what happen if you play it on a 1080p screen? Does its affect quality? This is nice of them:
The specification also mandates all new Ultra HD Blu-ray players be capable of playing back current Blu-ray Discs, giving consumers access to the vast library of more than 10,000 titles currently available on Blu-ray Disc.

It'll depend a lot on the downscaler, but if something is of proper 1080p quality to begin with (unlike 99.9% of the trash that's streamed online or through digital cable) it would only be as good in a best case scenario.

less to none i guess in imaging, downscale affect quality less not like upscale like watching fullhd movie on old-small-resolution-screen, do u see quality loss? but now downscaling 4k video, which is 4x + more datarate over fullhd, so i think it depends on the processor

I wish they'd stop using subsampling before they move to another format.

Not a lot of info. Capacity of the disks? Video format being used (I am hoping for H.265)? Will the players play DVDs as well?

Nothing can match the Blu-Ray when it comes to quality.. And we DO need a standard whose only purpose would be to set the reference quality, if nothing else..

I was expecting them to use BD XL, I'm not so sure with them announcing new players.

I prefer disc versions of almost everything i watch, why? quality. Not saying streaming can't be good quality, and if ALL streaming was the highest quality they could be at, at whatever resolution it is, then sure i'd give up discs likely, but until then, nope i don't trust it

most of the time it won't ... an exemple "sucker punch" from warner, the actual stream is better than the BRD that i have bought when it launch... i really love a movie with quality on both video and sound, this was why i was entusiast about the blu ray... many year after i found that it was not as impresive as it should have been...

Is there any logical reason for that? I'm not seeing how something that has been compressed can ever be better than the disc. Unless it was re-compressed from the source in a more efficient way than the disc, which is now outdated .

which'll likely get out-done by what this topic is about..... I'm not sure i understand the point of your post, in reply to the one you replied to. Obviously UHD from netflix on a UHD TV SHOULD be better then a 1080p blu-ray, but that's comparing apples and oranges 1080p netflix is almost always worse, sometimes just as good though, as 1080p blu-ray, which is what was being said, and is true I HIGHLY doubt, considering most streaming media at 1080p looks worse then blu-ray now, that UHD streaming will look as good as UHD blu-ray Quite frankly i see no point to why they compress streaming. The entire point of streaming how netflix does it is it'll give you the best video quality your internet speed can handle, so why cap it artificially?

Most BRs are between 20MB/s and 40MB/s in their bitrate. My 75Mb/s fiber translates to about 7MB/s max. That's why we have compression. Netflix 1080p does not compare to a proper BR.

with higher resolution and sound quality BRD are compressed too, it's just far less than in DVD and in a better way... anyway a UHD film with multichannel sound (as those on most stream provider) doesn't fit on a BRD, maybe on two or 3... stream have evolved too... and now that physical media seller/shop have started desapear i am very pesimistic about the new BRD... despite that any tech advancement is good.

The standard will encode videos under the High Efficiency Video Coding standard. 4K Blu-ray Discs will support both a higher dynamic range by increasing the color depth to 10-bit per color, and a greater color gamut by using the Rec. 2020 color space.The standard will use 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. The 4K-Blu-ray specification allows for three disc sizes, each with their own data rate: 50 GB with 82 Mbit/s, 66 GB with 108 Mbit/s, and 100 GB with 128 Mbit/s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc#Ultra_HD_Blu-ray I don't see streaming on a mass consumer level at the same quality as the physical disk any time in the near future.
