Physical 4K discs (aka UHD) require that the video include HDR which alot of people think is a more significant improvement over 4K. Some discs also have DolbyVision or HDR+ which is even better.

You need a TV that supports HDR but if you've bought within the last couple years it probably does.

With streaming content, it's not common to find HDR or DV yet.

wut?

i have about 50 4K movies on my plex server and they are all HDR.

pretty sure amazon prime and youtube are HDR as well; i see the badge pop up on my TCL indicating its HDR when they begin streaming.

not sure about netflix as i don't have a netflix account.

I have, for example, the streaming Vudo edition of Blade Runner and the 4k disc.

Watching the 4k disk is like watching a completely different movie as the sound, colors and blacks are so pure and immersively rich in detail that it's just a completely supreme movie in every way.

I can't speak for netflix but amazon UHD shows are typically in HDR, also.
