betty boop Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 ...and a wonderful movie to boot...I got a lot out of it. sure was kaynin, really quite enjoyed again this one ! so I've reported the jvc x7000 doing a pretty reasonable job earlier with some fairly recent/decent material on netflix...but how does it go on FTA TV with probably the worst of the worst...am talking the new 7flix broadcast with its bit starved SD. We ended up watching the "lost valentine" movie last night on the kuro and it passable there...so I thought since recorded on the TiVo Id check out on the x7000. below are probably a couple of scenes that didnt fair so well... in the first shot there was a bit of visible artefacts and the second one is pretty soft lacking wiht not much detail at all these two scenes faired a lot better, but still pretty soft on the detail overall great colour rendition though, but yeah for something like 7flix and I'd suggest this isn't even SD or if SD its very very bit starved. I watch at slightly above 2.5x screen heights too so anyone watching from closer than that it would be artefact city I suspect. so no matter what processing the jvc has it aint going to help low res bit starved material such as this.

betty boop Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Did watch Bridge of Spies today on blu-ray though... and that was a bit of a treat indeed, only got a couple of shots, this reminded me of book thief, obviously film source wiht a little grain and gorgeous natural colours. and like book thief the jvc showed off what it can do with mix of light and dark lit scenes. Some very good detail as well. I read though it was film it used a 4k intermediate which might explain the quality of source. maybe one that will also be interesting to see how comes though on the jvc with uhd blu-ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betty boop Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 if wanting a knock out picture to watch and if like london gangster flicks, not sure if seen legend ? we watched yesterday. just smidgeon off say lucy or oblivion in PQ but goodness it looked so clean clear pristine, feast for the eyes pure eye candy checking its tech info looks like was made on ARI 3.4k so will be another being of beyond 2k source to see what potential benefit uhd blu-ray might bring to.

betty boop Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 ps one of my favourite films of 2015, just turned up in UHD blu-ray again wish I had a player to check it out ! this film I suspect will be very interesting to check out as well. extremes of dark and bright scenes high punch colours and contrasty pictures....along wiht the challenges of HDR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betty boop Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 watching the martian in 3D...been wanting to watch this movie again and this time did in 3D. really adds so well another dimension. 3D really is so well done on a movie like this and with the jvc...it just draws you in further...added to the enjoyment factor. am very pleased with my simple tweaking on settings for 3D as well nothing detracts not overripe in colours and output is plenty even wiht being on low lamp. I can confidently say while 3D on previous jvcs have still left a touch wanting...on this new range it is now instead a leading feature. great to see new release movies being brought out in 3D. I watched with DTS-X and neural X to up mix to 3D audio as well which was a rare treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with chronological order is that one of the most famous twists in cinema history is spoilt. It is said you should watch Empire first, then watch the others in episode order so that the surprise is not wrecked for those fresh to the franchise.

I do wonder having watched the entire series so far in original sequence what it would be like to watch in what would be like in story line chronological sequence.... or perhaps its better to watch as I know it ....in movie release chronological order perhaps one of those questions to remain.... perhaps I should just watch this one as it is ...and then when the next installment comes...as it will then watch in some different order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
