Okay, okay...so 4K Blu-rays with HDR

I am. I think the 4K UHD BD player in the X1S isn't up to par. I read it somewhere, can't remember where, but they said it's sub-par. I think I'm gonna have to agree

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

So I've been watching a ton of 4K UHD blu-rays with HDR (on my X1S). I'm not impressed. I have an LG 4K OLED and shyt barely looks better than 1080p upscale with HDR. I just watched Mad Max and the HDR was too much. It made the flames look fake as hell.

I watched Sicario and it was alright, but nothing that much more impressive than 1080p upscaled to 4K.

Is 4K UHD really that much of a difference when TVs can upscale incredibly to 4K?

for one... most of these movies ain't even shot with a 4k camera

next, the human eye can BARELY tell the difference in 1080p and 4k alone... let alone some HDR


shyt is all a waste of time and money... as they already working on 8k... yet the cameras they shoot the movies in still doing 1080p

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

To me it aint as big a jump as dvd to blu ray was. Im cool with 1080p

shyt was mind blowing

I think the problem might be the xbox

Its a notorious shytty 4k player

That thing was made for people with cheap shytty 4k tvs

Get a Panasonic UB900 or Oppo 203

Have you watched 4k blurays on another player yet?

I've seen several movies on the one s and just watched a movie on the panisonic the other day and was blown away by how much better the picture quality was

In fact it was the first time i was really blown away by 4k

Also the xbox cant bitstream Atmos,DolbyTrueHD,or DTS-HD master audio

Seriously if you're gonna spend the bread getting a flagship 4k tv you gotta spend the money and get a proper 4k player

The One s is a entry level 4k player

False. Added last year. I have Atmos.

Haven't gotten around to using another player, blew my budget on the TV, receiver and speakers. Could it be better? Possibly. X-Men Apocalypse is jaw dropping on my setup, so I'm good for now. Will probably go for a calibration before a dedicated 4K Blu-ray player. Getting a Scorpio so hopefully it will be even better. I have a feeling they won't skimp since that's something they have over PS4Pro.

Unless you're 2 feet away from your 55' you won't see much of an improvement on 4K. 4K is made for 75' sets or more. HDR makes a difference though. 4K by itself is not worth it unless you're gaming on it with a GTX1080 or 2 of them.

Nature type shyt is the best looking 4k shyt

Regular movies don't look that much better to me either

You sure you're getting real atmos or is it just a upmix because I googled and it still say the xbox doesn't bitstream hd audio but it's supposed to be coming this year

Xbox Blu-ray Bitstream Pass-Through
This week Xbox also announced that Blu-ray Bitstream pass-through, which includes Dolby Atmos support on Xbox One and Xbox One S, would be rolling out to Xbox Preview members. This feature enables all Xbox consoles to pass Blu-ray audio data untouched to a user’s audio equipment, allowing your audio receiver or other audio device to produce a high quality, immersive sound experience.

A top fan-requested feature, it enables Xbox users who have invested in pro-audio set-ups to experience the best possible audio from their Blu-ray movies. To use this feature, you will need to have your console connected over HDMI to a compatible audio receiver which supports decoding of popular Blu-ray audio formats.

Powerful Dolby Atmos Sound Coming to Xbox One and Windows 10


Looks like they just added atmos to the developers preview in December and its still not available for everybody else yet so unless you're on the developers version you don't have real atmos

The xbox is converting(and compressing) atmos audio to regular dolby and then your Marantz is upmixing it back to atmos

Unless you're an audiophile or videophile the audio and video you're getting out of the xbox is probably good enough for you but you're not getting the best out of your OLED or Marantz using the xbox as a 4k player

Once you upgrade you'll see the big difference and wish you had upgraded sooner

Atmos 7.1.4 + 4K + HDR10

There is no turning back once you see and hear it.

Besides the audio formats not being supported on the Larry box how does the video quality get affected by the player?

I have no idea. I gotta get a "real" 4K player to check out the differences (if any). Maybe my TV just upscales really well and that's why I can't see much of a difference from 1080p upscaled v. 4K native....I dunno
