Lots of UHDs with HDR have heavily altered color palettes with insane brightness and contrast levels.
I'm trying to calibrate my LG E7 OLED properly on the cinema settings, but this disc looks much truer using the standard setting pre-calibrations. I also noticed that some of the scenes contained muted colors.noticeably during the very blue nighttime sequences, which look more washed out and gray. I'm curious if this has happened to you with any other discs.
MAD MAX FURY ROAD 4K NIGHT SCENE TV
My Xbox doesn't do it as much anymore but used to love laughing at me as I toggled things on and off all over the Xbox and the TV until HDR properly started working instead of looking like washed out trash. HDCP 2.2 is a pain in the ass that refuses to cooperate normally, that's all I can figure out. Hey guys, I think there's something wrong with this disc! What do you guys think, what can be the cause of it? And how Mad Max looks on your sets?
MAD MAX FURY ROAD 4K NIGHT SCENE MOVIE
Here's a little comparison, on the left - how the movie looks normally, on the right - how it looks after changing the HDMI audio input setting in TV menu: I don't know what is happening, why it's happening, but something is clearly wrong with this disc. It works on the player menu, on the disc menu or on the movie, but the disc must be inside. I played with this phenomenon for a few minutes and what I discovered is that the disc must be in the player. So I changed the sound setting again, this time from Bitstream to PCM and once again Blu-ray colors returned!!! I took the disc out, played it again and the washed out colors got back. The colors changed from the earthy, realistic, washed out to the same vibrant, warm colors as on Blu-ray and with HDR it looks AMAZING. When I changed HDMI audio input setting from PCM to Bitstream. Because my UHD Blu-ray player is connected to the TV with single HDMI cable and my TV is sending sound to soundbar via bluetooth, I was experimenting with different settings while watching the movie.
After watching more scenes I started to like it and if that's what George Miller wanted for this version? OK.īut something weird happened today. Aggressive grading was gone, replaced by much more realistic, raw colors. Yeah, the HDR makes HUGE difference, but that's not how this movie looked in cinemas or on Blu-ray. When I played Fury Road for the first time I was disappointed, and from what I've read I wasn't alone. Unfortunately my Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon UHD disc wasn't working, so my first real UHD movies I got from Amazon this Friday are Mad Max: Fury Road and Batman v Superman.

Panasonic BMP-UB300 which I bought just a week ago European 55" Samsung KS7000 (the same as KS8000 in US) Hey guys, I think there's something wrong with this disc!įirs of all let me tell what my not so impressive set is:
