Not the best transfer.

Although the 4K picture looks good (not great), there are several times throughout the film where the audio is not in synch with the video. It’s quite obvious. I don’t have an elaborate set up where the audio has to travel a long way to be heard; it’s just my 4K player and my 4K television. All the setting are fine. Every other 4K that I purchased is perfect, including the new Jaws 4K. I’m surprised that no one caught this during the transfer. I would say do not buy this DVD because it isn’t worth it. Aside from the technical issue, the extra features leave much to be desired. Same extras as older versions, unfortunately. I tried returning this to Best Buy and they said that it’s probably a settings issue. Typical response. I worked in audio production for years, but what do I know? They also said that it isn’t their policy to take back defective media. So since it isn’t their policy, I guess they expect me to fly out to Hollywood and return it directly to Warner Brothers Studios. What great customer service. I’m now stuck with a $25 DVD that I won’t ever watch again. Best Buy has lost a customer.

Solid, Not Awesome

Verified Purchase:Yes
When I saw that the original John Carpenter Halloween was available in 4K Ultra HD, I was pretty excited. I bought it, took it home, and popped it into my Sony UHD 4K player to watch on my 65” Samsung OLED 4K TV set, connected with an 8K HDMI 2.1 cable. The pack is a 2-disc set. One disc is the film in 4K, one disc is the film in standard Blue Ray. While the 4K picture is pretty good, despite grain throughout, I was a bit disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high. Maybe I’m not exactly sure what I expected from a dark film originally shot in 1978 now remastered in 4K. The standard Blu Ray version is slightly less grainy than the UHD 4K version, but also less sharp. I believe that this Blue Ray version is basically a previously released Blue Ray version with no additional touch ups. The color timing is a bit off as the picture is quite bright and a bit too warm. Both discs have different special features. Both should have the same features so that you don’t have to switch discs to enjoy all the features. The menu of the 4K disc has much to be desired. It’s a static background (of the original movie artwork) that has obviously not been retouched, The menu of the standard Blue Ray disc is animated with sound. Overall, it was a good buy of a great horror classic. I’m happy to have the 4K version in my film library.

Enjoy movies and other streaming content with this Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player. Built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity allow for media to be streamed in high quality, while a super quick start mode minimizes fuss during use. This Sony 4K Blu-ray disc player has two HDMI outputs for simultaneous use with multiple screens.

Great True 4K HDR DVD Player

A sleek player with excellent video quality. It starts pretty quickly and has easy navigation and menus. I wish regular DVDs and some Blue Rays looked better, however. The player is supposed to upscale, but maybe the DVDs I’m playing are cheap and so the upscaling isn’t great. Or maybe I just expect too much. Not sure which.
