и надо брать свежие анонсы с hdmi2.1,

есть ли в таких ситуациях смысл гоняться за новинкой, или лучше взять модель классом повыше, но предыдущего(или позапрошлого) года?

сейчас как раз переходной момент и надо брать свежие анонсы с hdmi2.1

все просто- если бюджет мал, то лучше смотреть на "прошлогодние" варианты.

Ну вот например если брать Денон, новейший 4500 или старый 6300(или даже 6200)?

1. Corrected: The HDR actually won’t be proprietary as I initially assumed, rather it will be HDR10, but specially graded / mastered according to IMAX standards. If the display is also IMAX Enhanced, in addition to the performance certification stuff, it will also lock into a special IMAX picture mode when it detects IMAX enhanced content as the input signal... a non IMAX display will just display it as standard 4K HDR10.

2. Confirmed: The video will also include IMAX’s proprietary sharpening / noise reduction technology they use in IMAX cinemas, called DMR.

3. Clarification: The DTS:X immersive audio will be 7.1.4 with one static object for the Center Height channel. So until (if?) DTS can do more than 11 channels it will play as 7.1.4 DTS:X with a phantom CH channel. The interesting part — the DTS guy said it would not just be a phantom center in between the FH L/R speakers but also the *center channel* would be used to create the phantom image (presumably to pull the phantom CH forward to the top of screen position as in commercial IMAX 12ch, since the FH speakers in IMAX 12ch are more overhead, not like Auro3D where they are on the same plane as CH). I was so surprised I asked him to confirm what I heard and he did.

4. Because IMAX theatrical mixes don’t have an LFE channel, there will be some proprietary bass management rolled into the IMAX DTS decoding. I’m not 100% sure but it sounds like it will override the bass management settings in your AVR when locked into IMAX DTS sound codec (kind of like how THX modes would force an 80hz xover).

5. The thing that was the biggest “wow really?” moment ... the DTS guy made the observation that IMAX uses Audyssey for calibration of their commercial cinemas, but with a proprietary target curve (which is a known thing). But then he said the IMAX DTS mode would include for HOME a proprietary target curve that would override the Audyssey reference curve default. All the other stuff above I had an inkling about but this one was a surprise.
