Titanic

4 the first time ever, ''TITANIC'' is in ''4-K ULTRA'' a.k.a SUPER HIGH DEFINITION. Now we can see and hear it as never B-4 in glorious DOLBY ATMOS/ DOLBYVISION and has over 15 hours of old and new bonus features. My copy is on pre-order. We still have a whole month to go b-4 receiving this. But it''ll be worth the wait.

Short version: Buy it!! The 4K transfer was worth the wait. Not only for Dolby Vision but especially the Atmos track combined with James Horner’s soundtrack. I have watched it twice already. For reference of this review, I watched once on a Sony 77A80K in our dedicated theater room with 7.4.2 and the other on a 65A80L, with 5.2.1, both having a Panasonic ub820 4K player. Video: Colors are vibrant with more realism and textures have more depth with better contrast compared to the 1080p Blu-ray. Skin tones and lighting are the biggest differences, with the 4K transfer providing more lifelike skin tones, overall colors (especially clothing) and contrast. This is especially noticeable at the start of the dinner scene. The Grand Staircase wood has more warmth and grain ... MoreShort version: Buy it!! The 4K transfer was worth the wait.

Skin tones and lighting are the biggest differences, with the 4K transfer providing more lifelike skin tones, overall colors (especially clothing) and contrast. This is especially noticeable at the start of the dinner scene. The Grand Staircase wood has more warmth and grain texture, plus the lighting from the skylight is bright with more detail in shadow areas. The lighting results in better skin tones and fine details; evident at the dinner table where there is a variety of skin tones, makeup, dresses and tuxes. The lighting also helps to see subtle details such as the White Star Lines logo in the crystalware. The exterior shots also reveal how much detail went into the set. Audio: this is where the upgrade is 1000% worth it. From subtle sounds having more definition, such as Hockley opening and closing his pocket watch before boarding or the immense sounds of the ship breaking apart at the end. This new transfer will give your center channel a well deserved workout. Dialogue is center weighted and forward of the action, resulting in redifned clarity. However, finally, rear/side speakers get the treatment that was missing on the 1080p Blu-ray. The ‘Take her to sea’ scene is more full in sound, as well as a more full/tighter bass. The rear channels make the engine/boiler rooms come to life with more mechanical sounds, as well as making it seem as if the steam is being pumped through the rear channels, then over Atmos, and back to the front stage. The scene where Rose is being lowered in the lifeboat, the Atmos speakers pick up the pulleys and ropes while the rears and front stage share the duty of the davits flexing. The center channel handles the dialogue and rocket burst with finese. This scene also showcases Horner’s soundtrack and when combided with the aforementioned, it really pulls you into the scene as if you are standing on the deck in 1912. Finally, the iceberg collision scene and the climactic ending make this one of the best Atmos tracks as far as placement around the room and immersion.

I received it in the mail on Monday. Have not opened but, I know this is a great 4K resolution transfer.
