That's a great name for what I'm experiencing. It's transformed how I perceive Parks and Rec streamed on Netflix. It's basically a different show now.

that's definitely an issue with some things as fx are handled in 2k a lot of the time, but I thought Ready Player One in 4k looked great overall. DId you turn off the SOE/motion option?That's a great name for what I'm experiencing. It's transformed how I perceive Parks and Rec streamed on Netflix. It's basically a different show now.

The very first thing I watched on it was the opening race sequence from Ready Player One in 4k. It's so crisp that you can 'see' the CGI a lot clearer, it's nearly a letdown. Nearly. Amazing stuff, though.
if you have a roku 4k or chromecast ultra, you can really take advantage of 4k youtube videos with HDR. Google is funny about what devices actually broadcast HDR through youtube, so you have to dig a little. I think those 2 above and the shield tv all do, not sure about apple tv. Also can't watch HDR movies through Google Play except with a chromecast ultraLBL, the Youtube 4k timelapses are exceptional. A lot of the 4k content is just regular channels that happen to be shot in 4k. But the ones that are shooting to the medium are fantastic.
I watch on a PS4 Pro; I purchased RPO through Youtube and it's coming through as HDR, at least the TV thinks it is as it puts up an HDR notification when I launch, same as Netflix.if you have a roku 4k or chromecast ultra, you can really take advantage of 4k youtube videos with HDR.

I can't remember if you're local, but I"m having a party starting next Friday night through Sunday at the house, you're welcome to stop by. It has a video game theme to it so the TV will be going through its paces most of the time.I'd be interested to see how 4K looks on a large screen like the one you got.
I am local, however I go camping with a buddy and his family over Labor Day. I appreciate the offer though!I can't remember if you're local, but I"m having a party starting next Friday night through Sunday at the house, you're welcome to stop by.

Same here. I don’t subscribe to Netflix, so the only 4K content for me would be YouTube and torrents - which is still sparse, at this point. I’m also a bit further away from my TV than 4K would really be best viewed at.The three biggest reservations I've had regarding updating to a 4k display: Relative lack of native content, reservations about what 1080 up-res material looks like, and a compromised viewing environment.
That's my biggest worry. I have 1,000+ DVDs. They look darn good on a 1080p display but I imagine they wouldn't hold up well at all on 4K.reservations about what 1080 up-res material looks like, and a compromised viewing environment.
Netflix requires all new content to film in 4k, they are leading the pack in regards to this. I specifically went the Sony route because of their processer and upgrading content. Bluray look incredible in 4k and a lot of the time, you'd be hard pressed to see the difference between that and an actual 4k disc. I watched a burned DVD from 18 years ago last week and was impressed with what it could do. That's completely on Sony and their X1 chip or whatever it is, incredible stuff. I read an article recently about the DVD, bluray and uhd market and was shocked at how big DVD sales still are. UHD was somewhere around 5%.Same here.

Grand tour on Amazon in 4k is glorious, easily up there with the best I've seen on Amazon.The only native 4k content I know I consume is The Grand Tour on Amazon.
I'd like to see what the up-res stuff looks like; I'm told that because the source material is high-res to start, that it's better going 1080-4k than 480-1080, despite being something like 4x the jump in pixels.
