Is there a video which compares 1080 and 4k and another one comparing HDR vs SDR?
When I watch 4k content I think, wow, this is great detail. But when I watch 1080 this is very good, but the tiny people in the background wouldn’t be blurred in 4k.
And when I watch a dark SDR video I hate that the movie companies didn’t release HDR quality although it’s a recent movie/ series. But how would I know if it would be better?
I always think that the grass is greener on the other side, but how would I know?
Would it be hard to create such a video file? I guess with ffmpeg. But all else would need to be kept constant which is the difficult part
Start with a 4K screen. Play a 4K video in VLC. Keep it in windowed mode but make it as big as you possibly can on your screen. Fire up the same video but at 1080p quality. Force that window to be 1920 x 1080 in size. There will be some overlap of the windows, but you can look at the non-overlapped parts and directly compare the video. You can also alt-tab back and forth. Not perfect, but it should give you a pretty good idea. Others - feel free to chime in if this is a good idea or not. I think that so long as the 1080p window is locked in at 1920 x 1080 then it won’t be up-scaled.
