I fear for 4k Disks...

[Geoff D]

Two years ago I went in with my eyes wide open, or so I thought. I knew I'd be getting no WCG (naively assuming that the colour transform would be a seamless affair) and I knew my TV could only do 4K60 at 8-bit 4:2:0, fair enough, but HDR completely broadsided me and I'm just not confident that I'll be getting a fully realised downconvert from both WCG *and* HDR sources. No way am I paying premium prices and (possibly) putting up with online authentication for a mere increase in spatial resolution with less than optimal renditions of dynamic range and colour.

Will that bother all the other early 4K adopters so long as UHD BD plays on their TV, given all of the horror stories about HDMI 2.0 and all that shit? Probably not, but I'm a fiend for all that calibration stuff and it irks me that my precious accuracy could end up being flushed down the toilet. Harumph, harumph harumph. I didn't get a 'harumph' outta that guy...
