Comment on Why the Dying DVD Business Could Be Headed for a Resurrection

tell me you dont care about video quality at all without telling me you dont care about video quality at all.
it is incredibly easy in a blind a/b test to pick put a streamed title vs a native bluray title. by video and by audio (provided you are using something that isnt your shitty built-in TV speakers). im not sure why youre confidently making this assertion that literally anyone can test at home with basic equipment.

I’ll admit to arrogance on blu-ray, I have never owned a blu-ray player. My assertion was in regards to DVD, which I do still own a player for and use reasonably regularly. I don’t seriously think anyone is buying DVDs for the purpose of quality, since afaik they are still only 1080p max. At the very least, most of the DVDs that I personally own are still SD, and as such look about as good as 4k streamed with compression.

Titles that have never been released on bluray (but did have a DVD release) are still noticably better on disc than streamed. And that is a surprising number of older TV shows.
