Nope, standard 1080p, only with a slightly higher bit rate. As mentioned previously this is Superbit all over again.TonyD said:These are made for 4k players and/or tv's aren't they? So the old bluray wouldn't be the same thing.
Exactly. It's just Sony's way of (a) Pretending that they're releasing "4K content" to support their new 4K hardware; and (b) cashing in on 4K hype by re-releasing the same material on blu-ray to provide a marginal, most likely imperceptible, improvement in image quality.Eastmancolor said:Nope, standard 1080p, only with a slightly higher bit rate.

There isn't enough room on current Blu-ray discs to hold an entire feature in 4k.

I don't even think they have a higher bitrate, my opinion is they are identical to the last releases, higher bitrate would not do a thing either, blu ray is different to DVD, a quality master and a reasonable bitrate is all you need, look at the first release of Gladiator, high bitrate, poor release, the master is what counts and increasing bitrate adds nothing but is good for advertising blurbs, not that i think these have a higher bitrate.

I think the greater improvement in the first place is to not use a Sony to view your content...Persianimmortal said:Exactly.

You'd probably notice more of an improvement in image quality just by switching from regular to Monster brand HDMI cables. Just kidding
Their HW50 projector looks pretty good.schan1269 said:I think the greater improvement in the first place is to not use a Sony to view your content...
I liked it and thought it was really funny.Peter Neski said:gee whiz you need a 4k master for a piece of crap like The Other Guys ?
I have no problem with my Sony bluray player.schan1269 said:I think the greater improvement in the first place is to not use a Sony to view your content...
