Actually 4K is not that wow effect like old time switch from 480p to 1080p but still pretty confirmed 4K is sharpen and clear.

HDR wise either you like it or dislike it, HDR never looks natural since long ago (start from photo in HDR format). It is more vibrancy and make dark area much clear and bright, in short - it is more unnatural.

It is not that easier to calibrate both same especially TV vs Monitor. TV had a lot enhancement to the image where Monitor is much actual looks on it.

I can't calibrate both same also, my TV is more towards cool (slight blueish) than monitor warm (slight yellowish) and this is what I want also, so it is very ok to me.

TV can force display everything in HDR like output. At least my Panasonic TV can but this is totally wrong.

You need to check back what had you done in your TV setting.

Recently I keep browsing 4K title and notice actually too many 4K title is upscale not native.

Hope more and more titles is in native 4K.

I still buy blu-ray but more digital copy welcome for me. I don't see big different actually. Probably due to different codec and compression but not means it is not good.

I can't said it is same quality as BD but after compare and it is very close to my acceptable level and I enjoy it. The importance is enjoyment or not.

For me Netflix Malaysia is far than enough and cannot finish watch the shows already.

I don't get Netflix US because it is troublesome need VPN.

I know the differences of Movies catalog in Malaysia v/s US where Netflix Movies is slow in Malaysia but I don't care because I seldom watch movies from Netflix.

Movies I watch from iTunes US, UK and Malaysia because it is far better quality with up to 4K HDR compare with Netflix.

Netflix for me mainly in TV series especially those Original Netflix Series where it is same timing with US.

Some more I not only watching English series/movies, I also watch others, you can't get most Asian series/movies in US Netflix.
In short, Netflix Malaysia had more variety choices than US.

I am shock when I watch it. That Ghostbusters is an old master, quality like shit keep flickering, you can Google and notice people said where Netflix get the source.

New transfer of Ghostbuster is free of flickering and in 4K HDR now.

It should be less than 10 for none Netflix Original is 4K.

Netflix Original wise do a lot have 4K or 4K HDR.

Yup the request is working, I had request American Horror Story and it is coming as well.

Yup, and I am addicted to iTunes Movies already, for streaming, the quality is SUPERB.

I already total bought 154 iTunes Movies from US, UK and Malaysia within 3 months.

iFlix only SD quality, too bad quality already. 99% show in iFlix is SD only.

Actually iFlix a lot movies and choices, but too bad mostly is SD quality only.

Netflix play everything in original aspect ratio and this is the suppose way to watch it.

Netflix won't let you zoom to full 16:9 if the film is 21:6 or 4:3 as it is fixed in original aspect ratio.
Also won't stretching as it is simply awful to watch everything in wrong ratio.

Second thing, some TV brand will you know it is in HDR or not, at least my Panasonic TV do that.

If you want straight go to UHD from Netflix, 1st you need to make sure your bandwidth is more than enough, 2nd I notice Apple TV 4K Box did better, from my experience in Panasonic TV Netflix, Mi Box Netflix and also Apple TV 4K Netflix and only Apple TV 4K looks like immediate sharp and clear when movie play from Netflix. I don't own Nvidia Shield and no idea how Nvidia Shield perform yet. Others TV Box mostly don't support Netflix in 4K.

This most TV or box can't tell as it is auto upscale 1080p to 2160p.

For Panasonic TV Netflix do can tell by pressing the i button as it will show exact resolution but I didn't use that as my Netflix in Apple TV 4K did far better.

Yup Netflix won't tell. Not important as long it is clear and sharp and your line is capable of, then no issue and they will give you in 4K HDR if the film is 4K HDR. Not much title in 1080p HDR though.

Totally agree! Smart TV still not that smart and great yet, TV Box still is a must for better options.

Talk about that Our Planet, it waste my 4 night to complete it as I want 2160p HDR version where only at Torrent but not others place, others version at others place is either 2160p SDR or 1080p SDR and DiGi consider not support torrent, DiGi torrent speed is max 4kbps, DiGi better just block it. lol, lucky Maxis can up to 1.5mbps but on night time 1 AM to 7 AM only, others time it is 0kbps.

I do have subscribe Netflix, but I love David Attenborough documentary and I prefer to watch it offline sometimes when needed. Haha!

Actually I don't find 4K is spectacular at all, if no HDR, 4K is nothing.

"chances are 4k hdr tv's will become mainstream; 1080p sdr or 4k sdr tv's will die off soon.
just like the demise of HD Ready 720p tv's from a decade ago." - Totally agree!

1080p HDR is pass-by, it won't mainstream and forgotten very soon I believe.

This two reason. Haha!

If your TV is below 75", the 4K is not helping that much. It do can seen the differences but it is not that spectacular like from DVD to Blu-ray era. The impact is too little already if only 4K itself.

HDR wise is different story, it make wow impact to me especially those old film that had been released as 4K HDR.

Wow! RM 50K!

Anyway I am very appreciated happen of 4K HDR. This make me re-watch old movies that transfer in this format.

Wah! Betamax! I never seen before in my life!

VCD - the most failure format, it actually is a format that get throw.
LD - very short life time, I still remember that time in my home town happen a lot of LD home entertainment shop for you to watch movie inside.

8K possible happen but not so soon I believe, also old film in analog format seems scan size limited to 8K already, any above it wonder how will it looks like, 12bit possible happen 1st, maybe will start with new format of 4K media since they is already start in this project.
