I have only 4k tvs, I have a 4k projector, I have 4k blu-ray players. However, I still collect dvds, Blu-ray's along with some 4ks. I always look up a 4k to see if the image quality is a big enough increase to support the higher price. Many times it's not. I have 4500 physical films and only like 150 4ks. There are tons of films that only have dvd releases. There are brand new films (such as 2024s challengers) that don't even release in 4k, only BR. But there are also 4k that come out that are worse than the blu-ray (such as Terminator 2).
If I've learned anything from my collecting it's that there will always be another movie to come out or a new technology that releases (8k tvs etc) but as long as you know your own limit you can be very happy and content without spending tons of money and time on the inevitable "next best thing"

thanks OP, I picked up 5 films
Kodi on retail? I did not know this
Yes, it's inconvenient to own a dedicated UHD Blu-Ray player in addition to a gaming system, but you can't expect these systems to be more than a basic method to play Blu-Rays. They'll be fine for playing older HD Blu-Rays, but be found wanting with 4k material.

Yes my point was they understand a dedicated 4k player is "better" than a dedicated game console that plays movie disc yet they keep asking if that's the case! 🤷🏻 ♂️
The irony is content has gotten better & they buy equipment to take advantage of it and the popular thing to do is pay to stream 4k content! 😋
I also find it funny people talking about waiting for "8K" and we can't even take full advantage of "4k" PQ now!

I totally agree. I mean id say most films don't need to be higher quality to enjoy. There are ones that definitely are. For instance I watched Dunkirk on Netflix in hd at one point. A few months later I got it on 4K and watched that and it was literally a completely different experience. It really matters what the director and cinematographer were envisioning when they made the project. Nolan shoots for the largest screen with the highest quality. Many incredible films are not shot that way so the upgrade to 4k can be rather pointless or even detrimental in some cases.

I'm a regular customer of Hamilton Book so a missing/non-working code is not a big deal for a heavily discounted product. I just want to set the right expectation.
