I just upgraded to UHD. My 4k Blu-ray player is on the way.
(I didn't go 3D because I'm sort of annoyed with it. Until they develop a method that doesn't require glasses it's just more trouble than it's worth to me.)
So fellow high-res elitists like me post your recent purchases or viewings in UHD.
I've already made a few purchases...

And I've watched Sicario and Oblivion in UHD and they both look fantastic.
Yeah, if you're a resolution fiend like me. I mean, I guess it depends on the movie, but I think it's worth it, particularly for wide establishing shots.
I think some 1080p files and blu-rays look better on the UHD screen, too.
I picked up both of these the other day because someone had already traded them in and they were much cheaper than usual. I think the store didn't realize they were 4k and a little more valuable. They were each about 10 or 11 bucks. Sweet deal.

For whatever reason this 4k disc just doesn't work in my player. I don't understand it. It's very strange. The only disc I've ever had do that, DVD, bluray, 4k or whatever.
I wish that were the case. I tried two different copies (I sent the first one back thinking it was just defective). I also tried the disc in my brother's player and it acted a little funny, too, with the menu, but did play the movie.
Pacific Rim is probably the best looking 4k disc I've seen so far. It's amazing. It's great that it's 16x9, too. I really wish more movies were filmed that way because they ultimately will end up being seen on flatscreen TVs.
