The Matrix DVD 480p, BLU-RAY Full HD 1080p and 4K ULTRA HD 2160p movie formats and resolution comparison of the kung fu fighting dojo scenes of Neo Vs Morpheus.
For those wondering why the 4K version looks like dog shit, well as someone who watched this movie on 4K, I can confirm it looks nothing like this. If you want a more accurate comparison, look at other videos comparing the Blu ray and the 4K. Even then it's not entirely one to one, due to the fact you're looking at an HDR video converted to an SDR video, but it's still good to see the color differences, despite being an SDR video.
Heres a link to an actual HDR capture of the movie ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GEUWsj1UJJE.html Bear in mind you have to use a decent HDR display to watch it properly & enable HDR in windows if ur on PC. If your TV or monitor don't support HDR then use ur phone most mid-highend smartphones support it. IMO the Matrix is one of the best looking movies on UHD Blu-Ray, it's the first thing I watched on my new Samsung Oled and it's what I show customers at the store I work at to demonstrate the Benefits of HDR. It doesn't shy away from dazzling highlights like so many other releases nowadays amd looks absolutely stunning as a result.
It's not even an accurate representation of the BLU-RAY. The damn video is over-exposed. The capture process has been screwed up twice; the actual comparison is pointless. Nice DVD rip though!
@@kangjhha Yeah that's because HDR monitors are garbage at HDR even the expensive ones. They're often limited to 400nits or 600 at best. The Matrix is an incredibly bright & contrasty movie on my 1000nit Oled it's a revelation with the ultra bright highlights next to perfect blacks. But on an LCD monitor you're getting the worst of both worlds, the highlights are dim and the blacks aren't even close to perfect ruining the intended contrast, you're better off with the Blu-Ray on more limited displays though you'll get the inaccurate overly green colour pallate. My advice to people is to not bother with monitors anymore for the same price you could buy a 48" LG OLED TV with far superior picture quality and 800nit peaks. they'll be just as wide as an ultra-wide but you can use the extra vertical space if you want to (if not then you get perfectly black bars which aren't distracting). they're great for gaming with 120hz at 6ms which is more than enough for anyone who isn't a literal pro plus the instanteous pixel response of OLED means that 120hz will give similar clarity to a 200hz LCD, plus anything you could lose in refresh rate you more than make up for in picture quality which is night and day. But alas most continue to pick ripoff monitors convinced by marketing that they really need 240hz 2ms even though the significant sacrifice in image quality will have a far greater impact on gameplay than 4ms of frame-times ever could. If your worried about Burn-in then Samsung, Hisense, TCL & Sony have great Miniled models that offer great picture quality, even brighter highlights though suffer a bit of blooming in dark rooms. Sorry I know I'm a bit of a TV evangelist but I'm so fed up of people in the PC gaming market dismissing picture quality in favour of gimmicks. The amount of people I've met who play single player games but still are convinced that they need a 240hz monitor. Or people who tell me HDR is garbage even though there monitor can barely do SDR. Then those same people wonder why even PS2 games look more stunning on my TV than the latest & greatest does on there little monitor. Being an AV nerd and a Gamer gets frustrating.
@@MsMarco6 I don't get it. OLEDs are generally DIMMER screens than, for instance, LEDs, so why do people talk about OLED as if it's particularly good at HDR? It should be _worse_ at HDR than most decent LCDs.
Yeah and Netflix is streaming tbf I personally still think blu-ray is the perfect one because it's not too expensive you can find most movies and on bigger screens it is noticeable but upscaled DVD ain't bad
@@greenlifekawaii2461 ok you're right. I don't care enough to debate and talk about this cause I said this 5 months ago and don't care anymore. Have a nice day and nice life, I'm wrong you're right
It's different when you watch it on a TV. Watching a blu ray on a TV vs a DVD is much higher quality, especially if the TV is big. The color difference is supposed to be that way, brighter and more defined. Not soft and indistinguishable like a DVD because it has such low resolution. DVD looks blurry on a big TV.
My question is what is the video bit rate of this DVD movie? And what is the 1080p Bluray bit rate? And why the Netflix or streaming services extremely low video bit rate look better than DVD? Since I heard that DVDs have high bit rate video?
yea because he has not uploaded video in HDR, and to watch HDR content you need HDR monitor, or external video player that converts HDR into SDR, If you will watch HDR video without enabling HDR mode you're going to see washed out colours
@@Tuxxxido If you don't have HDR RU-vid will automatically convert it back to SDR, you can even add your own custom SDR colour grade. Honestly there's no reason not to upload in HDR if you have the means. Or atleast there wouldn't be if YT didn't make uploading HDR video so unnecessarily difficult, it wouldn't shock me at all if this vid was uploaded in HDR and YT just decided not to include it, happens all the time.
Great video title. At first though I thought it was Resurrections and thought “Oh well it’s just a test”. Then I realized the title without even looking when I saw it was Matrix 1 footage.
The actual 4k disc does not look like this. It looks so dull here because the footage was exported without HDR (High Dynamic Range), which is what brings out the color, brightness, and contrast of 4k images. When the disc is played on a 4k Blu-ray player, it presents it with HDR and looks much more vibrant than what you see here. The Matrix is considered to be of the best releases on 4k. Another channel has actually posted this same scene with the HDR intact: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LDiHoFssJno.html. Big difference.
@@KimDavid0222 the 4k version looks really good, much better than DVD and BLU-RAY, but you have to see it in hdr, that's why it looks so flat in this RU-vid comparison.
@@pietroscarpa2384 for most people it's not worth getting a expensive tv a new console/new equipment paying more for discs etc... Over is it? Blu-ray I fell like is still the best middle spot
Finally someone with my exact thoughts people on here are commenting that these aren’t exact representations of how it really looks wich to some extent are correct but regardless 4k wich I’ve seen at home looks really washed out I dislike it and blu ray is bright and colorful wich I love but that’s just me and dvd has that warm color feel to it wich dvd is still thriving In stores today otherwise it would be let go like vhs was
I had a Sanyo 50 inch tv and I upgraded this past year to LG 2020 tv 4k. I wish I had Kept my old Tv instead of giving it away, my DVDs would have looked awesome with my Blu-Ray player that Upscales. They look good on 4k tv being it’s a DVD but on a 1080p it’ll probably look awesome. So am currently looking at a Samsung 1080p LED so I can compare
@brianstorm5488 nah. Now I can just buy a movie on RU-vid without a paid subscription, or watch the free movies avaliable. No worse than cable and it's free!
Because it's colors are encoded in HDR. The creator of this video didn't convert it to SDR, and uploaded it to RU-vid in non HDR. So we get washed out SDR on this video. The source video in HDR looks superior to the Bluray in terms of vivid colors and contrast. This video failed to show that comparison. What it does show is resolution, there are sharper finite details in the picture...just...ignore the color example here. Lol
Thanks for the Comparison. This is once again a great example of the Myth which is that 4K is four times better quality than Blu Ray.The DVD had an overall better look than 4 K.
In all honesty dvd are cheaper and as long as your Tv isn't crap you'll have a decent viewing experience. I don't mind blue ray but Dvd is good enough. If it ain't broken don't fix it.
the blu-ray its oversaturated and the dvd has fps problems, comparison results with a PC-driver will never be reliable for a number of reasons, the best way to compare the 3 formats is in a good blu-ray player with the 3 original discs.
i watch movies from 1930-1970 and dont mind dvd quality. if a movie is crap, good picture doesnt matter. though i wouldnt choose anything lower than dvd. blu ray only for bluckbuster spectacles - star wars, lotr, indiana jones, james bond etc.
The 3 formats look good, but I think the 4K ends up being a reinterpretation of what the director intended for this film. Artistically, it seems fine to me, but it distorts the original work of the producers.
It looks like this because of the hdr to sdr conversion, or the lack of (good) tonemapping. It will look much better on the right tv, on which this conversion is not necessary. But yeah, if you did not spend thousands for a tv, the 4k blu ray does not have that much more value in comparison to the standard blu ray release
EEWWW!!! What happened to the 4K!? I just bought that, and I heard it was an improved color grade over the Blu-ray… looks way worse here! (I only have an HD TV atm, but maybe I’ll test this… or maybe I’ll sell it before I open the shrink wrap…) Hopefully like someone has said, it looks A LOT better when playing on an HDR capable screen.
@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 I'm guessing it wasn't captured in the most "helpful for a comparison" way. Not positive, but I'm guessing the 4K is not only fine, but the best available version to buy.
@@mrhobs The 4K is essentially the same transfer as the Blu-ray one in this video. There are two different versions of the Blu-ray. This RU-vidr only showed us clips from the 2004 DVD release, 2018 remastered Blu-ray, 2018 remastered 4K. What I think what happened is that they tried to imitate the same color correction as the original 1999/2001 release DVD which was the original laserdisc scan.
you didn't convert the colorspace of the 4K Blu-Ray from Rec.2020 (HDR) to Rec.709 (SDR) 100% bright in SDR is like... 50% bright in HDR, and they both follow different curves for what number translates to what level of brightness. IRL, the 4K is brighter than the Blu-Ray, and the bright highlights that are overexposed in the Blu-Ray will be less so watching the 4K on an HDR TV.
DVD is golden oldie, always gold and how we have enjoyed these masterpieces. Everything else got directors spoiled that they could tinker with their beloved children and form them into the notorious monsters they have become now. As long as we retain the original DVD discs (even DVD boxes are way superior to simple BR/4K boxes), life is good.
I’ve replaced my favorites with Blu Ray and love the difference on a 65” screen, although for ones I didn’t / couldn’t get in Blu, I start to forget it’s SD on many scenes. Sometimes there’s a grainy appearance that even looks more like film in a way. So I’ve stopped sweating no Blu Ray availability for most of those. (I don’t even mess with 4K unless I can get one as cheaply. Maybe my upscaler is good, or my TV isn’t good enough to show it, by I notice virtually no difference, and am glad to save the dough for more upgrade. Besides I’ve heard bad news about some 4K like Carneron’s 4Krazy love of anti-grain. I think he’s a little nuts. But then we knew that when he announced he’ll be making Avatar sequels for the rest of his life…
There are two remasters of the blu ray 2008 and 2009 trust me stick with the 2008 untimate edition the cokor grading is basically similar to the dvd other tham the black levels are darker . 2009 theybwent crazy heavy on green folter in the Matrix reality
I think the 2018 transfer is the one to avoid not the 2009. Whoever made this video put the 2018 remastered Blu-ray which is basically just a downscaled 4K. Notice when the Blu-ray switches to 4K, the transition is smooth, example 0:42. The cropping is different from the 2008 version. So anything from 2008 to 2015 Should be good.
@@liamadamsedits but it's the original version. Remeber how the posters were blue? It's because a lot of the scenes had the blue tint... I watched on the cinema and it was great...
the colour looks washed out on 4k and the detail cant be better just treated with new DNR and whatever else goes into it . ????? am i wrong ???? its like putting more make up on your wife
4k bluray needs to be tone-mapped from hdr to sdr to look properly in video. 4k bluray looks much better than bluray and dvd and this video loses all that
