And….get this, I’ll throw in a peanut glazed pretzel if you can tell what’s (internally) located at about the level of the tip of the arrow.

Funny thing is I started to believe HDR was all a conspiracy started by some dude with just a single letter for a name.

Update 2021-04-18:
Since we are offline anyway we are going to take the opportunity to upgrade to a new supported OS which is the better long-term decision. However, it will mean some more days offline since many things needs to be re-installed/configured manually.

Looks like Blu-ray.com believes that discs will be around for quite a while, and worth the financial investment.

Easy. That's the "what in the world is Penton-Man rambling about again" neural noggin translator. It's syncs with your hippocampus creating a much stronger bond than the older and more fragile Penton-Man decoder rings.

Does no-one check anything any more? That web page is a line-wrapping catastrophe; almost unreadable.

All fine on my end right now.

And congrats to all the Oscar winners from last night...with Nomadland, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Frances McDormand, Soul, My Octopus Teacher, Promising Young Woman, Another Round, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, ... and the rest of Hollywood gang.
Because movies and documentaries and animations matter. The show must go on.

is not that commonplace in studios and elite post houses as compared to the Sony Master Monitors, I think over time as more facilities transition from the old Sony BVM-X300 4K OLED Master Monitor to the HX310 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz8c1QJLkx4#t=3m35s and if light modulating cell layer (professional) panels remain accessible to Sony from a vendor, you’ll see the nits levels increasing a bit on feature film and episodic home deliverables, especially with filmmakers becoming more comfortable and experienced with the value of HDR/WCG for their storytelling.

I recall that Vincent Teoh did a pretty good review on the HX310 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ee74qdPcmY#t=11m30s , all I’ll add is that there is HX310 panel variability with most of them calibrating at around 940 – 985 nits, few hit the 1000 nit mark.

A lot of that is BS. YouTube doesn't support HDR10+.
