Subscriber cristiu2 55 Posted June 15, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted June 15, 2020 Nice ro hear they are received already in some places. Can somebody tell me if the quality of the concert is great in DVD-terms? I know it's not 1080p (still a shame) but I like to know if it's viewable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We watched the first half of the DVD on Saturday night. It looks great. It sounds even better. Personally, I prefer DVD quality to BluRay. I have BluRays of shows which look too perfect. It's almost like they're not real. I prefer the grittier picture. It makes the show seem more real/accessible. That is just me. It's awsome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, by your own logic, you should prefer VHS tapes to DVDs - even grittier picture! 😄 For BluRays, it’s not just the sharper picture, it’s the better sound too - those are just matters of physics. However, I’m happy with the DVD for now, especially since I think someday the streaming hi-def version will be downloadable and/or Universal Music will yield to its acquisitive nature and put a hi-def version on the market in some way eventually. I’m happy that the site seems to be making a real effort this year. As I said earlier, this is their best performance during a non-touring year since the post-U2360 years.

I would not go that far. I don't notice enough between DVD and BluRay for it to matter. That is my official stance on this hotbed. 😜 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber sukhjitkamal 41 Posted June 16, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted June 16, 2020 I actually have no hope in receiving this gift because you know, it's u2.com, but it still baffles me they gave us a 480p DVD for a show that was filmed in 4k. 🙄 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
