the downfalls of projection because it's emissive. Sounds amazing.
Yep, it's a nice change from the typical retail experience. The first time I ordered a subwoofer from SVS, I placed the order at roughly 5 PM from my office and the local dealer called my wife at home 5 minutes later to ask if we would be home for a delivery the next morning. I hadn't even called to tell my wife I had ordered it yet.
Chalk up another one in the fan club. Love this guys quirky humour and passion for the industry. Fabulous stuff. Although I'm not a aficionado even viewing on a SDR TV a subtle difference is viewable. I can imagine the actual difference is very pronounced. A few years away from being mainstream and very expensive, though, I'd have thought.
I'm still using a 40" 2013 LED set and I'm looking at the 55" Sony A1 on the basis of it's stunning design, it's sound technology and the overall view that, although not the absolute brightest, it's a brilliant performer. Perfectly balanced. I was going to upgrade when Gran Turismo Sport released but I thought I'd wait it out to CES 2018 just in-case. As it turns out it still looks the business, better that the Sony A8 for sure and is pretty much £1,300 cheaper than it was when it launched last year.
I'll be hooking up a PS4 Pro.
I guess if I do upgrade from a 2013 LED set to a 55" Sony A1 I'll get an appreciable difference, right?
I upgraded from a 2015 Samsung smart tv to the 65inch Sony x930e and I immediately \ noted the difference.
Cool, but not necessary in a "blacked out" media room. Great for living rooms though.
It never was a 'bad' UHD player. But it is improved over last year. I think it still has the same colour space issues affecting the X, but the black levels don't crush anymore. I haven't had any freezes myself even when watching Planet Earth II, Mad Max Fury Road etc.
The good thing about having it in Xbox is the updates. How many 2016 and 2017 standalones will not be updated if some new titles struggle? I too however own a dedicated Sony player now bit the One S held the fort nicely until I had bought one.
As someone going for an interview at Sony tomorrow, I'm struggling with this question that I think will come up...any help greatly appreciated;
"what are the benefits of Sony TVs other other brands?"
Whilst I can appreciate thier TVs and am indeed a big fan of Sony products (I used to always own Sony TVs in the old tube days), I'm struggling to think of any USPs or anything else to answer this question...it's not even like plugging in a PS4 will give advantages!

Huge difference. The picture of the A1 will blow you away. And it's the best designed TV at the moment imho, with an actually usefull speaker.
Sony's image processing and upscaling is a cut above the rest. especially with the X1 Extreme chip.
