John Ford's legendary western The Searchers (1956) finally arrives on 4K Ultra HD in the UK from Warner Bros, and in this review we take a detailed look at the new Limited Edition SteelBook.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest westerns ever made, this new restoration from the original VistaVision camera negatives delivers one of the finest 4K transfers currently available on the format.
In this review we cover:
SteelBook packaging & presentation
4K picture quality review
Dolby Vision HDR performance
Audio quality
Bonus features
Is this release worth upgrading to?
Warner Bros have done an outstanding job here. Fine detail is simply exceptional, the natural film grain is beautifully resolved, and Dolby Vision gives the Technicolor photography new life without ever compromising the film's original appearance.
If you're a fan of classic cinema, westerns or reference-quality 4K transfers, this release comes highly recommended.
Will you be adding The Searchers to your 4K Ultra HD collection?
