Welcome to the forums.Hi all and greetings from Finland. Any ideas for my problem. I have UB-450 and Samsung Q60T 58" tv. I have struggled now some time with 4K picture quality from disc. From Youtube and Netflix its really good, but movies from discs not so good. Really hard to find any difference between regular blu-ray. Colours washed etc. No difference in resolution.
Sorry for my poor English. Is there anything what I can do from player settings? Is it ok to keep that 4K(50/60p) 4:4:4 setup on even not sure what my tv can handle? Also I have 24p output automatic. If I take it off, picture quality suffers a bit. Also that deep colour setup, is it ok to keep max 12bit?
Any ideas are more than welcome. I have tried to calibrate every possible vay under all tv modes. Standard, dynamic, movie and film maker. Via streaming 4K quality is fantastic. Example today I tested Jaws 4K, I cant see basically any difference between regular blu-ray. Also tried with Godzilla king of the monsters and Fury Road. Really minor difference between 4K and blu-ray if at all. And streamed 4K lot better than same from disc. :/
Jaws 4K is not a huge step up from the blu-ray but Godzilla King of the Monsters and especially Fury Road 4K you should be able to see a difference.
Your washed out colours sounds like perhaps the range is set incorrectly as PC levels 0-255 (full RGB) rather than the required 16-235 (limited RGB) for discs. This could be either on the TV or the player. For the UB450 check that deep colour is on and HDMI advanced is ycbcr. Try setting the output to 4:2:2 and 10 bit just to see if it makes any difference.
I think though you need to find the setting on the TV which controls whether it displays HDMI input at PC (and game) full RGB levels rather than limited RGB blu-ray levels. Also is your TV definitely in a HDR viewing mode when playing 4K UHDs?
