preservative free (PF) artificial tears:
Refresh Plus/Optive PF/Systane PF

Blink PF/Refresh Celluvise

P.S.
local colorist has run this list by a cornea/anterior segment specialist at a cutting edge teaching hospital in SoCal who concurs with the choices

As mentioned on Robert's shootout thread, would have been nice if he could have included in the shootout a short evaluation for this phenomenon given it appears he has a decent sample size of observers.

Ok I have an LG OLED TV. Clearly ultra HD with HDR

I thought i could tell the resolution Netflix is playing but i can see it or find it my controller has no option either. I do have the ultra HD plan with streaming set to High. Anyone to verify the resolution?

and the findings turn out to be the same also for men, turn off the TV before you go to sleep.

gkolb, bruceames et. al, where are you?
This by the Kaleidescape rep at Robert’s shootout today sounded rather unsettling regarding physical media at ~ the 6h36m51sec timestamp – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dckeYOaQYs#t=6h36m51s

I hope it doesn’t ignite further ‘the sky is falling threads’ which seem to crop up every now and then.

He's not wrong, I just don't think it's going to disappear overnight.

Geoff – honest, sobering comments like yours will not get you many ‘thank you’s or ‘likes’. You do see how well my metamerism posts with regards to WCG or the revelation of actually how difficult it was to get the experts to accept PQ HDR back in the day – https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...m#post16508980

went over, don’t you?

online registration is for today’s HPA NET conference on uprezzing and SDR -> HDR conversions is now closed, but there will be onsite registration available.

I’ve read this paper from the SID 2019 (June) Symposium Digest of Technical Papers -



and I’d like to see if their ^ conclusions as ascribed to the value of 8K televisions at the 9 ft. viewing distance (and more importantly, beyond, which is more typical for many of us) be independently corroborated with real world UHD Blu-ray movie content (rather than specially rendered static images) by more than 6 folks (their study) with the observers having absolutely no affiliation to consumer TV manufacturers including potential indirect perks (that includes AV journalists) before I jump into purchasing an 8K tv for home viewing.

Nah, just sales speak. He needs to check his facts about BD sales vs DVD sales. Did you get the part where they are doing their own UHD/4K titles? I would wager a steak they are not bit for bit of the same title on UHD BD, even the well to do would not want to wait for a UHD BD download .

Another error, most of the time when I see a digital release that precedes a DVD/BD/UHD BD release, that time is only 2 weeks and only some studios do this.

Someone should have informed him that UltraViolet is shutting down as well as Sony Ultra streaming.

The Kaleidescape downloads are approximately the same file size as a physical disc.

[Kool-aid23]

Question for those in the know. Is there a reason why Kaleidescape doesn't use Dolby Vision? Are they in the same boat as Disney with why they aren't releasing DV on disk (since downloads are the same size)?

[sapiendut]

Kaleidescape is used mostly in projector based home theatre. There is no need for DV.
