Dirty Dancing 4K UHD Screenshots (Patreon)

Note: Thank HDMovieSource for these. My disc played okay, but a scratch prevented the BD-ROM from ripping it. They pulled these shots together so we could have some. 

Video

Lionsgate initially released Dirty Dancing as a Best Buy exclusive. This wide release uses the same master, and it's adequate. The best quality comes from the Dolby Vision pass, adding significant punch to the brightness. Lights on the walls, sunlight, and overall contrast make dramatic improvements. Black levels show significant weight and density where possible.

Not impressive is sharpness, dulled and barely bettering the Blu-ray. A messy grain structure isn't well resolved and bounces between clean and noisy. Definition lags, sapping Dirty Dancing of firm texture. There's not much to see in terms of fidelity.

Color saturation runs high, especially flesh tones. Dynamic primaries spruce up the imagery everywhere. That's the Dolby Vision pass at work again, and that seems to be the only work done for this disc.

Audio

It's an active Atmos remix, that's for certain. Parties and crowds flare outward, filling the soundstage masterfully. Heights pick up the music as it echoes around the scenery. Voices and cheers take prominent positions, naturally standing out against the other ambient sounds.

Music swells the low-end a touch, hardly significant, but enough to give Dirty Dancing weight.
