Hi everyone,
The mid-week batch of 4K releases is out. So far, just a couple of 4K titles available worldwide. Most releases are region-specific, such as Jaws on Netflix (Canada) and a few others on Max (or... HBO Max again!) in the US and Australia.
News: Following a suggestion from one user...
Just a minor update:
After about a year, the homepage has been redesigned to include direct links to the All Movies and the new StreamCheck v2 pages. The Latest Additions section now displays 10 titles per set, with more minor changes/refinements on the way soon...
P.S: A couple of...
Hi all,
A couple of updates!
1) 4K Pick of the Day is live now. Each day a 4K suggestion, either from streaming subscription services or Apple TV iTunes (for rent/purchase).
* I don't earn any commissions from Apple, so these suggestions are unbiased!
2) New Feature: 4K Stream Check v.2
4K...
Two quick updates:
1) I've converted the mini-snap tool into a full search 'snap' bar on the homepage for easy and instant access.
P.S: Currently, it takes about 3-4 seconds to load because it's pulling from a temporary copy of the database. This will be instant once directly connected to the...
Updates! (beta version 0.99)
1) Brand-new 4K Films page launched!
Unified, filterable list of every evaluated 4K title across services, now with sorting, genre filters, year ranges, format support and much more soon.

New Page: Suspect HDR Titles!
Hey guys, just launched a new page that flags streaming titles with limited HDR performance (or no visible upgrade over SDR) based on technical analysis.
This includes:
Very low Peak / Average Brightness values
Dolby Vision streams that 'under-deliver' vs 4K...
New: Certified Titles on Streaming Services! (The most elite 4K movies - now officially recognized!)
Just launched a new page featuring Certified 4K Titles , movies that hit the mark across native 4K, HDR range, bitrate quality and Dolby Vision / HDR10+ / Atmos (when available).
It’s not just...
New page!
Streaming in 4K, but is there a 4K Blu-ray?
It lets us toggle between:
4K movies available only via streaming (subscription-based)
4K movies that also received a physical 4K disc
It’s filterable and will stay updated. Trying to keep the UHD standards alive. :)
Quick Update!
The '4K Premieres' Snap mini-tool is now live on the platform (homepage, screenshot below)! It helps us track the latest 4K movie drops across all major streamers. While the 'Latest Additions' section is still being updated, this new section is already running with fresh content...
A quick update. . . New Feature! (only on the All Movies page for now)
The Bitrate Health Score is now live, comparing average & peak streaming bitrates to disc/iTunes references. We get quick quality insights: Reference, Moderate Drop or Low Bitrate (visible per title where applicable).
New Tool Launch: 4K Streaming vs UHD Disc Benchmark Page
The first version is now live!
This tool compares streaming HDR Brightness metadata (MaxCLL/MaxFALL) directly against UHD Blu-ray disc values to highlight how faithfully each platform preserves HDR fidelity.
🎯 Outputs include:

New! HDR MatchScore™ system is now live... We can compare streaming HDR vs UHD disc/iTunes references (available under All Movies page only for now)
It's probably one of the most complex "4K" tools I've built so far. It includes fallback logic (to UHD disc) and handles variations between maxCLL...
Hi guys, here’s a quick look at the next steps I’m working on:

Buy / Rent / Skip verdicts
Dolby Vision & Atmos Radar charts (where available)
Placeholder “SOON” badge when radar is still...
New Page Live: Dolby Vision & Atmos Analyzer
Just launched a new dedicated section (I'd say it's 90% finished for the first version). Now we can filter 4K streaming titles by Picture and Audio Quality scores, including HDR contrast, surround effects, dialogue clarity and more...
The filters...
Multi-Service / BD Fun Fact:
On 4K UHD disc: HDR Average Brightness is 325 nits
On Paramount+: HDR Average Brightness is 324 nits
On Amazon Prime Video: HDR Average Brightness is 320 nits
Overall, they're technically very close and similar. It's good to see that the streaming version...
Hey everyone!
I’m happy to introduce a brand-new feature (currently in the experimental phase): The Dolby Vision Analyzer!
For months, I’ve been fine-tuning the Dolby Atmos Analyzer, helping us identify reference-grade audio for the 4K streaming content. Now, I’m bringing that same level of...

Hi everyone,
I'm happy to announce the Smart 4K Lists page (screenshot #1), a new way to discover top-tier 4K streaming content easier and more powerful. These are dynamically updated lists, all updated in real-time with live streaming availability.
To start, I've added 4 (four) types of...
Happy Sunday, I'm here (again)! :)
Not all 4K is real 4K. Some movies are upscaled from 2K instead of being true 4K masters. This sample list highlights some of the best native 4K movies recently released (as of February 23, 2025), available on major streaming services...
Impressive 4K HDR Movies
Many great HDR presentations exist, but out of curiosity and at random, consider this a sample, including a few lesser-known (or hidden gem) 4K titles worth discovering...
(Due to the number of titles, the full 4K HDR List, including service availability + HDR range...
Dolby Atmos - Reference
These movies, available on streaming or UHD disc, will push the speakers to their limits. I've added the full audio analysis (from a streaming perspective) on the site.
Planned next steps:
Core Database: “Global Streaming Titles”
4K Movies available in all 4 tracked regions (AU, CA, UK, US) will be listed as "Streaming Worldwide".
No need to display country flags anymore, making the project more universal.
Since these movies are widely available...
The 4K News page has been created! Soon, I'll be adding a News carousel (or something similar) to the homepage, along with an RSS feed-style feature for the platform. I'll keep you updated. By the way, the latest 4K additions have been uploaded, complete with in-depth details and insights. :)
