[nervewrecker]

The HK sold out at the south branch last I heard. Not sure if any other branch stocks it.

[Anton]

Saw the HK in the Arima branch recently.

Didn't see it posted before, this might be in your next tv.

Dolby Vision

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ finally!
too often people disregard picture quality for bells and whistles.

Dolby Vision is effectively HDR or High Dynamic Range which has become popular in photography, but now it's for video.

http://www.cnet.com/news/high-dynamic-r ... nd-beyond/



"High dynamic range
Expanding contrast ratio, or the dynamic range of the TV, is vital in creating a realistic image. A low-contrast image looks washed out and flat; a high-contrast image looks 3D (even if it's 2D) with depth and realism. "

"Generally speaking, LCDs (LED included) have a native contrast ratio of between 2,000 and 4,000, plasma TV's can be two to three times that, and OLED is effectively infinite because the blacks are as close to no light as possible."

[Anton]

Hmmm. But the trick will be getting video that doesn't seem "hyperrealistic“ like some hdr shots seem to be. How much an improvement will this be over a well calibrated video image?

[thatlife]

does anyone know if the Sony Video Unlimited service works in Trinidad?
that is accepts our payments and will stream?

Need to know this to run some 4k content, was going to buy the 4k Media player from sony.

any other suggestions for 4k content?

the screen can display a wider gamut / higher dynamic range, so it will be better.

Nopes, doesnt work down here. Even with using unblockus. U have a 4k tv?

[rodfarva]

Highly reccomend the Amazon Fire TV & game controller.
Its also so far the only device from which I can stream Prime instant video without buffering/hiccup issues.
All the basics work very well, plus you can sideload apps
Plex also works very well with it.
Best part, I installed a snes and nes emulator, and having some nostalgic fun!
One slight complaint.. While I can get excellent bitrates on my plex streaming, I cant seem to get dolby 5.1 across.

Amazon titles don't play with unblock us. It still says not available in your region. No Downton Abbey
