Notice that our posts are separated by 42 minutes, which is significant, of course, by the number 42 and it being the answer to the life, the universe, and everything.

Let it be known heretofore that I have therefore smitten thee, Jostenmeat, with the great sword of Amazon.

Default Sorry for the noob question....

But how exactly do I use this? Do I need extra equipment, or do I just get the Blu Ray and watch it and do my own settings?

I wish I knew.

The tests look really cool!

I have no idea what to do with them!

Methinks I need a nice video processor to even begin. Most likely some training as well. Oops.

mperfct, do you have an idea on how you're going to implement these tests?

I seriously just bought it on a whim with barely any research for two reasons. Because mperfct did, and because Oppo sells them (which led me to believe it must be a good disc. Problem is that it's wasted on me. )
