Mr_Gadget Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 How is the standard Blu ray version? I only have it on DVD and would love an improved audio/visual version. 1

Esoterica Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 Watching Spider-Man Far From Home for the first time ever on UHD and projector and am very impressed with the PQ. It’s almost like being in my own cinema lol. More impressed with the projector tbh as I wasn’t expecting comparable PQ to that of my TV from a projector that isn’t oft talked about. Only early into the movie but I reckon it’s gonna be good. I’m not even a comic book fan, but have so many action hero movies on disc, especially Marvel ones. They simply know how to make compelling stories and this movie has so many good actors, Tomei, J. Gyllenhaal, Leon from Curb, Zendaya and I like the kid who’s playing spidey these days. His sidekick is funny too.
Whites Posted August 14, 2020 Posted August 14, 2020 Just finished watching the 3 Matrix 4k movies. Really enjoyed them, I think they hold up well for their age.
captaineos Posted November 3, 2020 Posted November 3, 2020 Hi Everyone I just came here to rave about The Matrix in 4k HDR when viewed on an LG OLED CX. Since owning this TV I've seen a small mix of 4K UHD movies and found Disney Plus to be a good source, along with some jaw dropping Apple TV+ content. However we have to appreciate the visual masterpeice of the Matrix. I've watched it on Laser Disc and DVD and not since. This new transfer literally dropped my jaw and I looked around the room as if to say "WHAT is that!" WOW! The night scenes are so perfectly subtle in brightness, the TONE of skin colours is perfect and I could go on and on. A must see for HDR grading, subtleties in tone and general polish in presentation. I don't know how it gets much better. 4
deviltoob Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Went a few pages back but couldn’t find any discussion so sorry if this has been done before. I’ve heard most modern movies are from 2K DIs and not true 4K but upscaled and that most benefit is found for movies that are remastered in 4K from film, therefore, older movies. Just wondering if anyone has found this to be true in the 4K blurays they’ve watched. Do newer movies seem to be much like normal 1080p or are they bought simply for the HDR?

Mr_Gadget Posted February 16, 2021 Posted February 16, 2021 Just ordered Man of Steel and Batman Vs Superman (JB 2 for $30). Apparently the Extended Version of B vs S transforms the movie. 1

Apparently the Extended Version of B vs S transforms the movie. Narrative-wise it definitely does and links more closely with the Zack Snyder cut of Justice League which is out on UHD on May 26. Hang on wasn't the remastered second release of Batman vs Super due to be released on that date as well?

groovem Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 It's been years and years. The Abyss & True Lies have never been released on Blu-ray let alone 4K. 1
stevoz Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 Just noticed this thread and having recently bought a new 4K player, I can now contribute. I highly recommend the recently released 4K box set of the "Back To The Future' trilogy. They look and sound absolutely stunning....like they could have been made yesterday. Colour tones are superb, visual details are crisp and concise and the sound is excellent. A visual and sonic feast.....a big two thumbs up! Another 4K release worth a look is "Toy Story 4"......the animation is beyond brilliant and comes up an absolute treat in 4K.....oh and it's a superbly rounded story that absolutely does justice to the three previous releases and concludes the Toy Story saga perfectly. 1
