Everything is a gimmick according to Sup Forums, even ssd's are called gimmicks here
Lincoln Brown
Not gonna install gentoo
Connor Fisher
Numbers don't lie.
A 55" 4K TV is optimal at 3' 7". No one sits that fucking close to a 55" display.
Brandon Reed
Regardless, any high end t.v. has 4k nowadays anyway.
I didn't buy the t.v. for 4k, I bought it for HDR, a bigger screen, wider color gamut, higher refresh rate, and because it has a 10 bit panel over my old 8 bit panel. The 4k is just a nice bonus, even if some people will argue it doesn't make a difference.
Nolan Sanders
Nobody knows the answer?
Michael Hernandez
The only drawback to 4K content is how fucking big it is. Glad I bought into the 4K meme early though, I'm loving it.
As for storage device, nothing really specific. Anything decent will do. I just use a 4TB HDD USB enclosure.
Brody Peterson
>t. poorfag
Jacob Thomas
NAS with PLEX
Hudson Adams
So the storage device doesn't really matter?
Carson Gray
Nah, not at all.
Evan Morgan
Yeah the files are like 70gb, top kek
Thomas Kelly
Word. I was like "Haha time to download my first 4K master race content!" then saw a 56GB file for a movie and was just like "Aw hell naw, senpai."
Thank god I have FIOS.
Jacob Evans
What kind of mediaplayer do you use to play 4k hdr content, or do you just use your tv?
Owen Hall
I just use my TV.
Kevin Peterson
Which one?
Jeremiah Wilson
>I bought a 4k ultra HD premium t.v.
Ethan Davis
Got an LG 60UH6150. Well worth it imo.
Lucas Mitchell
Stay mad
Gabriel Morgan
I guess it's already been answered, but any normal harddrive will do, I just use 2-4TB WDs.
Also all those 10bit hevc mkv files you might have torrented work just fine on the tv. Oddly enough while h264 mkv's work fine, 10 bit ones aren't supported.
Isaiah Taylor
>LG 60UH6150 That's a big t.v.
Thomas King
Enjoy your non-existing content
Mason Torres
Heck yeah it is. Got this badboy mounted right up on the wall over my PC monitor.
Cameron Sanders
Thanks m8, so this should work?
Jaxson Torres
Yes
Ryan Jones
That's awesome
Wyatt Reyes
...
Mason Cook
>>>>>>optimal
Literally couldn't give a fuck about "optimal". Lighting and particle effects in games look great on my 4K TV from the distance I sit.
Anyway, how can a resolution be a gimmick? That doesn't even make sense. Some use cases demand more pixels than others, you cater accordingly.
Bentley Miller
>4K UltraHD BluRay lol no
Michael Murphy
lel that's a 1080p upscale
Wyatt Collins
It's 35mm film 'mastered' into a 10bit hevc encode, where did you get source that it was an upscale?
Charles Adams
BTFO
Zachary Hughes
I guess it has about 30mins shot in imax and 8 in 65mm still doesn't explain where you got 1080p upscale from.
Adam Cook
He's just portraying the typle uneducated mad response of somebody who doesn't have acces to 4k content
Bentley White
because the file says 4K BD even though AACS2.0 has yet to be cracked
Andrew Rodriguez
Sounds pretty awesome to me
Isaac Carter
whoops, meant this ofcourse
Lincoln Brown
>Upscaled from 2k master. Ahahaha
Joseph Carter
Did you read the actual text?
You sound like somebody seeing a 9/10 but saying 'pointy elbows would not bang 1/10'
Samuel Reed
Yeah it basically says it's upscaled but looks a lot better than the 1080p release. I'm just laughing at the fact that they used a 2k master source when they have 35mm raws that they where too lazy or cheap to digitize again and make a proper master source.
Brandon Rivera
>Yeah it basically says it's upscaled but looks a lot better than the 1080p release. Coupled with proper HDR, it sounds like a pretty amazing movie experience, don't see the issue
Adam Butler
The movie itself is fine, the issue is that it could have been better. Also when they originally made the master source, they weren't thinking UHD is about the be the standard lets digitize this at around 8k or you know at least 4k. They made a 2k source instead.
Christian Johnson
I see, would the difference be very visible though?
Daniel Gomez
Bunch of retards, AACS2.0 hasn't been cracked and that's not an HDCP stream rip. It's just an upscale some mongoloid did with the 1080p bluray. Typical consumerist 4k drones.
John Ward
So lets concede it isn't a true 4k format coupled with HDR it still sounds like a much better experience than regular 1080p SDR content
Brandon Clark
>he fell the blu-ray upscale
Joseph Wilson
>AACS2.0 hasn't been cracked Wtf does that even mean
Leo Cruz
You missed point in that that's not the UHD Blueray, that's some dude on the intenet who upscaled the 1080p blueray.
Jonathan Richardson
It's supposed to mean that we can't dumb 4k UHD Blueray discs and watch the video content yet.
Nathan Bell
That it is impossible to rip 4K BDs at this point
Colton Cox
>dumb dump fuck me
Dylan Long
Does it matter though, would one really see the difference? And would the impact be as big as moving away from 1080 SDR content to this type of upscaled HDR content?
Caleb Hall
Yeah no it doesn't. No upscale will look better than the original no matter what memes like HDR you throw at it much less when some retard who likes upscales encoded it.
Carson Williams
Yes, in this case you WANT the 1080p blueray over this.
Yes, but this is an upscale from the 2k source NOT the already lossy blueray. It won't look as good as the 2k source, but we don't have the source. So it should look better than the 1080p blueray.
Christian Wood
>no matter what memes like HDR you throw at it
You just called HDR a meme, this completey discredits anything you are saying on this topic, you are simply ignorant
Dominic Morris
Sorry this is not from the 2k source. The UHD Blueray is.
Andrew Myers
>Yes, but this is an upscale from the 2k source NOT the already lossy blueray. What? i'm talking about the star trek encode, the source is the 1080p bluray.
Charles Cook
No it isn't
Dominic Rodriguez
t. faggot who doesn't even know what HDR is
Christopher Wilson
Yeah corrected myself here Conversation is getting confusing: UHD Blueray > 1080p Blueray > Random internet reencode upscale
They seem to think it's a reencode from someone on the interent on account of UHD Blueray's being uncrackable at this time.
Hudson Collins
You don't know what HDR is if you call it a meme
Jose Wilson
>Blueray pls
Andrew Davis
You clearly don't know what it is since you think it just magically makes some NON HDR upscale look better even though you can apply it to the original source of the upscale as well.
Elijah Edwards
Actually doom9 has experimented with removing banding with 8 bit content upscaled to 10 bit for many years. That's where all these 10 bit anime encodes came from.
Jonathan Powell
it's time to stop. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about
Brandon Hernandez
Fallacy, you don't need 10bit to remove banding. Go away.
Kayden Hughes
tl;dr
The only thing I want to know is wether watching this
on a capable HDR 4k tv (so ultra HD premium, not some cheap model). will look better than on a standard 1080 non hdr capable tv?
For the rest, I don't care, even though you might be right
Mason Wood
Will probably look better on a 4k HDR capable tv.
Lincoln Bailey
It won't.
Christopher Clark
It won't look better
Jacob Barnes
Sup Forums
Logan Ward
...
Landon Hall
So after "ultra" what word are they gonna use to market higher resolutions?
Matthew Jackson
So you're assuming HDR doesn't add anything to the experience?
Aaron Miller
Why not just, you know look at it on both?
Gavin Allen
No, it won't much less on your shitty 55'' tv.
Sebastian Robinson
Well ofcourse I plan on doing that.
I just feel it's just another thing that Sup Forums calls a meme, when it really isn't.
Caleb Cox
Hyper HD aka HHD for the goyim
Cooper Moore
49 inches
David Foster
Why is it so hard to crack UHD BDs What's so special about them
Tyler Price
And you're assuming it won't add to the experience of watching the 1080p bluray as well.
Xavier Evans
lel even worse, why would you buy a 4k meme tv under 65'' anyways? totally retarded
Henry Lee
It won't on a t.v. that isn't capable of displaying a wide enough colour gamut, and/or high enough peak brightness which is what I was comparing it to
Ryan Butler
I'm confused, are you saying it's a meme, or are you conceding here that it actualy matters at higher display sizes? You can't have both
I'm not saying it looks better, i agree with you completely, i'm just trying to show him his failed thinking. It'll change the lightness colors on both the upscale and the bluray source.
Elijah Jenkins
What he means is that you're dumb enough to buy a 4k tv and also even dumber to buy one under 65 inches.
You are making the classical mistake of thinking the technique behind HDR photographs is comparable to the technique behind HDR content on a television. It isn't.
Which is why you can display an HDR photograph in full glory on a non HDR screen, but you can't display HDR content in it's full glory on a tv screen that lacks the required brightness or color levels
Nicholas Wood
mentioning display size as a relevant factor means 4k is not a meme. Which is what he is conceding to with his dumb ass post, and so are you.
Ian Thomas
I'm not conceding anything though. You're so retarded that you not only fell for a meme but also for the shittier version of the meme aka a small 4k tv in which you notice jack shit difference unless you sit 3'' away from the screen, good going there pal.
>but also for the shittier version of the meme So you are conceding 4k isn't a meme, based on the display size (since you imply a difference between two 4k screens of different display sizes). Glad we got that straight.
Lincoln Gomez
There you go, an actual article that go's into the differences, not just a wikipedia article describing hdr video.
