Indeed. It also has an uptick in detail and no revisionist grading or excessive grain reduction. I would hope that we will see more releases like this one in the future.

For people who are unsure in which way UHD releases differ from normal Blu-ray releases I suggest to have a look at caps-a-holic. It put me off a rather substantial number of UHD releases that changed the look and texture of a movie to a degree that is not consistent with respecting ists non-HDR origins. I happen to think that this is wrong way to go. It also shows that a studio like Sony has released some exceptionally well made examples of older catalog titles on UHD Blu-ray - if UHD is done like that count me in.

HOWARDS END is also egregiously cropped on all four sides of the image. I, for one, DO NOT hope there are more releases like this one in the future.
