well, no problemo for here you go….

I can see all the letters. Does that make me special, pa?

Also, seeing all the letters is dependent on how you adjust the contrast and brightness of your monitor.

For my last eye test, I turned up early. “I have come for my eye test” I said. The guy replied “You are in the butchers son”.

“Oh, in that case, I will have a pound of bacon”
He said “Lean back?”
I did and I fell over.

sorry.

Hopefully, the refs rein in players like Ramos so there is not a repeat of something like the ’66 or '70 World Cup…

in better quality than ^ is the Pele biopic….. https://www.amazon.com/Pele-Birth-Le.../dp/B01F9H7QIW , cinematography by Matty (Cal State Fullerton alumnus, for locals) - https://twitter.com/mattylibatique/s...873024?lang=en

At the time of this posting, month of May viewership for this thread maths out to a tad more than 68,000 views. Perhaps we’ll reach 69,000 by midnight PST (total at end of April was ~ 1,090,030). Not shabby at all for a transitional month leading into the summer holiday season, which I think traditionally has less activity.

Congrats to all the readers and contributors (https://forum.blu-ray.com/misc.php?d...osted&t=276605) and I pleasantly notice a couple of new-to-the-thread guys participated in May.

Default What is HDR10+?

https://www.highdefdigest.com/news/s...is-hdr10/41749
Quote:
HDR10+ dynamic metadata, on the other hand, can adjust brightness levels, color saturation, and contrast on a … frame-by-frame basis
Quote:
Amazon assured me that all Prime HDR videos do indeed automatically play in HDR10+ on supported Samsung TV models
Quote:
20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. have also announced their support for HDR10+. No specific titles have been announced yet, but both companies are expected to release Ultra HD Blu-ray discs … content with HDR10+ later this year.
Which of the above statements is probably false? Could it be all of the above?

Maybe a better title for the article is “Where is HDR10+?”
