Hello! So what's the verdict, then? I've been offered a pair of D7s for £2000 plus a 500-mile return drive. Does that sound like something one ought to go for? Thanks!

"Extension", actually.

Yikes, how horrid! What sort of packaging did it come in, and was it compromised? Do also inform the shop, after all they're in a position to exert far greater pressure on the forwarder.

I certainly enjoyed your reports, thanks! However, as I don't have anything specific to comment, I didn't. Yet that doesn't mean your efforts weren't appreciated, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. : -)

VLC.

In fact it's even better. Blu-ray discs can handle progressive signals (as opposed to TV's interlaced) and have a higher bit rate. All BDPs will play DVDs, and most probably no worse than your existing unit.

30 minutes? Did you watch the original film (the "demo"), not the actual full cinematic version?

That's because human opinion isn't an exact science...

The recent film 'The Hundred-foot Journey' has it, oddly, as well as of course 'Planet Earth'.

Sure, if you want ANY sound. However, the discreet 5.1/7.1 signal would be lost by being downmixed by the TV.

I'm afraid I cannot follow your line of thought... BB is talking about connecting your potential future 4K BDP to your system containing a non-4K AVR. Playing computer games requires a different device altogether, be it a PC or console, and this'll be connected to your AVR independently of your...

For one thing, switch off all picture processing (motion, noise reduction, etc.).

Plus sales tax (0-9.75% depending on state) - American prices are always net ones.

Would you prefer one with the Atmos option, or will one without do?

While that IS possible, BDs with that bad a picture are few and far between, so if you're having ghosting on all discs then it's definitely not their fault. As BB has said, switch off all processing, which especially on BD playback is wholly unnecessary anyway. Most likely "digital clean view"...
