God, it blows my mind that this thread got started 20 years ago tomorrow, and two days prior to 9/11, no less. When will HBO finally dish out a 4K for this series? It's long overdue.
I just recently finish the tour of duty with the BoB DVD along with SPR and BRO in the last weekend... DVD still rocks, when you watch it with 720p Forced Upscale Resolution!This Thursday is the 20th anniversary of the premiere of Band Of Brothers. So close to the 20th anniversary of course of 9/11. Seems like yesterday to me. Hope this gets released on 4K soon. For now I’m going to rewatch it. Amazing series.
This will be a test to HBO on their willingness to spend on the 4k mastering stage costs... depending on the potential demand of potential buyers to TV Series... which is coming to 20yrs of age, having it's limit on original source stock.God, it blows my mind that this thread got started 20 years ago tomorrow, and two days prior to 9/11, no less.

yup! a good scene to test on OLED as well as FALD screens with the tracers and anti air guns shooting on the planes and paratroopers.... - When they parachuted into Europe at night, all while under enemy fire. Very gripping...
Since "From the Earth to the Moon" (1998) is in 4K/Dolby Vision on Max. Why not "Band of Brothers" (2001)? Or "The Pacific (2010)?Still waiting for the 4K release of this amazing series. C’mon HBO!

Are you saying the From the Earth to the Moon is a hack job?I wonder how much work it'd take though to remaster BoB in 4K/HDR and to actually do it well, not just some kinda hackjob $$$-grab or the like... that seemed to have happened w/ From the Earth to the Moon (at least for the BD before... as I actually haven't gotten around to checking out the 4K on HBO Max)...
Personally, I'm still plenty satisfied w/ just the BDs for BoB... though would be nice to have higher bitrates of the 4K (and maybe judicious touch of HDR) at least for streaming, if not also physical media. Probably don't really need 4K (up)rez though... and I suppose they won't be tempted to reformat this like they did for From the Earth to the Moon, heh...

Well, I disagree with you then.I meant the previous remastering for HD, not the original program itself.
