You can get HDR on a 1080p Blu-ray, and even Dolby Atmos.
With the new VVC codec that’s coming, you could get better bit rates at higher compression ratios, while using a good 4k master.
You could get 24p as well with that, instead of 23.976.
So, when I really don’t see what the point of this format is, if the 4k/sharpness aspect doesn’t even matter to begin with, and all that really did matter was the hardware and codecs.

So, most everyone spent money on upscaled 720p, don’t worry though, telling the truth makes one a troll now.
Any amateur could have baked lines into the letter box using edge enhancement.
This product is a ****ing embarrassment.

Don’t worry though, I hear 8k is right around the corner, and 480p upscales look great on it.
Blu-ray and UHD can do 24p as well as 23.98, so
