As one of TechRadar’s TV reviewers, 4K Blu-ray is integral to my testing process. That’s because 4K Blu-ray discs provide consistent picture quality, along with a higher bitrate compared to streaming (128Mbps for 4K Blu-ray vs 17-25Mbps average with 4K streaming). They also provide uncompressed soundtracks, making them a superior option for audio testing.
As part of TechRadar’s Home Theater Week, I thought I’d share what 4K Blu-rays I use for testing not only the best TVs, but also the best soundbars and best projectors. There are four discs I routinely use, though my rotation has changed over time and I’m always discovering new discs for testing via our monthly Blu-ray Bounty feature, where we review the best 4K Blu-ray releases from each month.
