but given the happily satisfied feedback from folks who watched the trailer, a shout out is also merited to Aerial DP - Michael FitzMaurice

That would be a Bactrian camel, native to the steppes of central Asia.
I do recall them from cartoons of the 40’s and 50’s. And maybe a travelogue.

I was about to type that. I’ve seen them in person before. They’re cute!

I know you were serious; there are one hump and two humps camel types.
It's only me who was humorous.

I know no Endgame thread. I know nothing. I know less than nothing.

Do you know any other thread that average between 6,000 and 8,000 views every single day? There is only one Penton-Hump-man, not two. There is only one HDR-Hump thread with that many views every day, not two.

I have noted in Sam's Club and Costco the Samsung QLED top of the line models now come with a five year warranty and the middle of the line models come with a three year warranty.

I read this early in the day. About time LG feels the burn from consumers that are fed up with burn in and discovering there warranty doesn't cover burn in. But the word has been put out there. Even rtting and other sites now say in there reviews burn in is a problem. The truth is LG will never fix this problem because they can't , nobody can . The nature of this technology being organic bites itself in the ass. But that not the only issue with oled.The pixels themselves being organic degrade in time. the ABL is hasn't been fixed. Well the cat is now out of the bag. Lack of Sales of oled tvs has forced LG to drop there price points Which means they are losing money. Which will mean maybe they drop oled altogether Don't think they won't, companies are in this to make tons of money..Even if they offer replacement on the panels that have burn in , they lose money.This is what you get when your dishonest with consumers. I have seen people on this site and others blame the guy who gets burn in saying well i'm not getting burn in so it's your fault. well guess what burn in is real ,it can and will happen to every oled owner out there in time. Maybe not tomorrow or maybe not this year or next , but it will happen. That right there should piss the oled owner off ,not bash another oled owner. Beside oleds days are numbered because micro led is around the corner and if that technology turns out what they are saying, happens , oled goes away in a few years. King of tvs you might say, not so much. If I sound like i'm glotting , I am because I'm sick of companies lying and ripping off consumers. When you have to baby sit a f in TV something is horribly wrong.

[LordoftheRings]

OLED TVs are disposable video electronics, like plasma TVs were, like cell phones, like any consumer toy. Some last longer, others don't. LED TVs aren't better, they have their flaws too.

@ the prices where we can get a 4K TV today (50" and 75") for less than $200 and $700 respectively, we can buy one every week of the year. Next week it'll be even cheaper.

Just make sure it supports HDR

nope I don’t, we indeed rock here!
for deserving readers, I’ve tried to educate and generally inform folks waaaay before social media or traditional journalistic websites have reported such things, be it regarding Top Gun: Maverick - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post15897776

or the fundamental building block of this thread - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...ar#post9754213, although folks didn't fully appreciate the significance of it at the time

the downside is that extraordinary success can breed jealously and contempt by the malcontents in life manifested by dismissiveness, marginalization or even overt attacks, for example like for highly successful Tom (Cruise) read the reddit thread about the Theodore Roosevelt carrier (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...y#post16105908 ) shoot…..just hold your nose tightly while perusing 99% of it
