Question on Movie File Options

New to K. What is the difference when a movie can be downloaded in either "4K HDR" or "4K Ultra HD". Are they both UHD?

They are both 4k UHD but the one is HDR and the other is not. I currently download both as we have one display that is not HDR capable and the HDR versions look very washed out (have a video over IP system). But the UHD versions look great.

Additionally, the UHD copy can be downscaled, if you connect a Strato to an HD display.

Thanks, I was curious as to why the movies weren't just labeled 4K, and 4k HDR if the the only difference was HDR.

I have a native 4K projector and a Lumagen so I'll go with HDR when available.
