Here's another one I just recently purchased on Blu-ray and now the 4K version surfaces.

 

[Michael Scott]

tell me about it. It's looking like all of those 4K remasters Sony did about 2 years ago and released upgrades of are coming to 4K..

Best to wait till everything is in 4K ultra HD? lol.

 

[Todd Anderson]

So they're up converting all of these old titles. But can we really see a difference at normal viewing distances? I'm weary of any older film claiming HDR, simply because the film wasn't shot with HDR in mind.

Hmmm....

 

[Michael Scott]

I wouldn't say upconverted. they were remastered with a full 4K master from film elements (35mm and above have way more information than even 4K can hold), but the HDR you are correct on. pretty much any non new new release is re color timed with HDR.... Clint Eastwood actually manually resupervised the Unforgiven 4K to try and time it just right...

and as for "if we can tell at normal distances". I can def tell on the new ones like 5th Element and Leon: The Professional that's for sure.
