Amazon: Blu-ray discounts and deals mega-thread

Re: Amazon: Blu-ray discounts and deals mega-thread
The pickers don't give a shit if they pull a damaged item for you. Amazon is basically tracking every single second and every single step their pickers take to fill orders, and they get fired if they dip below a certain level that gets tighter the longer they work there. The two seconds it takes to put that copy back and get another one will be held against them at their next evaluation. And Amazon doesn't give a shit if they send out a damaged item. All they care about is warehouse efficiency and squeezing every penny they can out of every single transaction.

Re Casablanca 4k: Someone here very kindly gave me my first 4k player. Is the $9.99 Casablanca 4k a good choice to see the difference between 1080 & 4k? My TV is a 4k Sony X85 55". I have noticed the TV & the player don't seem to get along on dvd, I get the "Soap Opera" look & don't seem to be able to fix it in the motion settings. I haven't watched a blu-ray yet on it. The actual player has very few adjustments. The TV has a ton of them. Thx!
My first two recommendations if you're looking for classic films are either My Fair Lady or The Ten Commandments on UHD.

[QUOTE=PhantomStranger;14360464]No, Casablanca isn't the quantum leap in picture quality you'll immediately notice. The largest difference from 4K UHD is the enhanced color rendition.
Could not disagree more! I just got Casablanca and the picture is Definately very noticeable in upgrade from blu ray! Contrast between the black and whites is awesome. The light and “ glow” if you will around Ingrid Bergman is gorgious,And the detail for an older film like this excellent! Very highly recommended IMO-

I just bit on Casablanca 4k. Weird, the same items varies from $9.99 - $119.99 on Amazon! That gives me 3 copies (do I really need them all): The anniversary dvd big box. the blu & the 4k.

Re: Amazon: Blu-ray discounts and deals mega-thread
I just watched the Casablanca 4k & also compared it on the same player with the Casablanca/African Queen 2 br set.
Here's what I saw:
1. The 4k had a lot less grain. I don't know if that's due to the 4k, or due to a superior transfer.
I saw Casablaca in a theater (TCM thing) a number of years back; I also noticed the grain in the theater which lead me to believe it was being played from a dvd. At that time, someone commented that the grain was more accurate! In tonight's comparison, I don't think so; though the 4k did not have more detail; just a clearer picture. I also am uncertain if I used a 4k rated HDMI cable; & how much difference that would make if I didn't. It was definitely in 4k packaging & said 4k on the disc. The player (LG) stated it was a blu-ray..Again, no idea if that means anything, or if LG players call 4k discs "blu-ray".
2. The Blacks at times were too black & some detail was lost in dark scenes.

3 for $40 4K sale. These are Universal and Warner Bros titles. Includes fairly new releases including The Exorcist, Barbie and The Flash,
Also included are the individual releases of the Hitchcock films included in Vol 3 of the 4k box sets - Rope, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Frenzy, Topaz, and Torn Curtain. I earlier posted a link where some of the items listed on sale page didn't take the discount. I found another link that works for all items listed. Sale good until January 15th 11:59n PM PST or until stock runs out.
