Yeah frankly even Netflix isn't great for 4K content. Most of the big blockbuster and good movies not available in 4K. Yet you get 4K for crappy standup comedies or freaking Adam Sandler movies again and again.
Too bad, pretty annoyed with Google Play movies as well. My first 4K TV, a Samsung 8000 Series from either 2017 or 2016, Google Play won't stream 4K on it at all even when I paid for 4K movie... total BS.
Was supposed to but then the greedy companies got into it and now it turned into the modern day TV package. However instead of telecom companies, we are paying the big dogs directly. I wonder how telecom companies will try to have a slice of the pie back. They will not let their revenue stream disappear.unshavenyak wrote: ↑ Streaming was supposed to set us free. Now you need like 4+ services to cover everything and it's lower bitrate and quality than a good 1080p blu-ray master in most cases. Sigh.
Does the TV's Google Movies app support 4k HDR? I have an LG from 2017 and it plays any 4k HDR movie I have in my Google library in 4k HDR.
i didn't know it was shot that way until I watched the movie, I was really impressed the way it was filmed.darkstar107 wrote: ↑ I need to rewatch this movie. I was told ahead of time about it being filmed like it's one really long shot so I spent the entire time looking for transitions and didn't really pay attention to the movie.

You need a 4k UHD Blu Ray player (regular Blu ray won't play it), Xbox one S or X, Xbox Series X or PS5 (which seems to handle UHD blu ray noticeably worse than the Xbox).
All three of the consoles are actually not so great. They do not support Dolby Vision or HDR+ when playing blu-ray discs and their tone mapping is off. If you are serious about experiencing the best that 4k HDR movies has to offer, just get a dedicated UHD blu-ray player.
Bought directly from Google Play/Movie. Issue was simply Google decided to not support 4K on that 2016/17 TV model, at least at that time (around 2018). It's just sad, not like a no-name brand. Samsung, mid-range, 4K HDR TV... but couldn't stream 4K! Still watched the movie, but later I complained to Google and got refund. Have not bought any movie via Google since.audit13 wrote: ↑ Does the TV's Google Movies app support 4k HDR? I have an LG from 2017 and it plays any 4k HDR movie I have in my Google library in 4k HDR.
Are these movies you bought directly from Google or from a code you redeemed? Google code redemptions will always give HD except for one movie I know of which is Gretel & Hansel which gave 4k when I redeemed the code.
I buy my Sony and Universal 4k discs from the USA so I can watch it digitally in 4k.
That's a shame. Hopefully, the new Google Chromecast will support 4k HDR playback from the Google Movies app.boyohboy wrote: ↑ Bought directly from Google Play/Movie.

The only quality missing was the actual movie quality.
It's on Crave. Free trial signup gives you 7 days. If it's that's great sign up and watch 1917 for 7 days, once a day. Maybe twice if you want. Free is better than $17.99. Buy dinner for $17.99 then you have dinner and a movie for $17.99kyleashton wrote: ↑ Great price for a great movie...
Wunderbar. Thanks for confirming.
Even after that spat with Star Trek Discovery, there are Paramount movies added every now and then.
