This leads to some really quite extreme contrast at times, where small points of bright light can stand out with great intensity against dark surroundings. It’s worth noting that according to my Panasonic UB820 4K Blu-ray player, the film has been mastered into a 4000-nit ‘container’ - but no more specific MaxFALL and Max Light Level values have been provided.

Skin tones avoid the slightly waxy look they sometimes take on with the HD Blu-ray image too and, unusually (but appropriately), the HDR and wide color grade is used to create a more somber mood than the HD Blu-ray’s flatter, less expressive SDR master. Nowhere more so than near the start in the beautifully toned and contrast-rich sequence where Stark and Nebula are marooned in deep space. More importantly, while the Avengers: Endgame transfer certainly doesn’t always look dazzlingly vibrant and bold (in fact, it often looks quite dark), the extra color range does make the world feel richer and more spatially defined. But there are certainly some spectacular, high-volume colour highlights alongside the generally richer grading, such as Tony Stark’s illuminated heart, and Captain Marvel’s ‘look ma, I can fly!’ glow. This isn’t as consistently aggressively used as we’ve seen with some previous Marvel releases (especially Guardians Of The Galaxy 2). There’s a more solid, expansive but also subtle look to the 4K Blu-ray’s colors than you get with the HD Blu-ray too. There’s scarcely a hint of grain or noise at any point, leaving you with a polished, consistent finish ideally suited to helping you become engrossed in Endgame’s characters and superheroic shenanigans.Īll for one, and one for all.

Starting with the fact that the image is super-clean. While Endgame’s picture quality is good enough to consistently deliver a substantial upgrade over the HD Blu-ray image, it isn’t quite the reference grade release I can’t help but feel Disney could have achieved if it had really wanted to.
