So in 1986 they filmed Labyrinth in full 4k? Or is it some type of conversion?

I'm no film format buff, so I really don't know.

It just seems that HD/UHD has been pretty recent, so maybe that's just the commercial market?

In 1986, Labyrinth was filmed on film so the original source material is at least 4K - JD Jul 24, 13:52 5
- Gotcha. Thanks! -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 14:51 3
  - As impressive as it may sound, you shouldn't think of 4K as any type of improvement over film. It's still a degraded version of the original. -- (edited) - con_carne Jul 24, 15:08 2
    - Were the projectors at that time projecting at better than (or close to) UHD? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 15:12 1
      - Film theoretically has infinite resolution - Reagen Jul 24, 16:04
- Right. (And JD knows more about this than I do since he's worked with film projection.) -- nm - David Jul 24, 13:57
