DVD’s mpeg 2 is vastly inferior to h.265/av1 used by most streaming providers. And there’s only so much quality you can get out of a 480p frame.
4k blu-ray is much better than any streaming provider, though. And 1080p blu-ray about equal to 4k streaming.
- TylerE 3y agoIronically, with 4K on a good OLED TV, I actually find HDR to be a bigger deal than the res. The res works both ways...stuff that was shot well is gorgeous...but stuff that wasn't filmed so well - you're going to see tons of grain, any dirt on the print, etc. Black and white films in HDR are gorgeous.. and filmic in a way they've never looked before on home media. Usually on 4K discs they've been rescanned and restored, but not always, and sometimes even a good restoration job leaves a lot behind.
- ihattendorf 3y agoYou're right, I completely ignored HDR. That can make a large difference as well.
- bombcar 3y agoThis might be it - some of the content that was mastered for DVD feels better (admittedly upscaled DVD content via the player) than badly remastered "HD" content where you end up seeing things you're not really supposed to see.
