Screenshot Comparisons 4K

[ko8ebryant24]

They look very close to black but not black.

It is a jpg from imgur but I set it against a complete black background.

Just took this with my iPhone. Yes, that is the whole screen, "black" bars included.

Thanks, I just looked at the caps again on my iPad as it’s really difficult to see on a monitor. The raises blacks aren’t ideal in general but it’s a bigger problem for OLED viewers. I could adjust the gamma on my own but all of this reveals Nova’s incompetence quite a bit.

What do you think of the Nova in motion compared to the Criterion? I think the CC isn’t a demo disc but feels accurate to the unglamorous source and I was never bothered by the artifacts while watching. Your caps also evoke that the Nova filtered the digital noise but it could also be improved compression.

It generally looks better than the Criterion to me. The BD seems flat in comparison. I'm not sure about the filtering, but in some darker scenes I sampled, I noticed more banding on the BD.

The Witch Lionsgate BL/BL+FEL vs Second Sight BL/BL+FEL

100 nits

I placed the BLs at the bookends so you can compare them against each other, as well as each BL against its corresponding BL+FEL.

Withnail & I Arrow BD (2014) vs Arrow UHD

These are the same releases as in the previous comparisons, but now at 150 nits to showcase the different color timing. Both approved by the original DP.

This one is interesting, maybe just a difference between scanning at 2K vs 4K?

It's already up on CAH, no? I try to only do the ones that aren't on CAH.

The thing is, I want to save the 4K screenshots, but I can't do that on CAH for Casino. I can save the BD ones, but not the 4K for some reason.

On Chrome, you can right-click and select 'View Page Source.' Then, in the top left of the page, check the 'Line Wrap' option. Press Ctrl+F and search for '2160.' You should find two 'php' files that contain 'max_height=2160.' Click on them and save the files

I can't do a comparison just like Kobe and neither have the German SC version but I have the French one and it's very slightly better than the Criterion but really not by much. The German one is probably encoded by the one authoring house they always use for the European stuff - the one that uses the same menu layout across different titles and formats. If they did it, it's okay in DV FEL otherwise it'll be full of chroma noise.
