Just not here, but over there ... while listening to music.

I didn't see Raya, just yet.

It is amazing that we are seeing Mars live, and in 4K, with remote controls from Earth. But Earth is a much nicer planet, more colorful and diversified. We just need to clean up the toxic garbage created by man.

...And by nature too; some created by nature of man. ...Texas?

haven’t checked it out yet, too busy, but looking forward to the diversity of content being offered - https://ir.viacomcbs.com/streamingevent
And hoping for more and more HDR material over time

Free SMPTE deep dive today into 'Rethinking Color Measurement….What problems do we encounter when measuring HDR displays'?
should be easy and quick registration for non-members here - https://www.smpte.org/webcast/rethin...ment?hsLang=en

Note to questioner John in the ^ Q&A at about the 40 min. timestamp, this is the not officially standardized alternative color model you inquired about -
https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.p...postcount=3361
(JzAzBz)

addendum:
John's question was posed at 25:50 timestamp in the webcast replay rather than ~ 40 min. mark as noted above.

Last edited by Penton-Man; 06-08-2021 at 07:34 PM. Reason: added an addendum as to the precise timestamp on the replay

A binoscope provides a full aperture to both eyes and the general perception is of 1.4x brightness enhancement. No 3D. Brighter enhancement lets you see further out into space and more detail on closer objects.

Are you kidding me? I’m not like you rich guys who, without missing a beat, can afford to chase, no matter the company, the best TV of 20xx, year after year.

I only know one Pablo (scroll to bottom) - https://acescentral.com/meet-the-men...aging-mission/ and he’s not my lawn man. My guy for that is Felipe and he brings his own tools.
