SOME LIKE IT HOT is now in 4K and Dolby Vision

 

[JPCinema]

SOME LIKE IT HOT looks fantastic!!! So much better than the 4K disc that was released. It must be the Dolby Vision.

Brilliant. Thank you. Kino has only had the 4K discs out for a little over a year for Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More, The Apartment, and Some Like it Hot. I was afraid digital distribution would be held back for at least 3 years. If ITunes doesn’t follow suit I may end up making Vudu purchases for those.

Just remember that right now, only Some Like it Hot has any HDR applied to those Vudu 4K digitals.

Misery is the other Vudu title that has Dolby Vision applied. The other titles listed in this thread other than Some Like It Hot are 4K only. By the way, that $14.99 price tag to upgrade my HD digital for most of them is too expensive for me.

Heck, I don’t even pay 14.99 for most Blu-ray releases, let alone digitals. Sooner or later they’ll be on sale.

I'm happy to pay $14.99 for the first 4. SOME LIKE IT HOT is a revelation!

... and it will still be a revelation when I pick it up eventually at a $4.99 sale price.

I find it hard to believe that the digital could look better than Kino's 4K/UHD which plays in 4K/Dolby Vision on my display.

I actually threw away my 4K disc....the grain for me was awful. I was skeptical purchasing the streaming version but it looked so much better. The VUDU 4K, it almost looks 3D.

You don't have the grain on the digital because you don't have the detail due to the limitations of digital versus disc.

Thank goodness!!!!

We all see things differently. That is to be celebrated. People can both have valued, different views and perspectives and respect each others views.

Why not give it away? Im
Sure someone here would have taken it off your hands. What a waste.

I watched the Some Like It Hot disc last year and loved it! And it has Dolby Vision.

I haven't bought the digital on iTunes (so far), but this makes me wonder if some who have might wanna make sure to download a copy before Apple upgrades it to 4K before long...

I wonder about that. I’ve found that my 4K streams typically reproduce natural grain quite well. Is it possible that this title has been specifically de-grained for digital release? If so despite Ken Koc liking it, there would be a lot more people railing against it for “DNR”. Either way, I look forward to getting it some day when the price is right.

Am I missing something? I was under the impression that the Kino discs for The Apartment, Fistful of Dollars, and A Few Dollars More didn’t have HDR either.

There are so many variables that affect streaming quality to any given endpoint; bandwidth being the most important. If your ISP's pipe isn't big enough, or if your ISP's network is congested due to bandwidth limitations, or if your internal home network isn't up to snuff, you WILL have a lesser experience. This is one of the big disadvantages of streaming content. You may be seeing crap, while your neighbor is shouting from the rooftop about how great it is, and neither opinion is wrong.
