The Shining UHD

I'm gonna upgrade my home theater to 4K just for this movie, no kidding. The Barry Lyndon remastered bluray was good enough to make me stick to 1080p, but not this one.

I think the new UHD disc looks incredible, particularly on a TV with Dolby Vision. IMO the brightness and contrast levels are much more representative of a real film print than previous transfers. Far too many home video transfers are overly brightened beyond what they looked like in the cinema. I'm not at all a Shining color expert, but it looks very good and very film like to me and far superior to previous home video versions. I do wish the original mono track was included.

If you do, be sure to pick up 2001 because that is an incredible disc as well, particularly in Dolby Vision.

Now it's the second on my list (though I won't be able to watch it in Dolby Vision... my Sony VW500ES projector doesn't even do HDR)  Wink

I do have 2001.  But I haven't gotten around to watching it yet.  I know, shameful.  I have a few hundred UHDs and I have a stack of unopened ones.  Don't have a lot of time to watch them.  Not like I used to.
I'm not gonna hurt ya

BTW, in my previous post I incorrectly assumed Barry Lyndon had an UHD release... I've just found out that the regular Criterion BD is the only way to watch the remaster. I wonder what are they waitin' for? That movie screams for a 4K release.

Hell, a lot of Kubrick movies scream for 4K. I'm waiting for A Clockwork Orange to be re-released lol

Yeah, I stand corrected, ALL Kubrick movies scream for 4K. Except for Fear and Desire. That movie screams "please, I wasn't really meant to be seen again, Stanley would be so mad if he knew!".

Warner will make a 4K Kubrick box. That's why I'm able to hold off and since I don't have a 4K display yet it makes it easier...

Kubrick boxset, Hitchcock proper restorations, LoA and the Bond films are the "have to get a 4K panel" titles. Though now that I finally have a good plasma I can't find a 4K panel that is affordable or able to fully best either my plasma or HDCRT.

What do you consider affordable? The higher end LG OLEDs can drop to $1200 range for previous years models and sales.
