@Arrival - welcome to HDN.Hi Everybody ☺
I bought my LOTR from HMV. If I may suggest, just for a precaution, please watch your copies. I want to let you know that one of the "Two Towers Extended Edition" (Disc 1) has a multiple problems that prevent the movie from being played.
Those are:
- sound problems,
- the picture is lagging, freezing and skips to another shot.
This certain UHD Disc is not scratched.
The equipment for playing 4K discs is from the highest shelf (brand new 4K Player Sony).
Other movies in 4K plays flawlessly.
The problem is with the 4K disc from LOTR Set.
Solution... The only resolve HMV offered is return it back for a full refund.
I hope your copies are fine!
All the best for all of you

Thank you so much IRON MAN@Arrival Welcome to HDN.
Hi Felix! Both Tv and 4k player have updated firmware. HDMI cable is certified and with length 1 m. The player is connected straight to Tv.@Arrival - welcome to HDN.
Have you tried updating firmware on both Blu-Ray player and TV?
Do you have a certified HDMI cable between the player and TV? Is this cable longer than 3 meters?
Have something else between player and TV (like an AVR or a image processor of any kind)?
If you'll answer to all this questions, we might be able to help you better ... if it is not too late and you already had returned the movies...
Then I think it can be indeed the discs themselves with problems. It could happen sometimes that just few disks to have some issues due to the materials used... so not something that could be seen in an quality check, at a larger scale, but just very few pieces.Hi Felix!

I had an issue like that with my Thor: Ragnorok 4K UHD disc recently. I took it out, wiped it with a soft dry cloth and put it back in again. Re-started playback from a couple of mins before it had started playing up and it played perfectly all the way through the rest of the film. I couldn't see any scratches or dust on the disc when I examined it, but just giving it a wipe seemed to do the trick!Hi Everybody ☺

welcome to HDN, @Arrival! yeah, i have had this sort of artefacting on a few premium release discs . in those cases, it was actual coding errors in the disc in manufacture, rather than firmware or disc cleanliness issues (which as other Ninjas have said above, it can be). i hope you manage to get it sorted and/or replaced ASAP!Hi Everybody ☺
