Thanks.

For the most part I just lurk here because I don’t have anything to offer. However, my crystal ball is hazy but a JVC DLA-NX7 or 9 looks like it is trying to come into focus but wisp of a BenQ HT9060 keeps getting in the way. With one of the above hanging from my ceiling will up my HDR interest .

^ meaning, based on the limiting of the amount of dynamic range you’ll be able to see by using a smallish reference monitor only, one won't be able to grade images to look optimally for the larger, consumer sized television displays that we can expect viewers at home to be using because by doing so, it may result in regions of the image appearing flat when scaled up to TV sizes

I never thought I would go Samsung ever, and yet they look near of late.

You've got an Omega? The name's mike, dvdmike

which I think I inadvertently wacked on a rock today while sliding out when overcooking a turn as it doesn’t show the time nor any data, which leaves this po’ boy with only one functioning watch

Ya gotta stop whacking things on rocks, PM.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that you want to keep the two wheels upright and away from snakes.

hah, not a mile from there, this sony technology vice president



while trying to avoid an even larger one, nearly ran into me on his bike potentially causing us both to crash….must be a breeding area for those things, i.e. highway to the danger zone

Ooh, what did he say about HDR bias lighting?

Dado Valentic (

) surprised Vincent Teoh when he said that it didn't matter if the bias light was much much brighter than the 5 nits specified in the standard for mastering.

I actually enjoy your contributions!

I'm a big fan of JVC's new NX7 or NX9 and as you likely know it pairs up beautifully with Panasonic's new UB9000 as JVC and Panasonic engineers worked together and developed two custom profiles to extort all of the disc information to rebuild the best possible HDR cinema experience.

[avs commenter]

So TCL, who sells some of the cheapest TV's available and I assume has a pretty small market share, is one of the only brands with universal HDR?

Robert that is appreciated!

I have been a projector person for many years so most of the HDR is lost to me on my current setup (Sony VPL-VW600 projector, Oppo UDP-203 and Sony UBP-X1000ES). I have downloaded and read all the HDR10 and Dolby Vision files I can find but without firsthand experience with a HDR10/Dolby Vision display I do not feel I have anything to offer in this thread.

I am waiting to see what Kris Deering has to say about the BenQ and what CEDIA 2019 may bring.

71,000 views in 21 days still is a very good average; we are all still learning.

I’ll try to post the final viewership tally for this month later tonight.

Hope people aren’t just clicking in for a look then clicking out.

The in-depth information here about HDR & HFR can help most make informed decisions about equipment purchases and content choices.

To me Penton the value is in the learning process and the good humor mix life related.
Brief the overall High Caliber Participation and Contribution from Insiders (HCPCI).

The viewing numbers are just that, numbers.

What I like the most is your positive attitude in inviting everyone to participate in all their own lifestyle.

I learn more about HDR here than anywhere else. And I also like the freedom, the relaxing temple, the free zone without bombarding advertisements, ...it's one of the best atmosphere anywhere, and it's human too. This is how civilised people interact in real life.

Without you present here and your generous and fun joie de vivre this thread wouldn't be the same. You make it shine with dexterity, agile direction...because it's you, your good character in life.

I wouldn't worry too much about the number of views, I wouldn't worry about anything.
It is already extraordinary. What is couple thousand views more or less per week, it's nothing. It is already something.

TCL has about 1/3rd of the global market share.

Well, when your primary market is a billion+ people then that's not such a stretch, nor is it any indicator of a quality product.
