I'll be honest the difference is miniscule even zoomed in 200%, and the color tint difference is larger than the difference in grain. It is doubtful in a blind test I'd be able to say one is better than the other. Probably not worth the upgrade if you have Mi4k version.

You're getting about as much detail off the negative as you'll ever get in the UHD version, not that there's that much more there, granted, it just looks more 'solid' overall than the Mi4K.

Mike's right about the colour, though it's the Mi4K which looks redder to me than the UHD looks greener, if you take my meaning. (And this comes from viewing and comparing both discs, not just a couple of caps.)

Yeah, I don't see any difference what so ever. When they compared the other versions side by side you could see differences clear as day. Seems like regular Bluray has captured all the detail it can from the film already.

Last night, I watched good high definition picture...little grain. I love comedy Peter Venkmen and 80's rock music.

@dvdmike

I made a post similar to this one a couple of days ago which to this day is pending moderator approval so if that post does eventually show up please ignore it.

Thank you for sharing these screenshots Would you mind re-uploading one of these 4k captures with the black bars included. From the little bit of the black bars visible in your original captures the transition from the image to the black bars appears blurry which could indicate that these are 1080p captures upscaled to 4k.

There is a 4K + 3D up for pre-order. I thought there is no such thing as 3D for 4K Blu-rays?

Wrong thread

Also the 3D disc is a standard Blu-ray 3D at 1080p, it is not in 4K.

One will be 1080p upscaled as one was the Blu...

I understand that these are comparisons between the blu and the uhd. What I'm saying is that the blu and uhd appear equally blurry where the image transitions to the black bar. The transition to the black bar should have zero blur in a native resolution image. I'm just asking if you will upload a 4k uhd image with the black bars included. If it's too much trouble and you'd rather not that's fine. I was just curious.

So, I thought I'd share a fun little custom project that I'm working on.

As I'm sure many of you well know, the Ghostbusters video game that came out in 2009, story wise, was effectively Ghostbusters III.

I'm planning to take a video of all of the cinema scenes and key game play footage, which is effectively as close as you can get to having the game in "movie" form, and burn it to a BD-R and possibly a DVD-r just to make my own combo pack out of it.

I've been working on cover art for it. My main intent is to have it match up with the 4K release covers of the first two films.

I've made two versions. One being a simple black background version akin to the UK releases. The other being based on the look of the US releases.

When I eventually print these up, I may use the black background version for the actual case and try to make the other cover into a custom slipcover.

These are WIP. I don't intend to keep the "4k Ultra HD" wording on it since there won't be a 4K disc. That's just there temporarily for now.

Are you viewing it on a 4K capable monitor? If so you will see the difference. If you are on a 1080p monitor, they are going to look the same.

If you zoom in at Caps-a-holic on a 1080p monitor it is just as good as a 4k monitor.

Nice to see the price drop to $19 on this and GB 2. It's hard for me to justify paying more than $20 for a catalog movie so this price will work (although I did buy a number of $30 catalog movies at launch and during the first few weeks, just to get my feet wet).

Just ordered both of them this morning when I saw the price drop.
