Oblivion 4K UHD (2013)

I was told I could get a hot dog here.

UHD - HDR
BD - overall winner for me. I prefer a picture that is free of DNR/EE over HDR.

Same here. If grain gets distracting I can always crank the noise reduction in madVR. Can't do anything about Madame Tussaud.

More the grain the merrier for me lol even if it is super distracting unless all I am seeing is just grain lol. I loathe DNR/EE.

Yeah I'm glad I skipped the UHD.
Just look at the fine details in the clothes and the hair, compared to the UHD, where most is missing.
EE can't create new details.

The BD really set the bar high..and the steel book that was available then..AWESOME

I watched the BD last night and was blown away at how stunning it looked. Almost 4K quality style presentation of what the actual 4K should've been!

We deserve a re-do of the UHD!

And for 3:10 to Yuma while they're at it.

King Kong doesn't look as bad as the other three mentioned, but it certainly has room for improvement.

Hi Geoff. Do you still recommend leaving the Luma High/Mid settings on the default of 0 for 4k HDR discs?
On my Panny UB900 I have Luma high on 3 and Luma Mid on 1
Both Chroma +EC on 0
This is for 4K HDR
That fantastic HDFEVER article that you mentioned, has now sadly disappeared.
I also have reality Creation on 20 for SDR and 55 for 4K HDR on my Sony X95J without noticing any adverse effects. TIA

[Geoff D]

I don’t leave any sharpening on by default.

[tooMan88]

OK, thanks. Would you happen to know if that HDFEVER review is available anywhere else as it's not on their website anymore? Thanks.

Wow the UHD looks horrible in that comparison. Ill stick to my BD. The movie is amazing sci fi. I absolutely love it.

[Darthbooth1978]

Does the streaming version help any better having DV?

Wasn’t sure if the disc has DV.

I haven't compared the regular Blu-ray to the uhd, but I'm currently watching the uhd for the first time and it doesn't look bad. People are definitely exaggerating. I expected it to look like dog s*** with all the comments on here. It looks fine, actually dare me to say it looks pretty good.

Edit: Just did a very quick comparison between the regular Blu-ray and the uhd. I see what people are talking about now. The Blu-ray looks sharper but the dynamic range and wide color gamut is hard to beat on the uhd. I'll still pick the uhd as my viewing preference. However, I would pick up a remastered uhd in a heartbeat, as I really like this movie.

I watched it two months ago and it's a lovely disc.

Combine the two and this would be god tier stuff, it's just weird that so much high frequency information was shaved off for the UHD. But yes, I love the HDR grading otherwise so it's still my weapon of choice, albeit with some sharpening to give it a bit more kick.

The blu ray is too sharp thanks to sharpening. The UHD is too soft thanks to ye olde DNR. In addition to the HDR, the UHD has Atmos which I think makes it worthwhile.
