How Many People in Here Actually Have a 4K TV with HDR? (Poll Included)

I got a Samsung 4K not too long ago for the living room but after the initial 
factor it was 
Barely use it unless I have company. I still rather play on my monitor upstairs
Which is exactly why this 4K shyt ain't going nowhere anytime soon
Same shyt my old man said about his big booty tv in his basement / man cave up until I got him a flat screen on Father's Day. He about to ride that out until the tv don't work anymore then buy another cheap flat screen, like most people are gonna do.
People not about to upgrade when their old flat screen works perfectly fine. That's why they're so thirsty to sell 4Ks in stores now. Workers at Best Buy dive in vultures when they see you even glance at one

I'm a big cinephile. I have surround sound and am fickle about it. I give no fukks about 4K or HDR as I want to see a movie how a director envisioned it. HDR has fukked up movies like Mad Max. I know you can turn it off, but I don't need the extra pixels.

I might have to break down and cop me something light for the bedroom.
Nothing too big though.

I'm waiting on decent 4K OLEDs to hit £1000, so around Xmas 2017. Good with my 1080P till then.

looks like it's pretty good for gaming too, movies is aite.
From Blu-Ray.com:
My approach to evaluating Max Max: Fury Road on UHD was simply to watch the film from start to finish, followed immediately by viewing selected portions of the standard Blu-ray on the same system. The UHD was played through theSamsung UBD-K8500 player, while the Blu-ray image was delivered by an Oppo BDP-103. The display, a Sony XBR-75X940C, has been professionally calibrated for Blu-ray; professional UHD calibration is not yet available.
As a long-time fan of the franchise, who stood in line to see The Road Warrior on its initial release in 1982, I have already seen Max Max: Fury Road theatrically. It's also the rare movie that I made time to watch again on Blu-ray, even though I wasn't reviewing it. The UHD image, up-sourced from the 2K digital intermediate, was undeniably impressive. Perhaps because of the increased resolution, but I suspect more likely due to the HDR processing, the images had an undeniably improved definition and depth that was all the more noticeable when as the frame became more crowded. In the opening and closing sequences at The Citadel, the elaborate patterns cut into the rock formations, the massive machinery controlled by Immortan Joe and his minions, and the crowds of young War-Boys above and huddled masses below all acquired a distinctive sharpness that rendered the image almost three-dimensional. The enhanced contrast and color intensity gave a new sense of immediacy to the monochromatic night scenes after the fugitives reach The Vuvalini; the blu-ish night is just as dark as on the Blu-ray, but somehow the figures of the younger and elder women stand out more noticeably from the frame. In the extensive chase-and-race scenes that dominate the film, I could more easily discern multiple activities occurring simultaneously, with various attackers leaping on and off the War Rig and its occupants cowering, leaping and crawling backward and forward along the hurtling vehicle. By comparison, the Blu-ray image was still impressive, but it did not convey the same sense of an alternate world that one could almost reach out and touch.
But the combination of HDR and enhanced resolution is not an unalloyed benefit. Anyone accustomed to watching classic films on Blu-ray should be familiar with the phenomenon in which such staples as matte paintings, rear projection and painted backdrops became obvious, sometimes distractingly so, with the increased sharpness and resolution of 1080p. Something similar happens with certain visual elements in Fury Road. The most common culprit is flame, which frequently accompanies the action, whether as weapon, decoration (notably the Doof-mobile) or the outcome of some spectacular crash. If you watch the extras on the Fury Road Blu-ray, it's obvious that the film's flame effects are a combination of practical and CG, but on the UHD almost every flame looks like a painted cartoon. Just as the enhanced depth and detail are pulling you into the film's ravaged wasteland, the artificiality of these effects pushes you back out. The same is true for the fierce dust storm in which Furiosa first loses her pursuers; in its theatrical and Blu-ray presentation, the storm was convincing and credible, but on UHD one is struck by the obviousness of the computer imagery.
Now, it's entirely possible that all Fury Road needs to overcome these issues is an HDR re-grading. This is, after all, an infant format. But these (to me) very obvious blemishes on an otherwise impressive presentation raise anew the whole question of what it means to revise a film with up-rezzing and HDR. Blu-ray afficionados have spent ten years urging studios to respect a film's original appearance and not to revise it for greater "pop". UHD and HDR present the same possibilities for post-release tinkering, and both the good and the bad points are obvious in Warner's treatment of Fury Road.
As an aside, I should note that, even before viewing the UHD release, I had already watched an extremely tactile and three-dimensional version of Fury Road, without the problematic elements of unrealistic flame and obvious CGI. The film was released in 3D both to theaters and on Blu-ray, and that version provides many of the UHD disc's benefits (though in a different form) without the accompanying negatives. (Of course, 3D has its own negatives.)
My video score for the Fury Road UHD has to be provisional, because there's so little with which to compare it at this early date in the format. As has been suggested by many, UHD should be held to a higher standard than Blu-ray, and for that reason I am giving the disc a lesser video score than the Blu-ray's 5.0, because of the issues described above. Still, it gets enough right to warrant high marks, as we continue to learn about UHD's potential.
Because a lot of special effects aren't rendered in 4K, they stand out and look extra fake.
