I liked Arrival & got the 4K from Bestbuy for $7.99 11/15/21, I guess you missed that sd Smilie
I didn't own the blu-ray so like you said for $8 it's not too priced outrageous. For a drab & dreary filmed movie it should be ok in 4K.
Lol actually that was my price point and picked it up and others 😁.

That movie is a great example on how this whole jump the chain and get a better display is a better thing to do is a kinda misleading IMO.

I don't know which player you have but if you play the UHD which has HDR and the BD disc you will see how it will not do much with PQ.

Unfortunately the transfer of that movie isn't very good and the advantage of HDR just isn't taken advantage in the transfer.

The display displays what it's fed, no way around that.
Tone mapping doesn't correct a bad transfer it just downscales the transfer so your display can process it.

Straight answer IMO yes it would. That's based on comparison of many BD disc not just one.

Thee best way to find is do the exact same thing he did EXCEPT use several disc because the transfer of movies vary widely.
That's what I want to know. Thanks!

I'm surprised with a Dolby overhead layout you don't have the 820 with DV. My sound system dwarfs the cost of the OLED.
Lol let me guess you got this advice from BB 😜.
Let me guess they told you the new object based sound is no better than channel based sound, no reason to upgrade.
You do realize DV is irrelevant to audio?
Oh btw I do have the 820 in our dedicated room on an OLED display(420 in living room) 😁

Streaming is for people who think compressed music is the same as vinyl, or .jpg is the same as RAW. There's a difference. If you can't tell the difference, then disc players aren't for you. LMAO

Maybe you could give an example of a movie that has subpar transfer.
Whew let's see off the top of my head…Arrival, War of the Worlds,Top Gun, Bourne movies, HP series wasn't great and in my opinion any that didn't get audio upgrade.

The comment was purely aimed at the 820 that has DV vs the 420 without. I believe all onboard this thread understand the definition of Dolby.

Lol ok good point, add that to the list also and no audio upgrade on top of that!!! 😡

Yes that's the point why would you make a comment about Dolby and reference DV as the difference between the two players!

You do understand there is no real difference(if at all) between the 820 vs 420 concerning Dolby right?

Acknowledging this isn't something you're supposed to even consider, but anyone know if either have physical buttons under a lid or something?

I've lost the remote to my blu ray player, thinking about just getting a modern one like this instead of replacing its remote. Just in the meantime I think it's crazy you can't even use basic functions on some of these just with the buttons on the unit. Again ridiculous purchase criteria for normal people haha, just something that matters in my world for no good reason
Unfortunately the Physical Button disappearance is here to stay. You are lucky to have a power on/off and eject button on anything made in the last 10 years.

The 820 supports DV, while the 420 does not:

"Dolby Vision is an HDR standard that uses dynamic metadata. The aim is to give you better visuals and improve the image quality. The main difference between Dolby Vision and HDR10 is the colour depth and brightness the content and equipment is capable of achieving"

Hope this also helps you:

Anyone with a halfway decent sound system among other reasons (ie a given title you really like being removed at random). Streamed Audio sounds like neutered garbage by comparison to it's disc counterpart. I've even found some solid DVDs that beat out their HD Streamed Counterparts for Audio.

No but you can help me by explaining what it has to do with this statement you made and my point!

"I'm surprised with a Dolby overhead layout you don't have the 820 with DV" Facepalm

Maybe you shouldn't take advice from BB and maybe "this also helps you:"

Since you were talking up your Dolby overhead, I referenced the 820 with DV figuring you must have vision also and I was correct. Though it doesn't appear that you knew the specs of the 820, not surprising. Were you turned down by BB for a sales or cashier job? Something rattled your cage at BB it seems.

"this is getting humorous"!!!!
This keeps coming up AGAIN because of your BB logic!!!🙄

Here let me try dumb it down for you!
The "specs" on the 820 regarding "Dolby" for my overhead setup are NO benefit over the 420.
Because the 820 has "DV" and the 420 does not is completely IRRELEVANT regarding that!!!…..Geeez 🙄

Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos are NOT the same thing!!!!!

Here is more humor logic:
You buy a high end 4K OLED display and you say your audio setup "dwarfs" your display but yet your are sweating a $150 player!!!! 🤔

Even better you keep your 1080P BD player because BB told you a 4K player wouldn't be better!!! 😳🤪

To take advantage of actual 4K content you choose to watch compressed PQ and even more compressed AQ 4K streaming on that high end OLED display and high end audio setup!!!! 🤣

Let me guess BB told you with 4K streaming you will take full advantage DV content and you only need this expensive TV to do so!!!! 😜

So out of curiosity why haven't you upgraded to object based codecs?
