This video is such a big help! I've been watching the Star Wars films on UHD disc and only the original trilogy seems to suffer from this (and Andor, oddly?? That whole prison arc looked so dim)
This is a cool. Video. Couple of notes id like to throw in 1) Star Wars and the rest of the OT on UHD Blu Ray were pointed out on HDTV test as really dim HDR peeks. Around 200 nits. Second. If your set has been professionally calibrated then the EOTF and Gamma should both be for a "light controlled" environment. Ie dark. Except for perhaps a 5% bias light behind the panel. If you need a brighter version of Star Wars get hold of the Project 4k77 version as it is 100% pure and not hampered by years of DNR and colour grading. But you should be in a totally dark room for your default professional mode
@@MyFireVideos unfortunately I think Star Wars came out a little to early in the life cycle of 4k discs. Disney has a way better handle on the format in the last year or so. HDR10 in 2024 rivals Dolby Vision quite comfortably.
@adamATOM3 I would love a reissue of the disc. Until then I'll have to change my settings, which is annoying. You are saying HDR10 is competitive with DV right? I know a lot of people lament when discs don't have DV, but I've found the HDR10 to be great, like in Casablanca
@@MyFireVideos yeah I think a high bitrate HDR10 movie is just as good, in most cases, as Dolby Vision. You could truthfully call Dolby Vision just a marketing tool at this point. Those recent limited edition, Disney releases of their streaming shows are a perfect example. Now to be fair if you didn’t have a disc player as capable as the Panasonics are with handling HDR and haven’t carefully set up your tv properly maybe it’s a different story.
I have found this with Star Wars as well playing on the PS5 in 4K. I usually have to adjust my TV to “Dynamic” to brighten it up. But I’m about to buy a UB820 so this is great to know. Many thanks

Glad this helped!
My favorite too ! And i bought the Panasonic UB820 yesterday. Thank ya
Congrats! Thanks for watching
Bought a region free ub820. Coming after Christmas, can't wait for it to arrive.
Nice! What out of Region discs are you the most excited for?
Don't matter to me, just goes with the cheapest option I could find when buying discs.
@@MyFireVideos Already have several discs from all region, just waiting to be played.

Its the same with Blade runner. Too dark. Thanks for the video
Have you compared the Dolby vision streaming version to the HDR disc version? I wonder how the brightness on the DV stream is also to low.
Yes, I did compare them. It is a little brighter

so basically "light environment" is just a saved setting of "8"?
Yes

@bbqboy175 you're welcome. Thanks for watching. Adjusting the hdr will keep the colors more true than using the dynamic setting
Do you have an aftermarket UB 9000 remote? Because my UB 9000 remote has an HDR button on it.
@matrixman7706 yes, i got it on Amazon. I like it better than the ub820 remote
The UB 9000 remote has same HDR button lolHahahaha... bottom left area, 2nd row in
Yep
