$35.49)I've been slowing my 4k purchases unless I know it's significantly better picture because the standard blu-ray looks about as good on some of these. I don't have Atmos at home either. It was hard enough to get my wife to allow 3 front and 2 rear and a big sub in the living room.

This is a resource I check frequently before upgrading to 4K (if I own the Blu-ray) https://ultrahd.highdef
have a great weekend, thanks again

You bring up valid points & this always gets kinda overblown.
Generally the UHD will be better than BR but the difference will vary widely.
For one all transfers are not created equal, these 4 movies are a good example.
They are ok transfers, ironically the last one is the better of the 4.
How well your player tone maps & upscales plays a significant role with this also.
Your display quality plays into this also.
TBH object based soundtracks(ie Atmos/X) is really only advantageous if done properly.
If not a good 5.1 can provide a comparable surround to all these Atmos/X alternative setups in my experience.
I also only upgrade if it's a movie I want to & a worthy transfer especially on the audio side for me.

In short whatever it was shot in it's transferred/converted to "4K".
It's not very often it's a 1:1 transfer.
They are almost always to a form of HDR metadata.
There is no standard on how, as you can see the quality can vary widely.
The tone mapping lets us see it.
That also has no standard & varies in quality.
Keep in mind this all starts with the quality of the content.
An expensive display doesn't actually fix/correct inferior content.
I have always found it odd that people debate the quality of all this and yet hardly anyone configures their display just right(calibrate)!

I think both sides can impact things. If we want to go down a rabbit hole, you can throw in the room conditions (dark room vs sun shining in), someone's vision, etc. as well as an individual's ability to sense things and how that varies from the reviewer. I just imagine many people don't buy the fanciest TVs and get them professionally configured.
Yes I agree there are many factors to consider.
That's why you should read all those reviews with a grain of salt.
Any good reviewer would have whatever display they use calibrated.
Any display benefits from calibration, it gives you the most optimal/accurate picture it can produce.
All those other factors don't really matter as much if it hasn't.
Just look at rtings ratings on displays, they each have a pre & post calibration number for a reason.
