Silence of Lambs 4k question

[JWB2]

Does anyone know if the 4khdr KScape version has the same color grading error in the first 20 minutes that the KLorber 4k disc does?

If so, perhaps the KScape 4kuhd version is ok/error free without the hdr grading?

Hoping to know for sure before I purchase versus just keeping my criterion BD

I will try to check later my download, but I found this old discussion on the blu-ray forum. (That's a screen grab that person posted at their link).

Thanks Dmitry. That is encouraging. I’ll read more on the Blu-ray thread

So I checked my download again and honestly, I don't see anything strange. I don't have the Kino Lorber disc, so can't compare. From that blu-ray thread it seems one of the big issues was that the whites were extremely blown out in the first 20 mins? There was a photo posted that indeed showed the scene of Scott Glenn in his office with his white shirt glowing like a nuclear blast. I watched up to that scene and if that's the issue in question, it definitely was not that blown out coming from K. I could see the folds and the grain on his white shirt. My image was very similar to the screen grab the poster referenced above made. I took a photo too, but my phone begins to compensate colors and lighting based on what it thinks is best (because it knows better than I do), so my photo is not an accurate representation of what I was seeing on screen. So take this picture with a grain of salt - it is more orange than the actual image on my screen (a 4K laser JVC projector, calibrated).

Thank you so much for checking. I really appreciate it! I’m looking forward to getting this now

SOTL is on sale today too. Great timing

Did you buy the download and did you watch it? I'm curious if K has the right version or the problems Kino Lorber's discs had.

About time too. That's one I've been holding off on grabbing with it being so much even with the D2D perk added in.

I bought it but I have not watched it yet. I’m out of town until next week so I’ll try to watch it then and let you know.

I watched it last year and don't recall it looking bad, take that with a grain of salt as I'm not a videofile, IMO it actually wasn't that much different than
The Criterion Collection BD, which also looked great. I have it downloaded and plan on watching it again soon.
If you don't find the HDR version to your liking then the UHD version would be a good option.
Let us know what you think, thanks!

I gave the HDR version a watch last night. The first 20 minutes seem to look ok. Much better than the KL uhd disc screen grabs

We just watched and didn’t notice anything being off. Looked great.
