Let's simply agree to disagree.I'm downplaying 4K, not writing it off. Without HDR it's fine but HDR and Dolby Vision are where the magic happens.
So older episodes of The Simpsons look like crap.
I dunno why Disney+ didn't get the "remastered" versions.. in 16:9 of Season 1 through 19, since Season 20 is HD anyway by default.
Apple iTunes have them SD and HD.. so why not Disney+ ??
A company who has to "buy" the rights to a show can be better in 16:9, than someone closer to Fox ?
lol. I don't get it.
FXX was showing them 16:9 as well. I wonder if these old episodes could be remastered and not just scanned from the original episodes.I dunno why Disney+ didn't get the "remastered" versions.. in 16:9 of Season 1 through 19, since Season 20 is HD anyway by default.

The older repeats on FXX were all SD 16:9.IMBD: The Simpsons :- It says "Remaster" 16:9 HD
Since aspect Ratio and resolution are not tied, you can have 4:3 of a 16:9 image but you can't go the other way otherwise it would bury (big pixels)
Thus, this is why I reckon Disney+ only had the 4:3 version and just did the 16:9 to "crop" it,..
By issueing a "fixing" it, they are saying they will want a less than user experience.. with half of them being 4:3 and Seasons 20 + 16:9
As I said Disney should have got the remasted version instead as Fox went back did that way to accomidate 16:9 screens... Then users would have no problem, and Disney can rest easy.
Since the simpsons S1 to 20 was SD iin any case, only proves Disney has the 4:3 versions only
Visiting relatives this weekend who have Disney+. Watched the first 2 episodes of The Mandalorian.@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.
Ours seem totally uninterested in it compared to watching stuff like Planet Earth. I don't think Disney has much the grab now as they did decades ago. The parks have been getting less traffic over the last few years. Higher fees may be the reason, but I don't see what modern Disney offers up today's kids versus what was offered 30-50 years ago in the form of animated film and shows.I'll be taking the plunge, its hard to resist, given the volume of content available, and final motivation was that my kids were looking for it as well.
Does it store progress of previously watched shows? Is this what is being referenced?UI upgrades coming to indicate you had previously watched part of a show/movie.

Huh? This hardcore SW fan ????? The Mandalorian. The first thing Disney has gotten right SW-wise imo (I like Rogue One), but nothing else.I liked it, then again I'm not a hardcore Star Wars buff like everyone else who's complaining about it.

A rather cute meme...

If Disney release an animatronic baby Yoda my wallet is doomed.
@Huntn Episode 3 is the best so far. The music is eh except for the tribal drums, but it's not pivotal to my enjoyment.
Anyway, I hope Di$ney release this show and the others to buy at some point.
Has anyone noticed that Disney plus content doesn’t show Dolby Atmos? It just says 5.1 even though others are reporting atmos compatibility.
I am doomed: Baby Yoda merch is incoming. Darn it, Di$ney.
This is the way.

Finally I apologize for going against the flow, as most of the early thread reviews have been positive for this series.
