No thread about the dead pixels?
Did anyone else freak out thinking their TV was about to do a shit seeing those dead pixels?
Apparently this is a Netflix issue but I'd never seen it before. Quite a relief to come across an article about it.
It's a sensor issue on one of the cameras, and it's incredibly lazy that they didn't fix it in post. The movie was so bad that it's pretty irrelevant, regardless.
shareWrong.
"...this isn't the first time viewers have noticed multiple dead pixels while streaming one of Netflix's Original movies or series. Several Netflix users noted 2020's Extraction had the issue, as did the streamer's recent series Shadow and Bone and Jupiter's Legacy, both of which are heavier on digital effects. As Redditor XEvilrobot pointed out, “I’ve been noticing white pixels in lots of recent Netflix content lately, Shadow and Bone for example had several of them – they’d be there for some scenes and then not on others. Came and went, but always back on the same few pixels when it would be there.”
I don't know about the other shows as I haven't watched them, but this is clearly tied to a specific camera in this instance. It's consistently there for some shots and gone for others. It's not random, widespread, or based on what's on the screen like some compression issue, but specific shots within scenes, with the same pixels (exactly like if a certain camera was affected).
It very well could be that this issue is cropping up in the cameras being used in these productions, but if not, feel free to explain how this could be a "Netflix" or compression issue if you can. I'll accept the explanation if it makes any sense.
