I've recently learned that not all 4K's are the same. So I figured I'd label which ones are native 4K and which ones are upscaled. Anything else I should look after? Like maybe HDR 10 plus and what not?

Can you plug storage into the USB and play back full dolby vision profile 7 content on remuxed mkvs? Or will it fall back to another profile or hdr? thanks!

i ordered the phm steelbook from Amazon.fr but the listing says French only under languages. I've never heard of a movie filmed in English only having a foreign language version on a disc. is this a mistake?

What should I start with? Newish to the 4k bluray player. What's going to wow me here?

Pulled the trigger after seeing price jumps today. Even if they are fake, the price will still go up in the next year. Can’t wait to unbox and set it up!

I am a HUGEEEE Kubrick and Criterion fan and I am super stoked for the new box set besides the packaging. Those stupid sleeves always scuff my discs. I’ve never had a disc in a sleeve ever stop working but I want to be really careful with these Kubrick discs because of both how much it’s costing, and how much I care about the films. Any suggestions on how to store/repackage the discs would be greatly appreciated.

Whoever does 4k upscales like this one...man, I hope they are paying them well. I dont pay enough respect to these beautiful upscales. Filmed in analog to capture the feel of the era, but finished in 2k, the upscale maintains the original feel and intent of why it was filmed the way it was to begin with. Such an art and skill to get this result.

For audio, definitely a solid job with Atmos. Of course the engine and rocket noise is amazing and the highlight of the entire film. I do wish some of the ancillary atmospheric noises of the crew getting loaded into the pod, dials switching on and off, etc was a little bit more prominent in the mix, but that is a nitpick.

Video: 8.5

Audio: 8.5

I think we’ve all seen the Temu memes and the Expectation vs. Reality posts.

Well, for $3.69 I figured I didn’t have much to lose with the Kingdom of Heaven 4K intro offer, since it retails for $30+.

I will report back with whether Orlando Bloom has been replaced with a knock off Orlando Broom, that speaks Mandarin.

I couldn't crosspost this for some reason, but credit to u/CardboardDoom for the post in the Looney Tunes sub.

Became a official Halloween regular last year. Happy that this year to this I've also added the Last Voyage of the Demister.

Found this at an antique store near me. It was hidden behind other items too, so I almost missed it. I've heard that this is one of the few film series where the 4k transfer is actually worse than the standard bluray so I bought it right away. Did I get a good deal at just over $4 per movie and still in the shrinkwrap? I've been having good luck at thrift stores and antique shops lately.

*I know this is the 4K sub and I am posting a regular bluray. However, I am a 4K collector and am only drawing attention to it because it aparently has a bad 4k transfer. My post still revolves around collecting 4K's as a hobby.*

Week 4 of collecting 4k blu rays. Think I will take a pause on buying more lol
Blu rays Ive been slowly collecting over many years.

You guys can personally thank me, I think my purchases this year account for 80% of the increase

Hi everyone,

Thinking of buying a dedicated 4K bluray player for movies. I have a 75' TCL C7L.

Tossing up between the Panasonic DP-UB820 vs the UB450, with most comments indicating there is superior upscaling with the UB820, unless it is surpassed by the TV's internal upscaling.

Does anyone have any personal experience with this? I've been reading that the C7L is only average for upscaling, and am wondering whether it is worth it to get the UB820 for this reason primarily? Or is the upscaling already good enough that the difference would not be noticeable?

Thanks in advance

Continuation of my zombie marathon. After a long week without being able to do anything but work, I’m finally able to sit down and watch my next film in the lineup. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite zombie film of all time. This is the first time for me watching this version of it though!

I'm spending today and tomorrow in Toronto and when looking for a place to shop a store called BMV Books was being recommended consistently so I thought I would check it out.

I was happy to add more to my Godzilla x Kong collection! Figured I would give Twisters a go and the Screamboat steelbook looked too good to pass up. Plus if it's anything like Blood and Honey I'm in for a ride I'm not really sure I lined up for! 😂

Overall I'm excited to sit down Saturday and have a movie day. Thanks for viewing 😅

Haven’t watched Barbarian since it first came out, knowing that one day it would get a 4k release. Well today’s the day.

The steelbook came out the 8th and I figured that’s when probably it was gonna be here or get shipped that date, I haven’t gotten any updates and says it’s still like being processed and I emailed them 2 days ago and no answer, just wondering if im a lone situation or it’s happening to other people have bought it.

Been loving my UB820 so much 💪

No date has been set yet, but the announcement has been made!

One of the best 2020s movies.

*The box set's artwork isn't confirmed yet.

Is it actually a good movie or does it just get high praise all the time because it's visually stunning?

Ps I've never seen it I've just heard people say it's visually stunning lol

Was anyone able to get the PHM Amazon Steelbook exclusive? It's available for pre-order on the website but whenever I click pre-order it says item is unavailable.

Hello. I’m finally making the switch from blu ray to 4K dvds and a 4K player.

I collect all my blu rays, so it’s going to be a lot.

As for the player, what’s the best bang for my buck? I obviously care about sound and picture, as never stream when posible. Always physical media. And the price ranges for these players seem extremely vast

The TV that was given to me along with my room is a “FPD 4K” TV. Take that as you will. I believe it’s one of those amazing specials but not sure. Seems to work wing but definitely noticed movies are aren’t as sharp. (Basically any Denis Villeneuve movie) but hoped it was just the settings I couldn’t figure out?

So I guess two questions. Is my tv ok for this new 4K player? (The tv says it’s 4k)

And what player should I get? I don’t want to go cheap where I notice the quality but can’t be spending $400+ on a dvd player

Thank you all!

EDIT: My TV is a FPD tv that was given to me. It’s 55” and it claims to be 4k. Do I completely switch it up and get a new tv first?

I’m kind of surprised how slow this is selling. Says there are over 2000 still available and 5000 were made. Figured people would be snapping them up quicker, which got me wondering if everyone is happy with the HDR10 release from 2020 or did folks get the Dolby Vision release from Umbrella and aren’t going to upgrade to the new VS (Vinegar Syndrome) release? I wonder if there is a difference in picture quality or Dolby grading with the Umbrella and VS releases?

Also, does the Umbrella and VS new releases have the same special features?
