I haven't noticed any problems with this method, though. Sound seems to come from the center, because my speakers are positioned more or less correctly. |

The detail is great! I loved seeing the scene where Michael drives past Loomis. He actually looks both ways before turning onto the street! What a surprisingly conscientious driver...

Strange that you don't get the comb filtering effect playing mono tracks from the left and right fronts -- almost every system I've heard, even those with expertly-placed, toed-in and spaced left/right mains, exhibit this off-putting effect when dialogue stems, action, foley and everything else is stuffed and divided between the front channels. |

Lionsgate did a fine job with this. But hey, don't 'upgrade' or whatever, since the pumpkin during the opening credits isn't as orange or some shit. ![]() |

Perhaps you could explain this combing effect a bit more; maybe I should listen for it intentionally to see if it's there. |

https://www.gearslutz.com/board/newb...atibility.html Notably: Mono out of 2 speakers gives you massive comb filtering. Just play some pink or white noise and move your head side to side and hear for yourself how drastically the sound changes. That's never an issue with single speaker "true" mono, which is why I prefer one speaker for mono. The comb filtering won't be a problem with headphones because your ears will be fixed equidistant from the drivers (assuming you wear them correctly), so that's not a bad way to go. * I see now that this wasn't that great of an explanation regarding comb filtering; let me see if I can dig up more info... In a proverbial nutshell, comb filtering causes a strange "echo" effect when playing, say, 2.0 mono (or 1.0 mono) tracks from the two main channels...I've heard it on every one of my systems, like clockwork, and even (as I stated) heard it on demo setups at trade shows when gear was "expertly set up." The dialogue sounds downright WEIRD coming from the two mains; it's difficult to describe, but comb filtering is most off-putting. Last edited by IntelliVolume; 10-01-2018 at 08:19 PM. |

I own over 40 4K discs and most of them are spectacular and grain free, including many back catalog titles. But honestly, for me, the deal breaker for Halloween in 4K was how pale it looked. dead. no colors. Can't watch it. |

I'm just going by the way you're responding to people on here today, pal. I get what you mean when you say: People crying about audio on a UHD release. What else is new. Not to mention that guy’s post was within the context of PQ. Also, I’ll use that word any time I please. Because this place can be absolute cancer at times. As evident in the last several pages of this thread. ...because the reference to "cancer" can indeed be an accurate one when describing what goes on in this forum at times (and depending on the thread). I will give you that. It's just a little harsh to read when someone may have been personally touched by the affliction, or lost many relatives/friends/spouse et al to the "big casino" as it's called. That's all I'm pointing out. However, the reference to insulting the other member for not being able to afford something was uncalled for IMO. Last edited by IntelliVolume; 10-01-2018 at 08:16 PM. |

Until I get a nicer center speaker (hopefully soon!) I'll keep doing it the way I'm doing it, but I appreciate the clarification. I do concede that mono from one speaker is (obviously) the superior way to go, I only do it the way I do it because my center speaker buckles when there is music + sound effects + dialog, etc. Just not clear enough in those circumstances. On that subject, any recommendations for nice center speakers? I suppose I'd have to upgrade the whole setup, but if I could get away with just swapping the center speaker, I'd love to, as I do love my L and R speakers. |

Additionally -- after watching an old film with its mono track coming from the center only, it really makes you appreciate the full force satisfaction of a 5.1+-channel soundtrack if you listen to one immediately following the older title. ![]() If your center buckles during mono playback because all elements are being pushed through it -- music, foley, dialogue, etc. -- you definitely need to beef this part of your system up. However, my center slightly distorts a bit whenever I push the volume of these mono mixes up too high -- you have to be careful with the volume sometimes. So there is some validity in your observations. Quote:

Well the best thing I can tell is to resell it on ebay as a used item and take a small loss, or give it to somebody as a gift... A man's junk is another man's treasure! Last edited by slimdude; 10-01-2018 at 10:08 PM. |

Received my UK copy today, just watched the first 10 minutes...
Anyone else noticing the horrendous and clearly obvious banding issue? It starts about 3:15 as Michael is prowling outside the Myers house and continues & worsens as he enters the back of the house. Never seen anything like this on a UHD before, the black area at the bottom of the screen is darkening in steps upwards as the shot pans. Happens in a few shots of the Smith's Grove section too. I've had a brief look through the rest of the film and haven't seen it anywhere else. Anyone else with the UK disc confirm this issue? Surely if it was on the US release somebody would've mentioned it. Thanks Last edited by Dickieduvet; 10-01-2018 at 09:14 PM. |
