Wiki says that Tim Roth is from London (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Roth#Early_life).

There are people that say they can pick out accents to individual towns, but in the modern age where people travel so much and are exposed to so many different accents in the media, we seem to be on a long-running transition to some kind of "average" accent. It may take a century though. Having said that, I get a kick out of little children only a few years old, speaking with strong local accents; I've seen it happen with friends' children!

I really shouldn’t complain about Tim, as Texan Teeter is tougher to understand ….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFyjqvYMXWk#t=50s

Eh, despite spoilerizing the YouTube trailer as above ^, I’d thought folks reading on their phones and other devices would still be able to simply open and play the clip rather than going thru the trouble of copying and pasting it to a new window, so, to remedy that, here’s a quick direct look…..

a feature film slotted for a Dec. 25th theatrical launch, switched to streaming - https://variety.com/2020/film/news/p...us-1234773525/

talking streaming -
for those of you involved in video calls or conferences…..for great quality, if you have a 6D Mark II DSLR, use the new Canon web utility to turn it into a webcam….something previously not possible because clean HDMI sigs were only enabled on Canon’s higher end bodies

as he’s way easier for me to understand than Tim Roth, although I love Tim’s performances in various movies and shows.

Maybe Berkshire, perhaps? That's directly west of Lahndon but not so far west that you hit Bristol or Wales, you get a little tickle of an accent but nothing too strong.

Geoff, not in your neck of the woods, as it’s across the pond in New England, but Note to Kris Deering: Tell your Dad, that word Berkshires brings back memories - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsDLrdryBfY#t=3m3s

Maybe I’m confusing you with someone else? I thought you monitor Amazon, and in the past have held their feet to the fire for non-transparency or slow implementations of HDR. Not that that’s necessarily a bad thing….on the contrary, as it brings awareness to the situation(s), like puddy did above.

Talking monitoring……since public health and medicine - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...f#post18178478, as well as bedside surgical procedures (my brother-in-law discussed on the following page ^ ), is a BIG topic of recent discussion with my learned wife, Sony’s 27” LMD-X2705MD is compliant with BT.2020 color standards and when connected to an HLG input signal, the monitor can display HDR images - https://www.kebomed.no/files/473/lmd...md_x2705md.pdf
