Hi all, I'm looking for some good 4k HDR footage to show off my screen later in the week to a tech savvy mate. Ideally with good audio as well. A concert would be ideal. I have trawled YouTube and found a few but is there anywhere else I shold be looking online for streaming opportunities?

No problem. Disclaimer though, I'm no professional just this is stuff that I have seen and thought looked impressive, image wise.

Four basic colours- just looked really good on my sony. Good contrast.

Space walk- image quality and contrast looked great. It was like looking out of a window.

A lot of the content on there doesn't look great to me. I'm still looking though so will add some more tonight I'd I find anything.

I'm still looking so will stick some more up if I find them.

Used to be one goto site for the company demos, LG, Samsung etc. That seems to be finished now. Someone else seems to have picked up the baton.

This now seems to get a mention on AVS forum.

No idea of its provenance (virus etc. but I am on a Mac) the New York LG demo is superb.

Drop it on a data stick and pop it in the TV.

Seems my set will not show HDR off youtube, but some appear to be filmed and shown in HDR and not toggling the TV ability to do this. Example is I can stick on Planet Earth II, and the HDR flag comes up. Try youtube and no HDR flag but the colours look popped and a HDR in the title so I wonder how many are a recording with no HDR data?

Might just be my set and my app but make sure you are getting the full HDR and not a watered down pre recorded.

Thanks for this link. I used to use the previous site and have just got a new TV so it will be good to test some of the latest demos.

It would be good if more 'real' content actually came anywhere close to these in terms of technical quality,..

Just put on Dunkirk, It's the first 4K film I've been impressed by the picture. The colour and clarity is fantastic.

And luckily, being off sick from work has meant -15db on the Amp biggrin

Cannot recommend Planet Earth II enough for 4K HDR (on disk). I understand that the filming was all above 4K and the masters have no sub 4K.

Mad Max is great though not full fat 4K on the masters, and The Martian, it is the HDR add on there I think. But both visual treats. Blade Runner (original rescanned 4K) is a stunner if you like the film. Both Independence days are cracking visually though the second film is dire, so bad it is worth watching to see how bad it is.
