It is superior but often hard to discern. Scenes with a high range in brightness is where HDR is incredible. The resolution increase requires a massive screen.I honestly don't see the need for UHD unless you are watching on a screen that is too large to look at all at once. I'd rather they just do HD with HDR. That makes a bigger difference to my eyes than UHD does. Although, even HDR is only really noticeable in some scenes, but it helps with the dark scenes which are so popular these days.
I am aware and yes very few will air the same day release. Some of these were from a week ago but I see they are now catching up like Parkers Trail just posted the first two at once.Pretty sure they don't have day and date (meaning the same day release) on Discovery+ due to the affiliate agreements, but don't know how long it takes for them to show up.
Someone going to be upset because of this.Earnings out today - US streaming business turned a profit for the first time this past quarter and the direct to consumer business is expected to be profitable as a whole this year, rather than 1-2 years from now as they'd consistently forecast.
So, the plan is to starve it to lower costs and that'll make it profitable... except if they starve it from programming, then people will stop subscribing.article said:Warner Bros.

Zaslav had previously promised its streaming business will be break-even by 2024 and profitable by 2025. He has aggressively cut back on content spending, including eliminating shows and movies from Max, to jump-start efforts to make the business profitable.
"Pro forma combined basis"? Is that Latin for "Take with grain of salt"?article said:The U.S. direct-to-consumer segment turned a profit of $50 million for the quarter, a $704 million year-over-year improvement on a pro forma combined basis.
I have saying it for awhile, cut down on HBO type programing and replace it with the cheaper Discovery type program, which is already paid for by airing on the cable channels first.So, the plan is to starve it to lower costs and that'll make it profitable... except if they starve it from programming, then people will stop subscribing
A lot of salt, considering all those HBO shows they touted at the presentation will not be on anytime soon.."Pro forma combined basis"? Is that Latin for "Take with grain of salt"?
No, that is because they merged the two companies last year so in order to present a comparable number they must include that language so as not to get slapped by the SEC for a non-GAAP presentation."Pro forma combined basis"? Is that Latin for "Take with grain of salt"?
