A few days ago, HBO Max premiered House of the Dragon, the Game of Thrones prequel series that wanted to repeat the success of the original work. We can already say that the move is going so well that it was renewed for a second season, with only one episode aired.
But if we look back, HBO had to face the anger of fans over the very poor broadcast quality at the premiere of the final episode of Game of Thrones. The technicians explained that the video compression was so high that the televisions could only display a lousy picture.
This issue, which often creates pressure when scenes are dark (where pixels are seen from miles away), was found to take place almost entirely in a nighttime setting for the final episode of the series. Imagine the drama.
Much progress has been made since then (Three years passed when the flow did not stop growing and improving) and now platforms provide excellent quality for the small bandwidth they use. Netflix is the platform that has done the best job in this area.
For all of this, Amazon Prime Video knows that the Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series has to convince. Both for the story, the actors and the script, and for the technical part. This point is crucial when it comes to impressing audiences today.
The premiere of the series is scheduled for September 2, 2022.just back to school and normalcy.
What it takes to enjoy the series in all its technical glory
As with any self-respecting premiere, the series will come with two very defined specs: 4K resolution and HDR. Which may tell you little, this means that you should be able to enjoy the series on any modern television (from 2018 to 2022) in good quality.
But here are the nuances: Not all TVs are the same, and not all HDRs look the same. While we can enjoy UHD and HDR with a modern TV, The experts advise is to buy a television that supports Dolby Vision, the most demanding high dynamic range standard of the moment.
All budget content undergoes Dolby Vision certification to ensure the image takes advantage of the best technology the industry currently has to offer: adjust the contrast of the image frame by frame. This provides much more precise and spectacular images.
If you’re not too familiar with TV settings, Dolby Vision IQ takes the guesswork out of automatically changing the TV’s display settings based on the lighting conditions in the room.
In addition to having a Dolby Vision compatible TV that will give you the best picture in terms of contrast and eliminate the problem of resolution (there is no TV of this standard that is not 4K and 8K) sound.
A good audio-visual work cannot claim to be so if the image is very good but the sound is poor. For this we need to have a good Home Theater at home or a soundbar suitable for the task.
We have two big rivals in terms of sound: DTS:X and Dolby Atmos. They’re both great and sound great, so you can go with your favourite. Of course, at the industry level, Dolby Atmos has had more success, reaching both theaters and homes.
Don’t worry at this point, you don’t need to do anything, just have a good sound system connected to the TV and it will make your living room sound like you are driving Middle Earth.
Finally: the quality of our internet connection. All streaming platforms have an automatic regulator that measures our bandwidth and adjusts the quality of the content.
Although we can choose the quality we want in Prime Video (at least from the computer), It doesn’t allow us to select mobile app on TV so we have to make sure TV is connected to cable router (higher bandwidth and better stability) or With WiFi if not too far from the TV.
calculate, having contracted 100 megabytes of fiber optics at home (minimum rate in almost all companies) You will be able to watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in 4K and HDR without a single glitch. As long as Amazon’s servers are kept up on gala day.
How to watch Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power in 8K and HDR
Here’s the highlight of the premiere: Samsung and Amazon have agreed to broadcast the series exclusively in 8K on Samsung televisions. But not all, of course only those compatible with 8K resolution (a resolution that hasn’t even started yet).
According to Samsung, the series will only be watched in 8K on Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs and The Wall 8K Micro LED screens that we mentioned a few weeks ago.
It remains to be seen if they decide to upload the series in 8K for everyone in the future. Although experience tells us that this option is a temporary privilege and that we will all be able to see it on our TV in 8K later on. (if that was compatible of course).
The Lord of the Rings: Summary for the Rings of Power
Galadriel
Vanity Fair
For newcomers Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power takes place thousands of years before Peter Jackson’s films. They are legendary stories told in the Supplements to The Lord of the Rings and in posthumous books such as The Silmarillion.
Since the race of elves is immortal, We will see much younger characters from movies like Elrond and Galadriel.
There will also be scenes from the movies and the characters mentioned in them. We will see the Dwarven Kingdom of Khazad-dûm, where Gandalf encounters the Balrog in all its glory, its halls filled with light and filled with dwarves.
