      I could go for some exposure of TVs that use dithering to mask shortcomings in their panel's color capabilities. Terrible, horrible issue that even top reviewers almost never mention, let alone ding a TV for using. _Dithering lowers the screen's effective resolution. You aren't getting 4K when it's dithering._ It baffles me why makers are allowed to get away with this.

FlatpanelsHD are the only ones I've seen underscore the issue. Nobody actually dings scores for it.

      Idk why people are praising Vinny so much. Realorfakehdr have been reviewing disks for a while. The UHD community has known for a long time that HDR is slapped on any 4k disk because it only, just about about reaches the required nit count for a few seconds of the whole movie for HDR.
      The average owner of a 4k TV spends about $500 which is nowhere near enough to pay for a quality panel with true HDR nits (it’s around 400 which is not even high but that is what manufacturers consider good enough) and this bracket also has 8bit+ FRC which is not true 10bit colour.

    Hey Vincent, could we see the HDR10+ 4K copy of 2001: A Space Oddessy? This particular transfer was done by Nolan and it would be interesting to see how much a director of his calibre has applied HDR to a film that is not his own. Additionally, I've heard it's one of the best UHD discs ever released.
    Also, on the subject of "fake HDR", there seems to be another elephant in the room that needs addressing. That being, fake 4K, or in other words, 1080p transfers upscaled into 4K, then sold and advertised as UHD. I am aware that on a technical basis, it is 4K in terms of the pixels onscreen, however, an upscale does not provide the same meaningful amount of detail as an actual native transfer.
    Fake HDR, Fake 4K... The more I look into the UHD format, the more of a sham it all seems. I would not be surprised if we came across a film that was both an upscale and just SDR in a HDR container. All you're essentially paying for is marginally better compression, which is not always indicative of the films visual prowess.
    Could an argument be made that you could achieve the same or similar visual results of these fake UHD HDR discs by passing a 1080p film through an advanced 4K upscaler, like an Nvidia shield?

    Great video as always! There's a point in the beginning I didn't quite grasp though, and I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on it. I know conventional wisdom has been dark-room displays are calibrated to 100 nits (some calibrate to 120; I'm a touch brighter because I sometimes watch in a brighter room). I think I understand that calibrating SDR to 200 nits reflects the HDR picture better. But I'm wondering, then, if that's a suggestion that future calibration guidelines for display set SDR to 200 nits instead? Or is 100 still the *watching* standard for SDR calibration? Thanks for any clarification.

  • @TomHansonKNVPStudios

    In the post production business we use a device colloquially known as a "legalizer" that is generally in the signal path between a master videotape or Mezzanine video file and a destination format such as another videotape during duplication. The "legalizer" is setup with parameters in regards to luminance, chromanance, pedestal, etc so that if a source exceeds the preset parameters it will "clip" the signal so that the new signal is within the new values. I wonder if what we are observing here is a "legalized" copy instead of the fully realized master? Just a thought.

    Hello Vincent, thanks for these HDR-Testvideos. I think, they really are very interesting.
    I'd like to know which version of The Last Jedi 4K-BD was tested here. The first edition had Dolby Vision HDR while the current one, that's also included in the Skywalker Saga Collection, only has HDR10. Since they may have different levels of peak brightness, I'd like to know which one was tested here.
    By the way, the colorist for this movie might argue, that, although the sun certainly isn't very bright on any planet, they are in fact supposed to be two or more different suns that don't necessarily have the same Absolut Magnitude (= brightness) as our sun. So in principle, it really could have been creative intent in this case.

    Vincent, do you know, if the Dolby Cinema presentation of the same movies is also conservative or has some 1200nits peaks?

    • @realdarthplagueis
      @realdarthplagueis Před 3 lety +1

      Dolby Cinema is maxing out at just above 100 nits (as a system. You cant make 1000 or 10 000 nits big screens in a theater with a projector) . Therefore the critisism on this youtube channel is something I would take with a grain of salt. Also: Dolby Cinema is ALSO about the 0 nits blacks, because they have a laser light source that is switched completely off within a few ms. HDR is not only abut max nits, it's also about contrast which is a function of max nits and min nits that can be presented on the screen inside the same frame).

    • @waltervolpatto6096

    Cheers Vincent. I watched The Force Awakens just before watching The Last Jedi. TFA has brilliant HDR. The light sabers look properly lethal on my 85-inch QN94C Samsung. I'm using a Panasonic UB820 by the way. The light sabers look so bright that they could cut through the TV. LOL. But, TLJ looks completely weak in comparison. For me, it spoils my enjoyment of the movie - because I now know how good it CAN look. Creative intent or not - I think lethal weapons - should look exactly that - lethal. Like the planet killer - when that fires, my whole living room lights up! LOL. Anyway, I'm glad I saw your video - because for a time, I was checking the 4K Blu-Ray box and my equipment - thinking that somehow, my equipment wasn't processing HDR properly. So, thanks again Vincent! Keep up the good work.

    Again, the UHD is displaying the movie as close as possible to the way the filmmakers wanted it. You can’t get a “better” transfer beyond that. I’m actually glad Disney didn’t pump up the brightness just to meet somebody’s arbitrary nits standard, like the Pacific Rim UHD. That release was fake HDR if anything is.

The closest to that actual comparison would be something like if Disney decided to tint the whole movie puke green for the UHD and then I was trying to defend that. All they did was faithfully transfer a finished 4K movie over the way it was created and mastered by the filmmakers, who didn't want to use a lot of nits in their film. I don't see how it's any different than a filmmaker deciding to make a black and white film, or shoot digitally as clean as possible, or shoot with 16mm film, etc.

    Even though the UHD BD discs of BR2049, The Last Jedi and 1917 might not qualify as HDR, they are still 10-bit color (or WCG), or am i wrong? Those discs are based on 4K DI's and shows very nice detail compared to the standard Blu-Rays, and to me also the colors looks much better.

      Tarantino does show an interest in larger film formats (65/70 mm) for both shooting and release, so it seems counter intuitve that would not want for his movies to go to UHD, even if he just used the advantages of 4K resolution, WCG, and more efficient codecs and higher bit-rates to make the home release closer to the 70mm release he seems to really champion.

    This video is pretty level headed, good info and foundation for discussion. I see why you did it this way this time, but don't be too cowed by the blowback. All they're doing is trying to force their interpretation of it. Also, this UHD has always kind of sucked. The resolution was good and the limited HDR makes it seem more natural... but it's always been a bit dim and epitomizes grey blacks. Sometimes I wonder if specifically Disney's aversion to bright HDR is potentially rooted in seizure liabilities.

    What gets ignored is, that the Star Universally Nurturing (or SUN as you like to call it) in the historically accurate on screen representations vary widely in their intensity from the Deep Core to the Inner Rim to Wild Space! The Tatooine SUN is much different than the Kashyyyk Sun much less the dimly glowing orb that Exegol travels around in a stretched out circular path.
    The brightest thing in ANY Star Wars film is the audience, they choose their own brightest aspect of the film being shown on the day. Basically a pit of "Nit" Picky "Nit" Witted dipsticks following wonderfully Knit Scripts and
    Oh yes....I have sun puns son! and sky high rhymes keeping time with sublime chimes of space-time crime from a street corner pantomime in Anaheim to the haughty minds at lunch time outside the Guggenheim.
