@lgans316 I agree with you, and I am absolutely an AV enthusiast. I find it incredible that people think the best 4K streams are still sub Blu-ray quality, but equally I don’t think you’ll ever change their minds. The elephant in the room of Blu-ray discs never magically upgrading to a 4K disc on your shelf for free seems to be completely glossed over as well.
Agree especially on the bolded words. If I post a comment in another forum on how a 4K stream looked, there are a bunch of folks to gang up and bully you into saying streaming is shite and it is not a good indication of how the disc will look like. If you politely tell them use the 4K iTunes/MA stream as a guidance then once again complete denial. Its like talking to a wall or an Ostrich that has sunk its head deep down in the sand. People think the difference is massive when it is not. Maybe on bigger screens (77 or above) but not on my highly rated 2019 Panasonic 65 GZ OLED. Btw, I am talking about iTunes/MA. We do lose the highest frequency and edge information on the stream but once again we are talking about something super minor. We can't please everyone and whatever you can afford, just go with it as the physical vs digital argument will continue even from our deathbeds lol
