[非影音系列]Viable快潔寶環保清衣紙

今天不談影音，簡單推介紹一件家務產品(Anthony愛影音亦很受家的)，一次偶然在Facebook看到這個洗衣紙的報導，吸引的除了其環保功用外，主要是這個產品是由香港人研發，值得支持。

固名思義，這個環保洗衣紙當然是用來洗衣，這張小小的洗衣紙可以完全取代洗衣液，同時毋需再落柔順劑。這張洗衣紙不論冷熱水都可以完全在水中溶解，亦不含螢光增白劑，不會令皮膚敏感。每次只要用一張洗衫紙就可以洗到5-7Kg的衣物，而8-10Kg都只需要用上一張半即可。用後毋需再存放同棄置洗衣液柔順濟的膠樽，慳位又環保，加上是香港人研發，用了不下十多包了，效果正面，十分值得支持。


而這款洗衣紙暫時只在網上訂購，有興趣的朋友可到以下網址參考:

利申一下: 本人只是以顧客身份自付購買以上產品，並無與該公司有任何利益關係。

[未買機先買碟系列]美版Sing和Assassin's Creed入手

今天入手的兩隻美版UHD Blu-ray都是没有提供中文字幕。

第一套是星夢動物園，多謝囝囝介紹這套卡通電影給我，電影中有很多歌舞場面，未看La La Land之前，先用卡通熱一下身吧。而Blu-ray.com評這隻碟的Dolby Atmos聲效出色，但4K畫面未見比Blu-ray版本好。

第二套是Assassin's Creed，IMBD評分一般，而且未玩過這遊戲，但還是被電影題材吸引入手，blu-ray.com未有評分，希望聲畫有驚喜吧。

希望找到質素好的港式中文字幕吧!

[未買機先買碟系列]Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk和Hacksaw Ridge入手

今天入手了Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk和Hacksaw Ridge兩隻美版Ultra HD Blu-ray，當中Billy Lynn's是UHD Blu-ray + 3D Blu-ray + Blu-ray所以價錢比Hacksaw Ridge貴少許，而Billy Lynn's 的UHD Blu-ray是有簡體及繁體中文字幕，,而Hacksaw Ridge則没有中文字幕。

這次說說Billy Lynn's這隻UHD Blu-ray，不要被封面的戰爭圖片騙到，這套由李安大導以最新技術最高規格拍攝的電影實是一套百份百的文戲居多的劇情片來，所謂的戰爭場面不到十分鐘。

上述所說的最新技術最高規格,是指這套劇情片以每秒120幀格式拍攝的3D電影，是現時最高幀速率的電影，相比一般以每秒24幀格式拍攝的電影在立體感和流暢度都有更好的表現。而除了劇情需要外，演員都没有化妝。

可惜的是現時全球只有五間戲院可放映到每秒120幀格式的電影，而它們分別在美國洛杉磯、台灣及中國的北京和上海，所以香港的影迷未必可以百份百地歡賞到李安大導的傑作。

幸運的是這部史上最高規格的電影亦會以4K 60P在Ultra HD Blu-ray出現，亦是第一次有電影以這個挌式推出UHD Blu-ray。

說實話，看Full HD Blu-ray時已看得出這部電影的畫質和其他一般電影有所分別，但再用Oppo UDP-203看UHD Blu-ray，雖然用的只是入門Full HD投影機看1080 60P的畫面，但表現出來的流暢度和立體感真是很非一般，而畫面上每一個角落都很清晰地表現出來。

但不知是否畫面太過清晰、流暢和李大導的拍攝手法，整個電影的畫面感覺怪怪的，每一方面的表現都很好，就是没有了"電影感"，感覺像在豐澤，百老滙裏看那些開了120hz motion flow之類功能的大電視。可能新世代的電影會是這個方向吧，但Anthony還是喜歡舊有的電影感。話雖如此，在看過這套新規格的UHD Blu-ray電影後，令Anthony更想快點投入Ultra HD的投影行列。

Hacksaw Ridge呢? 只是很快地試了幾章，都是一般UHD Blu-ray的水準，有機會再寫寫。
