    Hell, I didn't even like my favorite Craig Bonds on 4K. Watching CR and QoS on blu-ray is an infinitely better looking experience than the darker 4K variants.

    It’s a pity those two are essentially stuck in 2K, but that’s the same for a ton of films mastered on DI in the 2000s.

    Yeah it's not often I spot a 4K upgrade I personally feel is weaker or too different for my tastes but it happens.

    Do the 4K have HDR ?

    I've almost always found HDR content to be worse than the original ?

    I'm an idiot when it comes to the technical aspects of such transitions and "upgrades" but all I know is CR and QoS simply looked darker, to the point that the parkour chase in CR actually looks overcast. I couldn't accept it.

    I think to get the best ? out of HDR you need a newer TV/monitor ?

    There are a few videos of HDR usage on youtube which i have watched a bit of but not really "researched" it too much.

    I have a compatible 4K TV, it's just not in the $5,000 range or anything like that. Regardless, I know my blu-ray copies of the two look infinitely more alluring on all the same equipment than their 4K counterparts, so maybe it is part of the general "upgrade" that my TV can't really connect with and display.

    I've got a $1400 4K tv too and the picture settings are tricky enough as they are with (backlight,adaptive contrast,sharpness,ultra smooth motion,noise reduction,mpeg noise reduction,color temperature) settings to deal with.

    Indeed, especially if you're going back and forth between watching movies and gaming and you aren't saving your customization options like I fail to do.

    I love HDR, I don't think I've ever found it to be a downgrade.

    I won’t notice many differences in 4K vs. Blu-Ray in anything until I’m given a side by side, and even then sometimes it’s hard for me. My eyes just aren’t good I guess xP but still, just having hi-def over 480 does make a lot of difference. I certainly don’t need better than 4K though!

    Agreed. I'm investing heavily in 4K as I don't think 8k will catch on. The human eye can only detect so much detail. Also, chances of physical media 8k remasters are slim to none.

    What content are you using that has HDR ?

    A lot of the unfavorable reviews of the 4ks of CR and QOS came from professional reviewers that watch these 4K discs on systems that make me feel envious. So it’s not just those watching on budget friendly tech that are feeling a bit underwhelmed. One would hope that they might get a do-over down the line in time for reissues and a complete set, but that’s not guaranteed.

    Gosh, there's quite a lot out there. Even some TV is.

    I'm watching that on my Apple Studio Display which is HDR capable, and I can even see it flicking into HDR, but I'm not convinced that video has actually captured the HDR of the image as there's little in the while of brighter or darker points there.
