The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 4K UHD

Just put the 4K disc in my US Digibook very very nice.
 

Cheers. That review indicates it is the old disc but that is the review for the US release. One would normally expect UK and US to be the same but there is some suggestion on the BR.com forum that the UK discs is based on the new transfer.
 
Not sure whether to do this or flog my Digibook...
After the artwork was revealed on the recent steelbook it made my mind up.

I agree but just trying to minimise outlay… The Digibook would raise a few quid. The 4K case not so much.
 
Just watched my copy - at last, the movie looks as beautiful as the story it tells.

And no, it's just some dust in my eye, really.
 
I always thought the ending looked pretty bad on the Blu-ray. Hoping it looks better on the UHD when I watch it next week.
 
I wish I'd have watched this on projector now. For me, the image is fantastic, detail is incredible and I have 500 odd 4K discs. This is right up there.

I noticed the image is slightly cropped compared to the Blu-ray for some reason.
 
It should be in its original aspect ratio on the UHD (1.85), whereas the old blu ray was 1.78.
 
Just finished watching. What a lovely transfer. Understated, but beautiful.

Unfortunately I got some dust in my eye towards the end so wasn’t able to see how blue the Pacific is in WCG.

You are meant to keep your AV equipment dust free pal.
 
Just watched this UHD for the second time and it looks even better!
