What are your opinions on Fake 4k (upscaled 2k) - Blu-ray Forum

HenriDeadMort · 03-21-2020, 04:39 PM

Unless the HDR is really, really good i think there is no point buying them.

tcripe · 03-21-2020, 04:41 PM

Its treason then

brian9229 · 03-21-2020, 04:44 PM

Watch the Pacific Rim UHD.

brainofj72 · 03-21-2020, 04:46 PM

Still?

XavierTheaterPotato · 03-21-2020, 04:47 PM

Jesus, not this Again.

Vilya · 03-21-2020, 04:48 PM

This has been discussed in so very many threads already.

I'm still waiting to be convinced about The Phantom Menace, OP. Don't be so quick to abandon your stated objective in your other thread.

I mean... Just look at Terminator 2 to see what a native presentation can look in the wrong hands.

They deserve to burn! Destroy all discs unless they that pure uncut 4K!

imdb says "Cinematographic Process Digital Intermediate (2K) (master format) Redcode RAW (5K) (source format)" so what exactly is 2k and/or 5k in that?

I might be wrong, but isn't the problem that they tinkered too heavily with the HDR?
so the 4k itself is good

Isn't john wick 2 True 4k?
According to this https://www.digiraw.com/DVD-4K-Blura...-fake-4K-list/ it is.
Anyway i think the HDR is what thrives in Wick anyway

There's nothing "official" about your thread or any of the ones that I listed for you.

The list I offered was just a sampling, too.

This tired topic has been exhaustively discussed and had you spent even 3 minutes searching you would have discovered these existing threads and more besides. Over a half dozen forum members have already commented here in your redundant thread about how you are

Beating a dead horse... bringing up/asking something that has been discussed a thousand times before

.

You probably didn't even look; you just created a thread thinking that you were the first person in the 5th year of the 4K disc format to broach this subject.
