Lol yeah, D-Nice's post comes off as just a pinch hostile there, yeah?

I'm sure hoping he means he would just yell at him in person, but who knows lol. I don't know the man.

Lol maybe. I’m glad he shares his findings but a lot of people treat him like he’s the pope of TVs if TVs were a religion. It’s almost weird.

It's human nature. TVs, lawnmowers, people will flock to any person they consider an authority. Heck you can see the adoration on these boards for a certain forum kitty in the cat and dog home right now.

Well if D-Nice wants to have it out with Vincent...

So what's the beef? Did Vincent use some publicly available calibration settings and not give credit to the guy who spent 5 minutes fiddling around with his remote?

Dnice dose not fiddle around he knows what he is doing so saying that he does is asinine.

Part of their disagreement was DV HDR. Vincent said there was a clear difference between player led and tv led dolby vision profiles. He made a video on it, and called out D-Nice on that video and claimed that D-Nice said there was no visual difference. Whether D-Nice said that or not, I do not know. That's one of their disagreements, and calling him out in a video, probably brought it to a head.

Regardless, with a threat like that, D-Nice shouldn’t expect any favors/perks/consultant creds from a smart AV company. Especially, if in his anger during said “DEEP conversation”, he coldcocks Vincent at a show being there also as a representative of some company and causes Teoh to suffer a retinal detachment, as Vincent would likely sue him, as well as the ‘deep pockets’ entity and do quite well in settlement.

Anyway, since I doubt either of these individuals are trained in whichever type of physicality - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...o#post18634864 , if this situation were to escalate and both are motivated to not turn the other cheek, it would be interesting to see who is/or can hire a better hacker, as just about anyone or any business entity can be hacked if one throws enough resources into the project and I suppose both have their share of internet enemies so deniability on the part of the culprit could work.

I could see that... Vincent with a quick duck of the first swing and an uppercut to finely recalibrate D-Nice's jaw?

It would be fun to watch them get into a full WWE style brawl.

"Bah God!! It's D-Nice with the steel chair!...but Vincent countered with a low blow! He's setting up for the powerbomb! Oh my God! Vincent just powerbombed D-Nice through the shootout panels display!"

It’s not really funny that this is how this tech stuff has gotten. During the hd dvd blu ray war days I got my life threatened a couple of times not on this forum a different one. It’s why I hardly post anymore it had taken the fun out of tech it’s just a piece of electronics it’s should not be life or death. Do I get annoyed at some people yes of course we all do but I would never want to fight some one over it It’s sad that it has come to this.

I don't think he means to physically fight him. Oh the HD-DvD days. I think there were some releases in African countries, and even then the HD-DvD fanatics were still buying them over Blu-ray. Like HD-DvD was obviously a closed platform out the gate. Blu-ray media could and, has continued to evolve.

*Insert HD-DvD montage here*

CA, eh?
I tend to pay more attention to people in real life multi-talented personal situations. For instance, there is a young guy (who I know of socially thru his father) who, after being a MMA pro (retired undefeated, albeit after a very short career in the sport due to his more studious pursuits) went on to now practice law in the Long Beach area and is an Associate - https://www.cktfmlaw.com/associates/

Although, I’ve tended to hang with those sporting barristers more my age who were of the non-fisticuffs variety, but damn good flag football players during their time at Georgetown Law, e.g. https://www.proskauer.com/professionals/scott-cooper

If you must fantasize, if memory serves, D-Nice is a bit huskier than Vincent, so I’d go with D-Nice as the likely ‘winner’ in a brawl.
P.S.
…..unless of course, Vincent fights like a girl -

then D-Nice is doomed.

I really appreciate Vincent's testing, especially in regards to gaming.

I also like that D-Nice is willing to answer questions and provide his recommended settings.

The whole feud thing (and ensuing fanboyism) is ridiculous. I'll take good info where I can find it.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong because I’m not an avid follower of either of these two individuals, but Vincent seems to offer much more in terms of a range of topics , rather than solely the nuanced calibration of consumer televisions.

Of which, for that matter, consumer television calibrators, with few exceptions over the years seem to avoid the issue of drift, which is something of import in the professional realm if you’re really serious about persistent image quality; otherwise, why are we paying these guys every several months to check and recalibrate monitors in color and editing bays. I think you’ve also got to hand it to Vincent in that despite obstacles , he evolved his AV career building by becoming quite popular and thriving on YouTube.

Sometimes you just have no choice but to get physical with someone. TV settings is obviously one of those things you don't joke about unless you want the smoke.
