Pretty sure you need a 4k Blu-ray player. Or have someone rip the video for you and play it with VLC or use your Jellyfin server.

I adore this movie.
What would I need to watch a 4k disc?
A 4k or better TV, obviously, but can a regular blue-ray player play these or would I need a new one?

To get everything I think you need a sound system that can reproduce the lowest sounds. I’ve heard the base gets so low you can only feel it. Not sure if that’s true as I can’t find what I had read about it.

Master and Commander sounds amazing on a great system, but honestly, it’s so well done that it sounds pretty smashing even on a basic 5.1.
The sound designers really knocked it out of the park.Prox@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s for true(ish) and not even that expensive. Plenty of subwoofers will produce frequencies around 20Hz, which is typically regarded as the lowest humans hear.

Interesting. I’ll start looking into it. I’m not really a cine- or aurio-phile, but my TVs are ten years old so it might be upgrade time.

You would need a 4K/UHD Blu-ray player, too. The Panasonic DP-UB820 is generally considered the best buy - it offers a good balance between performance and price.

Thank you for the specific tip!
