As I just wrote elsewhere, you need a set with high brightness, good tone mapping and great color volume to really see Warner UHDs as they were meant to be seen. If you don't have that it's going to look dark and washed out.

The UHD of Unforgiven IS a little darker than the BD, but it looks much more accurate and like film than the BD does. The BD is no slouch though, I think every fan will be happy with either.

Was that darkness with the UHD transfer for Unforgiven a similar situation as the Goodfellas release? I ask because I never really got a real grasp on why that transfer is so poorly received.
