The words of somebody that's never witnessed the quality of a UHD disc :)
- dotancohen 5y agoSell it to me! Seriously, I'd love to hear how much better the quality could be. I miss 35 mm and spot (and hear) digital artifacts often and it drives me crazy.
- nottorp 5y agoGet a blu ray (not even UHD) of Matrix (the 1999 one, there were never any sequels) and compare the lobby explosion scene with any torrent or stream. Mind, it's not worth it for most movies. However, those flames are a good example of why bandwidth can matter.
- dx034 5y agoBut even a 20GB file? Streams are much more compressed, but I found files >20GB or so to be pretty much the same quality. Which doesn't really matter though, you can also find 40GB files of most movies, they should (if encoded well) definitely match the quality.
- oauea 5y agoHigh quality torrents exist? I could download this right now: BD66 / m2ts / Blu-ray / 2160p / Scene / Dolby Atmos / Dolby Vision / HDR10. It's a 64GB file.
- dopa42365 5y agoYep, just search for "FraMeSToR" releases.
- iamacyborg 5y agoYeah, at that point you're basically just downloading a bluray rip.
- wing-_-nuts 5y agoI bought a copy of planet earth / blue planet II to test out my new fancy oled this year. It's a damned near religious experience watching those series in 4k.
- chungy 5y agoBlu-ray 1080p movies tend to be around 35-45GB per title. 4k movies tend to be around 70-100GB per title. The disc capacity contributes a lot to disc authors tweaking codec settings to value quality above file size. Visible artifacts are fairly rare even on complex scenes. You could practically believe you're watching a lossless source.
- brnt 5y agoIgnorance is bliss, and I prefer bliss ;)
- aqfamnzc 5y agoThis is legitimately the stance I take on audio quality, video quality above 1080p (although I do notice the difference in bitrate between streams), cars, video games, and a lot of other things.

- brnt 5y agoI've been spoiling myself and forced Netflix to 1080p (due to Linux, by default it won't go over 720) and I'm starting to slowly agree higher bitrates do look nicer. It's just that I come from VCD rips and still think that anything better than DVD is fantasticly detailed. Just never had the urge to let myself get used to better, but I'm starting to with 1080p.
- iamacyborg 5y agoIt's wild to me that in 2022 people still aren't used to consuming HD media.
- majewsky 5y ago720p does in fact count as HD. Either that or you don't remember SD content. :)
- brnt 5y agoI watch things for the story, not the pixels :)
- iamacyborg 5y agoThose pixels add up to a beautiful experience, particularly if you're watching something like Too Old to Die Young.
