I heard the news recently that BestBuy is starting to phase out 4k Blu-ray Discs and it's really depressing. I have a fairly modest TV and a sound system, combined they probably cost less than $2000. And even I can notice that streaming looks and sounds bad compared to 4k blu-ray.
Not only is the video compressed to shit, but the sound is only dolby digital and not True-HD or DTS-HD uncompressed which sounds so much more impactful even on my system. And experts say even regular old 1080p blu-rays are better quality than 4k streaming.
At least with gaming if you switch to digital you ge the same quality as physical media. With movies you get a huge downgrade and often at the same cost. I don't understand why consumers are settling with this.
