Due to a recently increased upload speed, I can now stream to some of my users 4K content from my Plex server. However, I do not have infinite hard drive space, so I would, at least initially, prefer to limit my 4K collection to films and TV show shows that actually benefit from it.
Personally, and with several of my friends, we’ve come to the agreement that 4K video has about as much advantage as 720 versus 1080. It’s not that big of a leap, and often not entirely worth the upgrade (when accounting for the hard drive space consideration, the added darkness, etc). However, with some films and TV shows, it really does make a huge difference.
With that in mind, what films and TV shows would you recommend that definitely benefit from 4K viewing?
I’ve noticed dark horror movies are much better in 4k because they normally have much better dynamic range.
Longlegs has quite a few scenes with visuals you’ll miss if you’re watching with a poor quality video.
Don’t breathe was also fantastic in 4K.
Action, but 1917 has some incredible dark 4k scenes especially if you have an OLED or Mini LED TV
