As soon as we have discs, it will go on sale. We gave Sony the thumbs up last week, so we should have discs in 2-3 weeks. Until we have inventory, I don't want to provide a date. At CES, we thought we would have it out in March. Discs are actually being pressed now, so it is real.

I don't recall how the last thread was created. It might have been created by an admin. I don't want to get in trouble by creating my own thread. As it is, I am nervous about posting in this thread, which is why I am trying to limit my posts to just answering questions. I don't want to violate forum rules with advertising, etc...

I was gonna say it's not so much personal advertising that's the issue, it's if you're advertising things offsite that directly counter what this site does - reviews and whatnot - that they get the hump about it. But you're a content creator, not reviewer, so shill away! And if the site gets a few shekels from people clicking through their links to buy the disc from amazon or whatever then I'm quite sure they won't mind.

In any case: ME WANTEE

Yes look forward to seeing it. And I hope available widely, not just US!

Katatonia · 06-04-2019, 02:51 AM

Awesome!! The older Blu-ray version of the disc was worth every penny...and then some.

Posts like this drive clicks and traffic, the site should be happy. Can't wait to buy!

koberulz · 06-04-2019, 02:06 PM

This is literally the first I'm hearing of this, what did I miss?

LordoftheRings · 06-04-2019, 06:27 PM

You missed nothing; we are @ the evolution's edge of HDR.
With this disc we'll advance further more; about time.

I calibrated my VT30 with it the day I got it. Iconic disc.

Can't wait for its 4K successor.

avs commenter · 06-05-2019, 06:36 PM

I have a Vizio and was under the impression the calibrated settings already on the TV are the most accurate for HDR and messing with them can really throw things off

LordoftheRings · 06-05-2019, 06:45 PM

Every serious HDR TV should include a reference HDR video calibration disc in the box.

For some bizarre reason VIZIO clips whiter than whites. Even in SDR. I had to dial contrast down to 45 to avoid clipping.

FilmFreakosaurus · 06-05-2019, 07:09 PM

Cool! I'm in!

Yes. With Contrast at 50 in HDR, my 2017 Vizio M clips at around 1 000 nits. Dialing back to 47 preserves details to 4 000 nits, and 45 will get you all the way to 10 000.

When the link goes live, could Amazon.ca be an option?

grodd · 06-06-2019, 05:53 PM

Day one!

meglos · 06-06-2019, 09:54 PM

Will this disc be useful if the user doesn't have test equipment and is adjusting by eye?

joenostalgia23 · 06-06-2019, 11:39 PM

Nice I’ve been eagerly awaiting S&M in 4K.
