Quote from: SiL on Jun 27, 2020, 11:17:29 PMI don't have a big dark room either. The television is in my bedroom ... and it's only a 43-inch screen with a sound bar. So I have to sit up close to appreciate the improved resolution. I'll eventually upgrade to something much bigger.
I don't have a big dark room or surround sound so detail and dynamic range really ain't gonna optimise anything for me unfortunately
Quote from: Darkness on Jun 27, 2020, 09:06:51 AMDVD to Blu was an increase of 6 times resolution, Blu to 4K is only a three times bump and you need large screen to appreciate it.
I must admit I do struggle with 4K. I don't think the jump from 1080p to 4K is all that noticeable than it was from DVD to Blu-ray but it's the HDR that you'll benefit from. Blacks are truly black.
You can always wait for the PS5 and get that as your player.

Quote from: SiL on Jun 26, 2020, 11:56:30 PM4K is a big selling point. With the increase in resolution, there's additional information in the image to be discovered. The new colour grading is also a big plus.
4K is about the lowest selling point for that disc. Dropping the teal and orange grade and slight reframing is more interesting.

Yeah, I almost got the 4K release of Alien when it was rumoured they would be on it, but when that turned out not to be the case I didn't see the point and cancelled the order.
