Couple more points to add. I agree only buy the blockbusters and enjoy the highest quality. I do the same. Two more points I would add. #1 Purchase movies you liked growing up watching that were blockbusters. These movies have been released on 4K Blu-Ray and then K-Scape gets a copy as well. So instead of purchasing the blu-ray, which I still do, you can also pick it up on the K-Scape, or only pick it up on the K-scape. #2. Movies in theaters that are available early on K-Scape for $39.99 may be worth it, instead of taking the family to the theater and spending $200, buy it for your home theater on the K-Scape. They do however, need to bring the price down for the masses. And most people forget that K-Scape shut down once.

It's cool, but it costs too much money. I would like to see Sony get in the server, streaming realm. They could give Kaleidscape a run for their money.

Ok - but the “K” costs $4 grand plus? How does this make sense. As you said: How much disposable income do you have? I get it - but still does not make sense . . . to me.

Everyone compares it to streaming ( Apple tv etc. ) how would a Kaleidascape compare to a Zappiti or a Zidoo or R_volution when you have Ripped your UHD via Remux ? The answer is Exactly the same i would say, even if its only 85% of the K-Scape, which means you wont know the difference unless its a side by side situation.

If you have new OLED especially MLA then scape isn’t for you. This is a service for large scale projector home theaters. For the mass population with high brightness TVs we will want content that has the mapping for high brightness via Dolby Vision and or HDR10+. It’s kind of a shame they don’t have these options as the new micro led 110+ TVs are coming in fast and the GUI is slick. For us HDR needs we REMUX and stick to direct play or stream via Plex Jellyfin etc. obviously this is my opinion. I haven’t used zap but looks interesting but nonetheless REMUX a disc for TV > K Scape until they add better HDR content for the prices they want. 🍻

I see you have a 6 Terra Server about 50% full. I agree with your opinion regarding "only buy Blockbuster or Demo worthy movies". I'm curious...how many movies do you have on your server. If I get one, I'd like to hold about 100 4K movies over time...but how many do you have on your server using 3 Terabyts? How many are 4K? I realize movies take up more space than others...Thanks

Why use Apple TV ? Why would one want to have a bunch of devices when you could have one device ?
@TheaterAdvice_FCAV 2 ай бұрын
I mean, I’m not sure what you mean. I only have an Apple TV. That is the only thing I use at home. This product is different and for the very quality discerning and at least mildly wealthy. If you have a six figure theater, you should watch your movies on this piece. That that’s the point, but if you want everything on one source feel free to do so you might never see the full potential of your theater if it’s really expensive.

I always sell the right product for the right room. For those that have a six figure room I'd say it's silly not to watch the best content in there available without putting in discs. Right product for the right room and right client. Just like Cars.

One of the most over-priced piece of equipment, even though it does look well executed (GUI and all). But they clearly target people that are not... price-sensitive! As I hate the feeling of getting taken for a ride, I'll say no thanks! Looking forward to seeing some competitors in that space some day, and prices will come down by more than half I'm sure!

@@SRMB1 I can tell you that even if it is in the end, the same exact quality of whatever you’re talking about people will pay extra for the user interface and the ability to set up demos through scripts, etc. The same reason people buy a Ferrari over a Porsche 911. people sometimes pay crazy money for little differences. It’s the luxury world. I believe it is the same quality as a Blu-ray disc. I believe on their website there is a graph that shows the audio is higher, but don’t quote me on that. It definitely does things other technologies does not do.

After their last major price increase, I was only able to buy used 😮💨 Most of the movies are 🖕expensive, especially in Canada. Not all movies are on K, disappointing 😒 If you're not watching 4k Atmos probably stick to Apple TV / Disney better of the bunch for streaming. This company only cares about the 1% and not the little guy. The player is not badly priced, but the HD`s are 🖕 out to lunch... If you only have a 4k disk your kind of 🖕 to scan it into your library.
