Paramount vs "European UHD":









Though per the metadata it only goes up to 1000 nits vs 4000 for the Paramount UHD, but who knows if there is any actual difference. Both Dolby Vision (note: my screenshots do not take into account the DV layer).

I'm going to guess it's the recent Scandinavian release. I'll order it.

Done! It's the real deal. It looks much better - in fact it looks a bit too good as the compositing in the final scene now reveals its shockingly poor nature that the subpar encoding of Paramount's UHD managed to conceal a bit better by blurring the edges!

Otherwise it's identical in length, with identical English audio, and English subtitles.

For me that I don't do DV, there's a 25Mbps difference between the two!

Maybe I should buy The Firm next! I haven't seen the film before though.. but it looks interesting.
