I legitimately don’t understand how you can care enough about movies and TV to buy physical media, but little enough that standard definition is not a deal breaker. This is not a criticism, it just makes absolutely no sense to me.
- daveidol 4y agoSeriously - 480i is pretty awful these days. I don't even watch YouTube videos at that resolution on my phone. I can't imagine watching full movies at that resolution in 2022.
- Gigachad 4y agoThese days if I'm watching youtube on my TV I'll usually preference 4K content because 1080 is just noticeably bad. I wish people would start uploading HDR content because it's another huge leap in quality.
- Dylan16807 4y agoThough for youtube on a TV, bitrate is probably the dominating factor in the difference between 1080 and 4K.
- Gigachad 4y agoYeah very likely. I play 1080p switch games and they are generally ok, clearly not as good as 4k but not as bad as youtube 1080p.
- weberer 4y agoYoutube 480p is a world of difference crappier than DVD 480p.
- Kamq 4y agoPersonally, I started during the days when things went on and off netflix rather often. It turns out the few shows I really wanted to watch were available on ebay reasonably cheaply, and I didn't have to pay any attention to availability anymore. It snowballed from there, as I kept adding more shows. As far as the quality goes, I don't really like wearing my glasses when I get home. I literally can't tell the difference from my couch. Unless it's a show that requires subtitles, then I need to put on my glasses, but I'm pretty used to everything being a little blurry anyways.
- Beldin 4y agoI care about the story. SD typically is sufficient for not distracting me from the story.
