If you can afford a comparable display and sound system to a Dolby certified cinema then $30 means a lot less to you than the typical viewer

- mlrtime 6y agoIf you can't afford $30 then what is wrong with waiting until you can?
- notriddle 6y agoIf you can't afford $30, then you never will.
- qppo 6y agoNothing! But the point I'm making is that Dolby Cinema isn't appreciable for most consumers' home theaters and that price point might be a bit different for someone who has a home theater with the capabilities and has spent the time/money calibrating it.
- pier25 6y agoYou don't need super high end gear to appreciate Dolby Vision. LG OLED displays are not that expensive these days.
- qppo 6y agoI think they are that expensive. The cheapest OLEDs are around $1500, which is a lot of money for a lot of people.
- xnyan 6y agoLets say you need an income of at least ~$30k to reasonably afford a $1000-2000 TV. I would argue that is a little low to afford a TV of that price, but at 30k that would be around a month's take-home pay. Doable I guess. That's a tiny fraction of world population than can even possibly buy that TV, and only a fraction of those that can will. Even in rich countries, a large number of households wont have it. Dropping a grand+ on a TV would be considered a high-end luxury to the vast majority of the world's population.
- pier25 6y agoNot sure what your point is or why you'd go on this tangent about who can or cannot afford an OLED TV. My point is simply that OLED TVs are much less expensive than they used to be. Only 4-5 years ago you had to spend over $5,000 to get one.
- Talanes 6y agoThe reason your confused is that your point is orthogonal to the discussion that was being had, but the other poster is still trying to have that discussion.
