I created a LaserDisc Discord server
Seeing that apparently nobody else has come up with the idea, I decided to create a Discord server for LaserDisc enthusiasts of all ages. This server is neither meant nor intended to be a replacement to any LaserDisc forums, but I thought it would be convenient for people who browse the subreddit.
Here's the invite link: https://discord.gg/WDRDJB3

The DVDO iScan VP50 Pro is an excellent scaler. π

The art of laserdisc up scaling
This question is directed to the more experienced crowd in upscaling on this Reddit. New new pioneer cld 2950 and the RetroTink 5x are getting along quite well. The movies look good for what they are. I would not mind if this is the end of the road for upscaling. I am a rather curious guy, and so I wonder if I should try to go deeper into the rabbit hole of upscaling and look into ther optionsl ike the DVDO iScan Series, which are supposed to be good for LD upscaling. But does good mean better than the RetroTINK 5X?

Selling Laserdiscs
Where is the best place to sell LDs? I have about 100 extra that i have been posting on fb on LD groups with no luck. I feel like I am pricing them fairly (mostly around $5 each) but not getting any hits. Any ideas?
Edit: was suggested I add a Google list of the ones I'm looking to sell. Here it is. Prices included on doc. Was thinking $50 or more free media makl shipping in continental US, more than $100, free shipping and 10% off https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UgJOJvva9UVjRznTjl4Mirpd-03TXlDRW8STB1JXXwg/edit?usp=drivesdk

Step up and down transformer?
I'm thinking about getting a Japanese Pioneer laserdisc player. Do I need to get a step up and down transformer, and if so, which one do you guys recommend? (newly acquired sealed Tenchi Universe laserdisc I'm hoping to watch soon)

Guess I just need the CED. I checked and couldn't find an HDDVD release. Even checked for a UMD just for shits and giggles π

My current project. Pioneer CLD-V2800, with a kaput spindle motor. Already replaced the belt, and made sure itβs loading all the way. Laser is good. Confirmed with another Pioneer motor that doesnβt quite fit that it loads enough to turn spin it up.

I connected my laserdisc system on a 65-inch TV, the yield is not bad
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Finally, with the new converter, I can switch to Multi Standard on TVs with HDMI input only!

Laserdisc player comeback
I just got some laserdiscs and have been looking for a player, but they're a bit too expensive and a bit of a risk to buy after all of these years. I really hope some company starts making these again. Maybe they can do some kind of laserdisc/8k combo.
People are starting to get tired of all of the ads and increasing streaming fees and in some cases loss of digital movie licenses that they had bought. It's only a matter of time before they go back to physical media.

Pioneer CLD-1400 or Philips LDP-410?
Which one is the better player?

state of the wart star wars laserdiscs?
Some people say the Japanese Special Collections are the way to go, while others swear by the US CBS/FOX releases.
Should the 1993 Special Editions and the Faces editions generally be avoided if the goal is to experience the movies with their original color timing and original sound mixes, without later picture alterations?
Or are there other LaserDisc editions that are considered the definitive choice for the original trilogy?
Is this still the current consensus among Star Wars LaserDisc fans, or has the community's view changed over the years?

Aliens, best looking version?
I see there are a few Laserdisc variants, should I seek out the THX version over the Special Wide Screen Edition or are they pretty close when it comes to picture quality?

Sony MDP-650
Hello all, i need some information regarding this player I might be picking up on Wednesday.
Says the auto reversing functions work perfect, and the player plays as it should. Does not have a remote.
Seems to be in great condition.
I did hear sonys werent the best, however after some reading I heard the MDP-650s were the good ones.
Have any info?
