Here’s a review of the release you’re referring to:

The 1080p 10bit Bluray x265 HEVC presentation of "Ben-Hur" (1959) offers an engaging and visually stunning experience. Charlton Heston's portrayal of Judah Ben-Hur is as compelling as ever, and the supporting cast brings depth to this sprawling epic. The story, spanning themes of betrayal, redemption, and faith, is timeless and continues to resonate with audiences today.

  • 1080p: This indicates Full High Definition (1920x1080 pixels). For a film from 1959, this utilizes the full resolution of the original 65mm film negative, offering exceptional clarity.
  • 10bit & HEVC (x265): This is the most important part. x265 is a video compression standard (High Efficiency Video Coding). The "10bit" color depth is crucial for older films. It allows for smoother gradients (reducing "banding" in skies and desert scenes) and better color accuracy than standard 8-bit files, all while keeping the file size relatively manageable.
  • Bluray Source: This confirms the file was ripped directly from a Blu-ray disc, ensuring the source material is the highest quality commercially available.

The specific version you referenced uses modern video compression techniques to preserve the film's 65mm detail:
