Well, based on your response, I can tell that you'll never consider spending a few extra dollars for a 4k disc or are not happy having to, and that's cool

Just trying to say I don't mind spending a few extra dollars on something I may eventually wind up using. I didn't plan on upgrading my tv until I had a need to, and it opened up doors to fun home movie experiences, regardless of being an early adopter or not.

Don't want to start a format debate

It's fine. The bump in resolution is negligible (below 75" TVs). The real upgrade is in the wider color gamut. I have no crystal ball for when 8K usurps 4K.
But the the thing is - there is no need to replace your blu rays. The 4K upgrade on 1080p is fabulous (and much more impressive than the 1080p upgrade to 480 DVDs).
Aside from the (for now) outlier 4K transfers that are killer, I don't really see the major attraction.
Unless the transfers get better - it's a non-starter. A great 1080p transfer upconverted is better than a 4K disc with a crappy transfer. 4K is fine - but it isn't the dramatic jump that DVD to Blu ray was.
(Of course in the showroom they will put it on an OLED TV and put on motion smoothing to make it look like it IS a dramatic change. (OLED is killer, a but that is because of its own tech achievements- everything looks great on OLED.)

 

[K.i.T]

An alternate idea, One set with only 2D and 3D, One with 2D, 3D and 4K in a lower print(given that we are in a Minority), which will definitively be sold out(rare), given that it does not have an inapropriate slip as it was for the FAC IronMan Slip for a Film about SpiderMan.

Nice story bro but did you consider the 3D audio tracks which a lot of BD releases don't have?!?

Do you also have a list DTS:X & AURO-3D?

Do you also have a list DTS:X & AURO-3D?

Not handy....
(Although, it is probably smaller than the ATMOS list)

Remember that Atmos, Auro 3D & DTS X are not exclusive to UHD.
I just realized my German Turbine JOHNNY MNEMONIC blu ray is an Auro 3D!
I have no dog in the object based audio fight. Based on size and shape of my AV room, I can't move beyond 5.1.
Curious - do you favor one over the others?

@larson1977
Thought you might find these audio bits interesting.
Conceivably- we could go back to two speakers for audio if they get this right:

What‘s your impression? You like it?

What‘s your impression? You like it?

Yeah I do. The lenti although very busy is very good and the Slip has some nice little touches. My main complaint; as with all silver label titles is the loose lenti

 

[larson1977]

great edition for a bad movie
