It does support Dolby Vision; see page 22 of its manual:

Page 52 of the manual says it is HDMI 2.0.

My oppo 203 doesn't support HDR10+, either, IIRC, so I certainly can't fault Tascam for not supporting it, either.

Ok they should revise their spec's because if you didn't read the manual it never stated that if only looking at the online product information. TY.

Actually the Oppo 203 does allow you to play HDR10+ that was added in a beta FW. But if your TV doesn't support it, you'll never know. Your AVR passes HDR10+ doesn't it?

1. Added the HDR10+ support. A HDR10+ enabled TV is required to view content in HDR10+.

I am only running the latest official firmware release for the oppo 203.

My oppo 203 sends its video directly to my TV, a Sony 85" X900F, and I am pretty sure that my TV does not support HDR10+. I don't know offhand if my Marantz SR7013 passes HDR10+ or not, but as my TV likely does not support it; it seems rather a moot point.

That was his plan. Technically it is 1.66:1 from what I read. Going to be pretty weird on a 2.35:1 screen in my setup.

One other 4K note today: Readers have been asking us when Zack Snyder’s Justice League is expected to be released on 4K. Early indications from retailers had suggested a March release, timed to coincide with the extended film’s 3/18 debut on HBO Max. But those indications have pulled back a bit of late. Our guess is that AT&T and Warner would prefer a period of exclusivity on HBO Max before releasing the film on disc. For comparison, Wonder Woman 1984 was available on HBO Max in December, and now the disc release is officially set for 3/30.

I noticed in the trailer that it looked narrow making this a definite try before I buy.

Whither the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray format?

May be old news, but I just found this.

That’s a awful, click bait article. Everyone with a brain knew that UHD would struggle in 2020. How could it not with so few releases? No sense piece but there are plenty of them imo.

Folks, talking about each other is not part of the topic in this thread and will only lead to more fractious exchanges. Please keep things civil and on topic.

Thanks ~ QM

Kathryn Hahn talks "Wandavision," becoming part of Marvel universe | FOX 5 DC - YouTube

Love it when Kathryn Hahn (Agne) sees the interviewer collecting blu rays.

She refers to herself and husband as streaming streaming junkies but says they always wanted to have a blu-ray collection. Just a good example that many people out there are into both ways to watch content.

I apparently live under a rock as I still do not know what Wandavision is about. I will have to ask that internet thingy someday for more info.

I have never underdstood either. No Command or Distribpix.

No Opening of Misty Beethoven, Scoundrels, Foxtrot, Barbara Broadcast??? They are amazing movies!

Another excellent movie and great performances from both Pacino and Russell Crowe. It also starred Christopher Plummer, who sadly passed away just a few days ago.

The Insider is a flat out masterpiece!

see WandaVision Is Currently The Most Popular TV Show in the World - ScreenRant Feb 13th 2021

WandaVision is currently the most popular TV show in the world, according to Parrot Analytics. The series, which debuted in January, follows Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and her husband Vision (Paul Bettany) through a series of wacky hijinks and disturbing incidents in the mysterious town of Westview. Outside the town, the agency SWORD is investigating the anomaly surrounding it (also known as "The Hex"), which they believe to have been caused by Wanda’s superpowers. Evolving through decades of sitcom standards, the genre-bending metaseries explores Wanda’s deteriorating mental state and why she’s come to the town in the first place.

Parrot Analytics shared specific data that revealed WandaVision didn’t begin rising to the top of the heap until episode 3, when it became the "second or third" most in-demand series. It held in the top three until the release of episode 5. WandaVision's shocking cliffhanger helped skyrocket the show to the #1 spot, where it has remained according to Parrot Analytics' last available data. That being said, Disney+’s decision to release one episode of WandaVision per week (rather than the Netflix method of dropping an entire season at once) may have also contributed to the series’ growing popularity.

Agreed. Especially Command. They have all been lavish releases. I even put the fridge magnets on my fridge but take them down if I have female company!

You're not alone. I watched the first two episodes and gave up. I'll wait for Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
