Whats the last Bluray you watched?

[bmoney]

Watched magnificent 7 4k this morning. Greta movie. Outstanding atmos. But was SUPER dark. Couldn't get my picture correct

I even tossed on the reg bluray. And same thing. Maybe it's meant to be that way. But too bad with Denzel being in all black

Quick OT question. What should I be calibrating my black level and clipping level to whenusing the Sony test patterns?

Are you watching with HDR, and what projector ? I have this 4K disc coming ( with Sully ). If the Blu Ray is equally dark, I'd say it's the transfer. Sort of like the first half of " Star Trek Beyond " is somewhat dark.

yes on the rs400

but after reading reviews...the black level is really dark (obviously in the nighttime scenes) so i guess its the transfer

watched

Sully 4k.....man what a GREAT transfer...top 3 imho

awesome sound which was surprising..and great new perspective on the incident especially since my wife is ATC

[bmoney]

Storks 4k

just a meh movie....my son wanted to watch it and liked it....not one of the best animation movies

the transfer wasn't one of the best on 4k either which is disappointing for animation

I can't get myself to watch the remake. The original however, looks outstanding on Blu Ray. Quite the remaster. I imagine they have a 4K master from that work ready to go for a 4K version !

Last night, Mrs K and I watched (in Dolby Atmos):

That 4K remaster is the one I'm waiting for!! Can't wait to see Charlton in full glory...   

Quick story:  We visited Rome (business trip) in the late '90s -- staying a week in a palazo near the Circus Maximus.  On the first day walking to the Metro, I passed a wall before turning into the Circus Maximus.  Immediately in front of me was a thundering, dust spewing chariot charging right at me!  Caused a huge leap in my heart as I was thrown back 2000 years!  Took a few seconds to adjust and realize that I would not be hit -- and come back to the present age...

Nice ! Yes, Ben Hur, and Gladiator ( another favorite film of mine ) would be no brainer re - purchases in 4K. Although both look damn good now on Blu Ray.

Watched Into Darkness followed by Beyond in UHD BT.2020 SDR again in succession.

I can't understand why the new director made the first portion of Beyond so dark.  Sometimes I think it is just because he thought to himself...   If we darken these scenes, look how bright and luminous all the control panels appear.   Or maybe it was a colorist who did.

I had to increase brightness 3 clicks and then back it off again once they got down to the planet.

Good question. Having watched it twice, I just seems like some of the interior shots are more subdued brightness wise. I need to re - watch this now that I have the Panasonic 4K player.
