Due to a recently increased upload speed, I can now stream to some of my users 4K content from my Plex server. However, I do not have infinite hard drive space, so I would, at least initially, prefer to limit my 4K collection to films and TV show shows that actually benefit from it.

Personally, and with several of my friends, we’ve come to the agreement that 4K video has about as much advantage as 720 versus 1080. It’s not that big of a leap, and often not entirely worth the upgrade (when accounting for the hard drive space consideration, the added darkness, etc). However, with some films and TV shows, it really does make a huge difference.

With that in mind, what films and TV shows would you recommend that definitely benefit from 4K viewing?

      I found that movie to be just a bit disappointing. But it did look good.

      Edit: downvoted because I didn’t like a particular film? wtf Lemmy

        Yeah definitely outdated and flat racist at parts (especially when you learn how little of it actually happened), but it’s an incredible looking film especially when you realize the time it was made.
