This blu-ray is not a 4K upscaler one and as you mentioned I had heard that you need to turn the 4K upscale OFF on the blu-ray player in preference to the 4K upscaling on the TV (this is confirmed in the specific knowledge doc from SONY detailing how to play a Mastered in 4K blu-ray). Using any HDMI cable (2.0 or lower) did not work (Mastered in 4k greyed out) with the setting on the player for 1080/24p to Automatic. This has an option for setting output to 1080/24p (either Automatic or OFF). My alternative blu-ray player is the SONY BDP-S185B which I think came out in 2011. Post back if Sony help you out with an explanation of this option. Remember that the mastered in 4K Blu-rays were filmed in 4K then scaled back in order to make playable on standard Blu-ray players as of yet there are no 4K players available. I am sure that if you ever get your hands on any raw 4K that the quality will be excellent and the TV does then not have to upscale anything - the pixels will be filled to the max. They were never anything like the quality of the actual Blu-ray dics. This was always the case with upscaling to HD when using standard DVD's on upscaling DVD/ Blu-ray players. Regarding the quality of the upscaling I have always maintained that is not the best, so to speak. If you select the upscaling option on the player it counter acts and greys out the mastered in 4K option on the TV, I have tried this. Is your Blu-ray player capable of 4K upscaling ? My Blu-ray player (Home Theatre BDV-N9100W) has the 4K upscaling option on it but I disable it in favour of the televisions own upscaling processor as it is most definitley more powerful hence the expense.

I do not understand unless it is a PS3 issue how you solved it with HDMI 2.0, I could not get HDMI 2.0 leads when I constructed my 'entertainment corner' so used the Sony high speed leads which may have been 1.4 (not sure) but they stated that they could handle ARC, network and 4K signals. You may be pleased to hear that you foced my hand to take a look at my HDMI leads around the back of my TV - the dust was just great to see, spent some time cleaning up LOL Pleased you have sorted this out (kind of !), it's always good to get feedback. So in summary the port replicator wasn't at fault as it looked to be the Hdmi cable, still waiting for SONY to respond to original query so I might ask them what I should expect from the 'mastered in 4k' option ! Perhaps I was expecting too much although some of the reviews of these mastered in 4k blu Rays had somewhat good reviews stating that you would see a difference.īecause of this I did get the TV off the wall and plugged in the Hdmi cable directly bypassing the port replicator to see if it made a difference, which it didn't.

When you amend any picture settings on the TV you can straight away the changes to the picture but I can't see any difference at all with the 'Mastered in 4k, setting.ĭon't get me wrong, I am very pleased with the TV and the quality seems great but I was expecting to be 'wow'd' by not only the upscale of 1080p blu Ray but also with the fact that it had been optimised for 4k. HOWEVER, when playing a SONY Mastered in 4k blu Ray disc (Spider-Man) I can see absolutely no difference in picture quality between the 'Mastered in 4k' setting being ON or OFF. The Hdmi cable previously used was a high speed one although not sure of the version. It still doesn't work for my Sony blu-Ray player but that's fine although strange because you have an option to automatically play blu Rays as 1080/24p. Before I got the TV off the wall I purchased a high speed 2.0 Hdmi cable and plugged into the port replicator, lo and behold this has worked for the PS3 player and has made the 'mastered in 4k' option usable.
