  1. Sorry but the movie was a huge letdown for me at the end (beginning was alright albeit felt a bit rushed) Here's why (caution - spoilers):
  2. Hmmm......that's an interesting way of looking at it.....
  3. Watched yesterday. Didn't do much for me either, i guess 3.5/5 is appropriate. Got a few questions but i better put it as spoiler
  4. WTF is Ferrari doing not sending charles out for another run.... Its like they don't want to win
  5. Its amazing how they manage to become even more boring this season.....
  6. Sorry, late to reply. Late last year, Adelphi basement used audio dealer had a very nice pair at $5.5k, have not been back there since so not sure if still available. And recently saw a pair in carousell asking $6k IIRC.
  7. Not to mention the factories & construction process that makes the factories and machines that makes the CDs/vinyls lol....
  8. Yep, will just leave it alone. Was just checking if this is a common issue. Thanks!
  9. Well i got it from someone who rarely used it (the set is practically new) and even when he did he usually connected external storage devices and not play from disc.
  10. Thanks! Now i am a bit concerned :(
  11. Sorry, hope i am not considered OT-ing (mod, please feel free to remove if so). I just recently got hold of an old OPPO 93. My first OPPO and i really like it. I especially like the flush buttons on the fascia which completely blends into the front metal plate. I think the newer models don't have this. Anyway, just wanted to raise a small concern. When i picked up the player after the player was in use for about an hour, the player case was very warm! Esepcially the right side (when facing the player). The underneath was very hot (the kind where it's like when you touch a hot pan and recoil back in reflex). Even my Emotiva XPA 2 doesn't get near this hot! My other blu ray players were never even warm when in use. I have since put some USB fan coolers over the case of the player but thought i should ask with OPPO experts whether this is normal?
  12. Actually I have read and heard that LCD is brighter than OLED https://www.cnet.com/how-to/led-lcd-vs-oled/ Extract: Light output (brightness) Winner: LCD Loser: OLED Take this category with a grain of salt. Both TV types are very bright and can look good in even a sunny room, let alone more moderate indoor lighting situations or the dark rooms that make TV images look their best. When it comes down to it, no modern TV could ever be considered "dim." LCD gets the nod here specifically because the whole screen can be brighter, a function of its backlight. OLED can't do a full screen with as much brightness. Full-screen brightness isn't very important in the real world however, so this category is a relatively hollow victory for LCD. Light output also plays a big part in High Dynamic Range (HDR), which we'll discuss a little later. And here: https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/oled-vs-led/ Extract: Brightness When it comes to brightness, LED TVs have a considerable advantage. LEDs were already good at getting extremely bright, but the addition of quantum dots allows them to get even brighter. OLED TVs can get pretty bright, too, and with such dark blacks, contrast between the brightest and darkest spots on screen is all the more exaggerated. However, cranking OLED pixels to their maximum brightness for extended periods not only reduces their lifespan, but the pixel also takes slightly longer to return to total black. With those considerations in mind, it’s important to note that all modern TVs — OLED, LED/LCD, or otherwise — produce more than adequate brightness. The consideration then becomes where the TV will be used. In a dark room, an OLED TV is going to perform best, while LED TVs will outshine them (quite literally) in more brightly lit environments. It should also be noted that Sony introduced some incredibly bright OLED models in 2018, and LG’s next-gen OLEDs are also impressively bright, making them perfectly suitable for nearly any situation, save direct sunlight beaming onto the screen. Still, when compared directly, LED still has the edge. Winner by a nose: LED/LCD
  13. Update to those who commented, everything ok now after i unplugged the TV from source for 20 mins. Thanks!
