Is this the same 4K transfer as before or it fixed?

Filmmaker · 08-09-2023, 02:28 AM

My FedEx shipment that was supposed to be delivered today went inexplicably into Delayed status at 8:00pm. Ugh.

Just judging by the specs on the website, it seems to be the same disk/transfer. Also, I haven't seen any news or articles saying otherwise.

Okay, thanks. That saves me some money not buying it.

Received mine yesterday. Really nice steelbook with the semi-transparent slip cover. Nice upgrade over my old blu ray steelbook. Nice pickup and worth the buy if you can get past the apparent disc issues. I personally did not have a problem with the previous 4K addition.

So you’ve played it and validated it is the shit disc we’ve had since the jump?

Haven't watched it yet. This disc has cover art and one review off the Bestbuy site for the steelbook is below, so maybe there is hope.

"Ender's Game UHD has fixed black levels!
Owned for less than 1 week by
when reviewed.

Previous UHD Blu-ray releases of Ender's Game were incorrectly mastered and had terrible washed out black levels. That problem has been fixed in the new Best Buy exclusive of this title. If you enjoy this movie, this is the version to buy! "

Quick and dirty iPhone comparison between the 2016 4K disc with faulty gamma levels and the delicious new 2023 4K disc that’s mercifully fixed at last!!!

Pcanuck · 08-13-2023, 12:34 AM

Just watched the 4K from the New Steelbook…It is FIXED! There Black levels are perfect, black bars are black and detail is phenomenal. I was hesitant to purchase but read Ralph Potts review on AVS so I bought the disc today. It is perfect!….a little side note…after inserting the disc when the Lionsgate logo comes on before going to the menu I was a little concerned because those black levels are washed…Do Not Worry!! The menu screen and movie ARE perfect..so do not hesitate if you like this movie!!

Dang. What's the odds this gets more stock for shipping?

Or at the very least release the corrected 4k for everyone.

They did, the review here is way out of date. AVS has a review of the new disc: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/end...eview.3281666/

dlbsyst · 08-14-2023, 04:39 PM

My local stores have plenty of copies so I'm definitely grabbing a copy.

I decided to pick this up for the improved transfer.

It's nice to see them fix the previous issue.

I also like the artwork on this steelbook. The overall design is pretty cool!

Already used the original 4K code and VUDU would not accept to upgrade the new transfer.
