Yes, Alabama is in Dorian's path; they should prepare for big winds and rain and flooding.

I totally agree. I was hoping for much better minimum specifications. I was also hoping for 3D to be included but that's another story.

Oh, pleeeease.

Suggestion for future article - Can we do 8K with 5K sensors?
Let’s discuss...

(Maybe simplistic, but if Ansel Adams could take box camera negatives with the glass from his day, why wouldn’t current glass capture enough light to illuminate an 8K sensor with a full image?)

HDR is pretty much the opposite of plug and play, always has been. I'd love to have a feature like that on my TV.

If you follow all the links and small print, it's not really free . There are several pieces of elastic attached to Lightspace.

when I have more time and can find it on my other computer, maybe next week as I’m super busy now, I’ll try to dig out an exclusive pic I took of the cap marking the spot before the signage was attached –

Since signs are coded and the production was not about to put Top Gun: Maverick on the yellow placard for fear of attracting a large crowd, folks may wonder what the heck did IP stand for?
Well, for that, see the hint in quotation marks which I gave back in Aug. 2018 - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...o#post15408126
