That's really good to know, I'll be downloading the UHD this evening and will check it out soon. The 4k HDR grade on the disc reviews said it was pretty bad so I'm not surprised the version on K looks the same. Nice to have the option of the UHD SDR version!

This is a weird one. I refreshed my browser and it still shows the UHD upgrade at $24.99. When I check the app, I also don't see the option for the UHD download and strangely, there isn't even an upgrade offer. Only thing I can think of is that the Store thinks my version is different and doesn't qualify for the free upgrade which makes no sense since I purchased the HDR download direct from the Store (vs. an UltraViolet transfer or similar). I'll reach out to support if Mike doesn't chime in.
Here is what it looks like now:

If anyone has a list of popular content where UHD provides a superior image vs the HDR version on K for projectors it would be great. I only have a 48g server so I don’t have the luxury of storing both UHD and HDR versions and don’t have the time to download both, compare and then delete the least favorite. Because of this I’ve defaulted to downloading HDR. If Kris or someone else with similar experuence were to say the UHD is a noticeably superior version for certain films I’d make the switch.
This is just my opinion:
Oblivion BD sharper than HDR
POTC 1 and T2 BD is best version-HDR and UHD has horrible DNR sharpening
Hangover uhd or BD is better than hdr (raised blacks)
The accountant and Varsity Blues BD is better than hdr (raised blacks)
Iron man 1 & 2, Thor 1 BD are my preferred versions (HDR and UHD versions has lots of DNR)
Nolan movies (Dunkirk, DK trilogy, interstellar) have raised black levels on hdr versions
First Blood and Last Jedi uhd has much better black levels than raised blacks of HDR
Bourne identity BD is just as good if not better than the terrible hdr version
I prefer the Casino Royale and skyfall BD over the hdr versions bc I don’t like the color grades of the hdr versions
Wolverine BD is (superior imo) extended version while the UHD version is the theatrical (even though it’s listed as extended)
Capsaholic is a good way to get some ideas on the differences. Then you can DL both versions on KScape to see for yourself
