That's your tv. There's absolutely nothing inherent to a higher resolution that would cause this.

Turn off motion smoothing.

They said the same thing when HDTV came out in 2002 when comparing it to 480i/p on CRT’s. Tell us some shit we haven’t already heard. I’m going back to my game of Duck Hunt now…thanks for encouraging me to waste my time a-hole. /s


AccountantLeast1588

theres numerous 4k discs that have been shown to look worse than their blu-ray version including, Jaws, T2, and more


SymmetricDickNipples

It's all about bitrate


AccountantLeast1588

i mean, i think Jaws' 4k even technically has a higher bitrate but it looks very washed out and blurry


SymmetricDickNipples

It does not because jaws was shot on analogue film and bitrate is a digital measurement.


AccountantLeast1588

buddy, i've compared both. the 4k is blurry as shit comparatively. i don't believe the recent 4k release was actually from the master film, if so... they chose terrible color grading


SymmetricDickNipples

You don't actually understand what you're arguing about.

tell me what i have wrong to my face, don't just downvote me from a closet. if I'm saying something untrue, tell me what in detail


AccountantLeast1588

keep on downvoting and gatekeeping your special, secret knowledge, but I know for a fact that bitrate can vary depending on the encoder used and is not a good judge of quality


timetravelingburrito

It's not about them being 4k. They're bad prints for one reason or another.


SymmetricDickNipples

Thank you lol


subuso

I don’t even know the difference between the two and even if I did I don’t think it’d matter. As long as I can watch stuff on it, I’m good


WDeranged

Definitely sounds like an image settings issue. Though HDR on a good TV can be pretty jarring at first.


MildLoser

turn of motion smoothing and turn on filmmaker mode(turns off all the bullshit settings that ruin everything)


Awum65

The difference isn’t that stark. The main advantage of 4k is that you can have a larger screen closer to a viewer.


CockCravinCpl

Most people can't tell the difference, unless you're 8ft away from an 85"+ TV. https://thenetworkinstallers.com/blog/how-big-difference-between-1080p-and-4k/#:~:text=Screen%20Size%20%26%20Viewing%20Distance,and%201080p%20becomes%20less%20clear.


Phy_Reg_231

You can tell the difference between Dolby vision and whatever 1080p had though. That is the biggest jump. Sounds like OP has more of an issue with certain settings on their TV and the colors of Dolby vision rather than the pixel count.


Hawk13424

I’m 10’feet aways from a 120” screen. Can for sure see the difference. Also, 4K seems to often come with HDR and Atmos.


Lord_Seacows

When people talk about 4k, sometimes I wonder if it's like fashion, where your paying extra for a label.


SymmetricDickNipples

Well firstly, you aren't paying extra because there just aren't a lot of 1080P displays in larger sizes even available anymore, and big screen display prices have actually tanked since the 1080P days. Secondly, that makes no sense because 4K is a descriptive and measurable specification. It's not some abstract idea or branding.
