4K debate about LOTR?

[herlig9]

I have it on DVD, i recorded it in HDMI with capture card. Theatrical release. And thats what i am sticking with

But. Whats people's views on 4k versions? Ever since i got Terminator 2 2017 Bluray, i have now... glared at 4k with scepticism. Since James Cameron movies have bad rumors of poor preservation interms of 4K release.
Reason i didnt like Terminator 2 2017 Bluray release, is the colour contrast is wacky. Its too dim. Removes the warm colours that the original have. So its why i have ordered 2015 Lionsgate American region release. (Since its bluray and i live in Europe, i tend to use the Xreveal decryption method) with a Bluray player on PC, i can just put on subs and play it that way.

But i dont own 4K player. Just overall curious. Does Lord of the Rings look good in 4k? I dont know how Peter Jackson movies look in that is all?


edit: Or i checked youtube video to compare. And compared it with the DVD video file i recorded it from. Lets just say..
I am glad i own the Theatrical DVD release. Its like 4k said "No natural colours allowed"


YouTube 4k comparison vs The DVD theatrical release i own.

I'm not going to spend any more money on it. It has been my experience that the better tech reveals previously unnoticeable flaws. I don't think any amount of tech can make those green ants look better.

I have a 720P Sony Baloney 40" flat screen TV (bought in 2007) so it doesn't matter how hi tech a disc is, I'll never see the benefit.
However, not a few of my friends have almost the latest-and-greatest in video tech ..only maybe not 4K.
But I have noticed when we watch blueray discs (their equipment) I can see every pore in closeups, every nose hair and ear hair, and it is disgusting.
And eyes look weirdly "sparkly".
Not to mention like @herlig9 says, colors start looking "off" and not realistic.
So I have no desire to move beyond the extended version DVDs of LOTR (the ones that look like they are "books").
I only own two Blu-rays for other movies and that is because the DVD s were so badly made.
But the rest of all my movies are 90% DVD, 5% BD and 5% VHS (Yep VHS tape because the movie was never [commercially] available in DVD).
