I'd pick up a spare CRT if only I had the room. At 200 pounds and as deep as they are wide means I don't just have a place for one. I debated getting a cheap studio monitor just to watch my LD player on.

OLED are great right now but hopefully when they are cheaper they will be brighter. That way they can really play with HDR.

If you do get the chance you'll be pleasantly surprised. Especially with the late Sonys having the monitor option to have less over-saturated reds. As soon as I switched that it was rather surprising.
The only upgrade I cold do now would be a Kuro or a 2013 era Panasonic plasma as Antcu once mentioned they were as good as a CRT in many ways. I personally haven't seen any LED panel that can even begin to match the depth of the 960 so I've learned to live with its intricacies despite only being a 34" screen.

Still slowly plugging away on the final chase. I've basically re-doing the entire movie for the 3rd time.

BD/Regrade

3rd times a charm , just don't go "mad" on us.

meh I'm pretty sure the blue ray was supervised by the director/cinematographer. the movie wasn't meant to look pretty. tho ill take that pcm track if ya got it

Absolutely wrong PCM, why, because on the commentary track, the cinematographer talks about colors which are on the original LD and this regrade, but not on the Blu-ray which looks like shite. The Blu-ray is an undoctored scan of the original negative. It wasn't color timed, that's why PDB is stepping in.

You gotta difference Color Correction (which is adjustments so that each shot flows from the one previous) and Color Timing (which is giving the movie a special look by making choices). There's no color timing on the Blu-ray.

Looking great PDB, the wasteland is looking less grey and dusty with every bunch of screens.

Thanks. Always working on this one. Everyday I do at least one shot from it regardless of what my priorities are at the moment.

You know with Davinci resolve you can detect the cuts in the film file, then all you have to do it like copy paste the corresponding color of each shot from the DVD/LD your source, to your final file. It's dead easy in fcpx too.
