4K Blu-ray Confirmed, Coming in

[Geoff D]

its all about the wow bro

[spectre08]

serious question. Why the crap do computer monitors seem to be lagging so far behind tvs?

even just trying to find a monitor with the same color space as the new tvs is craaaazy expensive.

Silly question, but if a disc has Dolby Vision and the UHD Blu-Ray player does not support it (like the Samsung), what does that mean for the playback of the disc?

[DanBa]

It could decode the 10-bit HDR10 base layer part of the 12-bit dual-layer Dolby Vision disc.

Ah okay, so the Dolby Vision is just an extra bonus basically.

Good marketing by Panasonic:

- “My world of visual storytelling is based around color accuracy and the need for a display that compliments the creative vision. Panasonic has engineered their newest 4K Pro OLED TV to a standard that I would only expect in professional displays," says Mike Sowa.

Note that the Panasonic does not meet the criteria for UHD Alliance Premium Certification; the new 2016 OLED s do.

Panasonic Measured DCI-P3 coverage 86% 2016 LG OLEDs claim 99% DCI-P3. Time to wait for pro reviews. Maybe LG can get Sowa to moonlight for them.

Would be interesting to see what standard Pana/Sony engineers could deliver with 2016 LG panel.

For most people there would be little point in buying a computer monitor that has features that won't work in Windows 10. Hopefully Microsoft will add support for HDR/WCG to Windows 11.

For the near term I would try to find a small TV/Monitor that has HDR/WCG. If it does those then it is assumed that it is at least 10 bit, 040h(64) to 3ACh(940) and will do 000h(0) to 3FCh(1023) for computer use.

But you can pre-order the discs.

Yeah...that's a good plan.

For the last 6 months, I got the distinct feeling that people in charge of content weren't talking to people in charge of hardware. This is what happens.

There won't be a Windows 11.
Just updates to 10.


I have a feeling that will be a video card type support update, not at an OS level necessarily.

Once Apple releases OS 10, you bet your @ss MS will 11 up them.

You're not up on your Roman Numerals I see.


OS-X has been out since 2001

That might be possible with video games but even than it might cause problems. The only good way to support HDR/WCG on a computer would be to support it at the operating system level. I guess that a service pack update could make the necessary changes. I haven't heard anything from Microsoft but Apple has started introducing support for WCG (DCI P3 and Rec. 2020).
