What are your opinions on DVNR? — Page 2

I don’t mind DNR. Film grain is annoying when you watch an old film on an HD or 4K TV, and it obscures a lot of detail, such as the skin on some characters and some objects in the background. Plus, I don’t want to have to be reminded that I’m watching something that isn’t really happening, I want to watch something that feels as if you’re seeing a real event with your own eyes.

Sure, DNR has its flaws, like how it makes the image quality a little muddy and blurry, but it’s better than having to see these little specks while watching an old movie on an HD or 4K TV all the time.

I love film grain. That’s the main reason I don’t like digital.

DVNR is just a tool. When used right , it’s great. When not, it’s terrible.
Also, just like any tool, it isn’t always needed for the job at hand.
But, sometimes grain is distractingly noisy.
Example: I prefer the 4K77-DVRNed edition of Star Wars to the non. There’s still plenty of natural grain, but it’s not like looking through a sandstorm.
Meanwhile, I’d rather watch Predator on VHS than the DVNRed-to-hell BD disc.
