BTW I still haven't watched the first season on UHD

Shame on you Geoff. Get her done

Just like with the first season, I'll end up getting both, but I'll wait for the BD one to hit $10 or less. The reason I bought it today at it's $29.99 price, even though I know it'll eventually be cheaper, was because I had two things for the B2G1 promotion and I saw it being put out and decided to make it the third item in the promotion.

Also, I saw about 8-10 in the box the employee was unloading. I think they were all the 4K/BD version since all the spines looked the same.

Great pics!

Doesn't look like it'll come with slipcase, but mimicking VHS clamshell from video rental stores.

Question, I wonder if the BTS pics included will be different from the bluray/DVD set as those has two different posters.

No indication on the package or the discs of HDR. What a shame they dropped the ball again. I'll hold off until the reviews come out. Too many proper 4K discs out there to buy.
If I miss out, I miss out. Wasn't that impressed with Season 2 anyway. Netflix seems to ignore their customer's complaints about no HDR. Fine. No first day purchase for me. I'll pick up a used 4K copy in March from an Amazon vendor if I feel I really need to add it to my collection. I can wait.

According to the packaging, these discs are region free, unlike season one? Wonder if that's just regarding the 4K discs?

KazzPetrelli · 10-30-2018, 10:32 PM

Fantastic news! Hopefully the audio for 4K HDR is not Dolby Digital just like season 1

nickersonw · 10-30-2018, 10:56 PM

I've only checked the 4K disc 1, so far I can confirm:
1 skippable trailer for Lost in Space
HDR10

[Show spoiler]

DTS-HD MA (I'll assume 5.1, my player doesn't specify and I'm only using a 2.1 setup)

[Show spoiler]

English (CC) subtitles (I don't think anyone asked, but that's very important to me)

[Show spoiler]

guachi · 10-30-2018, 10:59 PM

I'm in for this or the blu-ray. Especially if it's a stupid cheap price on Black Friday.

I'm in like Flynn for the 4k set now!

HDR10 at the very least and DTS MA 5.1 for the audio.

Your player shows it's DTS MA 5.1 because it says Multichannel. That normally means the track is greater than stereo and the package stated DTS MA 5.1 on the back of the case.

Where did you get that HDR notification? S1 had this one as well, but when you start the actual episode there's no HDR to be found.

Season 1:

Quote:

When you put the disc in your player, a "HDR" notification pops up during the FBI warning, however, once the preview trailers start in standard SDR 1080p and the main menus pull up, that HDR setting disappears.

Does the show itself have an HDR grade, or just the trailer for Lost in Space?

Because the first season on UHD, also had a skippable trailer for the second season of Stranger Things, which was in HDR, but then the show itself was SDR.

nickersonw · 10-30-2018, 11:08 PM

I got HDR pop ups for the FBI warning, Lost in Space, Menu, and First Episode. The one I posted a picture of is the beginning of the first episode.

I shall be buying this set.

Want both this and season 1 but have a hard time justifying it when it will probably be on Netflix for a long time. And PQ is great through Netflix already.

Might consider it if I could get both for $25 or so.

How'd you get it early? Do the actual disc's have any type of hdr labeling?

Oh, the discs are definitely better than the streamed version. The bitrate tells the story somewhat as they have multiple times the video bitrates of the streamed files. The audio has a richer, punchier quality too. Netflix employs a kind of audio dynamic leveling on their streamed tracks and that can dumb things down besides the bitrate issue.

No. Just audio specs on the back of the case. The OP is showing HDR10 encoding. He got lucky, I guess?

A manager (I'm guessing) came over scanned it with his handheld device and said it had a street date listed as September 7th. He couldn't get it to add it to my checkout, so he just rang up the 1st season 4K set since it was the same price ($29.99).

I didn't know there was 2nd season release until I saw it today, so I assumed it was released today, but I guess not. I can post some more pictures later if people are interested.

I do not see anything on the discs about HDR.

scorpiontail60 · 10-31-2018, 12:41 AM

Of course it's going to have HDR ya ding dongs

The only reason why S01 didn't was because it was graded in SDR. Season 1 is only available in 4K SDR on Netflix too!

S02 was graded in HDR and it has HDR on Netflix.
