      Streaming services' UHD or 4k streaming is not UHD or 4k, their UHD/4k streams have a fraction of the bitrate of a regular blu-ray, let alone an UHD blu-ray, while their industry spreads propaganda that they are the future and physical copies are bad. Not fair to the blu-ray format and it isn't fair to the dumb fucks who bought a 4k TV to watch Netflix or some other streaming "service" on when it isn't even actually 4k.

      DeathInANoose That doesn't disprove it. Also, in 2007 the AACS LA decided to expire cracked decryption keys, forcing users to update their player firmware, if they wished to play new titles. Then they decided, that once wasn't enough, and that you should receive periodic updates on PC, if you wish to continue using Blu-ray. www.aacsla.com/news/
      This is essentially the same thing, but it's moved from being periodic, to being per-disc and not PC-exclusive.

      There is a huge difference, but not if the content has been upscaled. I went from a 1440p tablet to a 1080p tablet, and the difference was noticeable. The difference between my old 1080p display to 4K is even more impressive. Even at seven or eight feet away, I can see a difference between 1080 and 4K.

    • @DarthHater100
      @DarthHater100 7 років тому +19

      +David Effiong There is a really big difference between an HDTV and 4K TV, but there is very little difference between a blu ray and a UHD blu ray. Both look about the same on the same 4K TV. Frankly, I have several blu rays that look much better than 4K titles. My Lawrence of Arabia Blu Ray looks better than my UHD Blu Ray of Independence Day for instance. . . I think it probably comes down to things like film stock and lenses and transfer techniques which factor into the quality more that the resolution.
      There is some stunning 4k material on UA-cam which is a massive step up, but so far for movies, not a big difference. Certainly the difference is nothing as appreciable as the improvement seen from DVD to Blu Ray. The actual 4K screens look WAY better, the actual 4K Blu Rays, meh.

      physical media my ass.
      i have been supporting physical media for so long now.
      i got a wall of DVDs and games and boxes full of vinyl and music CDs ... but blu-ray ? nope ... not buying it ... 4k or not ... IDGAF
      my problem with it is that the DRM on 4k discs is even more fucked up than normal blu-ray is.
      and normal blu-ray was too fucked up for my taste already.
      i can't just build a media center PC, stuff a BD-XL drive in it, install some media center distro on it and call it a day.
      blu-ray was bad already because i could not play the disc with VLC or kodi just like that without installation of other software and/or serious tinkering with configurations 'n' shit ...
      and 4k blu-ray makes it even worse: it has to be a specific CPU with specific windows software and what not ...this is bullshit. BULL-FUCKING-SHIT !!!!!!
      as long as i feel like i am being punished for legaly obtaining a movie on a physical format because i can't use the hardware i want or media player software i prefer to play any physical FHD & UHD media i legaly obtained it's just not happening.
      if this gets fixed, i might start buying blu-ray.

    • @MechaGodzilla

      Linda Means: There's no shortage of older films available on physical media, you know. Plenty classics, cult classics and not-so-classics going all the way back to the silent era have been released on DVD and Blu-ray. I own many.
      UHD Blu-ray doesn't have quite as sizable a library yet, but we're doing pretty well so far. Several titles from the '80s, '90s and '00s. A few from the '70s. The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) is the oldest film released on the format so far.
      Kenji Umino: Hey, that's fair enough. We all have our reasons, and I don't look down on those who choose not to collect a given format, or physical media in general. Some choose convenience over quality, for some it's a space issue, for some (like you) it's something different. It's a personal choice to make, and while I have my own preferences it's not my place to decide for others. The chips will fall where they may. If physical media dies as a result of poor/non-existent sales, that's that. I'll be sad to see it go, but it's as democratic a process as it can be - we vote with our wallets! I just hope I have enough people on my side to keep it afloat for many years still.

      Also in the sense that you can't show anyone what speaker is better by recording them with a microphone, uploading it to UA-cam, and playing it back with earbuds. But I guess in this case hearing the difference between speakers as recorded by the same microphone might illustrate a point even though you're not hearing the full effect.

    • @Adahop
      @Adahop 8 років тому +15

      +Concil True, it has been compressed back into a non-HDR video for us but the point wasn't for us to see HDR directly. It was to give us an idea of what they look like relative to each other, and it succeeded. Saying it's like watching 60fps versus 30fps on a 30Hz screen would only be true if they did something to illustrate the difference between the two framerates, like reducing the footage to half-speed so we could see them at 15fps and 30fps respectively.

  • @vennril
    @vennril 7 років тому +289

    I wish these reviews came with a disclaimer. You CAN'T actually see the HDR in this video. It's footage recorded from an HDR TV with a non-HDR camera, rendered into a non-HDR video, uploaded to non-HDR youtube, and you're watching it on a (presumably) non-HDR screen.
    That said, it leads to a question: Because the HDR footage he showed DID look better on my non-HDR monitor (let's say because the shadows were darker, the scenes didn't have as much of a blue tint etc), doesn't that mean all of those effects could have been achieved in post, by just color-correcting the bluray master? (aside from the actual HDR that we can't even see here).

    • @RobFisherUK
      @RobFisherUK 7 років тому +1

      FWIW I've tried taking photos of my HDR TV displaying a frame from The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime in HDR and I could not capture all of the information in the image my TV was displaying in a single photograph. I could photograph the bright areas and the dark areas separately, or take multiple shots with different exposure compensation settings, and different parts of the picture would look correctly exposed.
      So while a camera pointed at a TV and viewed on an IPS latpop screen on UA-cam might give you some sense of the difference between SDR and HDR, in real life it's a completely different thing again.
      All that said, the specific content you are viewing makes a huge difference. I get the feeling that colorists are still learning how to make the most of HDR and there is some spectacular stuff out there and some very meh stuff.

      +Rob Fisher How am I displaying it? It seems like you don't know anything about cameras what so ever. I shot RAW and used lightroom to bring up/down the exposure, a bit different than using a phone to capture a shitty jpeg.

    • @RobFisherUK
      @RobFisherUK 7 років тому +1

      oBLACKIECHANoo then we're talking about the same thing in different ways. Sure with a DSLR shooting raw you can capture 14 bits of dynamic range and do exposure compensation afterwards. But you can't save that range of brightness to a sRGB JPEG, nor can you display it on a normal monitor. A decent movie camera shooting raw does the same thing, which is why HDR colour grading is possible.
      Now, if you can find a way to display a Raw photo on a consumer HDR TV in all its glory (without encoding it into a movie file), I'm all ears. I'd love to be able to do it.

      Hello, it's 2022: it's not much more advanced. It's really a matter of how the film was shot, what camera was used, and what is happening with CGI and so forth. Ks are not helpful anymore at this point. For example, the massive Avengers: Endgame (2019) was shot at like 8k native, but was rendered at 2k, and has lots of 2k CGI, and was then upscaled to 4k afterwards, and is pretty average for 4k Blu-ray...

      Screen sizes are inching upwards. When you get to 65", at a viewing distance of 3 metres, 4k really makes a difference. Note that 4k TVs will upscale 1080p content to 4k resolution, so you still get some benefit even if it's a 1080p signal. With that said, I 100% agree that HDR is even more important.

Try Avatar (2009). 4k won't help much, but 1080p Blu-ray is far beyond 480p DVD. It depends on the film, and how the master and rescaling was done, and colouring, and the camera used (1080p digital, 4k+ digital, or 35mm film, then scanned anywhere from 2k to 4k in most cases).

      TekReviews Depends on the DVD, earlier DVDs suffered from a lot of digital compression, which those same Laserdiscs did not.

    Streaming is great for things like youtube when you want to watch something random or while multitasking. But for a serious movie experience Blu ray, 3d or 4k is the only way to go. Use quality cinema headphones if you don't have space for speaker setup as this will let you hear the subtle sounds you normally would miss. It's the small things that add the details, it's like seeing a quality photo of a person compared to seeing them in real life.

    @damienpol5215 6 років тому +2

    Watching a UHD disc on my old plasma made me realize that the source material is usually the limiting factor in picture quality. They look absolutely stunning. The TV doesn't support HDR but it does support 10-bit color which gets rid of the banding and color gradation that you get from ordinary Blu-ray or most streaming content. Watching a 4K video on a 1080 screen also gives you about 95% of the detail you get on a native 4K screen at a typical seating distance - it's like 4x super-sampling.

  • @flametitan100
    @flametitan100 8 років тому +13

    Without watching the video, my prediction: The 4K is going to depend on what you watch. A lot of digital films were mastered at something like 2k and will *never* be able to produce a 4k film. They might be upscaled, but the disc has more room for bonus content if they don't go the route of full 4k.
    HDR I haven't seen a monitor/TV that supports it, so I can't comment on the full colour spectrum it produces.
    EDIT: After watching the video: seems about right, though how much of the difference is HDR and how much comes to the producers simply trying to make a better grade is still a bit of an uncertainty to me.

    • @BizzMRK

      Basicly anything that wasnt natively recorded in 4k is not worth it. I doubt it will be easy for you as a consumer to find out what is true 4k content and what is just mastered nonsense.

      There are at least some things that will be easier to tell, but you'll need to do research for it first.

      What does that have to do with this? We're talking about TVs, which tend to cost _way_ more than monitors. Monitors have the obvious benefit of gaming, which you don't see as much with TVs (because of their high latency). And you don't see many 1440p TVs anyway.

    PROBLEM: The fundamental problem with HDR, Dolby Vision, and HLG is that in order to actually "see" the benefits of the different colors, you need a TV that displays light somewhere in the range of 1,000 nits to 4,000 nits. The LG OLED TVs meet this requirement, but they are very expensive. There are only three LED HDTVs I know of other than OLEDs that meet this requirement, and they are also very expensive - over $1,500. NONE of the HDTV sets lower than $1,500 displays over 1,000 nits. Most of the HDTV sets lower then $1,000 display only 400 nits, which means their specs can talk about HDR and Dolby Vision all they want, but you will never see the full benefits. As a result, it is safe to say 4K and HDR/DoblyVision.HLG are a complete waste of money at this point in time - unless you are willing to spend at least $1,500.

It's not high dynamic range but then it's irrelevant because projectors can't really do that kind of brightness anyway.
      At the very least, you get the colour benefits. It's a DCI-P3 capable projector so it will actually look good.

      I think we are Mattheiu, but I'd love to hear his thoughts and opinions. OLED and HDR has come a long ways in one year, as has LG's TV's. The LG line is 25% brighter and better with Active HDR, as well as supporting all four HDR formats. I've held off getting 4K until now, even though I've heard about it long before we even received it here in the States. However, I saw no need to upgrade from my Hitachi 65" 1080i TV or my Samsung 1080p 65" TV until... when I saw LG's and Sony's A1E and even Samsung's Q7. All three of those TV's are amazing, but I went with LG's OLED because of more HDR formats, and because it was a true OLED panel.
      Sony's A1E uses LG's panel as well, so there is really only one OLED panel in the States. If you have the money, I think this is the first year that OLED and 4K HDR has made sense as a consumer and even a videophile.

    One problem, not everyone wants to fiddle with settings just to get an HDR experience. You have to factor in that an HDR tv with HDR blu ray automativally produces the better colors. While you can simulate it with blue ray, you'll gave to re do any corrections every time the white balance or color grading changes

  • @ShootingAndReloading
    @ShootingAndReloading 8 років тому +20

    Good video and agree with the conclusion..... however, you did choose just about the worst player...
    I've looked at the Xbox One S side by side with my Panasonic DMP-UB900 on my LG 950V 65" OLED and the Panasonic blows it out of the water.
    The Xbox One S tends to over-saturate the colours compared to a "reference" player like the Panasonic DMP-UB900 and misses out on subtle features such as 4:4:4 chroma upscaling.
    Sound is also a bit of a joke from the Xbox where you are limited to PCM output rather taking the disk's bitstream directly to the amp.
    The biggest issue with UHD right now is the disks where a great many are poor conversions. I'm sure the ratio of good to bad disks will improve over time as the studios learn how to get the most from the format. You have to remember the dynamic range offered here is even better than you get at the cinema, so this is new ground for the disk graders.
    I really do hope that the format takes off, as this is my only option for 4K / UHD - living in a rural area with a maximum of 3 Mb/s internet connectivity, online 4K streaming is not an option! Even if it were, online 4K / UHD is just horrible and standard Blu-Ray blows it out of the water in a side-by-side comparison. This would be a good comparison for you guys to do - show the masses what they are missing with terrible streaming quality!

    And for HDR, you are gonna need a really decent OLED TV for that, I know when I went from CRT to LCD the colour depth was a huge downgrade especially when watching films that have dark scenes, the contrast was between light and dark was just missing entirely.
    I think HDR for the most part where films are considered is a bit of a gimmick, what matters is the display itself, sure more colour depth is always good but only if the TV is good enough to display it.

      TheDeathmail I softmodded mine in about 30 minutes, first try. It runs emulators, gamecube games, all the good stuff. You can use almost any storage device if it goes via USB or SD-card. It can even take HDD's to play games off

      Worthy on a big screen, but pointless on a regular TV. The majority of consumers will not pay extra for 3D just as they won't pay extra for 4K or HDR. Also, 3D must be more expensive to produce than 4K or HDR.

      @@SweetTorment724K is just an amount of pixels, and HDR is a hardware setting, so yes: 3D TVs are probably more expensive to produce. I bought my 3D TV in an outlet store, so I didn't pay extra for it and it works really well. For me, the pointlessness of 3D depends on the movie itself. And if you've seen this video, you already know how pointless HDR and 4k are.

      @@MoLetalis Exactly, 4K and HDR is just a matter of how many bits of data are not lost in processing. But 3D also requires special equipment while filming (adding 3D in post is cheating) which makes it more expensive to produce true 3D movies.

      I am going to reflect on a study done on 3D cinematography and story connectivity , perceptive correct native 3D when woven into a films artistic essence expression and not tacked on as an pop out effect enables a much higher level of inner connection to the story emotionally ,cinemas that do not maintain proper screen light levels making 3D presented films dark and hard to watch and filmmakers that do poor post conversion are the main reasons people have issues with the format,, It still upsets me they did not improve the format with 4K bluray which does not support stereoscopic presentation at all

    3D Blu-Ray is NOT an abortion - it was just stupid as hell on a television. Which is why I use a 3D 1080p projector, because it makes sense when the image is the 135" in my living room rather than on a 42" flat panel...

    A follow up should be done on this topic. 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays have gotten A LOT cheaper, not to mention there’s way more movies out then there was two years ago. 4K equipment has also gotten a lot better and a lot cheaper. You’re crazy if you can’t tell the difference.
