(Before you ask: Yes, I had turned off my TV’s motion-smoothing feature.) The uncanny valley spoiled any scene in which a human actor handed off stunt work to a digital body double - which is to say pretty much all the action sequences in every recent superhero movie. The green-screen jungle backdrops in this year’s The Lost City looked cheap enough to tip over and flatten Sandra Bullock. Kong, some live-action scenes and digitally rendered ones were so texturally dissimilar it was like they’d come from different movies. In parts of Thor: Ragnarok, the Hulk resembled a plastic action figure. That is when I began to notice - and pretty soon absolutely could not stop noticing - similar issues in other recent movies that had seemed perfectly fine on my old screen.
WHICH THOR 3 4K PROJECTOR TV
I figured the bear was a fluke and that maybe my TV would fare better with newer VFX. It became distracting to the point that I could hardly enjoy Leonardo DiCaprio’s mauling. The CGI wasn’t bad, just soft, especially against the sharpness of the live-action Canadian wilderness. In 4K, it looked a lot more like the digital figment it was, blurry around the edges and lighter on its feet than a real 700-pound mammal would be. On my old TV, the grizzly had been photorealistic. I put on 2015’s The Revenant next, and it looked pristine - until the bear showed up. I could see the texture of the film grain, which gave images a depth and character they had lacked in normal HD. The Blues Brothers might as well have been painted by Botticelli. The darkened earth tones of Back to the Future Part III made it feel less like a cartoon and more like a real western. On a 4K Blu-ray disc, 2001: A Space Odyssey revealed details I’d never spotted in any previous home viewing, down to the razor burn on Keir Dullea’s neck.
WHICH THOR 3 4K PROJECTOR PLUS
With four times as many pixels as my old TV, plus a high-dynamic color range, I was hoping for a consciousness-expanding experience - something that felt like filling a new eyeglasses prescription while doing peyote. When I plugged in my new 4K ultrahigh-definition television for the first time, I expected more than an upgraded picture.
