*** 4K Player Thread ***

Cinema screens are slightly wider than tv’s 1:1.85 vs 16:9 which accounts for the difference.

The vertical resolution dictates the quality and both are 2160.

I watched WARCRAFT today and was pleasantly surprised by the movie as i wasn't expecting it to be upto much.

Some reviews said the picture was less vibrant that the std blu-ray but i thought it looked excellent and the Atmos track was amazing.

Maybe we should have a dedicated 4k blu-ray thread in: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forums/music-box-office-tv-books.15/

So you claim I'm wrong in saying every domestic TV is badged as 4K by listing three manufacturers who all have "4K" in their product names. Whatever

Ha ha missed by a mile there. The End.

The LG UP970 4k player has just been reviewed by avforums and apparently LG has released the Dolby Vision firmware update today also for those that want a DV capable player.

A very good idea.

I'll create one when my Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 UHD blu-ray arrives, as it'll be interesting to see if it lives up to the 'BEST DISC EVER!' Hype.

Good idea. I can't wait for the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 UHD to come out. Just hoping HMV get it to me fast.
But No DV in this disk.

The Hulu DV version was incredible so be interesting to see how the HDR10 disk looks in comparison!

If this is true, some epic 4k films coming out later this year.

Highlights for me would be Interstellar, Inception and the Matrix (first one).

just noticed Sainsburys has started to sell 4k disks , they have two in my local store ( its a start !)

old news discussed already a while back in this thread. Tesco and some Asda's sell them too. Not cheap though. Been selling them months. In Trinity one in Wakefield they are hidden away slightly amongst the bargain blu rays discs.

I just got some Front Atmos speakers and now I can't seem to get Atmos to play using the Xbox One S.

The Dolby Atmos app is downloaded and videos play in Atmos if I use that.

Settings are all set correctly on the Xbox - Bitstream, Atmos etc all enabled.

Does the Xbox Blu-ray app still not properly support Atmos? I might have to just bite the bullet and get a dedicated player.

 

[VincentHanna]

Oh, for some reason I needed to cycle through the audio modes on my Denon AVR and Atmos is there.

Weird, it picks it up automatically from the Atmos App.

 

[HungryHippos]

According to this article you need to enable bistream passthrough, did you do that?

I just ordered the Bourne 4k collection, not sure if it's a pricing error but Zavvi have it at £24.99

Hopefully they honour it.

I saw that deal as well, and it looks very good if they honour it, I just don't think they will.

That's probably meant to be the price of the new film alone in 4K, they would probably be losing money if they sold it for £25.

However worth a shot if you want the films for sure, worst case scenario they have to cancel it.
