No, I mean 4K upconversion players. There are no native 4K players yet. It's mainly because there is no 4K content as of yet.

Uh, no. Its BD players because the movies on the webpages i posted links to are BD movies, they are not Dvds. There will be 4K content released soon, such as BD's and BD players and hdtv's that support the next hdtv resolution number.

You are mistaken. There's not even an approved specification for a 4K format yet.

Seriously doubt it. The BDA nor the studios have said one iota concerning a 4K format being released in less than a month.

As Hot Sauce posted above these Sony titles are only mastered in 4K. Their resolution will be 1080p like any other BD release. Do you understand now?

"Mastered in 4k" does not mean "encoded in 4k". The resolution on the disk will not be 4k. These disks will be 1080p and will play on any bluray player like any other bluray.

Kind of wondering that myself since this thread already exists…https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=212350 as well as several other accurate, informative threads in the Blu-ray Technology and News Forum https://forum.blu-ray.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24 which already essentially answered all of OP’s questions over the course of time.

Perhaps Sean missed all those threads. I’ll see if I can contribute something at least to the last page without having to read everything in between because it’s late and I’m going to bed.

There are 4K up-conversion players now, native 4k players are not available yet, but they soon will be, although they won't be disk based, not yet anyway.

+1. It's like reading the last paragraph only of a news article.

Then why are you here asking questions that were answered in the first part of this thread? Come on, even I'm not that lazy.
