I believe that they're making the 4K UHD format look good by also decreasing the resolution of the regular 1080p blu ray discs.


Have you guys noticed it too?

Hello ken_redcoat,

You don't mention what your tv resolution is? If it's a 4K UHD it's probably the tv making the lower resolution disc look bad. I'm still using lower resolution tv's (720 and 1080 P) and all the newer blu-ray discs with 4K restorations look very good, I hate seeing a favorite film (like Freaks from Criterion) has only gotten a 2K restoration because I know it won't look as good as it could if it had received the best possible restoration. I guess with a 2K restore they can always release it again in the future with a 4K and get us for another purchase since 4K is the best it will ever look on a 1080 P or 4K UHD disc.
