I think I have most of those movies, so I can play the script as well. Looking forward to it. Thanks!
 
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?
 
What are you finding is your preference? Cinematic 4K HDR10 or Cinematic 4K DV? With your comments it looks like HDR10.

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.
 
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?
 
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.
