Many consoles come with one built in. We just use the PS5.
I'm not particularly into buying tv shows, but there are definitely quite a few movies out there that look a lot better on a 4k blu-ray than 4k streaming.
- chrisseaton 4y agoYeah people forget a movie can be 4k pixels but not a lot of bits to encode them. I wonder if we should start quoting bit-rates for quality.
- anonymouskimmer 4y agoFlashback to when I encoded 56 kbps mono mp3s to save on limited hard disk space. :D
- account42 4y agoThe codec, aka how efficiently those bits are used also matters a lot.
- chrisseaton 4y agoI wonder if you could give a universal metric of the differential from the source.
- laurencerowe 4y agoI got a PS5 with a 4k blu ray player but have yet to put a disk in it since many films are simply not available. Tried to find Lawrence of Arabia but it seems completely unavailable. Maybe the format is great but lacking lots of content.
- mkozlows 4y agoThat movie is available.
- laurencerowe 4y agoSo it looks like they finally released it in June this year, but only as a $120 limited edition. Before that it was only available as part of a $290 Columbia Classics box set. Think I'll pass.
- eatbitseveryday 4y agoeBay has copies for under $100 or you can rent it https://www.store-3d-blurayrental.com/product-p/cclawarabia4k06-20.htm https://www.store-3d-blurayrental.com/product-p/cclawarabia4... The price does suck, though.
- mkozlows 4y agoIt was actually released at a normal price (I think I paid $20 for it), but yeah, didn't realize it was a limited release that's now going for big money. (The limited release thing is annoying, but... it's a niche market, and one of the ways they get people to buy things at full price instead of waiting for 50% sales, so I get it.)
