When one goes to the movies that is if one still goes to the movies , they will see a 4K x image on a screen that is on average about 64 feet across diagonally from a distance of feet. In this setting, if the resolution were to be cut down to HD x , viewers would notice the difference because of the sheer size of the screen.
Now consider a home setup. I watch my media on a inch screen from about 10 feet away. However, if I were to have a 70—inch screen and watch from 6 feet away, the difference between HD and 4K would be just as stark. The same would be true if I went in the other direction: if I were to watch on a 30—inch screen and go back to watching from 10 feet away which is the setup that most of my friends have , the difference between HD and SD would be minimized.
Such a minuscule difference therefore makes the upgrade from DVD to Blu-ray seem unwarranted to most consumers. Using the PS4 to play Blu-ray in this space would be pointless—that TV's too small for one to notice a difference. If a product is to succeed, it has to be in the right place at the right time. When it surfaced, the timing seemed right for Blu-ray to successfully take off: consumers were buying bigger digital screens. However, its ascension was skewed by the simultaneous rise of non-physical digital media and streaming.
The difference in quality between the digital copy and Blu-ray was even more minuscule than with DVD. Apple, Amazon, Ultraviolet. This war has essentially been another repeat of CD vs. Blu-ray's end? The difference between the three different types of disc is how much data you can store on them. They're all the same physical CD-size we've been used to for years, regardless of the format. Think of a movie or a TV show as a file on your computer — the higher the resolution, the sharper the image and the more space it takes up on the disc:.
But a higher resolution doesn't necessarily mean great picture quality keep reading to find out more. Higher resolution makes for a sharper image, that's a given. But when it comes to colour and contrast, things are less certain. How a film is mastered for each format makes a difference to the quality.
A Blu-ray version of a film could have rich, vivid colours and a finely balanced contrast, while the 4K version could look washed out and bland. This is more of an issue when an older film that was never released in 4K, or even HD, before is remastered to take advantage of the higher-resolution format.
If the remastering is done poorly, then you'll notice the problems with colour and contrast. This technology boosts contrast, creating a greater range between bright and dark parts of the screen — to find out more, go to what is HDR TV. It's a hit and miss technology, though. The discs are expensive, take up space and can be damaged. You might be surprised then that a recent report conducted by the NPD Group showed that a lot of people are actually still buying Blu-ray discs and Blu-Ray players.
The difference is that a 4K stream requires a connection that is not only fast in general, but fast when you want to watch your movie. Originally Posted by Blu-Ray Hunter.

If you love a movie you want the best version you can have. For the most part Blu-ray provides the best version. Trading Score: 2. I'm like Navyman except I am newly retired Navyman in that I am only replacing the movies I really enjoy and watch over and over. I had about DVDs and I've replaced about In my collection I still have some that aren't out on blu-ray yet and when they come out I'm sure they will get replaced with the blu.

It is not about the way it was shot, it is about how much care and effort goes into the blu-ray transfer. Just about any movie can benefit from a Blu-ray transfer. Trading Score: 6.

Now the question is if all of them will be released in BD Member since: Aug I likely "shouldn't" but I want too and that's all that matters in this case.
So, I'm happy to re-buy them all. Except Once Upon a Time in Mexico. I'll keep that one so that whenever I consider buying the Blu Ray I can go watch the DVD again and remember that the movie pretty much sux. I would trade it in but I bought a ex rental copy and it plays perfect but the case is not standard and I bet Newbury won't accept it. Member since: Oct Last edited by blu2; at PM.
