In my (limited) experience, that oversaturated popping you see is the whole intent. UHD adds an HDR equivalent process along with deeper blacks, so exaggerated contrast is the result. Ugly source material is also a factor. My setup came with a 4K UHD Blu-ray of a kids animated flick (latest Ice Age installment) and it was eyeball searingly awful to view. I will be tossing that disk onto eBay I think. BTW, in the fall I got a 4K UHD projector (Optoma UHD60) and Blu-ray (Samsung UBD-M9500/ZA) and that acts as our "TV" as well as the main purpose of screening movies. Watching films on a 100" screen is a joyful experience. :) The Blu-ray is on the net and streams anything we'd be interested in, like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Youtube documentaries, and a host of other stuff. I spent some time fine-tuning the image through projector and Blu-ray adjustments and I was able to tone down the saturation and crud so movies look good. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
