Re: UHD on Virgin Media
The difference is usually quite obvious although some films do not reflect it - some films broadcast in 4K may have only been made in 2K.
There is no HDR or Atmos via VirginMedia for SkyUHD at this time.

You are using a 4K amp for video?

After some tinkering things improved but a couple of points: bit rate is poor and I’m not sure if it’s even proper 2160p. There doesn’t appear to be any HDR on offer, I didn’t check the amp but certainly didn’t sound like broadcast atmos.

Any app through my Philips OLED is vastly superior. Netflix with Dolby vision is massively better, BBC I played is better, even Amazon prime with HDR10+ is better and UHD Blu-rays make the gap in picture quality laughable.

Will give it month mainly for the justice league Snyder cut next week but will likely cancel.
