Sony’s “Mastered in 4k” releases today to Blu-ray include Angels & Demons, Battle Los Angeles, Ghostbusters, Glory, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Karate Kid, The Other Guys, Spider-Man, Taxi Driver, and Total Recall. Sony claims the 4k films are created from “the highest quality 4K source materials” and take advantage of expanded color when using xvYCC-compatible TVs and Blu-ray players. Each of the 4k editions also provide redeemable codes for UltraViolet digital copies.
4k Ultra HD offers four-times the resolution of the current HD standard of 1080×1920 (2.1 megapixels), measuring at 3840×2160 (8.3 megapixels). The format greatly improves video quality, removing any visible pixels (known as jaggies), and closing the gaps between pixels (referred to as the screen door effect).
Sony sells an 84″ 4K Ultra HD TV that starts at $24,999. The company is also taking pre-orders on the 55″ and 65″ XBR 4K Ultra HD TVs, priced at $4,999 and $6,999, respectively.
