Thanks for that CYMBOL... I just about pissed myself laughing, once I got what you were on about (It’s a creeper). Dooby vision is still illegal in Australia, but it has been decriminalised when viewed in small amounts.

Saw Clerks for the first time, many years ago, in Dooby Vision. Turned a funny movie into an absolutely hilarious one... I would imagine It in Dooby Vision would be way creepier.

Now, for what I actually came here for: It has been mentioned that ”It”used a 2K DI. Can anybody point out the source of that info?

IT in Dooby Vision? I mean I GUESS I'll give this a go once it arrives!

Last one I saw in theaters in Dooby Vision was Fury Road. What a good time that was.

While the physical resolution of the DI may be "just" 1080P (technicaly that is 2048×1080 - slightly more horziontal pixels than HD - 1920x1080), it is not the data you find on a Blu-ray. The 2k DI is an uncompressed source that is then converted to 4k mastered in 10bit DCI-P3 color (in rec 2020 container) and HDR10 or DV (which may have been in the source) by the professionals who made the movie.
A 1080p blu-ray is seriously compressed source, compared to the master, with color downgraded to 8bit in the rec 709 color space and with no high dynamic range. And as noted by others, if you "don't prefer HDR" on your movies, your TV is incorrectly calibrated (and or you only watched a disc that was done poorly).

AVS and Digital Foundry both suggest the default 'HDR Standard' setting which has OLED and contrast at 100. My only change was switching color gamut to normal like it's supposed to be. The B6 doesn't have the 'auto' option under color gamut like the later models do. While watching Spider-Man: Homecoming, there were two scenes with white text on black/blank screen and the text was so bright that the space around it was glowing.

What I don't understand is that when I skip to the chapter that begins with 'A Film by Peter Parker' it's not too bright, but if I start before that point and let it play naturally, it IS extremely bright.

The 2K to 4K upscaling debate reminds me of the discussion around shows like The Simpsons S13-17, having the show upscaled to 1080p.

The process is refined and done in such a way that it is way better than any Blu-Ray upscaling device on a machine.
Hence, why I am pissed that The Simpsons S18 has come out... As DVD only (like Family Guy).
I have compared a stream of Family Guy-Simpsons (1080p/60) crossover against the upscaled DVD. The clear winner is the native 1080p stream.

If one were to watch a 2K DI Movie 1080p Blu-Ray upscaled to 2160p and do direct comparisons with it’s UHD version, there would be telltale signs that the 4K copy is superior.
Just like with DVD/BD, where over 99.5% of Blu-Rays easily look better than the corresponding Upscaled DVD. The only exceptions are when they seriously stuff up a Blu-Ray transfer (eg. The Dish https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=291335 ).

To say you might as well just watch an 1080p Blu-Ray upscaled to 4K and get the same PQ as a 2160p Blu-Ray (when watching a 2K DI film) is bullshit.
There should always be a more refined and superior picture, even if it is a slight uptick; Unless there is something seriously wrong with the HEVC transfer.

Here in Australia, It UHD comes out 1-2 weeks after the BD release.
I will definitely be waiting for the UHD release. While having 2K DI’s is not ideal for the 4K Blu-Ray format, it still beats watching an upscaled 1080p Blu-Ray.

Just watched 'The Revenant' on UHD and it looked fine. It seems that the HDR on 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' was just poorly done.

Just FYI, looks like there will be a double dip directors cut coming later next year: http://bloody-disgusting.com/home-vi...t-coming-2018/

Hmm...but will that director's cut include a 4K theatrical release as well or just 4K director's cut? If so I might just have to double dip, thought the pacing was great in this theatrical cut but am curious to see how good a 4k director's cut could be..

[DJR662]

I'm hesitant to pick this up now. Depending on how much better the extended cut will be, I might want to wait for a 4K release for that. And that's an if also ofcourse...

[bradnoyes]

Seems like nearly every movie watch these days is about 20-30 minutes too long. I don't need to go out of my way to watch another bloated movie. I'll stick with the theatrical cut.

For those interested in seeing it now....Walmart is offering it on instawatch for both the BR and UHD purchases. Since I'm not a steelbook collector, it seemed like a good opportunity for my son to see it while on break.

The instawatch of "IT" went live yesterday.

I watched the ITunes DV version last night, thought it was good, but my experience is not great so take my opinion as such. Ill be picking up the Extended on disc if it ever comes out on UHDBR. For the grading it seemed most of "highlights" for HDR were used for sunlight in darkened rooms.

Can you buy this with Instawatch online or does it have to be in-store? Thanks for the heads up!

[Oscarilbo]

Is there a way of buying this on digital WITH audioHD, not just dolby Digital ?

Yes, I bought my copy on-line. On vudu it's the hdx version of the film. I wish they did the uhd instawatch when you buy the uhd physical media. I have my walmart account tied to the vudu account, so the movie showed fairly quickly in my vudu library.

Are you talking about lossless audio? If that is the case then the answer is usually no. None of the majors I believe (only unsure of FandangoNow downloads) offer lossless audio. The best you can hope to get is lossy Atmos (DD+ variant).

Thanks.. I guessed that.
That's why I just can't move on from blurays yet. Waiting until january 9 then.

[HiDefBer]

Can anyone verify what the final steelbook artwork is? I've seen one featuring Pennywise and another with the unimpressive shadow-in-the sewers photo. Hoping Best Buy uses the former and not the latter.

[ROSS.T.G.]

So many titles to watch over the Holidays and a solid January line up but this might be the disc I am looking forward to the most.

[HallowedSZ]

Damn! I love the artwork on both the regular 4K version and the steelbook....no idea which one i would get....but too bad i'm not getting either one because I refuse to double dip. They got me with The Force Awakens (3D), The Martian (extended cut), Split (4K), and god knows what else i'm forgetting...

Someone uploaded some of the deleted scenes and small clips of BTS things online. I really think they should left the Henry Bowers clip in the car in the movie...
