I don't know if you are still working this channel, but I have just discovered it, and have gone down a LD rabbit hole with this video! My husband saw his first LD movie at a friend's house on a wide screen tv (the movie was "Speed") and he was blown away. Within weeks he had a new tv, a Pioneer laserdisc player (CLD-D790) and started buying his favorite action movies on LD. Ths was in the late 1980's I think, a long time ago now! Over time he bought DVD players, BluRay players, etc. but always insisted the laser discs were the best reproduction of the films of that time. The last tv he bought before he died 2 years ago was a Samsung 65" flat screen, and the LDs still look fine to me. We would invite friends over for movie nights, and watching Twister, you could feel the wind (he put our ceiling fan on high speed to add to the ambience!). Independence Day was fun because he had an empty Coke can that he threw at the back of the room when the guy in the movie shot the can in the space ship. I got them out of the cupboard the other day, and showed a friend, who was very impressed. Box editions of Ben Hur, The Alamo, and action movies like True Lies, Volcano, The Abyss, and so on are apparently very cool now!

Long time no see! Great videos on the LD format! I remember when it had it's 'peak' over here. Terminator 2 in all its galore ;) ! It then faded from my mind, though when I moved to Japan I noticed just how popular that format had been (same with minidisc). In all HardOff's you'd find shelves of LD players, and there certainly was no shortage of movies either. Just got my hands on a bunch of LD anime series & movies (Just as I do with cool looking Vinyl Covers, I'm planning on framing a couple of the LD covers), so now I'm digging myself deeper into the world of LD's.... What player to get. You've got a PAL & NTSC, I'm planning on see what I can get directly from the JP market...NTSC converter? Where to find a nice 32" Widescreen CRT...and so on...and so on... (things I left behind many..many years ago). Anyways, I've watched your videos with a great interest! Cheers! =)

I didn't get into LD until around 2004, well after the format had died. I was young when they were a current thing, but dad was just not interested in shelling out for it because VHS was "good enough". Got my own money later and got into it. Fast forward to 2024, I'm still watching them regularly, and now have over 500 titles. Movies, TV shows, concerts. Lots of stuff. There's really something special about the format that keeps me coming back. I have the full experience. CRT, AC3 demodulator and all. It feels, I dunno, warm and cozy? I also appreciate them from a technical standpoint, they were so far ahead of their time. I just love them, and it's a shame they weren't more popular. I have eight working players and I rotate which one I'm using occasionally. I know that's crazy, but hey they will never make another player! Hopefully this enough to make sure I have at least one working player left when I'm an old man.

Scanlines for video? Why? Scanlines are too distracting and hide details from the picture. They are meant for old 8-16-32 bit videogames with low resolution; not video. We didn't see scanlines when watching analog video back in the '80s-'90s because the difference between those video formats and the CRT TV resolution is not enough big to show scanlines. Sorry, but Retrotink 4K is not the ultimate scaler for LaserDisc. In this video I can see a lot of pixelation, ghosting and digital artifacts. I prefer to use a 480i CRT TV for 480i content.

What's so amazing about Tink4K, is that if you use it's Triple Strobe BFI it can remove almost 60% of QD-OLED motion blur for film/TV(at 24fps & 30fps) if you're using a 144hz QD-OLED TV, AND it cuts down that choppy OLED film judder to that of a CRT, yet even better. Basically tackling those two big glaring issues with OLED technology and making your movie & TV watching experience on QD-OLED have plasma Tier motion clarity, but with the benefits of QD-OLED, like perfect blacks and higher brightness. You can also use the Tink4K to inject HDR10 into SDR to regain or get a big brightness boost after losing 50-60% brightness when using it's BFI too. The downside is that in order to do so, it caps the resolution at 1080p, and introduces BFI flicker. And of course you can't do the following with HDR content. It's SDR only. I haven't tried it first hand, but i'm definitely curious! :P

@5minutesofretro 4 ай бұрын
I will always prefer Laserdisc to any other format. Not because of the resolution of course, but the nostalgia. The audio tracks and color grading is almost always correct on Laserdisc as well, where the new 4K formats have new audio mixes and often very different color grading. I prefer to watch the movies as they were presented in the cinemas.
@EM-ve9bh 4 ай бұрын
@@5minutesofretro I get it, that last part though is something that I think is more of a moving target than people realize. Many just assume that the older dvd/beta/laserdisc is how the film was presented in the cinemas and that isn't always true. The Matrix for example was way too green until it was corrected in the 4K version. That increasingly complicated as movies were usually shot on negative film and with older films, release prints fade and deteriorate. I've never seen the same movie on multiple format that looked completely the same (color wise).
@5minutesofretro 4 ай бұрын
True. It's not always correct on Laserdisc in terms of video, but more often than not it is. The audio is nearly always very altered in the 4K releases. Another thing is all the digital edits many movies suffers from these days. Everything from taking out segments or altering audio to be more politically correct etc. Good luck finding "Song of the South" on Blu-Ray. ;-)
