Afternoon.....
So after handing on to my 3D 1080p TV for years (I actually enjoy 3D films he he), I've finally gone 4k and got a new TV (LG OLED)
I've really cut down over the years on buying films (do miss the days of walking around HMV picking out 5 for £20 dvds or whatever it was - if I see a HMV now, I resist and don't go in..) , but now I'm thinking of getting a few films to see what 4k is all about. I picked up Logan, Jaws, The Joker and TDK trilogy, but have only watched Logan so far (hadn't seen it since the cinema years ago)
I could really tell much difference between a regular Blue ray and watching in 4k, apart from some of the colours looked pretty impressive (some of the lighting like lamps or candles had a nice glow ); that'll be the HDR I guess, which is cool, but can anyone really tell much difference other than noticing a little more detail?
My TV is only 48" (my other half wasn't keen on anything bigger, but we sit fairly close to the screen anyway)
Gaming wise (the main reason I wanted to upgrade as have a PS5 and Series X now), I haven't had much time to see if I can notice the difference - have only tried Dirt 5 and Gran Turismo Sport (both PS4 games really, but Dirt 5 has more of a PS5 upgrade rather than just higher FR); as with 4k BR, all I've noticed so far is nicer colours as a result of HDR. (Haven't tried any 120Hz modes yet, but I'd prefer 4K @ 60 rather than lower rez/adaptive res). Haven't tried the Variable refresh rate yet either, although that sounds promising for smoothing out some frame drops
What does everyone think of 4k overall?; a big leap?; Which games or films should I try out on my new TV to really see the difference?
Also, I'm a bit of a sucker for decent special features when I buy films, such as long docs (I know Dawn of the Dead, one of my fav films has great docs, but I already own two versions of that on BR and DVD and so am questioning if I should buy the 4k version - probably will!..) . so any recommendations there would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Den
