So the color grading is definitely superior in the HDR version, but the film grain on the SDR version gives the film a sharper, more detailed look. A good comparison shot is 1:35. Look at Doctor Saddler's shirt. While the same details are technically present, the HDR version looks smeared and uninteresting, whereas there's a sharp popping of the details in the SDR version, everything feels more alive. I want the "filmic" quality of the SDR version with the color grading of the HDR.
Both versions crap, the 1080p Blu-ray used an old HD transfer with wrong color grading and digital sharpened. The Ultra HD Blu-ray use the 4K scan from 2013, but with DNR and the wrong color grading too. Jurassic Park need a new 4K master without DNR and with the original color grading from the 35 mm prints.
So like normal watch both versions of this comparison video, and honestly the blu rays are supior to the 4k to me, yes the 4k as better resolution, but color and lighten are bettor on blurs6, which is more important to me
If you have an HDR tv, the movie doesn't actually appear darker like it looks here on this video, the movie is just as bright, its just that moving the image onto youtube (which doesn't do HDR) and then onto your phone/computer/tablet screen which might not be HDR, makes it look darker than it really would be. I have this 4k version of the movie and an HDR blu ray player and HDR TV and I can see way more detail in the film simply because the HDR helps differentiate the colors better.

Exactly. I got an OLED a month ago - an LG C4. My first OLED ever. Now not only do I no longer have a problem with "dark shows" but I also have a whole new appreciation for horror movies (that is not a joke - it is true).
@@jonathanparle8429 So SDR still looks plenty bright on your OLED? I'm worried that HDR will look great, and SDR will look a bit drab and dark... whereas it (SDR) would like fine, or even great on something like a nice QLED panel. Honestly, I don't need the perfect black that OLED offers, and with good local dimming, the competing tech is very close, but with the advantage of being way brighter than OLED. Still, I almost HAVE to go with OLED because the pixel response time/latency is very good, and I want my games to play as good as possible... Just got a generic 48" Proscan 1080p LED (LCD) TV right now. Probably going with a 65" LG G3, or G4 if I can afford it... 75" would be great, but... would look a little too extra in my small living room... plus smaller = cheaper, easier to handle... possibly sharper. Not sure about brighter. Maybe.
There’s a lot of misconceptions with HDR. It’s only truly appreciated and realized with the right accurate-as-possible (and calibrated professionally either by someone or DIY) display, not always necessarily OLED only. Could be LCD as well. But that’s the issue: most people do not have the foresight knowledge to be aware of calibration in general, let alone that not all displays are the same, or that you can’t experience HdR unless you have an HDR display.
Not necessarily. It’s over-sharpened, causing unintended halos and edge enhancement like artifacts (plus over exaggerated film grain), if not only inconsistent colour timing with magneta hues. Neither 2013 and 2018 are ideal remasters but if I were to pick between the two poisons, it’d be the 2018 4K HDR one. At least it restored the intended blacks and shadow depth. It’s just too bad we have yet to have a faithful definitive remaster yet. 2013’s 3D version comes closest to that, involving Spielberg himself and other original crew members. We need a good 2D remaster based on the 3D version, tweaked for 2D viewing .
I recently got this and although not as bad as the representation of this video, it certainly doesn't compare to the color pop in the blu ray. Though the blu ray has way too much noise/ film grain One hack is if you have a tv with a color boost setting, switch that on, then if your 4k blu ray player has HDR setting adjustment, set it brighter to your liking. I have a smasung OLED 4k tv and a Panasonic 4k blu ray player and although it is a few more steps than what I need to take, it definitely makes the picture look like it should in 4k. I've also had to do the same thing with the original star wars movies, but just only using the color booster setting. Hope this helps
It doesn't. It's graded to look more natural. Colors aren't usually explosively saturated in real life. The lighting and coloring is generally superior in the HDR version, although the detail pops more in the SDR due to the lack of digital noise reduction.
@@Selrisitai Yes. And I’d add that the detail pops way more than intended because the SdR version is oversharpened, hence some halls here and there. 2011 SDR is the worse out there. 2018 HDR comes second. 2013 3D would be first if it wasn’t for its excessive DNR (it was necessary for 3D conversion).
I'm not really a fan of film grain - at least when it gets to a point where it actually begins to detract from the actual subject (which has been the case quite a few times on blurays I have purchased).
In exactly the same way if you buy a CD of classical music and compare that to the same recording played over the radio, the CD will have a vastly higher dynamic range. With HDR, you need a monitor capable of displaying that visual equivalent of the dynamic range. Ideally a good quality OLED for instance where it can literally go a perfect black and everything in between that and maximum brightness. Otherwise it all appears dull and muddled in the same way that CD would have if you had set the volume control to the same level you would have with the much more compressed broadcast version of it.
I love the noise processing on the HDR 4K version. Admittedly some of it on close ups and in rain shots looks a little digitised. The original film did have an overused colour palette and had some deep blacks due to poor colour range but the HDR version has crushed those blacks. Also the shadow drops are too much especially @6.11. Vibrancy needed to be desaturated but some shots in there could do with a boost on the HDR front. Overall reviewing the HDR I would bring back the blacks a little, boost the contrast, lift the shadows, slight boost on saturation but keep vibrancy where it is. I would texture map the SDR sharpness and re add it to the final HDR edit so you regain that sharp quality.
HDR is so freakin annoying. 4k has better quality but Monitor needs brightness. I switch it to RTS mode on my monitor to brighten up the image and that’s all I need.
HDR doesn’t have to be “freaking annoying”. It can be brilliant if handled by the right engineer. Jurassic Park’s remastering was not the case, handled on a third party basis (that or in house) on every home video iteration, unlike the 2013 3D version of the film. If you compare this 4K version with Jumanji’s 4K HDR, let alone, you’d wish Jurassic had Jumanji’s level of remaster. But even SDR wise, older films like Sound of Music (1965) has a better looking remaster than Jurassic (1993). That’s how you know something isn’t right.
I still prefer to see it how it was in theaters, without the yellow color grading applied to the whole film. Feels like I'm wearing yellow shooting glasses when I see that color-graded version.
@@martinddhyj I have a hard time believing that, I'd have to see the prints. Even if it did have a tint, I dont imagine it was as bad as the urine color the 3D version had.

Jurassic Park 4K vs Blu-ray Comparison (SDR version)

🫢 comparison
I own both of them and SDR looks sharper.
It just seems like they darkened it to hide film grain, nothing more.

Its good hdr convertion, my only complaint its the 4k version has too much noise reduction. The movie was made on film, so keep the grain.
