Still not convinced

Maybe this is the whole problem but... what? I don't get why that is such a big deal. I've never looked at a BD and found myself complaining about the colours themselves, sometimes a director stylises a scene with certain colours that I may not personally enjoy but 4K isn't going to "fix" that, right?

4K alone improves the resolution and sharpness of the image. For the record, I don't think it's as big of an upgrade from 1080p as Blu-ray was from DVD(at least not so far). It's HDR though that really makes the colors pop on top of the extra resolution. It's one of those things you have to see to really appreciate.
