    Kawamori seems no different from Lucas or Jim Cameron with their choices for their remasters. I'm still getting this and the 4k will probably give the film fresh a new look as A New Hope did when the SW special editions came out. The 4k Aliens release really changed the color and atmosphere of the film so there's a huge backlash from fans. Hope one day a fan team can get an original 35mm roll of DYRL and do as the team behind Project 4k77 did for the original trilogy restoration and give us a restoration without the loss of detail.

    The graphs and the article linked are more of a sobering reality at Nvidia's Editor's Day, more realistic comparisons that weren't shown in their 5070 = 4090 power presentation. Each card is roughly 15% more power than last gen and the comparison charts pitting the 5070-4070 that weren't shown prior are more realistic gains that will be in more likely in line with 3rd party findings. Definitely not taking nvidia's words over 3rd party benchmarks though. @mikeszekely not sure if you want to bump up your budget 2100k and don't care about MFG framegen but this might be a decent deal. Legions are built like a tank and with a 4090 card. https://slickdeals.net/f/18057069-certified-refurb-laptop-lenovo-legion-pro-7-16-ips-ryzen-9-7945hx-32gb-2tb-rtx-4090-2149-99?v=1&src=frontpage (not saying you should buy it but doesn't hurt to window shop, great thermals and good for both work and gaming. profile is decently slim for it's size, i carrry around a usb charger since it has that option with my legion instead of lugging a power brick to work)

    Nvidia finally revealing realistic actual performance 5070 vs. 4070 rest of charts here: Nvidia says the RTX 5080 is ‘about’ 15% faster than the RTX 4080 without DLSS

    Thanks for checking: See my original post example and try episode 2 where i marked it as the first episode doesn't seem to be noticeable.

    FYI, I'm in the U.S. and have both Hulu and Disney and tested both day one. Duke Togo and others already confirmed it's happening on both platforms for U.S. because Hulu shows integrated on Disney plus seems to be a different experience vs. where Graham resides where there is no Hulu. Macross streaming directly on D+ in HK or Japan doesn't seem to have the fade out pauses or subtitle lag issues.
  11. davidwhangchoi
    Most likely because in the U.S. all Macross is under Hulu and D+ is carrying Hulu shows. These fade pause breaks on are Hulu.
  12. davidwhangchoi
    I have a conclusion on why the subtitles are playing out of sync for of the Macross series including Plus and Frontier. The artificially added fade to black between some scenes for supposedly commercials creates a split second delay. That gap in time that is not suppose to be there creates a lag in timing and the subtitle will be earlier than the dialogue. The lag in time between the subtitles and dialogue get progressively worse with each additional fade to black commercial break, towards the latter half of an episode after 2 or more fade to black pauses, the gaps in timing are very noticeable which is why people are noticing them towards the middle or end of an episode not at the beginning. If the episode had only one or no breaks, it's barely noticeable. but more than one fade out will most likely create a jarring experience which is why some may notice it more on certain episodes. Examples: Frontier ep.2 at the 4:29 sec mark to see the lag in subtitles. Macross plus OVA has several fade to black pauses each episode. I believe those fade to black pauses were edited in artificially after the subtitles were already timed with the dialogue without the breaks.

    yes, i noticed it, for commercials. the fade happens directly on Hulu as i'm using hulu to stream. I don't see the commercials though.

    i'm wondering if these English subs were made for Asian/Japanese markets.
  17. davidwhangchoi
    That's some bullsh!t quality assurance by Bandai, looks like they just pump out toys and don't care any as much about errors as much as wanting your money post COVID. hope there's a replacement solution from bluefin for these cracked canopy's

    want to add... watched Plus OVA ep 1 the subtitle timing is off, starts off decent but there's a lag by the time yf-21 is about to demonstrate. I cross checked on both Disney plus and Hulu and the lag is the same for both sites. oh well... i guess i'll live with the improved picture quality (vs. my old dvd set) and try to ignore the subs....
  20. davidwhangchoi
    Just did a quick watch of the opening segment to Plus. Isamu is so much brighter than the DVD's, such an improvement. I tried both Disney plus and Hulu prefer the subtitle customization options of Hulu much better as I can get my subs color's and fonts perfect. will be using Hulu going forward.

    i agree. i'd be more comfortable with16gbs for current/next gen cards. The mobile versions of each version are worse: the 5070 mobile carries only 8gb and 5070ti mobile carries 12gb. (apologies for the prior post, was looking up laptops for mike last night and got the specs for the desktop mixed up with the mobile) the mobile hasn't really bumped up ram for this gen My Legion 7 has a 3080 mobile card with 16GB and that's from 2021, 4 years ago. Hopefully, we'll see some reviews and benchmarks coming as soon as the embargo lifts.
  22. davidwhangchoi
    ah, apologies! i was looking at the 5070 laptops last night and got mixed up today. @mikeszekely, i guess 12gb is okay.
  23. davidwhangchoi
    i do think having a 5000 series card is an advantage with exclusive DLSS benefits, the 5070 will be more close to a 4070 ti with the benefits of 5000 series frame gen. the only issue i have with the 5070 is the limited 8GB ram, most likely going to have bottleneck with incoming games. if your current gen card has more vram, i'd wait or consider the 5070 ti unless you want frame gen badly and don't care about 8gb's of vram. I sold my desktop EVGA 3080 card at the peak of data mining for about 2,300 usd (EVGA 3080 was about 850 retail when i got it) and sold the rest of the desktop parts for 500 (edit: ryzen 5700x and some decent parts in 2021) Been waiting ever since to get a desktop but the prices were ridiculous for a while. Might jump in this generation depending on market availability and prices of the gpus.

    i get disappointed when i flashback available and no DYRL. i had hopes with the harmony gold big west news only to be deflated again... at least dyrl is getting english subs on the 4k release...
  25. davidwhangchoi
    still waiting, hopefully this year we'll hear more
