FUTURE-PROOF YOUR COLLECTION WITH 4K UHD

Posted on December 19, 2018Author Kyle Kubo

THE FUTURE IS NOW

4K UHD is the next big thing in movies, offering cutting-edge, hyper-realistic levels of clarity, color, and sound that surpass every previous home-viewing experience (for the full details on what makes 4K UHD so amazing, check out this post).

4K technology is relatively new, so your current devices may not be capable of 4K UHD playback, but that doesn’t mean your movie collection can’t keep up with the times.

Starting now, when you purchase a movie on Vudu you’ll have the option to purchase the 4K UHD version even if your device isn’t 4K UHD compatible.

The 4K UHD purchase includes all other formats of the film, so you can watch the standard or HDX version of your movie now and have the 4K UHD version ready when you decide to upgrade to a newer device.

Re-buying movies for better quality is a drag, so this holiday give your future self the present of top-quality movies that are ready to go.

WHAT IS 4K UHD?

Posted on November 22, 2018Author Kyle Kubo

WELCOME TO THE FUTURE

You’ve probably been hearing a lot of buzz about 4K UHD lately, but may be a little unclear on what exactly it is and what makes it so great. With our 48-hour Black Friday 4K UHD Sale happening now, we figured it;s the perfect time for a little 4K UHD crash course.

GET THE PICTURE

4K, or 4K Ultra HD, is a video resolution technology that provides a picture with four times as many pixels as 1080p HDX resolution. More pixels means more clarity, more detail, and a more lifelike viewing experience than ever before. Vudu’s 4K UHD movies have all of that, plus next level color and sound thanks to HDR support and Dolby Atmos compatibility.

IN LIVING COLOR

HDR, or High Dynamic Range, comes in two types: Dolby Vision and HDR10. Both offer cutting edge picture brightness, contrast, and color for your movies, and both are supported by Vudu 4K UHD, so you can enjoy eye-popping color with whichever version is compatible with your device.

BRING THE NOISE

Dolby Atmos is the future of multidimensional sound, with crisp, booming audio that you can feel filling the room. If you have a Dolby Atmos-enabled sound system, our 4K UHD movies will make sure you’re getting the absolute most out of your equipment.

Sounds pretty good, right? If you’re ready to experience a whole new world of visual and audio quality, head over to our 48-hour Black Friday 4K UHD Sale for amazing deals on new releases like Blade Runner 2049, Ready Player One, and Wonder Woman.
