Many new movies as well as older, remastered movies can be watched in 4k Ultra HD. Some movies also feature High Dynamic Range (using Dolby Vision or HDR10/HDR10+) and Dolby Atmos or DTS:X audio. The combination of 4k (2160p) resolution and object-based audio provides the best in home theater these days. So what movies can be watched in 4k?
