I have both discs, but I’ve never done the comparison.
I have to ask, or sort of ask via the proxy of just sayin’....
This is an HDR encoded 4k disc. (High Dynamic Range)
It will only look correct when decoded by a properly functioning HDR capable TV or projector.
Otherwise it will look exactly like you say it does. Or, the consensus is..when one plays HDR encoded 4k discs on a non-HDR TV, the image is too dark...and washed out.
Additionally, HDR has fast become the norm for 4k discs, and few are not encoded that way, so it makes HDR capable 4k display devices inescapable, re the need to have and use one. Even some Netflix 4k streaming is now transmitted with HDR encoding.
Nothing on the surround, though. I had 6.2 or 7.2 in 1986 (the original Yamaha DSP-1) and went so overboard...that I went around the bend on it... and now... I have not used surround at all, for the past 20 years. Just stereo.
