Movies Mastered at 4000 nit or more is getting less these days

[Blackman]

I have a Oppo UHD 203 and also a Panasonic UB 9000 that spills the info on all UHD Movies (DML MaxCLL MAXFALL) and I find now in the year 2023 to 2025 movies are getting mastered more at 1000 Nit Compared to Movies mastered at 4000 nit.
I remember the days when at least 35% of Movies was Master at 4000 nit and yet today you lucky to get 10% of them mastered at 4000 nit and since I have a Sony 85 Z9G that give close to 4000 Nit I feel that I getting Cheated on this or am I look at this the wrong way.
I also out the Back Living room I have a Sony 85 Z8H than give a peak Brightness of 2400 Nit @ 10% and I think the Z8H has better blacks possible better contrast because as you know why have a cannon that burn your eyes and at the same time it poor in blacks.
What do you guys think? Is it better to have a UHD TV that can muster on or less 2000 Nit of peak brightness for a LCD or Mini Led LCD but at the same time give you the best Black level that you can get for this technology.
Thanks

It’s a very complicated way of explaining how bright UHDs are

Surely the wrong thread for this stuff. There are applicable sections for it.

EXACTLY!!!!!
I had to invited 3 people that have worked selling UHD TV for years and why I had to drag them over to our place otherwise I would call them names and when they came over one at a time I showed them scenes on a UHD Movies Mastered at 4000 nit. The lot of them was HORRIFIED and the three of them said the same " What, What is it a Special" Is it a different MAX MAX FURY ROAD . I said NO Everyone has this UHD Movie but your TV Cant extract this because It cant.

2017 Mad Max: Fury Road Warner Bros. HDR 10 Rated at 4.0 (My rating 4 out of 5) 4000 NIT 0.005 NIT MAX CALL9919 NIT MAX FALL3242 NIT
All of my 220 + UHD Movies I have taken a sample and read out and printed in my book so I can pick a Movies to show to people that have never seen what REAL HDR looks like PLUS a Good WIDE Colour Gamut (WOW factor on Avator the Way of Water and Aquaman.

I have over 220 4K UHD HDR Movies and out of them I have only 30 of them that are a WOW FACTOR and all of them are Movies that are mastered at 4000 nit and have STRONG MAX CLL (content light level) and STRONG MAX FALL (Frame average light level)

But I do have a few Mastered at 1000 nit Movies Printed IN BLUE ON MY LIST (LOOK AT THE first page) Mastered at 1000 nit but also has a MAX CLL of 1000 NIT.
Movie that I have listed from Numbers to A to Z. Over 12 pages of Movies




See I go to a area that people dont go, WHAT ARE YOU ALL MISSING.

2018 Aquaman DC Comics DV Rated at 2.5 4000 NIT 0.005 NIT 3241 NIT
2017 Batman v Superman Warner Bros. HDR 10 Rated at 4.5 4000 NIT 0.005 NIT 4000 NIT

2018 MEG, The Roadshow Entertainment DV Dolby Vision Rated at 3.0 4000 NIT 0.005 NIT 4000 NIT 1193 NIT

Thats Enough but I will give a GOOD HDR Movies that is mastered at 1000 NIT
2013 Elysium Sony Pictures HDR 10 Rated at 2.0 1000 NIT 0.0001 NIT 2594 NIT 1698 NIT

Take a look at the Movie "The Last Witch Hunter" I cannot extract the Data Info for this movie from either the OPPO 203 or the Panasonic UB 9000. The studios has hidden it. but I can Say It HAS A VERY VERY, VERY, STRONG HDR When those Globes BLOW, the lot of them around 100 of them It totally Blind me if you don't close your eyes but on any other tv UHD HDR the globe start with nothing and they get brighter and brighter and they blow and that it, nothing to see here but with our SonY Tv's there is a Huge Difference.
The Movie the "Last Witch Hunter" I rated it at 4.8 out of 5 because of it strong peek brightness, I ask me Son to watch it and when the scene came up that was on the night scene best black around that the tv can muster I was ready but he was not but I saw him say after he has brains to turn his head the other way, I heard EKKKK, ARRRgg, GUUUUr, OOOOOH. Same goes for the Cow Boy Movie UNFORGIVEN where Clint looked at the Sun Normally 99% of the TV Viewers will say the sun and that its but don't do this on a Sony Z9G or even a Z8H. Your eye will implode like if you REALLY LOOK AT THE SUN outside on a clear day at midday.
Once again the Movie Unforgiven the studious has hidden some Info but I say it was hot to print.
1992 Unforgiven Roadshow Entertainment HDR 10 Rated at 4000 NIT 0.005 NIT (No Data Shown)


What this post is all about is the last 18 Months of buying new movies there has been very few 4K HDR Movies mastered at 4000 nit

I was trying to keep it In Australian section for us Auzzie guys but I seemed to have failed. Very few Sony Z series (G,H and J) 8K Tv was sold in Australia.

I watched Gladiator 2 on the weekend and once again it was mastered at 1000 nit. The MAX CLL (Contact light level was 998) which is very close to 1000 nit but still the max is around 1000 nit. This movie Gladiator 2 just about any scene that had flames they were enriched and most was spectacular to look at on a 8K tv where 4K 3840x2160 media was upscaled to 8K 7680 x 4320 pixels sitting at 2.3M
