Shading, especially in the dark, is more nuanced on the Blu-ray. We compare a 4K stream with a 1080p Blu-ray. The faults are less apparent in bright, busy and fast-moving scenes, but darkness proves a challenge. Regardless of the picture resolution, it impacts on the picture’s overall subtlety. The usual markers, such as the definition and texture on hair, skin, clothing and buildings are all very impressive, especially for a large screen, and you can sit a lot closer than you could before with a 1080p TV.īut this is a streamed video, and it is subject to the usual streaming niggles: higher compression and low bitrates. But after a few seconds of buffering, the picture loads up to 1080p, and then 4K. It doesn’t start well – the Sony Columbia logo couldn’t be blurrier if we’d smeared Vaseline on the screen. We begin streaming from Amazon Instant Video. But how does it compare against BD and 4K BD? We watch The Amazing Spider-Man 2, one of the only titles available across all formats, on a Panasonic TX-65DX902B – at the time of writing the best 4K TV we’ve seen.
What you get is four times the pixels of a Full HD 1080p resolution – approximately 8.3m pixels.
