I trust my eyes, that's my rule. Now, bring on the 4K/regular bluray combos!

Good to see you back by the way.

Well let's see:

DVD had 480i resolution, SD colors, horrible transfers from old telecines, no kidding the difference going to BD was big

With UHD they are basically using the same scans/transfers used for Blu-ray with output at 2160p.

The difference is gonna be much less dramatic...

I'm confident I will see the difference.

e.g. HDR10 uses static metadata while dolby vision uses dynamic metadata….http://hdguru.com/dolby-vision-tries...t-bar-for-hdr/

on the other hand, the hybrid log gamma approach demoed at ibc2015
for live TV production distribution needed no metadata and actually looked purty good

making SDR trim pass…..

Interesting. Are you suggesting that the further you are away, the less likely there would be an image difference noticeable between the 2?

i like this perspective…

I was able to confirm from a much better source than the internet that the DV version was indeed 4K.

Just got back from a 4DX screening of Pan at Cineworld in Sheffield, I couldn't believe how good it was, it was in 3D as well which was about the only down side, it really needed a 4K screen and 4K 3D. Put it this way from now on if I can afford it I will watch everything in 4DX, I never thought I would be saying that. Pan definitely works in 4DX

well, for the dark/darker images of the movie, the compressionist can actually get away with using lower bitrates (as compared to when encoding in SDR) without artifacts becoming perceivable to the viewer

[Penton-Man]

on the other hand, due to HDR’s greater non-linearity in the acceptable compression rate frame to frame than is the case with the standard dynamic range (SDR) used in traditional television, brighter images demand more bits
