Tremors was was on a decent 4k tv as well... had to replace it last December after my 10 yr old tv blew up...
I think it depends on the film. The Blade Runner 4K Ultra HD disc is noticeably more detailed, textured, and with more vibrant colours and deeper blacks.

I watched some of the Guardians of the Galaxy 4K disc (the 'space chase' sequence) when I first had my player then switched to the Blu-ray and couldn't believe how dull it looked in comparison. Gladiator looks and sounds amazing, there are plenty of other discs – 2001: A Space Odyssey, Saving Private Ryan, Deadpool, Fury, Everest, Apocalypse Now, Dawn of the Dead – where the picture quality has really impressed me.
