      Only in the modern garbage coming off the Disney cg production line with HD digital intermediates.

      Only movies scanned natively in 4K from 35mm masters look fantastic. There's a few movies scanned from even larger film formats like 2001 that look incredible.

      There are few instances of modern movies shot and edited on 4K properly but these are rare.

          Aotc and rots were actually the first 2 big cinematic releases shot on digital cameras but the cameras were only hd so there's actually no chance of even redoing the CGI in 4K and re-editing it with 4K quality shots because even the actors were only filmed in hd. The best you could hope for is some sort of AI upscale.

          Digital isn't intrinsically bad. Modern movies can look fantastic if the entire production pipeline is native 4K but this is expensive and rare.

          Lucy is an example of a modern movie that was filmed and edited in native digital 4K because there's little to no effects so it was cheap to do so and the 4K disc looks fricking razer sharp. Unfortunately the movie is shit so who cares.

            Lucas really is a hack if he did this knowing it would be fricked in the future. Disney+ is probably the best 4k you can get from the prequels and excluding TPM they look like digital shit.

        Not anymore, no. It's not 2016 anymore. Most films nowadays have 4K intermediates. Hell, some streaming services, like Netflix for example, even demand it from all of their original content.

      Pro tip:

      4k is a meme
      HDR is a meme
      Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision is a meme
      Anything above 2.1 sound is a meme
      4k is not for games
      Buying a new player, cable, and disc is a meme

      However:
      >Movies before 1999 were 99% shot on film, usually 35mm film so its digital conversion could be up to 16k or something, which won't exist for another 1,000 years or so

      >only buy the movies you LOVE on 4k disc
      >don't pay above $15 for a 4K UHD disc unless money is no problem to you or you dont own the movie on VHS, DVD, or Bluray already
      >55" is perfect for 1080p
      >1440p is 2.5k, not 2K (1080p) and is mostly used to trick homosexuals on PC
      >4k for games is a fricking waste and pathetic, very few games were designed for 4K (last video game generation could barely handle 1080p at 30fps)
      >If you're gonna go above 60" with a TV just get a projector

      >t. 4k projector owner who just got "Giant" on UHD disc

      So far the only movie I've watched in 4k that actually looked "wow" was Mulholland Drive from the Criterion 4K release.

          1920x1080 resolution is known as 1080p

          2048x1080 resolution is the theatrical resolution size, aka 2K.

          3840x2160 resolution is known as 2160p or 4K

          2560x1440 is known as 1440p and is 2.5K (2,560 pixels wide), but manufacturers call it "2K" because it sounds like "4K". Its sold on "gaming" monitors so people on PC can get a higher visual resolution while also being accessible to immense homosexuals tricked into using 144hz refresh rates. Most computers cannot run a 2160p or higher resolution and above 60hz without an expensive beefy card so lowering the res to 1440p saves on processing power and electricity. Shit would probably be different today if all the crypto miners didnt frick up the graphics card scene for the last 7 years or so.

          99% of TVs ran at 720p 60hz, 1080p 60hz, and 2160p 60hz. 120hz is actually useful for a 1080p res for watching 3D content since it halfs each eye to 60hz. Also "pro" gamers are all memed into "higher hz = more skill or the better you'll do" in shitty microtransaction games on PC.

Yeah I can see a smoothness when I set my projector to 240hz but it doesnt mean shit if the game isn't fun or it doesnt add anything to the game (higher refresh rates dont add anything to the game), so I keep everything at 60hz for games and when I use my bluray player I watch movies at native 24fps.

                Like I said, I realized online "competitive" games were a waste of time. Apex, Fortnite, Call of Duty, Rocket League, etc. I played all this shit but its so pathetic and boring because its all loot box/microtransaction "games as a service" trash aimed specifically at children and teenagers, and not in a good way. All part of the esports bullshit. I felt like I was just wasting time winning the majority of matches. I'm not playing to have fun but to "rank up" a game where I dont even have control over my save file. Once the servers are down my game doesnt exist, my unlocks dont exist, if I purchase something most likely I wont get a refund when its shut down. Had the same feeling with GTA Online, where I have everything I want but most people online are either hackers or have no motivation to play together.

                If I want to play an online "competitive" game I'll do Splatoon 3 with some randos. LMAO.

                Agreed. Video Games are the one thing that don't give you tangible skill you can use if you fail or retire frol playing .

                If you train to become a Firefighter, but fail to get the job, then At least your body is in great physical shape and you expanded your knowledge on firefighting and medical skills. This also applies to almost any other job you train for.

                Any videophile anons can confirm or contribute to this?

                HDR is artificial, its not like a real projector because projectors actually work with low lumens in pitch black rooms. Modern projectors for home use actually have way higher lumens than theatre projectors because projector companies know people are gonna wanna watch in the day time too. HDR ONLY exists on 4k UHD releases or an equivalent "digital stream". Its an extra set of data to express colors, contrast, and brightness that is NOT there. It displays in a wider range that didn't even exist for professional use in the past.

                again, not even commercial theatres use HDR because its a digital technology specifically developed to work BEST on OLED displays which broadcast a wider range of color that doesnt not actually exist in the master video. It might look better and more colorful and more brighter, but thats because of the display technology simulating it to an extent. Some non OLED TVs and projectors will display they can do HDR but it is a sort of emulation or "approximate" recreation of the tech.

    Finally someone has the balls to say it.
    The human eye is unable to see the difference between 1080 and 4k unless they're sitting like a foot or two from the screen (which no one realistically does). And even then, it's only select few movies of the utmost superior quality where you can see that difference.
    As for HDR, that can be indiscernibly emulated through contrast, brightness, and sharpness settings.

    4k is such a stupid fricking scam made to sell more tvs. Not even physical media, seeing as how 4k sells far fewer copies that bluray or even DVDs do.

      4k is different and the difference is discernible from what I’ve experienced. HDR is also noticeably different and it enhances the film.
      4K and HDR together are really great.

      > The human eye is unable to see the difference
      Poorgays have been sticking to this cope for 50+ years. I can easily see the difference between 1080p and 1440p. The difference between 1080p and 4k is huge. Distance from the screen doesn’t make much of a difference either, size of the screen does. We’re far, far from reaching the point of diminishing returns with screen technology. You’re probably reading this on a shit 60hz screen too, even though your eyes can tell a difference up to at least 1000hz and the fastest screens on the market are only 360hz.

        Sure, but this is shit that only appeals to gamers, since pretty much all movie and TV content is in 24FPS nowadays, and practically nothing is over 60FPS.

          That's a very odd (perhaps brainless) way to speak of video resolution. 1080p has no real "utility" either.

      The last major jump where you could actually tell the difference in quality was between 720p to 1080p. Above 1080p the increase in quality is totally indistinguishable and unnecessary. Tech gays will argue and seethe but it's the truth. You can only advance a tech so far before the increases became increasingly irrelevant and miniscule and we hit that for screen resolution with 1080p, same as how video games haven't advanced graphics wise since 2011, and in a few cases since 2007.

        If you cant tell the difference between a 4k hdr and 1080p then I dont know what to say, a very easy one is the revanaunt, go to scenes on bluray, take pic, go to 4k take pic, you can easily see the difference in greens and there will be more detail in most scenes, not all scenes. The problem is how much effort has gone into doing the 4k disc. Films future is exciting because it will get to the point where you wont be able to tell reality from your screen, with the screen being a window into other realities. It will be very cool. I feel like film is one of the only art forms that technology advancements will enhance, for example music cant really go anywhere, its all been done aswell, where film you arent confined by scales and modes etc any idea will be possible . Even 8k as a standard would be stunning and I cant wait.

          Only if we get 120FPS 3D, preferably glasses free. Otherwise it'll never feel like a window to another reality.

          nta but this is probably due to a shit transfer to the Bluray. Several companies have literally released 480p and VHS content with Bluray just being the container to hold the data.

          Like I have the early release of RAN on bluray and the streaming remaster they had a few months ago looked so much more clearer than my bluray because they rescanned the film for the new bluray/streaming release.

          • 2 years ago
            Anonymous

            The problem with the new Ran is that they butchered the colors. The old Blu-ray used a DVD master with blown out colors but now everything is muted and pushed too far towards a metallic blue.
            It's a shame, the people who did the scan did a great job and then it was ruined by the restoration color lab.

    You've just gotta choose the right films. Most times they'll just look a little nicer than your regular HD, which is still good, but the best 4K/HDR stuff is real fricking good. Usually this means older movies which were shot on film and/or have notably good cinematography. Obviously if you're just watching the latest MCU release then the difference between the two formats is completely negligible, unless you're maybe watching the IMAX Enhanced version or whatever they call it. You need to read reviews of the 4K remaster before buying anything, and you just need to be more picky in general.
    Best one I've seen is the recent 4K Godfather Trilogy they put out. The fricking lights and detail on that is amazing. When the characters are standing next to a window or something, the light there is actually brighter than the rest of the screen and it feels like there's real sunlight streaming out of your TV

      Native 1080p looks great on 1080p display.
      A GOOD high bitrate 1080p video or image will look great upscaled on a 4k display or projector.
      A 4k image to a 1080p display will work, it might look really good depending on the content, but like someone in the Audio Video world once said "You have 4 pixels to every 1 pixel with 4k. What 3 pixels of data do you remove to display it on a 1080p display?". Not the best example (because of compression) but try to go on youtube and watch a 4k video on your 1080p display and see how it looks.

      In case of web-dl, they're often bitrate-starved, so the 4K hevc ones tend to have a bit more detail. Also depends on the quality of your renderer/media player

    The main thing I hate about 4K is how damn expensive they all are. They always pack in the DVD and regular Blu Ray to bump up the price, even though if you're getting a 4K film then you're likely ONLY GONNA WATCH IT IN 4K AND YOU DON'T NEED THE OTHER SHIT

    The difference is subtle but I'd always want something like Clockwork Orange or Bladerunner in 4k, vs Bluray. The more interesting question, is 4k good enough for 35mm film archival? I think it might be, since the grain is visible.

    I still buy regular Blurays too and the picture quality is excellent.

    Bluray 1080p is still a great format. I bought & returned the LOTR 4K set due to the excessive DNR, and bought a used copy of the 2011 Extended Bluray set. Bluray is so good that it's usually a waste of money to buy a 4k disc of a modern 2k DI movie.

    The old Bluray effectively has a more detailed picture than the new "remastered" 4k.

        Yes, in the Youtube reviews you can see for yourself the top of Gandalf's staff disappear, also glitching around high contrast objects. Faces look waxy. The only issue with the 2011 Bluray Extended set is the green/teal tint on Fellowship but this can be mostly remedied by using a Warm profile on your TV.

        It's curious how Peter Jackson doesn't care about his legacy to check this stuff. From 2022 until the end of time (or a new remaster), all humanity will view his magnum opus in this gimped version.
