RE: Anyone experimenting with 4K TV ?

Posted by Dynamite Ham on February 26, 2026 at 10:27:57:
I've found both 4k and 1080p are too compressed to bother with on streaming services.

They do look and sound great on regular and UHD blu-rays.

The biggest advantage for me with physical media is getting uncompressed Dolby Atmos which in my room and system sounds fantastic. The Atmos track on Fellowship of the Ring is a knockout. If you have standard 1080p bluray The Man From Uncle Atmos soundtrack is amazing and the movie itself is on of my favorites.
