I just bought a new beast!

[bigboss]

Gel, over the moon for you mate, should be a great set.  Not sure it's worth the price personally but if your happy then all is good.  Just make sure you keep this one yeah.  I hope it's not an impulse buy like I've been reading the last few months.

Where is it being calibrated, I do hope at yours and not the shop?

Also are you planning on spending £30 per movie for 4K discs to watch on your nice new 65" 4K OLED TV now you have ordered a player as well.  Do you have Netflix or Amazon Prime currently?

Hi mate, cheers!   It was calibrated at the shop, but I don't mind I quite like the calibrated settings I was using on the forums anyway.  Worse comes to the worse I will pay Canary Jules to do the calibration again.  Just bought two new movies The Martian and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.  Don't do Netflix or Amazon Prime.  Might watch a few movies on Netflix if I can get it to work!  *smile*

What's the point of buying the Martian and asm2 on 1080p blu ray when they will be out in the next (hopefully) few weeks to a month on 4k?

I bought them on 4K.

from uk? or imported from usa? because they aren't out yet in UK..

Imported.  It's a new trend.  *smile*

If you had bought the Samsung 4K blu ray player instead, you would have got a free 4K disc of The Martian.

 

[bigboss]

Gel, you need to cancel your Amazon order. It clearly says on Amazon US website that the discs are locked to region 1. So they will not play on your player.

 

[simonlewis]

1080p discs are region 1, UHD discs are region free.

Ok, looks like you're right.

Cheers for the advice guys, I decided to cancel it anyway as they were too expensive at the moment. Cheers.

I don't think the Samsung has HDR?

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I was going to watch the Blu-Ray's in the meantime so glad I cancelled it for that reason too.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

To put things into perspective, for that amount of money, I bought a PJ, PJ screen, gel's plasma TV, 11 speakers, AVR, stereo amplifier and Oppo 103D blu ray player.

That's quite a list of components to equal Gel's new TV - or maybe mine in the future .....

Yup, but you'll have to be fast if you want to buy gel's Panasonic OLED.....12 months tops

*biggrin*. Probably right, the new Panasonic OLED might tempt me.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I just pre-ordered the Samsung 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player.

 

[buzz_lightclick]

I still think you will either cancel the tv or return it within 14 days of delivery!

Gel somehow thinks a 4k player won't include the most important part of 4k..he spends more time looking at TVs than researching specs!

Gel, could I remind you what you said in post number 7 of this thread, three months ago?

I don't know which 4K Blu-Ray player to get. There are reports the Samsung has issues but apparently a firmware update has fixed this. The Panasonic matches the TV but is out a month later.

 

[bigboss]

You're only going to pay the highest possible price for 4K players because you're paying the launch price.

 

[Son_of_SJ]

Paying launch price is something that I've done for only Blu-rays, never for electronics. And I've not bought a new Blu-ray (within three months of release) for over three years.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I don't normally pay full price for anything, just feel like treating myself.

 

[Deleted member 2457]

I am on the waiting list at BestAVDeals though and they have now taken that list down!

 

[Son_of_SJ]

By the way, Gel, my new beast is bigger than your new beast! Ha!!
