Despite being sourced from this 4K master, the release in question is encoded at . This full High Definition resolution is the standard for Blu-ray. However, because it originates from a pristine 4K scan, the 1080p encode benefits from the "downsampling" effect, which often results in a sharper image with less digital noise than a native 1080p source.

: A downscaled 4K image inherently possesses a higher chroma subsampling accuracy and better macroblock distribution than a native, older-generation 1080p capture. The Efficiency of x265 encoding Despite being sourced from this 4K master, the
