There's nothing wrong with the title. Maybe stop taking it too literal? You can say that about any thread on here.
Sap, did you get a chance to view Michael's presentation at HPA which I linked?

Yup, there's an extraordinary amount of preciousness in this area of the forum for some weird reason.

Whether that was a dig at me championing the Panasonic UHD player or not I don't know (might as well get started early ) but it's more the thread police b*tching about diversions from topic that my comment was in reference to.

This thread has had discussion about, soccer, cars, women, and plenty of other things besides "4K movies releases." Why now he chooses to think about the discussion not matching the thread title i have no idea.

Ahahaha one comment and I'm the thread police "b*tching" about things. Oh you oversensitive soul, do you need a safe space from my minor suggestion?

Obviously the thread can do whatever it wants, I'm a nobody on this planet like pretty much everyone else here. But perhaps you and others, as human beings behind the names, should re-evaluate the level of anger and shock you felt when some DIRTY NON-REGULAR dared to mention out how unfocused your hangout thread is to those who just use this site and it's (very helpful) forums for information. I'll just rely on regular threads to inform plebs like me of when things are coming out on the format and keep on with my life.

Anyone who spends the time to gather thousands of posts on an Internet forum needs a checkup from the neck up. Typical keyboard warriors who post the same inane drivel and hide behind silly on screen names.

If you need informed opinions, look elsewhere my friend. This place is like the Wild West and it suits those that can hide fine. Try AVS forum if you like organised on topic discussion and something like thedigitalbits.com. All good places for regular, reliable news

It's not just about you precious, which you'd be aware of if you didn't just poke your head in here to moan.

Still, best not go on about it too much or the usual suspects will hit the report button again for other people DARING to deviate from topic

Yeah, I sense jealous hostility in the air to the thread’s success , simple as that. All info posted here meets the highest degree of precision and accuracy.

Let’s see…running total now of over 42,000 views for this 4K potpourri thread in less than a week’s time and I’ve got a workshop today and a SMPTE section meeting tomorrow to attend, so I’ll be in absentia….could still hit the 45,000 milestone of last week if well informed, well intentioned contributors partake.

Keep up the good work.


P.S.
Note to Richard, first draft of ICtCp for our favorite codec just went up a couple days ago. Please do not share, it's all unreliable.

You'd think to get thousands you'd have to waste your life away online with the way you talk. I joined in 2010 and have thousands of posts yet I only average 2.5 posts a day. Hardly a hard feat to pull off. Hey look this is 1 of my 2.5 for the day.

Don't bother AW, that was aimed squarely at one unnamed person, just as my posts are in return. Man, the restrictions on personal attacks make this passive aggressive shit real tiring. Still, at least I managed not to insult thousands of other forum members in the process.

Come to think of it, that sort of accountability also carries over in conversation with other members (in this case a retailer Insider) on other threads too.

Reminds me, where the heck is Robert Z. and when exactly (the date) is that dang consumer 4KTV shootout?

That's pretty cool definitely a small world. How long ago was that? Whenever I'm on vacation and someone asks where are you from I used to say NEPA and they didn't know what I meant so I now just say the area that The Office took place in haha.

Not listed in the Tech specs on imdb, because there are no Tech specs on it yet, is that the DP for The Great Wall (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2034800/)
used the Alexa 65 on the project.

This here passengers movie does name the 65….http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1355644/
