Well 20kg won't get you any of the really good subs. But you can get some decent ones. Maybe ask in the sub thread.

O... I thought "true and complete 4K master" mean the movie is in 4096×2160 resolution.  doh.gif

I think that just means the original movie stock is 4K, which they then downscaled to 1080 res. It's just like Baraka, where the original movie stock is 8K but the BD is still 1080.

By the way, tested Michael Jackson's This Is It. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 has easily taken over the throne for the audio king in concert category. Excellent use of surrounds (the music itself, not crowd noise/ambience), very finely detailed and crystal clear reproduction of each instruments, and what's making it more unique is Michael's unique choice of instruments in his songs that's makes it feel exotic but alive, really sweet.  The drums and percussions all comes to live taking you right into the stage.  And the LFE, the bass pedals just pounds your heart without mercy, you'll want more. The lowest notes of the bass strings were translated very accurately and intricately defined, in "Man in the Mirror" it's just so sweet, you can feel the vibration of each lingering note. Those with elite LFE system will defintely reach bassgasm, I guarantee.

For video, they're compiled from more than a hundred hours of footage, using many different type of cameras, HD and SD. With HD shots there's just very few to complain, and of course, SD is SD you can only get the best of what upconversion can provide (the native video already upcoverted to HD on the disc, your equipment is not doing any upconversion). Will discuss more a about tbe content when I watch it in full, though with the preview it already gave me goosebumps, amazing. And he was 50 years old. notworthy.gif

I was already quite impressed with the preview of This Is It. The full BD should be very good.

Btw,may i ask is Walmart always selling with widescreen's edition for Blu-ray movies?which mean that the black's top & bottom is getting less?how about IMAX ver?

Pls sifu point some road for bluray amateur...

Have a look at this link for some explanation: http://www.audioholics.com/education/displ...ed-and-pan-scan

Basically, most movies are wider than the 16:9 aspect ratio of your typical flat panel TV. That's why you see those black bars. Whether you buy from Amazon or Walmart, most blu rays will still have the black bars.

I am using JVC XV-BP1 Blu-ray player.  The shop told me this player is region free and can play all discs. 
So far I only have Region A discs to play with.

I don't know if the shop is correct. I think it is region free for DVDs but locked to Region A for blu ray.
