Most of them are UltraHD 4K, which isn't any better than 1080p. Almost all the marquee offerings on Disney Plus are in 4K Dolby Vision.

@Huntn The Mandalorian feels a lot more like Star Wars than this trilogy. Of course, I am going to lose my sauce over a spaghetti western type gunslinger/bounty hunter. Pedro Pascal is perfect.
If the entire season is as entertaining and fun as this first episode was, it will be on par with Rogue One for me (a solid in universe addition). I like that I have absolutely zero knowledge of the Mandalorians and SW bounty hunters outside of the movies.
And do not read spoilers, the surprise at the end is fun.

Looks like there's about 150 titles supporting both DV and HD10, with most of those also being 4K (there's a few HD+HDR), since we're talking about a resolution spec 4K/UHD vs. HDR implementation. I mean, I'm not trying to be argumentative, and I can see you're a big fan of Disney, just trying to understand if there's anything particularly compelling for me with this new service
People are having a good time noticing all kinds of things in the content on Disney+

This is besides the altered aspect ration of the Simpsons

Side note: I miss the old Simpsons UI on FX, the Simpsons World, it was slick , it had thematic playlists (like all the THOH), a program guide type interface where they played old, new, Lisa centric, etc., much better than the new one which is just pick an episode or play linear through a season
The second episode of The Mandalorian is now available. Apparently, it is shorter than the first.
I'll probably watch it tonight.

It is shorter than the first and I think that's completely fine. I was delighted with this second episode.
Indeed. As long as it's good, the running time doesn't matter.
I'll sign up tonight.
I barely entered home the other day and I almost had a family revolt when I said that I wanted to wait on Disney+ to see the reviews. I can't hold further, I already see my decisional powers (*) being taken away if I don't concede on this.
(*) already limited.

"The Mandalorian" has been great thus far (first two episodes). The story line is engaging as are the characters.
Not particularly blown away by the mandalorian so far.
Not much in the way of character development (so far you could put anyone in that outfit and it wouldn't make any difference (sorry Pedro Pascal), pacing seemed a little pedestrian, the shoot out at the end of the first episode looked similar to the shootout at the end of Butch Cassidy and Sundance kid (which I guess goes to the "western in space" motif), the music soundtrack wasn't doing much for me, apparently all bounty hunters now have a boba fett outfit - which is convenient for boba fett fans looking for their boba fett fix - but the bounty hunters including fett that Vader assembled in ESB all looked completely different and if they all look like boba fett now then it's pretty obvious who they are and what they do - which can't be very good for business. The carbon freezing/storage process of the bounty hunter's bounty must have been franchised since ESB since they are all carbon frozen now - but in ESB it was an untested one-off experimental process. Somebody present at the carbon freezing chamber in ESB must have had a light bulb go off in their head when they saw it worked and figured out they could sell it. Freeze em and store em, guaranteed! Your first 5 bounties on us!(conditions apply...)
But when the ultra hyped premier episode is about the same length as a sitcom, you work with what you got I suppose. It wasn't bad but on a scale of 1-10 I'd give it 5

I quite liked episode II of The Mandalorian. So far, this remains on par with Rogue One for the best Star Wars content released since Disney took over LFL.
Some classic western tropes (which I do not mind), but I also like that I am learning about other alien cultures (I did not read many of the novels and a select few comics, so it was always just SW movies for me). The Jawas are nuts.

20/15 vision.
HDR/Dolby Vision is all that matters. 4K is fine, but without the first two, you're losing most of the actual value.
You're writing off 4K based on manipulation during filming and during color grading. Get a refund on your Lasik.
I'm downplaying 4K, not writing it off. Without HDR it's fine but HDR and Dolby Vision are where the magic happens.
The classic Mickey Mouse stuff is awesome. Lonesome Ghosts, the Band Concert, Thru the Mirror. All great
I was very impressed with the Disney+ app. I had some trouble with the FreeForm app when trying to watch the documentary on Galaxy’s Edge. It was difficult, to say the least.
But the Disney+ app was great. I had already downloaded the app on my phone earlier and had logged in. When I downloaded the app onto my Fire stick, there was a message saying log in or open the app on another device and they would take it from there. I did it and there was a message on my phone saying tap “allow” to continue. And that was it. Really easy, the way a good app should be.

Honestly I would have been ok paying $7 a month. The fact that I locked in 3 years for less than $5 after taxes delights me. I could not love the Mandalorian more. It has exceeded my expectations.
