Top 10 Best Dolby Vision 4K UHD Blu-ray Discs!

[@RK-jp4xe]

Dolby Vision on an OLED tv is the best overall. I was not impressed at first but now it is fantastic. Thanks for the video.

[@MrElcabo18]

Picture quality=Cinema mode! I used to want to burn my eyes.. but watching on a calibrated tv is just different.

[@slayer52893]

Dude. I’ve been looking forward to some Dolby recommendations. Thanks man.

[@LobsterPuncher]

Aquaman is the best looking movie I've ever seen. It's my go to when my friends say they don't believe the hype around 4k

[@randybradley4151]

Mine is Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

[@sethacup2448]

I can't imagine how good it looks on top end 4k tv's. I watched the 4k blu ray on a lower end 4k TCL, and I was blown away and glued to the screen. To think it gets better with a dedicated 4k blu ray player and one of the top OLEDs, it has to be top 5 visually speaking!

Got to say.... I don’t agree with you a lot, but you nailed this list . Great job!

[@SamLovesMovies25]

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Apocalypse Now 4K and 2001: A Space Odyssey 4K have Dolby Vision, and I think those are two of the most stunningly *gorgeous*-looking 4K discs I have seen (along with Blade Runner 4K, but I don't think that one has Dolby Vision)

[@MovieGuy365]

2001 is an absolute stunner, it almost made the list. I could have easily done a 25 list for Dolby Vision.

[@perilouspoozer3749]

I recently bought and watched 2001 in 4K. A stunner indeed, but it was interesting to see how dated the movie was. Hardly a person of colour in sight, certainly not in the professional jobs. The only people of colour that I saw were ladies serving drinks to the exclusively white scientists and NASA officials on the shuttle and/or the space station. Also, no cellphones, tablets or PCs or World-Wide Web. And dear old Leonard Rossiter (RIP) as a Russian scientist with a very unconvincing accent - marvellous.

[@MentalDeviant]

@@perilouspoozer3749 There seems to be few black astronauts in real life so thats realistic. Why does everything have to be about diversity. Do you complain when you see a Japanese movie with all Japanese people. no because it's made in Japan and because that's not part of your TV brainwashing script.

[@perilouspoozer3749]

@@MentalDeviant I didn’t day I was complaining about the scarcity of people of colour. I just said it made the movie seem dated. Sure - a Japanese movie features mostly Japanese people. An American movie should feature mainly American people. I’m no expert but as far as I know, African Americans are American.

Gemini Man is probably the cleanest looking blu ray I’ve ever seen.. Not the best sounding... but... the visuals almost look too realistic. Definitely something to show off your visuals in a home theater. I’m hoping we can see a review of the best atmos mixes on 4K blu rays- For me, the audio is just as important if not more than the visuals to give you that theater experience.

[@marcotalotta]

I'm a huge fan of the next-level experience provided by Dolby Vision and, except for The Invisible Man, I own all of those titles!! I'm glad you included The Wizard of Oz, since it looks at its absolute best in that format. Some other movies that I own digitally and have delighted me with their striking visual presentation are Blade Runner 2049, Bumblebee, Ad Astra, and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Nice video, my friend!

[@MovieGuy365]

[@LukeMtech55]

No question that "Aquaman" is the best. Great list, Adam.

[@dANIELhasMDD]

The only ones I own are Annihilation & Joker and they really do look amazing. Im not sure if its Dolby but the best 4K movie Ive seen is still The Revenant from years ago now.

[@perilouspoozer3749]

I just bought The Revenant in 4K. I haven’t watched it in 4K yet. It’s not Dolby vision but it got top marks from reviewers for the picture quality.

[@chrisd6736]

Ya that one is not actually Dolby vision but holy crap is it a beautiful movie.

[@parrisprice5892]

The revenant is absolutely the best 4k movie I own ,everything is crystal clear,the stream looks real in the opening scene,and the embers from fire rising in the air look like the TV is on fire. I have a C9 OLED, n it really shines with the Revenant. Netflixs POLAR is a very vivid movie too ,with the color saturation level on high. Most great looking 4k movies have a ULTRA HD PREMIUM LOGO somewhere on the box. Red Sparrow is also another great looking flick

[@perilouspoozer3749]

@@parrisprice5892 I'm not sure how much faith to place in the "Ultra HD Premium" logo. I just finished watching Independence Day Resurgence in 4k. Its package bears the logo but, IMO, the HDR is pretty minimal. Not worth the price it cost. Just to make sure that it wasn't my TV (Sony AG9) that was at fault, I then watched some of The Hobbit Trilogy, which is Dolby Vision and the difference is like night and day. Also, The Revenant 4K, despite its brilliance, doesn't bear that logo, at least not here in the UK. I should add that my TV supports DV, HDR10 and HLG but not HDR10+. I don't know if that's why I am getting much better results with DV movies than with non-DV HDR movies.

[@parrisprice5892]

@@perilouspoozer3749 i hear ya man,im in the states(lol) what a joke we are lately,pass 4 years my most profound apologies. I have an LG C9 OLED kinda the same TV you got but LG n,IOS instead of android. I will have to examine my copy of the revenant to see if it has the logo. Is your copy of that movie as clear as ive described? I have Independence day 1 n 2 also. But dont remember anything extraordinary about them.Idk ,ive found its more about how the movie was originally filmed,and then redone if its an older movie pre 4k . I just mentioned the logo because no one ever does,and it usually represents a certain quality, I just watched pacific rim which looked great,atmos rocked too. Do you have Red Sparrow? Its also a very crisp n saturated movie color wise. I almost bought a A8G sony when i got my LG but it was 400$ more n no longer on sale. I kinda like Android better my apple play 2 ,doesn't work as consistently as chromecast. But maybe its because i have only about 15 mb data package on my internet. Stay safe over there cuz happy watching

[@nick1635]

I would put 10 Commandments way out in front as my favorite DV disk, the colours and gold lustre in that film are so sumptuous, and Ready Player One as another go to demo. The Hobbit is another of my favourites with the shire and Smaug scenes in particular, and the Aquaman underwater scenes. Apparently My Fair Lady is on another level according to the pre-release reviews, I can't wait to watch it as I love those old classic movies.

[@KimoPollock]

Unfortunately, I'm still rocking a 1080p DLP TV. But one movie I like to see in Dolby vision is Dredd. When I saw it in the theaters, the colors were incredible.

[@thechickenjuice5410]

Good list. The 3 you missed are Ready Player One, The Matrix, and Saving Private Ryan. The last two get forgotten because there very neutral environments for the most part. Aquaman is, however, the best looking movie on my OLED. It’s crazy that it’s only a 2k DI. Really shows when they spend time on the UHD Blu-ray release. Like your channel, MovieGuy365!

[@haraldperryrhoden1986]

Thank you for your good job! However, as you, like all of us, want the best quality you should take a listen to and review Auro 3d. I think this is the best audio format, because it will get you the best upmixing for the (many) movies that have inferior 3d sound,with allmost no activity in the hight channels.

[@richellebrittain2127]

The biggest problem with Auro 3D is AFAIK it's only on 4K discs released in certain European countries, mainly Germany. Though AVRs with Auro 3D support are sold worldwide, they are far less common than AVRs & soundbars with DTS:X, and even more so Dolby Atmos; same goes for the software. Also, most Auro 3D implementations call for a ceiling-mounted center height channel (aka the "Voice of God" channel) that Atmos does not support (DTS:X generally doesn't specify speakers but most of its implementations follow Atmos speaker suggestions), and which systems with upfiring or virtualized height channels (including all soundbars) generally cannot emulate at all.
