Is 4k worth the upgrade???

It really depends on the movie. A lot of Blu-rays could use it if they had DNR, edge enhancement and incorrect color grading. But for releases from companies like Criterion and Arrow, they don’t need it as much. Also, newer movies tend to not look as good as older ones due to them being shot and finished digitally, usually at not true 4K resolution.

I agree. One with I find distracting is the ‘soap opera effect’. For instance the film Gemini Man. Sure it looks fantastic but it tends to lose the affect given from a film pundit’s point of view.

I was still skeptical when I made the jump but man it’s totally worth it. HDR really takes things to another level.

Gemini Man was shot digitally. There never was any film grain to begin with. It always looked fake. It looks flat because it was shot on the Arri Alexa. Its a not a movie filmed on movie film and released in 4K, its not a good comparison.
It looks clean because that is the style the director was going for. Almost dreamlike. With Will Smith versus his cgi double, De-aged. For me the story worked, i really liked the movie, but zero verisimilitude because of the way it was shot. Also being shot at high frame rate might have killed it like the Hobbit making it look like video.

4K is great but 4K with HDR is mind blowing. My wife and daughter who couldn’t give a shit about this sort of thing… I mean they would watch a show on a phone or laptop for god’s sake🤢
But when I showed them 4K HDR on a good OLED big screen they were very impressed!

It really depends on taste, I’m fine with either, just depends on my mood.
I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.
Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

It depends how big the screen you have is.
Once you start to hit 65" to 96" 4k will help a lot to maintain detail at larger screen sizes.
HD would still be acceptable but really the larger you go you really neeed to maintain resolution comparable to size of the screen surface.
Generally people don’t have space for such large screens in their homes whilst 4k can still be enjoyable on lower size screens essentially 4k is negligable or won’t provide anything worthwhile probably under 40" screen size.
Based on being a reasonable / normal viewing distance from the screen display.
