So glad to see someone else think so.
'They' knew there wasn't much improvement in PQ, so tacked on the Horrendously Dull Recoloration layer, making colors either artificially clown-like looking, or washed out and dim like in 'theater mode', with a projector lamp dying.
I'm glad at least with pirate torrents there's usually a choice to get 2160p resolution without HDR.
Ita definitely a format that comes down to personal preference way more than it overwhelmingly being agreed to 'look better' by the masses.
Many people can't see the difference in PQ from Bluray to DVD (so they claim, but when they go back to HD and it looks 'hazy' they tend to change their mind lol) so even less will see the 4k 'upgrade', then throw in the limitations of smaller screens not being able to fully show off the additional detail, plus streaming being able to actually compete...why would anyone bother upgrading to 4k?
Now, don't get me wrong, 4k gaming is a whole other animal, but a lot of that is down to the games being 60/120 frames than the extra pixels/HDR.
Everything you are saying about 4k is objectively untrue.
Nope...That's just your opinion, on my own opinions
It doesn't matter that on paper 4k is 'better' ...if I can't see or dislike the end result on offer, am not interested.
It's akin to the ps5 vs xbx - on paper the x is and therefore should be WAY better, but in experience the ps5 is the winner.
If you like 4k, good for you.
I don't. I near detest it now it's the only option for steelbooks - what about a £20 blu-ray only version if the £25 3d disc versions are out of the picture?
There is also a huge increase, post covid, of a MCU steels staying I stock....I remember when both 4k Nd 3d editions sold out...now they struggle with just the one. Why? Because of greed and lack of choice mainly, I'd bet (and shoddy artwork, but when the first two points weren't so much an issue, we, myself included, gave them passes on the artwork and purchased anyway)
You are entitled to your opinion.
But it's not true/untrue by any measure. Its merely opinion.
