I spelled 'network' wrong.
I just got Blade Runner 2049 bluray and it included a 4k version, but my TV doesn't do 4k.

If I get a 4k TV, 4K BD player and high speed HDMI cables, will the plot improve? Not sure.

like, why don't people just buy a 4k projector at that point? even if you use it as a full time tv replacement you'll come out ahead on bulbs vs the up front cost of buying some colossal nerd tv

most 4k projectors under 10 grand can't do actual 4k and projectors are a pain in the rear end, noisy and require maintenance so they've been relegated to grognard use

no 4k projectors are actually 4k. they literally dont make an image processor for them yet

we had a $30k laser projector in the office a while back and even it did simulated 4k

plasma displays can do 600hz but they don't really use it like youd think

running at 600hz means you can display 60fps or 24fps without any 2:3 pulldown

when it's finally properly implemented in the year 2050 or so we can finally breathe easy [after replacing all our equipment]

seriously though, the final test specs are like a year behind schedule at this point

4k hdr looks loving weeeirrddd for like 5 minutes until you get used to it and then it just looks super good

my idiot sarnsung tv has to manually be set to allow hdr input though so i watched all of blade runner 2049 in sdr then went "hmm why does the option menu say "standard" in tiny letters?", so now ive got to watch it again which is ok because its a good film

also my tv updated and now shwos ads i nthe menu bar which loving blows and my br player also interrupts films to demand an update so that can go gently caress itself too.

they're legit 4k but I don't think they'll sell you these for your living room

quote:

The system consists of dual Christie 4K 6P (primary) modular laser projectors featuring a custom design to allow for unique light path. The system is capable of delivering up to 14 foot-lambert on unity-gain matte-white screens for 3D (and up to 31 foot-lambert for 2D), a substantial improvement on current generation 3D systems which deliver in the range of 3 to 4 foot-lambert for 3D. The result is improved brightness, color and contrast compared to traditional xenon projectors.
