Not to worry , the human visual system and the measuring of it can be complicated - http://www.display-central.com/events/

One of these days I’ll delve into the superiority of logMAR testing over that of what is often presumed and referenced in AV blogs as the ‘gold standard’ for determining visual acuity, namely thee ole Snellen chart.

Did the manager ever explain his decision making?

Not to mention ‘Pi’ – https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...pi#post8724061

Not really. Just mentioned that this Saturday is our cup final in league. IMO, that's a big cop-out. I'm sure he knows just how issed (add a p at start) sunderland fans are now!

One learns something new every day.

Geoff, initially, I was flummoxed. So, is that a London-centric phrase? a provincial colloquial expression? or are you one of those higher educated literary people?

Well, if you have a home match this weekend, he’d better put on his thickest skin because it sounds like your supporters aren't too happy.

Unless the Director doesn’t prefer detail (for instance, the colorist in instructed to pull a defocus key on some or many scenes), generally expect to be more sharply visually impressed with content that was shot with ‘digital’ high resolution cameras (for example, Sony F65/F55, Red Epic (5K with custom 4K extractions) than flicks that were shot on 35mm. film.

Why?

Because resolution is intimately tied to contrast and despite 35mm film having a resolution of 3 - 4K (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...ed#post5695796), processed 35mm film demonstrates very limited contrast at its *4K* level of resolution so, the visual impact drops off sharply at that rez.

It’s tough if you’re playing against a team whose top priority (given the standings) is not to lose, when, on the other hand, you pretty much have to win.
Cheer up , worst case Premier league season outcome, you have only 88 Days to Go…..

They basically parked the bus in their own half! I'm sure Geoff won't mind me saying that. After all, a point is a better result for them.

Cool video by the way.
