We tested in cinema mode on two different TV screens, and both were on the dark side even in daylight scenes.

House of the Dragon was easily one of my favorite shows of this year, so when given the opportunity to review the Season 1 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, I jumped at it. With a native 4K source gleamed from cinema-grade LF cameras and what will likely be cinema-grade Dolby Atmos audio, it should be reference-grade demo material in the war scenes. After checking some of the online reviews, it seems this is a common issue for a lot of people who bought the special metal case edition, failures on Disc 3. This principal cast brings to life the complexities of both the Targaryen dynasty and their own motivations.

Unfortunately, the House of the Dragon Season 1 Steelbook Edition offers nothing new for fans of the Game of Thrones spinoff. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. I've heard some people on streaming services turning off Dolby Vision and HDR10 so they can watch it in SDR. It’s a shame, though, there are not any audio commentaries on any of the episodes from Condal, Sapochnik, Martin or the cast. Just like HBO’s Game of Thrones series, episodes of House of the Dragon are presented beautifully on 4k Blu-ray Disc.

Giant Targaryen statues stand in the throne room while the Iron Throne literally stretches out with more melted down swords or dragon skulls are placed with a religious-like reverence, something much different to the original series. has a horrifying Caesarian in the first episode which probably shouldn't be viewed by any expectant mothers. HBO’s House of the Dragon is one of the best-looking series of 2022, offering streaming resolution up to 4k (2160) with Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio. Extras: Language(s): English, French, German, Latin Spanish, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, German, Subtitles: Dutch, French, Latin Spanish, Interactive Menu, Screen ratio 1:1. One thing to note is the show is mixed -4db below reference so you will need to turn your receiver up.

Everyone is the cast is great, but particular praise has to go to Paddy Considine who plays King Viserys Targaryen. Die Personen erscheinen noch etwas fremd durch den Game of Thrones Einstieg, aber daran gewöhnt man sich auch. The prequel to Game of Thrones, HOTD is set 200 years earlier (172 years before Daenerys Targaryen is born) and focuses on House Velaryon, House Hightower, and the main events that lead toward the fall of House Targaryen. With such a rabid fanbase, just the inclusion of one of these things would warrant me recommending this to super fans.

The visual effects also stand out as there are many more dragons in this show, each one given its own distinctive features, and a few battle sequences that showcase the devastation dragons add to the chaos. For the week that ended on January 28th, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Violent Night topped both the the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its debut, toppling Warner Bros.If the encoding software doesn't see the grain and only sees a plane background (for example), it will most likely use the least amount of bit-rate possible and this can cause visible artifacts.

It seems foolish not to include this miniseries with special features since they offer so much insight into the series.The dragon effects work has really come a long way since GOT S1, so much so that we may take for granted that dragons are pure fantasy. And, even in the blackest of black scenes the image is grainy but does not show any banding in gradients. After all, there were rumors of deleted scenes, more insight into characters, and a journey back into Westeros which I would be all too eager to consume before waiting another two years for Season 2 to premiere.
