Trade off: higher quality makes flaws and imperfections more visible.
This looks like a standard game ground texture.

@newt I think VLC messed up the screenshot. On my screen they both look the same.

@r000t I don't know how to on HBO Max, but articles says h264 7-10Mbps. The Bluray encode here is h265 30Mbps.

Bruh, the higher quality reveals the flaws. His mouth looks like it's from a video game.

@sjw
The thing that absolutely killed it for me in this movie is some of the low light scenes. The transitions between grays combined with the noise looked just awful. Plus stuff like leaves or Kong's hair.
I have no clue how normies don't notice.
I was super excited when finally land TV got an upgrade, because with DVB-T we used like h263 6k 540p, text on the news was barely readable. Now it's h265 8k 1080p, but apparently nobody in my family noticed.
@newt

@newt I know. Everywhere a higher resolution means higher bitrate.
So it seems that HBO Max uses h264 and 4k is between 7-10Mbps.
It's also possible it just refuses to serve me the 4k stream because I have a 1080p display.

Why do people stream?!? I have a streaming service for free and I'm still disappointed.

Free HGO Go I got from T-Mobile got switched to HBO Max. I'm watching Godzilla vs. Kong on it and I'm not sure if I even want to, because it just doesn't look good. It says it's 4k but I feel like even a 4k YT video looks better.
