    Personally, I think 4K Blu-ray is going to be another bust

    I collected DVDs until HD DVD came along. I still own about 70 DVDs, many of which are anamorphic. The best of them just look okay. But you can believe whatever you want to believe. No biggie. Mark

    Personally, I think 4K Blu-ray is going to be another bust

    I have yet to play a DVD on my 75" 4K screen that looks "fine". At best they look "okay", which I feel is a notch below "fine". I haven't purchased a title on DVD in about 7-8 years. When your two main viewing screens are 75" and 110" it is easy to see the deficiencies of even the best DVD...

    Personally, I think 4K Blu-ray is going to be another bust

    I now have four 4K titles on 4K Blu-ray. The price had to be right (under $25) and the source must be a true 4K source, not 2K upscaled to 4K. I think one of my buys was mistakenly advertised as true 4K, but I don't remember which (edit: Star Trek Beyond). I have the 4K TV (75") but don't...
