    Oppo BDP-203 Ultra HD Blu-ray Player Sneak Preview

    Two reasons: The eBay seller will ship to you in a location where the product is otherwise unavailable or expensive due to taxes anyway. The eBay seller is performing a value-add like switching out or modifying hardware to allow for region-free playback.

    Advise TV shopping

    This was the year to go to 4K, because the 2016 models finally support what I would consider the "final for now" Ultra HD specs (4K, HDR10, wide color space) plus source devices to match: reasonably priced 4K Blu-ray players and streaming services. Even a 1080p Blu-ray source will look better...

    Epson's 2016 Budget Friendly 4K Enhanced Projector Preview

    I play games on a different system. Some 4K TVs also have game-affecting lag so you need to do your research if that is important for the type of games you play.

    Parasound Volume Pot part two

    The reality is extremely far from this statement. Except for a few cases, the majority of sales are still made by brick and mortar stores. And for expensive equipment this is even more so because people want to try before they buy. Audio gear auditions happen, as do audition at home before you...

    Epson's 2016 Budget Friendly 4K Enhanced Projector Preview

    Pixel shift isn't upscaling. It's taking the 4K pixels (4x the amount of pixels as 1080p) and kind of removing half of them so now you have 2x the pixels of 1080p, and showing that. You're not making more information by guessing, which is what upscaling does. That being said, it's still clear...

    Marantz AV8802A and HDR-10 Pass Through

    Good luck. I am interested to hear what you find out.

    Parasound Volume Pot part two

    I believe there tend to be two reasons for this. First is to ensure there is value add from a dealer sale and control over the supply chain. You do not want people buying from unauthorized dealers who may provide incorrect information, not represent your product the way you want, or who are not...

    Epson's 2016 Budget Friendly 4K Enhanced Projector Preview

    There is still a very noticeable improvement in picture quality with 4K e-shift technology, and the post-processing provided for image enhancement of 1080p content on a 4K e-shift projector if you so desire. I'm on a 106" screen at ~10ft. away. I would not knock the benefit of a Faux-K projector...

    Marantz AV8802A and HDR-10 Pass Through

    Not exactly. The display sends out its EDID, anything in between is supposed to pass along the EDID (or if there is more than one involved then it has to decide what EDID to reconstruct before sending it along), and then the player decides on its own what to send. If the player sends something...

    Marantz AV8802A and HDR-10 Pass Through

    Reading through this again, I think maybe Marantz CS is saying there is a problem with turning HDMI UHD Color ON. I guess you could try setting it OFF and see what happens, but the TV manual implies you won't get HDR if turned off. And if this is only a problem when the AV8802A is in the signal...

    Marantz AV8802A and HDR-10 Pass Through

    I meant what cable are you using between the Roku Ultra and the AV8802A. You need two cables. The AV8802A is acting as a repeater/retransmitter so it shouldn't matter in terms of total length as long as the two cables are high-speed and individually capable. I am passing a 4Kp60 RGB 12-bit...

    Marantz AV8802A and HDR-10 Pass Through

    What cable are you using between the Roku Ultra and the AV8802A? You might need to make sure you're still using an 18Gbps HDMI cable. It does sound like your 35' cable satisfies that requirement. The only good way I know of to debug this is with an HDFury Integral box that lets you see the EDID...

    OLED: Is LG the only company that has OLED displays?

    OLED: Is LG the only company that has OLED displays?

    You're still totally confused. OLED is a display technology and UHD is a display specification. You can get an OLED display that does not satisfy the UHD spec. The PS Vita OLED for example. Or first generation OLED TVs. OLED means Organic Light Emitting Diode. If you had an OLED display that...

    Marantz AV8802A and HDR-10 Pass Through

    Did you make sure to set HDMI UHD Color to ON in the UN65JS9500 settings and use the HDCP 2.2 HDMI input? It may also depend on what the Roku Ultra wants to detect. That display doesn't support 4Kp60 4:4:4, only 4:2:2 or 4:2:0. The manual indicates it should support an HDR10 signal, specifically...

    Oppo Sonica DAC at RMAF 2016

    Did you get a chance to hear it? Maybe compared against the DAC implementation inside the HA-1 shown next to it?

    Marantz AV8802A and HDR-10 Pass Through

    I'm also using an Xbox One S right now. Your display has to support 18Gbps for the Xbox One S to do HDR. Which means all green checkmarks in the Advanced TV check screen on the Xbox One S. If your display is only 10Gbps and does not support 4Kp60 10-bit video then the Xbox One S will only do...

    JVC DLA-X550R Projector

    The DLA-X550R will not do DCI. You need the DLA-X750R (DLA-RS500U) for DCI.
