4K movies ?

[Stoggy26]

i know i havent seen 4k movies around much but could you take a 1080p bluray and render it to 4k

Yes, but it wouldn't make the movie look any better as the source is just 1080P.

All recent movies have been film in 4k-6k We just don't have the bluray drives or anything else for anything but the theatres.

You will most likely not notice any improvement in the quality, unless you can get your hands on the 4k or even higher res versions of the movies from the cinemas. You can upscale the 1080p movie to fit your screen without rendering the movie to 4k.

And if you are getting a 4k screen just for movies then your are in for a bad time. There are only a few source you can get 4k video from, and a large portion is compressed anyway. (youtube)

You can use some post-processing to enhance the look for your higher res panel. Splash Pro EX is probably the simplest way to do this.

Yes but it's still only going to be 1080p.

 

Other than the lack of sources of movie content (online or physical), there also aren't any companies that broadcast in 4k (at least, that I know of).

The source is 1080p so it won't have any more detail, but the scaled and post-processed video can still be nicer-looking. 

 

Netflix and Video Unlimited have 4K consumer content.

Upscaling video results in poorer quality, yes the post-processed video can look okay, but it will not look as good as 1080p on a 1080p screen.

 

From what I know, Netflix only offers 4k streaming on a select few TVs and only on a small amount of content.

1080p (1920x1080) is an integer scale to 4K (3840x2160) so it should not have the anomalies of scaling to a resolution that's not a multiple of the source resolution.

 

Netflix streams to TVs and STBs that support it and its HEVC streams. Sony also has their Video Unlimited service with 200+ 4K titles (mostly shot in film though).
