The takeaway is that many so-called 4k movies aren't 4k because they were mastered in 2k. This occurred from the early 2000s until about 2020. We got almost 2 decades of movies that can never be 4k because they weren't shot in 4k or better. On the other hand, everything shot in 35mm film can readily be scanned into 4k, so anything from about 2000 or prior are likely legit 4k movies.
The net result of learning this is that I was forced to buy a 98" TV, because at my viewing distance I wasn't getting any benefit from content with more than 720p resolution with a 75" TV at 14ft distance. Here's the chart that made me do it.
I made the purchase when there was a Slickdeal for a 98' TV for $1000 at Bestbuy, I had store credit I would not otherwise use, and my wife was out of town. When she got home and saw the TV, she didn't seem to understand all the science and logic I was throwing down.
