I currently have Plex and Radarr. I only ever got 1080p content because that’s all my tv would do. Finally getting a nice new tv and would like to get a few 4K hdr movies to watch. Should I be looking for Bluray2160, Remux, or disk and what will Plex play?

    Just the normal 2160p is probably what you want, remuxes are going to get very large with marginal benefit. You might have trouble if you’re using the built-in smart tv app for plex, but the plex app on chromecast will keep up fine.

      As far as I remember, Remux is the only way to have True 10Bit HDR…

      When compressed, HDR is either removed or not really working anymore - at least this was consensus some years ago.

        There are quite a lot of h265 HDR rips available now, particularly for newer series released on Netflix etc. They definitely support full 10bit HDR and look good to my eyes.
