A COMPARISON OF 5 TITLES DISCUSSED IN THE VIDEO
- Thread starter WALLHALLA
- Start date
I just saw the first 2 minutes of the scenes. Anyone that sees this will be convinced.
Currently downloading them. Wondering why in some cases, you mixed and matched Dolby Vision version with HDR10 version since the Cinematic version included both DV and HDR10?
Which one, please? I will fix.
Gladiator and Spiderman Both? inconceivable!
Gladiator and Spiderman Both? inconceivable!
they are not available in 4KC hdr10
It gets confusing fast, but it appears like "Star Wars Episode V" is available in Cinematic 4K HDR10 but the script is using Cinematic 4K DV.
Thanks downloading look for the fix tonight!
Here is the revised script. I like to add the cover art for a few seconds on mine. I hope you don't mind.Thanks downloading look for the fix tonight!
Unfortunately, I don't have time left today to watch but I will first thing tomorrow.
With cartoons, HDR10 comes out better for sure, with less extreme supersaturation and without having to change the saturation settings on the display. Migration, for example, is perfectly consistent with the other filmed content. Moana, on the other hand, is just too hot.
Okay I added the HDR 10 Cinematic to the compare list but left the DV in there for kicks.
I spent quite a bit of time going back and forth between the 4K HDR version and 4K HDR Cinematic versions of these movies and here are my thoughts:
The two movies where the difference were most evident were "Blade Runner 2049" and "Star Wars Episode V". It was clearly cleaner and more pronounced on the Cinematic versions.
F1 and "Gladiator II" were noticeable, but only slightly better on the Cinematic versions using my Hisense 110UX mini-LED TV. Gladiator II was most evident when the scene started where they're on the ship at around the 30 second mark.
I kept going back and forth several times on the "John Wick: 3" and "Spider-Man: Far from Home" movies and couldn't notice much of a difference.
It seems to me like the 10-bit 4:4:4 versions are where I noticed the most improvement on these.
My conclusion is that "it really depends on the movie" as I've been saying all along.

Or having a bright videowall where the differences become more colorful and more dynamic. Thanks Lujan for your feedback.
I seem to recall that your videowall is less than 4k resolution, right?
It is but because it lacks a tinted coat everyone thinks they are looking at 4k
Look at what Brad that is an Elite viewer and lives next to Alan G and has seen all the Christie’s including the eclipse had to say:
For Blade Runner 2049 there is a very noticeable difference in the opening sequence when Gosling's character arrives at the farm. The part where he lands and the drone detaches and then it shows him walking out of the dust/fog has always been plagued with some light banding/color artifacts for both Kscape and disc. The new Cinematic eliminates it completely.
