I'm keeping my jaws but it's going to look amazing on 4k. On my new TV 4k look's amazing and puts my blu ray to shame. There's no point in watching blu ray if you have 4k. I tried watching a blu ray yesterday and it felt blurry and the obvious hdr was not there at all.im just starting to replace my collection now. I did buy the new valerian on 4k and it wasn't a great picture but everything else has been fantasticBlacksabbath25 said:what !seemorebtts said:That's it I'm completely sold on 4k and I'm now saying goodbye to my blu ray collection. king Kong in 4k was a magical experience compared to the blu ray.

Why I brought transformers the last night on blu- ray even though I have a 4k player the picture is still top quality on the blu-ray version
l have been buying quite a lot of blu- rays at late to replace all of my DVDs that I had and I brought 10 blu-ray films from Amazon for around £75 and the oldest film I brought out of that lot was Jaws which was made in the 70s and the picture looks pretty good for a old film .
i would keep your blu- rays until the prices start to drop a little more on 4k films I will only buy a 4k film if I really like the film a lot so I kind of buy both formats still .

Would I trust that site? The synopsis for King Kong makes it sound more like Serenity. If you can’t even get a synopsis right...bigboss said:bigboss said:It's a matter of perception:

how much extra content you get with a 4k film ?
both picture quality and the film is important to me as well as directors extras but one thing I do not like is grain in the picture but years ago when DVD first came out I was impressed with the quality and didn’t worry about grain in the picture but with 4k films I was hoping not to ever see picture grain but you sometimes do .chebby said:Blacksabbath25 said:how do you mean chebby ?chebby said:How much of your enjoyment is based on content and how much on format/technology?

By ‘your’ I meant everyone.
How much enjoyment is down to the detail and resolution and the colours etc. that a new, improved format brings and how much is down to the fact that it’s simply a good movie?
it makes no difference when you watch it. It was amazing and enough to convince me the 4k hdr is a big jump from the blu ray version. Have you seen it in 4k hdr big bossbigboss said:bigboss said:It's a matter of perception:

yep I just sold half of them at work today so 4k is the way forward let's do it ;-)gel said:I have sold most of my Blu-rays too. I have just kept the music Blu-rays.
I can honestly say I love a good picture but after a while you just get into the movie more than ever before.

I actually haven’t got a 4k film yet that really shows of 4k film but i do not think your going to get a 4k film that shows of 4k unless the film has been filmed in 4k as the conversion films differ in quality it depends on how good the film company does the convention and what equipment they use to do the conversion .
personally I wouldn’t touch any film that’s an old film and then they convert the film to 4k and then turn round and say it’s 4k I find that out with Independence Day on 4k I might as well kept my blu-ray version but saying all that I did pre - order terminator 2 but that was a couple of months ago and should be out next week on the 4th of December but I think I will end up being disappointed with it when I do get my hands on that film .
My sony does a good picture for a 49inch screen i just have not got a 4k film yet that shows off 4kAndrewjvt said:Blacksabbath25 said:I wasn’t that impressed with Kong island on 4k I brought that too the picture is ok but not as good as the transformers last night on standard blu-ray

I still think 49inch TV won't make much difference between 1080p or 4k
Swap over to 65 inch and higher then it will
