Hi all, I'm waiting for Conan the barbarian and monty python's holy grial to be upgraded to 4k, is there a way to know when this would happen? or if it would ever?

Films usually upgrade when the 4K physical media is released. Unfortunately, we don’t know if or when this will happen.

 

There is usually an announcement from the studio several months before release date.

Thanks. Both have been released in 4k, holy grial more recently. I was just hoping I wouldn't have to check manually for each, every week or day. And I don't want to buy the HD versions.

With Predator: Badlands about to be released on digital, it was interesting to read Empire Magazine's franchise rankings.

 

 

Predator (1987)

 

Prey (2022)

 

Predator: Badlands (2025)

 

Predator: Killer of Killers (2025, Animated)

 

Predators (2010)

 

Predator 2 (1990)

 

The Predator (2018)

 

Alien vs Predator (2004)

 

Alien vs Predator: Requiem (2004)

 

I have seen them all except three. Requiem, because of the awful reviews it received, Badlands, because it's too new, and Killer of Killers because it is a Disney+ exclusive at the moment. Prey is also a Disney+ and Prime Video exclusive.

Just reporting back now that my new TCL C7K TV is installed on the wall of my Man Cave.

 

Firstly, this TV is BRIGHT. I was a little disappointed with the pre-sets, but I have chosen a Pre-set for each video setting, HD/SDR, HDR10+/HDR10 and Dolby Vision. I found that none of the pre-sets were to my liking out of the box, so I chose the ones that I preferred, and then adjusted them. Now I have a great picture. I'm still tweaking though. Today I watched Star Trek (2009) which has some very bright scenes in it. I had the picture at my preferred pre-set, Dolby Vision Dark (I have a dark room) with a few tweaks, but it still seared my retinas and I had to close my eyes. This prompted me to drop the brightness by 25% and some scenes were still extremely bright. I may install some bias lighting so that the room isn't so dark. So, I am still in the experimental stage, but things are looking much better. It is definitely a bargain for a TV such as this. I can't imagine what the TCL C8K would be like; It's reported to be one and a half times the brightness of the C7K 😬

 

Audio is by Bang & Olufsen and sounds quite good on the movie setting, but it definitely lacks bass. I will probably use my Apple TV 4K instead of the TV app as the Homepods 2 have quite good bass reproduction.

 

I am confident that over the next week or so, I will have everything looking amazing.
