Movie Updates

[Kostas]

Kostas, please check now. I believe you should have a no-charge download available for the UHD version of Azkaban. You may or may not see UHD versions available for Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets yet. There's some licensing complexity there but if they're not there yet they should be eventually.

All good Mike thanks a lot !

What’s with the recent UHD trend? What is it, 2016?

What’s with the recent UHD trend? What is it, 2016?

Pretty sure most of them already had UHD+HDR versions available. These updates are simply adding the UHD+SDR option for those who may have displays not optimal for HDR (older 4K tv's or projectors).

 

[KDeering]

What’s with the recent UHD trend? What is it, 2016?

UHD is actually a seriously undervalued feature of K. There are a LOT of displays out there that don't do HDR very well, especially when we start talking about projectors. A UHD version is native 4K, 10 bit and already graded for 100 nits, the only thing it lacks is the HDR grading and BT2020 color. Since most displays have to tone map (to no standard) the HDR to around 100 nits (for projectors), this takes the guess work out of whether the display or outboard processor did it right. The real limit is the color, but the difference between 709 and P3 is rather small with the vast majority of content in a movie easily staying within 709 (it is extremely rare that most displays can even do P3 better yet 2020). So from an accuracy standpoint, the UHD versions are far closer to director's intent. But you got to love how FOMO kicks in hard with this stuff.

Thanks Kris, I totally agree with this, to have access to the UHD SDR version is one of the great things about K. I've started downloading the UHD's instead of HDR when watching on my projector. I was grew tired of trying to tweak the HDR settings to get it looking right and the UHD looks fantastic.
I do think we should always get a HDR and UHD copy when possible from K but the UHD does look really good.

Tell you one thing, comparing the Exorcist 4K SDR to disc 4K HDR on my Sony Z9K is basically like watching a different movie. The HDR grade is so well done and don't get me started on the missing Atmos track.

On a flat panel I would expect the difference to be pretty big, on a projector, not so much.

Really? I can usually very much tell the difference between hdr and sdr on my projector..

Would so love to see audio updates for Jurassic Park series, the Daniel Craig bond series, the fast and furious series, Bad Boys Series, and independence Day.

And don’t forget Bourne movies. I’d be so happy if they got the dtsX that the discs have

 

[Hunter67]

DTS-X isn't really a thing with HDR/UHD in the K-STORE, there is only a dozen or so out there and the bulk of them are the Harry Potter movies

That makes sense. I'm noticing this a lot! Is there a reason for this? Do they not like that audio codex?

 

[Hunter67]

Probably the studios not providing them, I'm sure K would add them if they got it.
