Is there a video which compares 1080 and 4k and another one comparing HDR vs SDR?

When I watch 4k content I think, wow, this is great detail. But when I watch 1080 this is very good, but the tiny people in the background wouldn't be blurred in 4k.

And when I watch a dark SDR video I hate that the movie companies didn't release HDR quality although it's a recent movie/ series. But how would I know if it would be better?

I always think that the grass is greener on the other side, but how would I know?

Would it be hard to create such a video file? I guess with ffmpeg. But all else would need to be kept constant which is the difficult part

Not really possible. A 1080p video smashed into a 4k container (so it can actually represent the 4k part) would look worse than a true 1080p video file since that would get up scaled by your TV or monitor in most situations.

Best comparison would be making a playlist of the same video first in 1080p and then 4k.

Dang was hoping to do that with mkvtoolnix. That way I could have 2 different resolutions of the same video in one file
