Is HDR capability worth it in non-oled panels? My thoughts.

Image
Hey everyone, I'd love your feedback on this, as I'm currently in the market for a new TV! I understand that HDR, even at its brightest, doesn't cause blooming on an OLED; the individually controlled pixels protect against this. But on an LCD/LED panel it can cause blooming, as seen on some Sony sets (X950G, X900F, X900E). Alternatively, this can be protected against with aggressive anti-bloom measures as seen on Samsung sets (Q70R, Q80R, Q90R, etc), but this often results in black crush...

Amp recommendation for KEF R3 (Hegel H90 vs Cambridge Audio CXA81)

Hey guys! I'm planning on buying a pair of KEF R3s (very good local deal and will buy without auditioning first unfortunately). I'm still trying to decide between KEF R3 and Monitor Audio Silver 200 but I'm definitely leaning towards the KEF. Especially since I will do the listening in an flat (room about 18 sqm) so the listening volume will be rather low and I think some bookshelf speakers would benefit me more than floorstanders (correct me if I'm wrong pls). Now the question is what amp... Amp recommendation for KEF R3 (Hegel H90 vs Cambridge Audio CXA81) from AVForums https://ift.tt/2xgd6DT

Hi all, Thinking about upgrading my centre channel speaker (currently a Polk CSiA6), and am mulling over a few different choices. I have it narrowed down to the following: KEF R2c KEF Q650c Monitor Audio Silver C350 I'm slightly leaning towards the R2c, but I haven't heard any actual feedback on the MA Silver C350 to be able to eliminate it from the list. What I'm mainly looking for is something that can play clear dialog at lower volume levels, but also accurate, and natural. No...

Upgrade from a Sony Bravia KDL42W7

Hello, everyone. I'm tentatively looking to upgrade from my current tv to something a little bigger and 4K. My current tv is about 6-7 years old (Still runs the Sony Entertainment Network which has removed all apps apart from Youtube, Netflix & Prime) apart from that it's still a great tv. It seems purchasing a new tv is an absolute minefield these days so I'd like some advice. Ideally I'd like something between 47-50 inches & 4K, Freeview Play/YouView would be nice too.

Musiccast or DTS Play-Fi

Complete multi-room newbie looking for some sage, Yoda-esque advice. I'm looking to finally replace my (very) old Pioneer system and try to tie in the replacement with a soundbar as well. Initial research had me leaning towards a Yamaha BAR 400 with some Musiccast 10 or Musiccast 020 speakers as add-ons for other rooms. I liked the idea of musiccast as I could also add an R-N402 receiver to the system as well. However - I then started reading about DTS Play-Fi and I really like that this...

What's Your Favourite Bridge Scene In A Movie?

Having had a lot of fun reading and adding to Andy Bassett's 'Scenes in An Elevator' thread, I thought I'd piggyback that idea with another variant - bridges. It can be a scene on or involving one, just something memorable and worth mentioning. It can be whatever you like, where a bigger set piece impressed you, or maybe it was a far smaller, more subtle moment. I won't be Captain Obvious, and instead I'll start with the bridge scene in a lesser known film - The Mothman Prophecies. Not the...

Twitter opens up data for researchers to study COVID-19 tweets

Twitter said that this access could also be used by approved applicants working on crisis management, emergency response or communication within communities, as well as those developing machine learning and data tools to help the scientific community understand COVID-19. Social media platforms have both introduced new policies to curb COVID-19 misinformation and warned that there may be errors due to their reliance on more automated moderation systems during the pandemic. Researchers studying the platforms have argued that the companies must collect data about this period. European Commissioner Vera Jourova called Twitter’s move “a good step in the right direction.” “Our cooperation and regular contacts with online platforms to fight disinformation are bearing fruit. I have constantly underlined the importance for researchers to have better access to useful non-personal data and tools,” she said. Last week, 75 groups and individuals, including digital rights and free speech organiz

'River monster': Huge African dinosaur Spinosaurus thrived in the water

Scientists on Wednesday announced the discovery of fossil bones from the tail of ​Spinosaurus in southeastern Morocco that provided a deeper understanding of the appearance, lifestyle and capabilities of the longest meat-eating dinosaur on record. “Spinosaurus had a highly specialized tail - a propulsive structure that would have allowed this river monster to actively pursue prey in the water column,” said University of Detroit Mercy paleontologist and anatomist Nizar Ibrahim, lead author of the study published in the journal Nature. Spinosaurus, which lived 95 million years ago during the Cretaceous Period, was a highly unusual dinosaur, and not just because of its staggering dimensions - up to 50 feet (15 meters) long and seven tons. The anatomy of Spinosaurus had remained mysterious for decades after crucial fossils were destroyed during World War Two until the 2008 discovery of the Morocco skeleton, with the additional tail bones dug up since 2015. Its tail was flexible with a

Hi! I have a problem with my new TCL ep685 - Whenever a scene goes dark, the screen dims darker. Its like some sort of auto brightness is always turned on. I can even see it when Im in the main menu and opens a grey/ dark menu - the screen will dim darker. Every "auto" settings is off, and I have tried every preset available. (movie, sport, HDR, Dynamic etc) Is there a way to turn this OFF? I would really appreciate your help! from AVForums https://ift.tt/39zC1An

Trying to transfer data between my two ps4s because one has a broken disk drive. I can't update the software because of this so can't put save game data online. I was thinking of buying an external hardrive to transfer just the game data between the two. Can I still do this despite not having the software updated?
