Rogue One and the Last Jedi are two of the most colorful films in cinema history. I don't know what's wrong with your EQ levels lol but if you think ANY of the new Star Wars content has a "muted" color palette, there's either something wrong with your television or there's something wrong with your EYES. Batman V Superman's color palette is "muted." The King's Speech's color palette is "muted." Star Wars may be going through a bit of a rough patch lately, but one thing the content is NOT lacking in is extremely vibrant, beautiful color schemes. And, yes. That includes the Mandalorian. It looks "green screeny" because Jon Favreau is using brand new wrap-around backing and blocking technology he helped to develop while making the live-action Jungle Book and Lion King movies. It's far from perfect because it's in the process of being perfected in the production of the Mandalorian series. And it's FAR better than anything anybody else is doing, so I'd suggest that people try not to let the "perfect" become the enemy of the "good." The Mandalorian isn't just the best new Star Wars, in any format, it also happens to be extremely visually stunning. Watch something with an actual muted color palette lol so you'll be able to start with a baseline for future comparisons, pal. 👍😂

Have you seen Blade Runner 2049? That movie is great and looks beautiful on Blu Ray and I'm sure even better on 4k Blu Ray. I would put that movie on my list of best colorful looking in cinema history.

Is a pj upgrade still coming or you holding off and not selling the sony pj? I'm leaning towards rs3000 soon, undecided on anamorphic dcr lens or lumagen radiance pro processor?

I feel bad for anyone that would only sub to a service for one or two shows. Yes, I get dropping this for those of you that already own the extent of what you are interested in because it isn't a massive library (your interests here). I don't think many of the old Disney shows and DCOMs are easy to find physically, if ever released, I know old proper Disney movies can be tough to find for cheap. There are enough old Marvel TV shows to last me a couple of years at least. Nevermind classics like old DuckTales, Talespin, Darkwing, Chip and Dale, Recess, Bonkers, Gargoyles, etc. etc. A vocal number of 80s/90s kids have been clamouring for our old shows/movies to be put on a service. If Viacom ever gets older Nickelodeon shows, it would also be must have and possibly for even older generations with Nick at Night. Old Nick gameshows were fantastic, too! In the meantime, it is awesome my almost 5 year old asks to watch Recess with me.

This was my only subscription at the time since I cancelled my Netflix. After watching all the Mandalorian I cancelled Disney plus until the other shows that are coming out in late 2020. I'm not as into subscription services anymore and rather buy my favorites and what I like on Blu Ray. So I feel like I can justify getting it for those few weeks. Since I don't have Netflix or any others. And I don't have the patience to wait till late 2020 to watch the mandalorian. Especially didn't want any of it to get spoiled for me. I won't get Netflix again until s4 of stranger things releases and I'll cancel that again after I watch that. It might be a while after until they release a Blu Ray box set of the four seasons of that show.

Great show. Awesome to see them spread their feet away from the tired Skywalker Saga. The first and last episodes where my favorite. It really improves when the episode is filmed/directed by someone who knows what they're doing i.e. John Favreau / Taika Waititi, respectively. I too wish the HDR was implemented better and more. Even though it can be blinding at times I've come to appreciate the realism that it offers and disappointed when watching stuff and don't get that moment where I have to fight the instinct to close my eyes for a second. Sick right? Ha ha... But that's what home theater hobbiest do, right? Push the boundaries for that perfect experience. Cheers!

Hi! Thanks for this review and sharing of your experience. This helped me to confirm the situation on the "toned down" experience for HDR and audio that I also had. I got myself this year a proper home theater room setup (video tour posted on my channel if you want to check it out) and started season 2 and was somewhat underwhelmed of the audio mix. I could accept the rather dark HDR being in a total light controlled room, but the "flat" audio mix was just not on par with the actual quality of the show. It seems as if the audio runs on low bandwith and can't properly fire my speakers. There not many exciting moments, bass and subwoofer is weak in most of the scenes. Season 2 has many movie like moments, but the sound mix does not support the epic scenes. I compared it to other Disney+ content and for example Avatar rocked a great Atmos track. So it's really an issue with the source material or how it got mixed for Disney+. I wonder if they will release a UHD that properly supports a home theater setup.

Love love the show. The HDR implementation to me wasn't great. I watch on a big screen HDR monitor, so i don't have the controls I do with a TV. But I do have basic calibration equipment and created color profile that got me what I wanted. An image that's fairly balanced like the SDR version, but with the HDR pop for the brightest parts. Also It felt like to me that in some shots, you can tell they pushed up the brightness from their source footage because those shots felt grainier than others. And from episode to episode, the luminance grading didn't seem consistent. I second some commenters and would like to get your opinion on The Witcher. Compared to The Mandalorian, a much more consistent implementation over the whole season, but it didn't really get that bright at the top end.

Actually it is in HDR, there is more information in highlight when compared to the SDR version. With that said, it tops out at about 300 nits, watching this show on my 1700+ nits capable Sony Z9F is heart wrenching, there is so much lost potential for pop in the highlights and the over all image is duller than need be. It's tiresome to watch, I had to pull out all the image contrast enhancements to make it bearable. This artistic choice is simply a bad one, me wonders if it's mastered on a consumer OLED instead of a proper Dolby pulsar (4000 nits) or at least Sony bvm-x300 (1000 nits).
