“Mastered in 4K” Blu-ray releases will feature titles—such as The Amazing Spider-Man™, Total Recall, The Karate Kid, Battle: Los Angeles and The Other Guys—sourced from pristine 4K masters and presented at high-bitrate 1080p resolution, with expanded color showcasing more of the wide range of rich color contained in the original source. When upscaled via the Sony 4K Ultra HD TVs, these discs serve as an ideal way for consumers to experience near-4K picture quality. SPHE also plans to utilize available high quality 4K masters for select upcoming new release Blu-ray titles. “Mastered in 4K” Blu-ray Discs can be played on all existing Blu-ray Disc players.
4K Mastered Mastered in 4k Titles Announced

idk that's a good question ... cause it says mastered in 4k but presented in 1080p. Sounds like the superbit dvds lol. My guess is, if you noticed how awesome the quality is always on blu-ray digibooks from warner ... its like perfect transfers.... my guess is it will feel comparable. Obviously it should be better if mastered in 4k ... but I'll def pick up a title here in a few months and find out.
Price point on any of these revealed? So these are not really 4K blu's? Im confused, lol... If its still 1080p whats the difference.... 
I'm not quite understanding..Are these actual 4k discs??..If so, most blu ray players will take forever,if at all, to upload the content for playback..I also don't think we will see much of a difference, on a 1080p tv...
Either way, I'm sure I will still buy them and check them out

so its like superbit but for blu-rays?
I think that's what it sounds like yeah. You obviously need the set up to get the real benefit but I will check one out when they come out to see if if makes a difference to the picture quality.
Maybe it's the same situation with IMAX movies? Dark Knight and TDKR.Will we see a Big difference in quality? I mean with current HDTV and not in 4k TV's
Yeah. Definitely sounds like superbit blu ray. Another way to take money off the consumer. And we'll all go for it
To make these 4k superbit titles stand out, they'll have to make new releases on normal blu look sub par. Add some filtering to take out detail in the picture.
It's barely worth doing the original in 1080p let alone doing it in 4k
I know, I was being hopeful. :tear:
Not sure why The Karate Kid is on there lol? That be the one to get for me if its the original 1984 version 
Only thing this means "possibly" is better quality, which is good. But don't forget it's 4K on 1080p! Which is under 2K leaving 2020K's out the experience. This is Superbit all over again. So remember whether 8K, 4K or even 2K its still be viewed on 1080period 
Oops!
Just saw Wreck talked about this earlier, great minds think alike

ive seen the 'mastered in 4k' or 'from 4k masters' for a while now (sure the bond titles had reference to 4k masters)
it doesnt bother me too much tho, i dont see me ever having a tv big enough to make use of 4k.

If the resolution remains the same i.e. 1080p, then what exactly is the benefit of 4K over a standard blu-ray? I'm sorry if this question is stupid, but I really cant figure it out
