Due to a recently increased upload speed, I can now stream to some of my users 4K content from my Plex server. However, I do not have infinite hard drive space, so I would, at least initially, prefer to limit my 4K collection to films and TV show shows that actually benefit from it.

Personally, and with several of my friends, we’ve come to the agreement that 4K video has about as much advantage as 720 versus 1080. It’s not that big of a leap, and often not entirely worth the upgrade (when accounting for the hard drive space consideration, the added darkness, etc). However, with some films and TV shows, it really does make a huge difference.

With that in mind, what films and TV shows would you recommend that definitely benefit from 4K viewing?

    Greyhound was great (AV wise) in 4k 7.1, might be a good one if you like war movies. Other than that the movie is bleh to be honest. I only put it on to show off my setup…

      Yeah, I’m not really looking for shows that show off the 4K. I’ve had 4K TVs before. I’m just trying to be a bit discriminating regarding what I spend hard drive space on. I don’t wanna get a huge video file in 4K if the 4K experience isn’t worth it. You know what I mean?
