I'm still trying to track down one of those empty cases they're mailing out but so far no luck, lol.
I agree on Venom. It was cool enough and that was renting it at 1080p. I bet it will look awesome in 4K.
Thanks for the updates!

Not Marvel. But I ordered House With a Clock in its Walls 4K and ET 4K 35th anniversary for $15 each, and Lego 2 blu ray for $10 for my kids at BB.

Already blowing out the 4Ks. The world's gone mad.
I find myself buying a format I don't even have yet.

Is 8K equivalent to film? Or is that more like 16K?

I think I'm good until glasses free 3D at home. I don't see any need to move past 4K until then.

I'm with you, but I'll probably make future purchases of 8K, 4K combo packs, assuming the prices aren't ridiculous.

4K - 6K = 35mm film
12K = Imax 65-70mm film
I just wish they had gone straight to 8K because that’s the real impressive upgrade from 1080.
While I obviously buy all new releases in 4K as far as upgrading my collection goes I only upgraded my MCU collection otherwise i’m waiting for 8K.
But MCU couldn’t wait.

Just got back from Target. No Avengers but I did pick up 4K Aquaman for 19.99. Passed on $13 Venom.

I have Avengers 4k on alert, in case it gets restocked before sale ends. That price is just too good to pass up

I agree. I did see that they had BR2049 4K for 14.99 for anyone crazy enough to not already own it yet.
It won't help though either, it has no advantage. The vast majority of films since the 90's were mastered at 2K or less, meaning they can't get any better unless they go back to the original film and redo a significant amount of work for editing and coloring and VFX. Ones that were shot on digital cameras can't do that at all. Films that were shot and edited on physical film could get new remasters at 8K, but many old films don't look that good so it would just make larger blurry images. The only thing that 8K would work for is when new content is made at 8K which isn't happening any time soon. Especially for VFX they rarely ever do higher than 2K for the VFX even if the film is mastered at 4K.
If you get an 8K TV right now, there won't be much to watch at 8K for many years to come.
Which is why I wait... for 1G.

4K upscaled on 8K looks amazing.
If you get close enough to the screen you'll see a difference in pixel density but that's the only advantage
That's what the sales guy said at Best Buy. I guess that will be their big sales point. "Not much 8K out there, but the upscaling is insane."
