The Matrix 4K UHD (1999)

Yeah I use an unorthodox configuration from AVSforum for my HDR viewing. I keep the projector in SDR rather than using the built in HDR tone mappings. (It's called HarperVision, after the guy who created it.) Anyway, the results for every 4k I've owned have been great and very little that I spot gets clipped.

Whatever is going on here is a much bigger issue as it seems it can't render the white in any mode. I switched it through all the HDR modes, 10-bit 1080p, 12-bit, etc.

Anyway, thanks for the help folks. I'm going to take this conversation over to a dedicated projector thread to try and figure out where the breakdown is.

Damn everyone...i need this disc now! I’m just happy it lived up to expectations. Come to me sexy film like grain!

Where did you find the JP Collection for $30?

Ebay without blu-rays or digital copies. I have bought most of my 4k uhd’s this way as all I care about is the 4k disc and the case.

For those who haven't been able to find it in a brick and mortar location, Best Buy.com is still in stock on this. Get your copy while there's still slips to cover the rabbit!

Man that was a great rewatch, had to watched it stream but the detail and subtle recolor came through fantasticly. Must be over 10 years since I've last sat through this one, and it as good as i remembered. The music hits at the right times feeling orgasmic to the ears. I don't feel the same about 2 and 3 but I can't wait for them now.

Notice the credits weren't changed so they still display as The Wachowskis Brothers, some had brought up wondering if that was going to get updated.

I'm sad that the new BD is mussed up. I was looking quite forward to seeing how the new timing looked on my xbr960. (Yes I still use HDCRT and it does look quite stunning-even for modern releases.)

Gone. Bestbuy.com is saying end of June for shipping. Not in stock at any store within 250 miles of me (or perhaps anywhere)

Looks like Bullmoose still has it; at least one copy available from six of their stores (which is also where they ship items out from, no main warehouse or anything) for $30 and shipping same day.

I ordered it earlier today, and that one says it will arrive by June 28. Now it appears to be in stock, so I placed another order, which says it will arrive by Friday. Sigh. Best Buy is an odd duck sometimes.

Mine just shipped!
Will be here tomorrow
Very happy that we don't have that rabbit here in Australia!, although no slip because well because Australia.
Very excited to watch tomorrow night.

Just finished watching. Picture and sound is top notch!

it looks so amazingly filmic.
really like the colors, flesh tones pop. great detail in the hdr and oh boy the sharpness.
the boot close up later on is so sharp you can see all the rubber linings so fine.
it's dark and dim at times imo but it still looks nice, and the amazing sear of the bright white in the loading rooms.
it really is like seeing it for the first time. i remember having the og dvd, and blu ray, but this beats it.

a little bugged they went for a 66gig disc and the steep price tag, but whatev. it works.

It's an odd choice, but I kind of like the rabbit, actually. I hope they change it for subsequent printings, so only the first release has it.

It's just a shame the rabbit on the main menu screen isn't a hidden button for some kind of easter egg, or something. I'd love to see The Second Renaissance from The Animatrix in 4k.

Does it matter? Why spend more money if they don't have to?

That is either clipping, or, something is unable to reproduce the correct white, or, color settings not right.

Did you check the BD player's HDMI Color Format settings, and HDMI Deep Color, ...did you check the Picture Mode (in case someone changed it)?

Shipper is actually supposed to have three. That's what my location received. What was weird though was that a 3rd party shipping company delivered it, not UPS/FedEx. I mean, I guess it made sense, considering it was shipped crated up right on a pallet, but still, kind of a weird way to put out a new release movie.

Why make more than one size of shoes? Just make 15s, and force people to slip in pads that make them fit people with smaller feet.

Also, encoding video is not some months long affair. It's quite easy to give it the parameters of the destination media (that is, how much space you want the video to take up), and let it do its thing. On a modern computer, it'd take half a day (or overnight, basically).

Why push the envelope with optical disc formats pushing 100 GB if you're not actually going to use it to improve the quality of the video (which is literally the only reason people have to buy movies on disc, because streaming still looks like ass).
