Chromecast is aa dumb box, it would need something to feed it the 4k link and there are what two phones that can do that?
And the apps on them do not support 4k streaming video

Does anyone know if it was mastered in 2.8K or 2K? Imdb says it has a 2K DI but I don't really trust imdb. Imdb also said until last week that Gone Girl was shot and mastered in 4K, which is totally wrong.

Very, very few new movies are finished in 4K.

The capabilities of the device that connects to a Chromecast are irrelevant, they just pass a URL to it. The Chromecast itself then does the actual video streaming and decoding. They could of added HEVC/VP9 decoders to the new model and changed to HDCP 2.2.

Only the older films will benefit from 4k not the new ones which will stay at 2k

That is mostly due to 3d, more and more are being finished at 4kk.

Actually the Chromecast would have to know what res to use, and the URL may not be the same for the 1080p

"I had a director who was watching the master on this professional piece of equipment costing $30,000 that no consumer is ever going to be able to buy, and he asked: 'How do I know my movie is going to look like that when I go home?' I said, That's a good question'."…… http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/...ox-televisions

Why are you so against HDR?

It's no more simple than I don't like how it looks, and I don't like that not all filmmakers are still around for the remasters and I don't trust the muppets to do it at the studios.

And it keeps Penton on the attack

I've never seen HDR. What about the look do you not like? Just curious.

They say the look will be closer to the nit you see when things are projected, but the colour changes are forgotten about in the PR
It looks artificial to me and forced, they have to remaster everything also and a tech making that master bugs me.
But I know I am alone in this.

thee HEVC Main 10 encoded MP4 file version of the above mentioned ^ HDR clip produced by Fox is now freely accessible to any regular-Joe consumer having an HDR TV which can detect SMPTE ST 2084 PQ EOTF and SMPTE ST 2086 mastering display color volume metadata…..

I think you will find it (45-100Mbit/s) to be natural looking, unforced and far from too bright to induce visual discomfort, on the contrary, subtle dark details are clearly visible which would not be so with truncated SDR.
