HDR, or Dolby Vision? From my research, anything less than the Panasonic UB820 either has missing features, or longevity issues.

Even still, 180 euro is well above the under $40 you can lots of DVD and even Standard Blu Ray

Personally, I grabbed a MakeMKV compatible UHD optical drive from eBay for $150, and just remux my discs to Plex… and then use CoreELEC on the Ugoos AM6B+ to ensure proper Dolby Vision and Lossless Audio support…. but I know that’s not exactly a mainstream option.

Amazon has 3 for $33 sales a couple times a year. I just got Wicked (2024), F1 and Sinners in 4k for $11 each.

When 4K players cost $500 to get something considered “good but not great”… yeah no wonder no ones buying

Early 2000s to mid 2010s movies shot digitally? Sure. Film shot movies, especially on 35mm or larger, absolutely look better in 4k. Especially when they’ve been restored from the negative and converted to HDR for a 4k release.

There’s a lot of older movies out there where the UHD Blu Ray is the definitive version to own, looking significantly better than any prior version (and will likely never look better).

2x? Try 4x+ for fast DDR5

It offers the ability to play a lot of your Switch 1 games with much better performance. I’ve been really enjoying TOTK at 4k60. I think that was a draw for a lot of more hardcore Nintendo fans at the systems launch.

Also Donkey Kong is the spiritual successor to Mario Odyssey. If you liked that game you should definitely be into the new DK. I think Nintendo did a terrible job of messaging on that point, though.

That said, lack of content was the main point of the comment I was replying to. However, I think the huge price increase over Switch is equally as important at this time when people have less and less purchasing power.

This right here. The Switch 2 offers nothing compelling the more casual Nintendo fans, and is a huge purchase comparatively.

I thought Mint was the familiar and accessible entry point for users leaving Windows… guess I’m out of the loop these days

In ‘24 they announced they’d be releasing the SP campaign after not having an official release target since early 2020.

If I had done that, I would have never gotten the firmware update to enable VRR support on my HDMI 2.1 ports…

More tvs need to support G-Sync and Freesync (like my Hisense) instead of just supporting the HDMI version of VRR (like my Sony…).

Isn’t getting at protected content pretty trivial anyway? At least that’s my impression from how easy it is to find basically anything.

I have a DP to HDMI cable… it still won’t do HDMI 2.1. No 4k120 without DSC… no VRR…

DVI, of course

As a bazzite user, with it connected to my living room TV that only has HDMI ports, yeah this was obviously why Valve said 2.1 isn’t supported at the steam machine reveal.

Did my upgrade back in April. Got 64GB for $240. Now I checked the price on the same kit… $700. Just crazy.

I’m confused. This image / gif is from Caddyshack. TBH, I haven’t seen Happy Gilmore, so I’m not certain what scene you could be thinking of from that one.

And sound better, too!

Until you go to your inventory in TOTK and it says “press Y to sort items” and I always press X instead cuz 2 decades of Xbox Controllers.

I’m sorry, but to me this is a Bobby Tables issue. The POS devs need to write some sort of sanity checks on customer provided inputs.

Can’t blame a customer for finding issues in shit software.
